And he always used to say that he will be going first. But nani went first and nana became alone. Before a very few days nana had a heart stroke. So all decided not take him in the funeral. Nana was very weak and old at the time of nani's death. He had lived with nani for many many years. So writer has many questions to present his feelings for nana and nani. Must he see her face in death? Must he see her at a fire? But nana was very weak he could not go. He also agreed with the situation and said go take her away. He told the grandson to whisper into her ears that he himself too was on the way to death. So there is so many tragic moments in nani's funeral.

On all the points we all have to adjust a little or more. Here in a relationship there is so much adjustment we have to do. Nana and nani also tried this formula till the end. Nani died earlier to nana. So nana became so alone. He tried to adjust himself without nani. But he could not. Then gradually he found the way to live with nani in illusion. And on some point nana suffered from multiple disorder personality. So in his all whole life he tried to 
adjust with nani and after the death of nani he also found a new way of adjustment. So we can say that all persons need to adjust on some point. Life is also a part of adjustment. So the title is given to this content is very apt and appropriate.

Ans.Adjustment is a story about the writer's nana and nani. Two great souls lived over the half a century together. They tried to adjust with each other till the end. Nana and nani both are very different personalities. Both are very strong and kind. Here, nani was three years younger to nana. Nana was very stone hearted sometimes but nani was very kind. Both 
had mostly different opinions on a matter. So there were obvious arguments. Both would not give up at the end of the discussion. Instead they would become silent and for few days would not talk to each other. Nani put her daughter with her because of her homely issues. At that time, though nana did not like it, nani took care of her daughter and her two sons. Sometimes there is dominant sound in nana's personality. Whatever they did was in fighting but that was also a truth that they both loved each other so much. Both had great understanding. So, yes we can say here that nana and nani were different personalities but in some points they were equal and adorable.

1.A visit to an old age – home. 

We, the students of Class 12- b of Oscar Education ,Dwarka, went to an old-age home in Bindapur. Actually, we had great difficulty reaching there and of course we were all irritated. But, as we reached there, all our misery vanished when we saw people in their 70s and 80s welcoming us cheerfully. We all went to a room and sat down on a carpet and the elderly people sat on chairs, facing us. First we sang Christmas carols for them, and then some of our companions danced beautifully for them. After all this, we again switched on the music and danced with the uncles and aunties sitting there. They all were dancing so enthusiastically, as if their childhood had returned. As we again took our places, Kavaljit Kaur challenged us to an antakshari competition. We outnumbered them, but they all were so good that we had no chance against them. The match ended in a draw as it was their lunchtime. I helped some of them to walk in the premises of the old age home because they could not walk. Others could not see properly and some were so weak and old that they could not even speak properly. On our return journey to our school, I was frightened by the thought of landing there. We have become so selfish that we know how to accept things. We don’t know how to return favours. How can a person leave his parents all alone the parents who have raised him, the parents who care for him, the parents who are willing to do anything for him, the parents who want to be with him. I realised that in this modern world, we are so busy with our work that we tend to forget for whom we are doing it. We spend more time in our workplaces than with our families. We want money desperately but we don’t remember for whom we are earning it..
