ll.2-3 > “ I didn’t know what I was supposed to do but, in any case, just to have got there seemed to be enough.”
ll.12.. > I likes listening to them, just as I liked sitting here with my friends in the middle of this festive scene. I felt part of it all, absorbed as I had been absorbed by the war-shipping crowd packed into the shrine.”
l. 20..> “… perhabs I too had thoughts other than usual.”
Conclusion:
The narrator gets the feeling of belonging to India and to the Indian. As well the visit causes spiritual thoughts and happiness. She thinks it was really the right thing to do, which is a fairly special feeling.
