   Gifted Student's Paragraph

  Prose : THE ATTIC

  Author : Satyajit Ray

  Theme : Man does change with time

  Aditya and the narrator went to visit Aditya’s village after twenty nine years. They went to Nagen uncle’s  tea shop. They met Sasanka Sanyal there. On seeing them, Sanyal began to recite the poem ‘Panraksha’ by Tagore. Aditya inquired Nagen about Sanyal. He could recognise that the man was Sanyal who he had deceived a long time ago. So there was a sudden change in his expression. He felt his guilt. Now he wanted to prove that he was not the same as he had been earlier. He said to Sanyal that man changes with time. Aditya too changed and realized his mistake. So he gave Sanyal the cost of the medal one hundred and fifty rupees. As Sanyal refused, Aditya handed over the silver medal to himand proved that he has changed with time.
