Q&A Slumdog millionaire blog #12 X GKRZ OPKNU (or a love story)

     In this chapter GKRZ OPKNU (or a love story) Ram talks about his story where he stays in Agra for a year. At first he didn't have any money after losing fifty thousand rupees from the train, so he decides to pick pocket out of the garbage for left over food. Then he see's an entrance to the Taj Mahal (mausoleum in Agra) and finds out that there are tourists there from foreign countries such as people from Japan. When the Guide man talks about how the Taj Mahal was built and the stories of how it was made, Ram listens carefully. So the japanese tourists asks him a few questions and he guides the japanese man and he gains fifty rupees from that. When he's on the streets with no food, he meets up with another homeless boy who's named Shankar, but has speech defects and can only speak in random syllables. Shankar showed Ram to a marble mansion and inside the mansion was a Madam who was very rich and offered Ram to stay in one of the outhouses for four hundred rupees per week. Ram said yes to the Madam because he knew that being a guide to other tourists in Taj Mahal could be a great benefit for the rent. Ram falls in love with a prostitute named Nita but as time went on, he found out that Shankar had developed human rabies because he was bit by a wild dog and the only way to save him was to get four hundred thousand rupees for the vaccine called RabCure. Although, no one lent him the money and he was left to die in sorrow. Then eventually, Nita was sent to a palace and was beaten and the only way her Brother would let Nita marry Ram was if he got four hundred thousand rupees and he did. But instead he gave it to a man who also needed the money for the vaccine for his child because he found out that there was a show called Who wants to be a billionaire in Mumbai. Smita turns on the TV and the show continues. Prem Kumar asks Ram the eleventh question: which one if Shakespeare's plays is there a character called Costard? Is it a) King Lear, b) the Merchant of Venice, c) Love's Labour's Lost or d) Othello? he decides to take a leap of fate and calls the man who he helped saved his son's life from Agra and asks him the question. Ram then answers with c) and wins one hundred million rupees.
