7. literally means ‘a stone that can bear
weight’ here it is ‘a large flat stone
placed horizontally over two vertical
ones, thus making a stone bench on
which anyone could sit and rest a
while, chat with a fellow traveller and
exchange news of the road.’

8. a symbol of people who are
ready to give rest to the
burdens (worries) of others by
listening to them.

11. Whenever the writer sees a horegallu, she remembers two
persons who were true horegallus. She tells the story of a
banyan tree in a remote village in Karnataka that gives
shelter to travellers under its shade, and of the man who
sits on a stone bench under the tree and lets passers-by
share the seat and their troubles with him, acting as a
counsellor to them, letting them unburden their worries on
him for a while.

12. Characterised by simplicity,
minute observation, and
wide knowledge of human
behaviour.
