The story, "How I Taught My Grandmother To Read", talks about a girl who stayed with her grandparents in Karnataka. The girl used to read the story to her grandmother every week, as her grandmother didn't know how to read or write. One day, the girl left the house to attend a marriage somewhere else. The magazine arrived while the girl was gone and the grandmother, unable to read the content, rubbed her hands on the pictures, feeling hopeless and dependent on her granddaughter. Once the girl came back, her grandmother insisted the her granddaughter to teach her how to read and write. Within a very short period of time, the grandmother was successful and able to read and write. Her greatest sense of satisfaction began when she started reading the novel of the story Kashi Yatre on her own.

How the story' how i taught my grandmother to read' in a dialog manner?

17th April 2012 Today, I am very elated by my present situation. It is a turning point in my life. I have, at last, learnt the Kannada alphabet. My joy knows no bounds. I am overwhelmed by the unexpected action of my granddaughter. I was choked with emotions when she gifted me a copy of Kashi Yatre-something I always wanted to read on my own. What touches me deeply is not the gift but her love for me. I will never be able to return the favour offered by my teacher who showed immense patience and maturity and helped bring about this new day in my life when I can enjoy reading a book on my own.
