diary entry of Hari(When he is in Bombay)

Dear dairy,
Today when i reached finally reached Bombay, my jaw dropped when I saw the amount of traffic and what Bombay looked like. When we reached Kala Ghoda, we were addressed by a man called Sayyid Ali who informs us about the side effects of a factory coming to Rewas. I was surprised that the man was able to read my mind and know so much about the lives of people in Thul even thought he was a city-man. I was stunned that a coconut in Bombay could actually cost as much as 2 rupees where in Thul I could just climb up a coconut tree and get one. I was disappointed that the De Silvas had gone to Thul after all the trouble I had gone through to get here.Fortunately, the watchman of the building, Hira Lal took me to a man called Jagu who could provide me with a meal and shelter.
