Explanation:

2) He does rag-picking as his profession
3) The author promised that she would build a school and allow Saheb to study. But this was practically impossible and disappointed Saheb when he realized the reality which indicated how shallow the advice sounded.
Answer:
1). Saheb -e- alam
2). Saheb-e-Alam was a rag-picker who lived in Seemapuri. His family had migrated from Dhaka, Bangla Desh to India in 1971 with the hope of finding better life conditions. Every morning he roamed about streets collecting garbage. Many other boys also accompanied him.
