A 10 into 8 room chapter explain
Answers
Answer:
This room might be 10’ x 8’ said Mrs.. Malik pointing to a square in the draft plan lying on the table before them. It was the third time that she had made this suggestion. It seemed it didn’t register on either her husband or the architect engaged to design the house.
The Maliks were going to have a house of their own in Delhi. They had purchased a plot in the most fashionable colony of the town sometime ago. Now that they were posted back in Delhi, they thought, they might as well have the house built.
In her heart of hearts Mrs. Malik also decided that after completion of the house, I she would stay back in Delhi even if her husband was transferred to another station. She was sick of their postings. Every other year they were moved to a new place. I Now that the children were grown-up, it was not desirable to shift them from school to school. Mrs. Malik said, if he must, Mrs. Malik could go all alone. She would settle down permanently in Delhi with the children. She would have her mother-in-law for company. Mrs. Malik had no objection to it.
“This room might be 10’ x 8’ Mrs. Malik repeated. Her husband was attending to a telephone call in the adjacent room.
“But this is a store.” The architect explained to Mrs. Malik.
“Yes. But I thought it could be my mother-in-law’s room and after her it might be used as a storeroom.”
The architect didn’t seem to understand. He looked puzzled by Mrs. Malik’s observation.
“I mean………………. my mother-in-law could use the room for the
present…………………….. As you know she is old and infirm………. She isn’t going to be there of……………..and after her it could be converted into a storeroom.” Mrs. Malik explained haltingly.
Mrs. Malik joined them. It seems while talking on the telephone he had also given thought to the suggestion. He too, was of the opinion that the store should be a little I bigger. It is always better to have a commodious storeroom so that one can move I about the trunks more freely. Then it is also more convenient to keep it tidy.
It was decided that the room adjacent to the kitchen should be 10’ x 8’ The courtyard would be a little narrower but that didn’t matter much.
All the rest had already been provided for and the plan was submitted for approval to the corporation. Mrs. Malik took an untiring interest in the construction of The house. She would be seen standing at the site with her umbrella throughout the I day. She supervised every detail. At times she would give a hand to the masons and others. She was the first to arrive at the construction site and left after everyone had gone away. She ensured that there was no wastage of material and the labour did not idle about. Before long the house was completed. Mrs. Malik insisted that she would I have new furniture made for the house; she would not let the old furniture enter the new house, not a piece of it.
