The criss cross of light rays and moving shadows suited the astrologer very well its reason
Answers
Answer:
It was a bewildering criss-cross of light rays and moving shadows. Guru Nayak, the astrologer's nemesis, does not recognize him, but the astrologer recognizes Guru Nayak. The astrologer sent a prayer to heaven as the other lit a cheroot. The astrologer caught a glimpse of his face by the matchlight.
The above line is from An Astrologer's Day by R. K. Narayan.
The astrologer was an expert at reading people's minds. He used certain shrewd ways to create an effect that would attract common people. From applying a mixture of vermillion to ash on his face to working near a peanut vendor stall to get more crowd, the astrologer left no stones unturned to get attract a large crowd.
He intentionally chose to sit in a shady place, with low intensity of light. The low light crisscrossed that area and created the perfect environment for the astrologer. The mysterious form of lighting done by nature suited the astrologer and more people would get attracted to him.
Hence, the criss-cross of light rays and moving shadows suited the astrologer very well.
