The title Lost Spring is quite ironical. Spring is supposed to be the best season of the year full of colour fragrance and youth. The childhood of human being is also compared with spring as it is beginning of human life which has tremendous scope for growth and happiness. Ironically thousands of children like Saheb and Mukesh experience no spring as their childhood is spent in trrying to make a living and so they are deprived of all the pleasures that childhood brings. Hence the aptness of the title.
