Give reasons for the following.
Satyajit’s recollection of the forgerer when he was on the train.
Advertisements
उत्तर
He was contemplating how the wheel of fortune keeps turning and never favours the same person. He thought about the forgerer because he knew one thing for sure. If luck leads to the attainment of success before one might expect failure would strike faster. If success would come fast, the downfall would be faster. Ironically, although catching the forgerer paved his way towards glory, promotion, and prosperity, he had all regrets for the man. The thought that came to his mind was the fact that he could have given the forgerer a chance to live. The moment in his life was ironic because it was he who needed a second chance to make a living, now that he had lost everything.
