Solution and Explanation
Hari Singh’s observation about Anil having irregular income and Anil’s statement about his sale of a book to a publisher indicates that he is a struggling writer. He lives life according to the amount of money he gets at a given time. When he has the money he enjoys eating out with his friends. When he is having less money then he even doesn't pay salary to Hari Singh. This shows that he easily makes adjustments in his life without letting anything disturb him.

Top Questions on The Thief’s Story
- Do you think people like Anil and Hari Singh are found only in fiction, or are there such people in real life?
- What are Hari Singh’s reactions to the prospect of receiving an education? Do they change over time? (Hint: Compare, for example, the thought: “I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve” with these later thoughts: “Whole sentences, I knew, could one day bring me more than a few hundred rupees. It was a simple matter to steal — and sometimes just as simple to be caught. But to be a really big man, a clever and respected man, was something else.”) What makes him return to Anil?
- Why does not Anil hand the thief over to the police? Do you think most people would have done so? In what ways is Anil different from such employers?
