Leela’s Friend Notes
1. Who was Sidda? How was he treated in the house of the Sivasankers?
Ans: In the story “Leela’s Friend” by R.K. Narayan, Sidda was the servant in Mr. Sivasanker’s house.
In spite of being responsible, good-natured and a man of immaculate character, Sidda was badly treated by Mr. and Mrs. Sivasanker. Mrs. Sivasanker abused him without any reliable reason. Although he was innocent and good, he had to tolerate insult. Though he did not steal the chain, the inspector called him a devil. Mrs. Sivasanker also called him a thief. He was sacked from his job without any valid reason. In this way Sidda got injustice. The rich may do injustice to him, the law may treat him unjustly, but he would live forever being an embodiment of humanity in the minds of the grief-stricken readers.

2. “Day by day she clung closer to Sidda” -How did Leela cling closer to Sidda day by day?
Ans: Leela’s attachment (সংযুক্তি বা টান) for Sidda increased (বৃদ্ধি পেল) day by day because she got everything she desired (চাইত) from Sidda. Leela liked to play the teacher to Sidda and Sidda agreed to be her obedient (অনুগত) student. She insisted (জেদ করত) on his learning a few letters and Sidda underwent the drudgery (পরিশ্রম) of learning. When he felt such pressure (চাপ) unbearable (অসহ্য), he diverted (বিমুখ করত) her attention (মনযোগ). He would say to her that her mother was calling her. Leela failed to understand his trick (কৌশল). She was, however, very happy to be with Sidda. Even she was lulled to sleep (ঘুম পাড়ানো হতো) by the fantastic (চমৎকার) and surprising (বিস্ময়কর) stories of Sidda. Thus, she clung closer to Sidda day by day. She accompanied (সঙ্গ দিত) him when he was chopping wood or tending (পরিচর্যা করা) the garden. She was also with him when he was sent on errands. She was so happy with him that she always wanted his company for all her waking hours.
3. “Sidda was hanging about the gate. Mr. Sivasanker was uñable to up his mind.” And that decided it.” – What was Mr. Sivasanker doing then Why was Mr. Sivasanker unable to make up his mind? What decided the employment of Sidda? (2+2+1)
In the beautiful story “Leela’s Friend” by R.K. Narayan, Mr. Sivasanker, Leela’s father, was then standing on the front veranda of his house. He was thinking deeply about employing a servant who would look after Leela and do some other duties in their house.
Mr. Sivasanker subjected Sidda to scrutiny. He wanted to know about his previous experience of work. He answered but vaguely about his previous master’s address. Mr. Sivasanker was not fully satisfied with the answer. So, he was perhaps in a little bit of doubt. That is why he was unable to take a decision.
At the very first sight, Leela liked Sidda. She told her father not to send Sidda away. She insisted on keeping him in their house. This insist of Leela decided it i.e. the employment of Sidda.

4. How did Leela try to make Sidda write? What was the result?
Ans: In the short story “Leela’s Friend” by RK Narayan, Leela took a class for Sidda at dusk. She herself played the role of a teacher and Sidda was her student. Leela made Sidda squat on the floor with a pencil between his fingers and a catalogue in front of him. She took another pencil and a catalogue and ordered Sidda to copy whatever she had written in the pages of a catalogue. But Sidda totally failed. He could not copy even remotely. So she rebuked him and then also pitied him.
Ultimately she redoubled her efforts to teach Sidda till his inflexible wrist cracked. Sidda sought relief by saying that her mother was calling her in to dinner. Thus the school hour would end.
5. How was Leela’s gold chain lost? Who was primarily blamed for the loss?
Ans: Leela was the five-year-old daughter of Mr. Sivanker in the story “Leela’s Friend” by RK Narayan. She had a strong emotional bondage with Sidda the servant in their house. All her waking hours, she wanted to have Sidda’s company. One evening he went out to buy sugar and Leela went with him. When they came home, Leela’s mother noticed that the gold chain which Leela had been wearing was missing. Leela’s mother asked her about the chain. But Leela answered that she did not know. Leela’s mother also asked Sidda about the chain. but he also answered that he did not know.
Sidda, the innocent servant in the house of Mr. Sivanker was primarily blamed for the loss of the gold chain.
6. “And that decided it” – What was the decision? Who took it? Why was ‘that’ important for taking the decision?
The decision was to keep Sidda as a servant in Mr. Sivasanker’s family.
The decision was taken jointly by Mr. Sivasanker and his wife. Their little daughter Leela put the final seal on it.
As Sidda was a complete stranger to Mr. and Mrs. Sivasanker, they were taking time to reach a final decision. Their little daughter Leela saw Sidda and recommended him in her own way. Then her parents accepted it. Thus, Leela’s recommendation was very important for taking the decision.
7. “Her mind was disturbed.” – Whose mind is referred to here? Why was her mind disturbed?
Ans: In the story “Leela’s Friend”, Mrs. Sivasanker’s mind is referred to.
When Leela’s mother found that Leela’s gold chain had been lost, she interrogated Sidda. But Sidda disappeared unexpectedly. Mrs. Sivasanker thought that Sidda had stolen the gold chain. She shivered thinking that they had trusted a criminal like Sidda in their house. She also thought that he might have killed her daughter for the chain. Every corner of the house is known to Sidda. He might come in at night and robe everything. Such thoughts made her mind disturbed.
