A poor child falls in the net of the rich before he is aware of it. Doing anything other than what his generations have been doing' needs courage. But Mukesh dreams of becoming a motor mechanic. He seems courageous enough to break away the cycle of work his family has been doing for generations. When the author senses a flash of courage in Mukesh, she gets elated.
