Answer the following briefly.

What events led to Varmaji's wishing to be left alone?

Old Bhatia, Varmaji’s neighbour, was luckier than him in several aspects. He was still very active and lively. He didn’t need his children’s support to bathe and was in all position to have a bath outside the tiled bathroom indoors. Like he always did, old Bhatia carried his brass mug and towel, in all seasons and usually at impossible hours, into the yard and bathed noisily under the garden tap. He had a way with his style and there was no one to give him directions. Unfortunately, Varmaji had been denied all these rights and freedom. He felt jealous of Mr. Bhatia, especially when he saw the other man looked over the hedge to see if Varma were out on his verandah and call to him and talk while he wrapped his dhoti about him and dried the sparse hair on his head. Even the sight of Mr. Bhatia shivering with enjoyable exaggeration hurt Mr. Varma and it reminded him of his lost freedom.
