You are here
Loyal
Defends his mother to Grandpa and Grandpa to his mother; tries to keep both happy without betraying either.
Caring
Follows Grandpa to keep him safe; is overcome with relief and affection when he finds him sleeping at home.
Impulsive
Jumps onto a moving bus without checking; assumes the yellow cap belongs to Grandpa without verifying.
Growing Up
By the end, Ravi has learned to look beyond surface appearances - the twinkle forces him to question his assumptions.
Sense of Humour
Even in embarrassment (crawling out of the park), Ravi's situation is comic rather than tragic - the author keeps him sympathetic.
Exam-Ready Summary:
Ravi is the story's observer and comic victim. He is fundamentally good-hearted but still learning. His journey in one day teaches him that the person he thought needed protecting was the most capable person in the story. For board questions, focus on: his dilemma (loyalty to mother vs Grandpa), his comic failures, and his emotional response when finding Grandpa safe.
