In this story, I found many interesting "Grammatical Errors". Most significant one was capitalization. I'm pretty sure that there is a reason for that but it is really hard to figure out the purpose. "For a Breath of Fresh Air. To Pay for the Milk. To Let Out a Trapped Wasp."(pg.29) This was from the paragraph which the narrator explained Baby Kochamma's specific purposes of her window. I'm not sure but I think the author used it to emphasize the weirdness of Baby Kochamma's action.

I feel the same, since its the book that's been published, it should have certain meaning. This error seems to have a meaning but it's really hard to figure it out. Maybe it is written that way to show its wierdness of Baby Kochama after reading your post.
