Describe the character sketch of Mukesh?

Mukesh is a young boy born into a family of bangle makers in Firozabad, an area famous for bangles. All his family and all his neighbours were in the same business and he has never known any thing else. His grandmother believes that making bangles is the 'karam' or destiny of their family. However, daring to dream beyond his situation, Mukesh wants to be a motor mechanic. For that, he is willing to walk to the garage distant from his house and learn the trade. When the narrator asks him if he wants to fly a plane, he is embarrassed. But his age and innocence allows for it to remain an embarrassment, without turning into a regret.
