Affectation and Make-Belief World in Manohar Malgonkar's Upper Division Love

The aim of the paper is to create awareness in the mind of young men and young 
women. They must keep aesthetic distance from the celluloid world. Watching Test
matches is a time consuming activity. Watching film is a time consuming activity.
Adoring any heroine is a foolish act. It is the duty of any fan to appreciate the
attitude of the heroine as well as the hero. They have no right to cross the limits.
Film world has a long history. The attitude of the layman is not at all changed.
They have an infatuation with any actresses. They fail to discern the artificiality of
the celluloid world. Manohar Malgonkar has depicted the activities of the lower
division clerk in a very shrewd manner. This issue has a contemporary relevance.
It is an everlasting issue it touches the raw nerve of the readers. The lower division
clerk behaves in a very childish manner. He has no maturity and responsibility.
His life is a fruitful lesson to all young men and young women. Imaginary world or
‘Make Belief’ world is a key issue.  “a delicate skirting of the common life of India.” 
So the writer has scrutinized this burning issue in a detailed manner. The protagonist
of this story does not learn any useful lesson from his bitter experiences. He has
undergone untold suffering in the hands of Ramakant and Sunderbala. He finds it
very difficult to alter his attitude. He cannot help adoring another actress named
Shilamati. The indirect message of the story is “old habit dies hard”.
