Question

Why did Mani think that Rajam was his rival?

Answer 1

Mani thought that Rajam was his rival because if Mani jabbed, Rajam jabbed; if Mani clouted, he clouted; if Mani kicked, he kicked. If Mani was the overload of the class, Rajam seemed to be nothing less. He always assumed a certain nonchalance from Rajam to which he was not accustomed.
