About halfway through the story Hari is taken by the doorman to a restaurant where he can get food and shelter for the night in Bombay. The kind man, Jagu, gives him a job in this restaurant, but not before Hari witnesses the kind of place that he is in and it was "the meanest and shabbiest restaurant hari had ever seen." The restaurant has obviously never been cleaned and is therefore possibly the cheapest restaurant in the whole of Bombay "even in Thul and along the Alibagh-Rewas highway there were cafes that were pleasanter." So when Hari begins his new and first proper job, he is unable get enough rest as he finds it near impossible to sleep "in the eating house with its fiery heat and stale smell and stuffy air." Jagu has provided him with "one rupee a day, like the other boys" also he could work for his meals and this is what starts Haris new found motivation and determination to obtain his earnings and save them up for his family. Hari is so determined to earn all this money that he vows never to spends anything during his entire stay there, seeing as Jagu provides him with ever meal. Hari pleases Jagu so that Jagu will not fire him and he is silently impressed by Haris full commitment from day one. This was an experience of battling for what he wanted and making sure he never gave up despite the fact that the Sri Krishna Eating House was basically unbearable (especially in the monsoon season). Hari remained commited, determined and motivated throughtout this experience and had grown up as a man because of it. He understood what was important for him to focus on and pushed forward for his families sake.
