SECTION – A (Reading
Comprehension)
Q. (1-7) Read the following passage.
The
house was not electrified; it was a small rented room. I had just set up
medical practice and my earnings were meagre. I had about sixty rupees in my
suitcase. Along with some shirts and dhotis, I also possessed one
solitary black coat which I was then wearing.
I
took off my black coat, white shirt and not-so-white vest and hung them up. I
opened the two windows in the room. It was an outer room with one wall facing
the open yard. It had a tiled roof with long supporting gables that rested on
the beam over the wall. There was no ceiling. There was a regular traffic of
rats to and from the beam. I made my bed and pulled it close to the wall. I lay
down but I could not sleep. I got up and went out to the veranda for a little
air, but the wind god seemed to have taken time off.
I
went back into the room and sat down on the chair. I opened the box beneath the
table and took out a book, The Materia Medica. I opened it at the table
on which stood the lamp and a large mirror; a small comb lay beside the mirror.
One
feels tempted to look into a mirror when it is near. I took a look. In those
days I was a great admirer of beauty and I believed in making myself look
handsome. I was unmarried and was a doctor. I felt I had to make my presence
felt. I picked up the comb and ran it through my hair and adjusted the parting
so that it looked straight and neat. Again I heard that sound from above.
