from previous--

in the  red  brick  shabby  cottage  by the  graveyard  lived  an eighty year  old  woman  who  looked  youthful  for  her  age, in the back yard stood  a  old  neem tree  , the  roots  of  it   spread  in the  direction of  the  graveyard  across the  wall, half  of  the  shade  fell in the  cottage  , half  of  it  on the  graveyard, also drunken  voices  of  the  drug  addicts  were  heard  who  sat  there  in the  cemetery, using the  burial  grounds  as  their  haven
