Question

Before mental satisfaction and work done honestly with single minded dedication, compensation takes a back seat. How doesSatyajit Ray depict this lofty idea in his story PatolBabu, Film Star? Write your answer in about 120-150 words.

Answer 1

It is absolutely true that mental satisfaction and work done honestly with single minded dedication are more important than monetary gains or any other compensation. Satyajit Ray has beautifully portrayed that a job well done is far more satisfying than the monetary gain we receive for the job through the character of Patol Babu. Patol Babu left the shooting site without collecting his payment because he was intensely satisfied with the small role had had played with dedication. He felt, that his Guru and mentor, Mr. Gogon Pakrashi would surely have felt pleased with his performance. This thought was much more rewarding than the petty money he had to receive from Naresh Dutt. So without bothering to be paid, he went away with pure satisfaction in his heart.
