After some time, Putul can persuade Laxmi that things require evolving. Laxmi however still not persuaded enough to take it up as her own motivation, chooses to remain by Putul because of a grouping of certain occasions that happen in the city.

How far would they say they are ready to go in this undertaking? How tall is their new association ready to develop before it turns out to be too enormous a risk for man centric society to give it a chance to exist? It is safe to say that they are ready to roll out an improvement that is perpetual or another tiny blip on the radar?

Does Laxmi, who at first just stands behind Putul's motivation, take this up as her own motivation soon enough, understanding that ladies of the world are sisters in what they experience and their capacity lies in realizing that?

Or on the other hand do they rise just to at last be overwhelmed by a claustrophobic man's reality? [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
