Rajiv's father is a very strange man

3rd July event Rajiv's father Lallan Prasad Srivastava - is a very strange man. On 1st July it was his wedding anniversary. Rajiv phoned his mother( who lives in Mumbai and calls up only when she needs money - long story there again) and wished her and then gave the phone to his father and the old couple spoke for quite some time. We could hear the father saying that due to lockdown he can't visit Mumbai else he would come and stay there. Later on Rajiv told me that she specifically told him that there was no need to send him to Mumbai(via phone recording) and the old man's pleads fell on deaf years. Old man was normal on 30th behaving as if nothing had happened. Then he refused to eat breakfast and lunch the next day (2nd July), slept throughout the day and was woken up by Rajiv around 2.30pm. He argued with Rajiv loudly trying to cover up his bad behavior saying that he didn't feel well and so would not eat and has never done this before. (This behavior pattern is repetitive - I have seen it happen many times since 2015. Have tried to explain to him earlier that this habit of skipping meals is not good at his age but...). In the evening he had tea and in the night he almost jumped out of his room to eat dinner as if nothing had ever happened. today morning again, he had no breakfast, just sat reading the newspaper, hile the maid was sweeping.
