The encounter with Ghulamu Chacha and the youngsters primarily takes place on the road.

Throughout the passage, Ghulamu Chacha faces various challenges, including financial struggles and aging-related issues. Despite these difficulties, one aspect of his life remains consistent: the teasing he receives from the youngsters in the neighborhood (അയാൾക്ക് ലഭിക്കുന്ന കളിയാക്കലുകൾ). This teasing becomes almost a routine occurrence for him. Despite initially reacting strongly to the teasing, he eventually becomes accustomed to it and responds with wit and liveliness. Thus, the teasing from the people in the neighborhood serves as a constant element in Ghulamu Chacha's life, providing him with a source of interaction and engagement amidst his challenges.

The ultimate result of the cracking of jokes was that Ghulamu Chacha got used to them.

Chacha reacted to the teasing remarks by verbally abusing the people who teased him (അസഭ്യം പറഞ്ഞാണ് ചാച്ച കളിയാക്കലുകളോട് പ്രതികരിച്ചത്). Instead of ignoring or retiring from the scene, he responded with forceful and lively retorts.

The passage describes how the youngsters in the tea shop would bestir themselves in excitement upon seeing Ghulamu Chacha arrive. They anticipated the ensuing fun and teasing remarks that would occur when Ghulamu Chacha interacted with them (ഗുലാമു ചാച്ച അവരുമായി ഇടപഴകുമ്പോൾ സംഭവിക്കുന്ന തമാശകളും കളിയാക്കലുകളും അവർ മുൻകൂട്ടി കണ്ടു). Therefore, it was the expectation of the exchange of fun and teasing remarks that made the youngsters excited.
