9) How does the writer say that promises like hers abound in every corner of his
bleak world. What can be done to help others like him?
Ans:- For some education is an obligation, for others,it's a necessity. For slum children
like Saheb it's a privilege.
The people living in the slums lead a miserable life in unsanitary conditions and always
are poverty stricken. They cannot afford education; the only thing matters to them is
survival. Saheb says that ‘when they build one (school) I will go’. This proves that they
have been promises a better life with better opportunities on many occasions. The slum
children have promised education for a better future. A hope to escape their deplorable
condition. However, not much has materialized for slum people. Especially the children.
 Garbage was and still is a means of their livelihood and it's no less than gold. That is
why Anees Jung says that promises, which were not really meant, are just too many to
count and are a part really meant, are just too many to count and are a part of the bleak
world to which Saheb belongs.
Underprivileged children are most interested and are more interested in learning.
However, there are also children like Saheb who want to study. Each day I would devote
an hour to teach the underprivileged children of the locality and I would also request by
peers to denote their old books, note books, school bags etc. I would also request my
principal, teachers and fellow students to form a Special teaching group to take special
classes on every Sunday for the slum children.
