Question

How does Kamala Das try to put away the thoughts of her ageing mother? (My Mother at Sixty Six)

Answer 1

Kamala Das is troubled by the thoughts of her aging mother and tries to console herself by looking outside the car. The sight is full of youthful whim and vigor. She watches the trees 'sprinting' past her speeding car and the children, full of life and activity, running out of their houses to play. Her ashen-like mother troubles her so much that for a moment she ponders over past memories to find solace.
