Q7. Who do you think Mr. Nath is? Write a paragraph or two about him. 

Ans. I think Mr. Nath is just an ordinary man who is probably not eating well. He might be an introvert which is why he does not have friends and visitors. He might enjoy being alone than having a company of many others. He is very lean because he does not take meals properly. He is not even particular about the food. He just needs two chapattis, dal and a vegetable. He consults Nishad’s mother, who is a doctor. This means that he is having some ailment. That can be another reason why he prefers to be alone. He also has scars on his face, which make people think that he some crook. But, the scars might be of some accident. The visitor who comes every Sunday might be a family member who is comes to ensure that Mr. Nath is keeping well. 

Q8. What else do you think Nishad and Maya will find out about him? How? Will they ever be friends? Think about these questions and write a paragraph or two to continue the story. 

Ans. I think Nishad and Maya will find out that Mr. Nath is a good person but an introvert. They might even get to know that Mr. Nath is working from home because he does not keep well. That is the reason he prefers being at home and not having visitors. They might become friends later, especially Nishad can be a good friend to him because he was anyway in his favor from the beginning. Maya would have regretted to have doubted him to be a criminal.
