Give reasons for the following.
Srinath’s disappointment with Satyajit.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Srinath had extremely high and sure-to-be-fulfilled expectations from Satyajit. Thus, when he confessed that he was present in front of him with his begging bowl and needed Rs. 2001/- to give the in-laws as dowry, he was very much sure that he would get the money. He didn't worry much because he thought that a millionaire like Satyajit would obviously be carrying this meager amount with him. He was extremely disappointed and put down by the fact that Satyajit wasn't able to lend him the required amount of money.
