What makes the author go in such a depth about a house?
(A house is not a home)

Open in App

Solution

Dear student,

When the author realised the value of her mother and how much she loved her, it also made her realise that the fact that a house is built using just bricks and mortar but a home is built when your loved ones reside in it. The author was terrified at the thought of losing her mother as well as her pet but when she got them back, she was happy again.

Regards

Q. Ismail's Home

On the phone Ismail told Srijata the route to his house from her house. The route map is shown here.

This is what Ismail told Srijata:
"From your house, reach the milk-booth and then take a left turn. From the second crossing take a right turn and go over the bridge. Go straight and then take the first right turn. After about 100 metres you will see a big park.
When you cross the park you will come to a side lane. My house is the first house in that lane.
• Did Ismail go wrong somewhere? Can you correct him?
• Show where Srijata will reach if she takes the route he told her.
• Write the directions for going from Ismail's house to Srijata's house.
