How is Mukesh different from other boys of his age ? (Lost Spring)
Show Hint
Highlight Mukesh’s dreams and aspirations. Contrast his desire to become a motor mechanic with the lack of ambition among other boys who passively accept their fate.
Mukesh’s dream of becoming a motor mechanic is compared to a mirage because it seems unrealistic in the context of his family’s poverty and the socio-economic conditions of Firozabad. Despite his determination, societal constraints make his aspirations appear unattainable.
