Question

how did patol Babu earn his living through these year

Answer 1

He paid regular visits to various offices for jobs.

Answer 2

Patol Babu’s life was quite smooth, financially particularly until he was sacked in 1943. Since then Patol Babu had to struggle to make living. At first he opened a variety store which he had to wind up after five years. Then he had a job in a Bengali firm which he gave up in disgust when his boss began to treat him in too high-handed a fashion. Then, for ten long years, starting as an insurance salesman, Patol Babu tried every means of earning a livelihood without ever succeeding in improving his lot. Of late he had been paying regular visits to a small establishment dealing in scrap iron where a cousin of his had promised him a job.
