Baba was not the type to open up to his son, he felt that
it was somehow not appropriate and that his son needed to grow up tough and strong like
him and strong people did not sit around and talk about their
feelings.
So Amir learned to accept this and found that he
was often learning about his father through the stories of others. He heard a lot from
Rahim Kahn, his father's best friend, and in some ways this helped him to feel that he
was getting to know Baba despite the fact that Baba never shared much with
him.
He also felt that every occasion that was supposed to
be a celebration for him always ended up being a chance for Baba's many friends and
admirers to come over, but by watching and talking with them sometimes he would get more
about Baba than he was willing to share directly.
