Comment on the way in which the theme of the story has been introduced.

उत्तर
One may find the introduction too abstract and may wonder what the story holds. In the beginning, it seems that it might be an essay on how Indians take pride in their style of mustaches. It is only later the reader realises the significance of the introduction. The author wisely served the reader with a detailed description of the object around which the whole story will revolve. How men rise and fall by altering and sticking to their status symbols, such as moustachios.
