What change do you find in Saheb’s life when he stops rag–picking and starts working at a tea–stall?

Saheb’s full name is ‘Saheb–e–Alam’ which means ‘Lord of the Universe’, but he is unaware of it and roams around with his friends doing rag–picking. One morning, the writer finds out that Saheb has got a job at a tea–stall. He got eight hundred rupees and all his meals, but he was not happy. He was carrying a steel canister which was heavier than the plastic bag he used to carry earlier. Saheb felt burdened, as he was no longer his own master. The canister belonged to the tea–stall owner, whereas the plastic bags were his own. His face had lost his earlier carefree look, for he had lost his freedom.
