Answer» Reference: These lines have been taken from the lesson ‘The Kite Maker’ written by Ruskin Bond. [ N.B. : The above reference will be used for all explanations of this lesson. ] Context : In these lines the writer describes the story of a famous kite maker Mahmood. In his young age the business of kite flying flourished but nowadays nobody takes interest in flying the kites. Explanation : In these lines Mahmood remembers his old time. So, the writer how much interest and pleasure the people took in flying the kites. He further described that not many people bought kites these days. Adults had disdained them and children spent their money for the pictures. The fields were not more for flying kites. Most of the maidans which had stretched from the old fort walls to the river-bank were covered by the people for their residents and farming. |
