1. Handling brushes was no problem for Manjula. Then what was the real problem

in learning painting?

The story talks about a girl named Manjular Parelkar. She has a dream to one day become a very good painter just like Hussain.

Manjular fingers were not properly shaped in the right form, they were claw-like in shape but this did not stop Manjular from painting as she has figured out a way to firmly hold her paint brush just like the way she is able to hold her pencil when writing.

The real problem that Manjular encountered in learning painting was the cost of the materials as she does not have enough money to buy her colours, brushes and paint papers.
