Answer 1:

Journeys are a great addition to our experience of life. Valli’s journey to city added to her vision of life. This is true as far as Valli's entire experience of bus journey is concerned. She was a carefree, bubbly person at the beginning of her journey. Her aim and planning for this trip in the bus is noteworthy. However, she was enlightened about the real crude face of life on her way back. She witnessed the sight of death of a young cow. She was awestruck on the fact of how something that was alive a few moments back could lie dead in so much blood just after a while. Something which seemed charming when alive looked so horrible when lifeless. Thus, she learnt that there were so many things that happened in life beyond our knowledge.
