Few planes fly over Firozabad what is irony in this statement
Answers
This expression from the chapter ‘Lost Spring’ by Anees Jung means Firozabad is economically a backward city. There is no airport there. So Mukesh can’t think of becoming a pilot. He is satisfied with the ambition of becoming a car-mechanic only.
This question is based on the chapter 'Lost Spring' by Anees Jung.
Firozabad is a city known for its traditional occupation of bangle making and most of the people living here are poor bangle makers who are stuck in the vicious circle of poverty and politics.
Mukesh is the son of a poor bangle maker who dreams of becoming a motor mechanic some day. However, even this dream seems beyond his reach as he has to cover long distances on foot to learn the craft. He is practical and does not want to become a pilot as it is way beyond his reach. The city does not have an airport nearby and so, few planes fly over it. This shows the unattainability of the dream of the becoming a pilot for children of bangle makers.
