The author shares a lot of information about the bakers in his hometown when he was young. He appears to be a very observant child. Should children have such keen observation powers?
Chapter: A Baker from Goa (Glimpses of India)

Dear studnet,

The author does share a lot of information about bakers in Goa and their important role in other poeple's lives. He describes their dress, the different kinds of breads they bake, the way they peddle their goods. It would be beneficial for children to have such keen observation powers as they could learn a lot about their society and the people in it. They could observe the cultures and traditions of a place, imbibe good values being displayed by people around them. They could also make a note of the injustices happening around them, so that they could help rectify them in the future.

Regards
