Unit 6: Expert Detectives

Answer: I think Mr Nath is just an ordinary man who is probably not eating well. He might be an introvert which is why he does not have friends and visitors. He might enjoy being alone more than having the company of many others.

He is very lean because he does not take meals properly. He is not even particular about the food he eats. He just needs two chapattis, dal and a vegetable. He consults Nishad’s mother, who is a doctor. This means that he has some ailment. That can be another reason why he prefers to be alone.

He also has scars on his face, making people think he is a crook. But, the scars might be from some accident. The visitor who comes every Sunday might be a family member who ensures that Mr Nath is keeping well.

Answer: I think Nishad and Maya will find out that Mr Nath is a good person and an introvert. They might even get to know that Mr Nath is working from home because he does not keep well. That is the reason he prefers being at home and not having visitors.

They might become friends later, especially Nishad can be a good friend to him because he was in his favour from the beginning. Maya would have regretted to have doubted him to be a criminal.

Answer: Do it yourself.
