why has ali s journey to the post office being described as a pilgrimage?

answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Coachman Ali realises the meaning of love and belongingness after his daughter Miriam leaves for her husband’s house after marriage. With nothing to live for, Ali’s pivot* of existence becomes his daughter’s letters which never arrive.

Pilgrims often bear inclement* weather conditions and risk their lives to visit places of worship. Their faith provides them the fortitude* to brave every obstacle that comes their way. All they want is for their prayers to be answered.  Much like these pilgrims, Ali braves cold winds in his tattered clothing and plods towards the post office every morning. His only wish is to find a letter from his daughter. His sincerity is akin* to that of a pilgrim; hence his journey is nothing short of a pilgrimage.

Pivot –The main point/ The center/ The main reason

Inclement- Unmerciful

Fortitude- Strength

Akin- Similar to

How important is hybrid remote learning for 10th standard students? Hello everyone, As we continue to navigate the pandemic, many schools have adopted [url=https://lanschool.com/distance-and-hybrid-learning-resources/]hybrid remote learning[/url] as a way to keep students safe while still providing quality education. I am curious to know your thoughts on how important hybrid remote learning is for 10th standard students. Some benefits of hybrid learning include accessibility to students and teachers, on a local and global level, and the ability to continue education during times when in-person learning is not possible. However, there are also concerns about the effectiveness of remote learning and the need for in-person interaction for social and emotional development. What are your opinions on hybrid remote learning for 10th standard students? Do you think it is important for their education and development, or do you believe in-person learning is necessary? Please share your thoughts and experiences.
