Indeed the promises made to poor are rarely kept. It’s a lewd joke by the upper class with them. People often show them lucrative dreams and promise to fulfill them but do not take them seriously. We always want to do something for the poor children but doing so is a difficult task to work on. Similar was the case with author Anees Jung making a false promise of constructing a school for Saheb.

Even though Anees understands the pain of poor children yet when it comes for execution of a plan, it makes all the difference.

Before working at tea stall and before taking home’s responsibility he used to roam streets all day long with friends and he was delighted in that. Steel canister given by owner of tea stall seems much heavier than the plastic bag he used to carry at the time of rag pick and this weight has taken all his freedom and liberty.
