Question

Is saheb happy working at a tea stall

Answer 1

Saheb is not really happy working at the tea-stall because working for a master meant sacrificing his freedom and his “carefree look”. Even though the job at the tea-stall pays him 800 rupees and all his meals, he seems less contented than before. The weight of his master’s steel canister seems heavier than his rag-picking plastic bag.

Answer 2

Hey !!

Saheb did not show the carefree look of the old days not did he seem to be happy at the tea-stall even though he got 800 rupees plus all his meals. The reason was quite simple. Now Saheb feels bound and burdened. He holds a steel can which seems heavier than the plastic bag he would carry so lightly on his young shoulder earlier, the dirty bag was his but now the can belongs to the owner of the tea shop. Saheb is no longer his own master.

Good luck !!
