Saheb is not truly happy working at the tea stall. Although he has a job that provides some stability, he feels trapped in a monotonous routine, replacing his earlier freedom of scavenging. His dreams of a better life seem distant as he faces the reality of long hours and meager wages, reflecting a loss of hope and childhood joy.
This question related to Chapter: 2 English Class 12th NCERT.
From the chapter Lost Spring.
Give answer according to your understanding.
Saheb was certainly not happy with his tea stall job because now his freedom was gone. A man is a servant in job; he has to obey his employer or master. And he was no longer the master of his work and his thoughts. As long as he was a rag picker, he had time and freedom for everything. 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.
