Answer:
Both Shravan and Narendra are 13 years old. While Narendra goes to school Shravan does not go to school. In contrast to Narendra, Shravan is an orphan. Because of abject poverty, Shravan was forced to migrate to Delhi. Narendra is living in Delhi because of good financial condition of his family.
Sharvan spends most of his day doing menial jobs. In contrast to this, Narendra spends most of his day at his school. Shravan is fond of watching movies. However, Narendra is fond of painting. Shravan’s dream is to get back his mortgaged land in the village. On the other hand, Narendra’s dream is to become a police officer. Given Shravan’s determination there are chances that he may be able to regain the lost family pride. Narendra’s good education and family background may enable him to fulfil his dream.
