The title of the chapter 'Lost Spring' is a metaphor used for loss of childhood of millions of child-laborers in India. Spring is symbolic of joy, happiness, beauty, and hope. Childhood can be called the spring of a man's life. However, children like Saheb-e-alam and Mukesh have no spring in their life because of the poverty they have been born into. Since they don't enjoy the privileges of childhood that the children of affluent families enjoy, the author considers these children whose spring (childhood) has been lost.
The author had gone to YMCA pool to learn swimming to overcome his childhood fear. However, a mishap happened that further deepened his fear. The narrator was sitting alone on the edge of the pool; a big muscular boy came and threw him into the pool. Douglas did not know swimming; he almost drowned. If the muscular boy had not saved him, Douglas could have drowned.
The drowning incident at the pool had many short and long-term consequences on Douglas. The short-term consequences such as weakness, trembling, sickness, haunting fear of water, etc.
It is true that Dr. Sadao played both the roles successfully. He was a great doctor as well as a patriot. As a doctor he did justice to his profession by adhering to the Hippocratic Oath. He saved a very young life; he was basically a kind man. Kindness is the quality of great souls.
Dr. Sadao also did his duty to the nation by informing General Takima about the American soldier. The General forgot to take action. However, if he had taken action, he would have got him assassinated. Dr. Sadao could no longer wait for the General’s assassins because he did not like the idea of killing someone. Finally, he helped the soldier escape by providing him with a boat and other provisions.
