Nana used to grumble at everything Nani did. He would keep quibbling with her. At times a petty quarrel would push them into a long silence. They would stop talking to each other for days together. Nani, sometimes, being irritated told him.

“Be grateful that I gave you two grandsons”. When it came to leaving the house when their daughter’s husband got remarried, Nana was not ready to leave. At that time Nani used very harsh words which might compel him to live. Sometimes, they also had a hot discussion, ‘who would die first’.
