Describe, in detail, how Rama's business was finished.
Rama's business was finished not only for one reason but due to a series of events. firstly, he had to move his stall two hundred yards away because the original spot was given to a party for construction of a memorial. Now the place, where he was moved, could not attract many customers. In addition, new shop with same good at lower prices than him was opened nearby which further lesser down Rama's customers.
Moreover, Rama's health started to decline, and he lost his energy and excitement for the business. He became crippled and begun ignoring his stall, bringing about unfortunate support and lower down the quality of his goods. Thus, resulted in reduction of his customer base. The customers started to move away gradually, some chose the shop which was nearer to their houses. The demand for his shop and the goods were less and the customers who were coming after all were not enough for Rama to continue with his business.
To summarise, we can say that a series of events have contributed in finishing Rama's business. Like, the relocation of his stall, competition from a nearby shop, his declining health, and the gradual loss of his customer base etc.
