Staying in the Chavadi was an immense hardship for Amir Shakkar due to its appalling conditions. Chapter 22 paints a grim picture of the place, describing it as a very old, dilapidated structure where lizards and poisonous scorpions lived freely. The text mentions that lepers also stayed there, garbage was piled up, and there were seventeen knee-deep holes in the ground. The environment was characterized by rain from above, dampness from below, and an uneven floor, creating a chaotic mix of wind and cold that caused Amir's mind to be in turmoil. It was considered a miserable place where even a dog would not stay.
Why was staying in the Chavadi so difficult for Amir? Can you describe what it was like?
