Best answer

• Everyone has the right to dream-even Mukesh in spite of the challenges of his life

• But his dream is like a mirage

• Mukesh belonged to marginalized family

• disliked the profession of bangle making

• wanted to become a motor mechanic

• he lives in such poor conditions that it is impossible for him to learn to drive a car

• Bound by the tradition family of working in the bangle industry

• working for years in those bangle making mills will make him *****.

• Not equipped to break out of the vicious circle of politicians middlemen etc

• so the dream is compared to a mirage/hallucination
