Solution and Explanation
Hari Singh’s observation about Anil having irregular income and Anil’s statement about his sale of a book to a publisher indicates that he is a struggling writer. He lives life according to the amount of money he gets at a given time. When he has the money he enjoys eating out with his friends. When he is having less money then he even doesn't pay salary to Hari Singh. This shows that he easily makes adjustments in his life without letting anything disturb him.
