English, asked by Aniketkkk, 1 year ago

Read the passage the carefully.

Asha, a little girl, about 12 years old lived in a big house. She loved looking out of the big window, admiring the sun set and listening to her favourite song “oh ri chori ….” Humming the song, she walked towards the centre of the room in a very rhythmic manner as if trying to march her steps with the beat of the song. She picked up the long round pillow from the baithak and held it in her hands as if holding someone in a ball dance and took a round to match the music beats. Still humming the tune she picked up the Harry Potter book from the table and danced towards the bookshelf under the music system. “My heart, it speaks a thousands words I feel eternal bliss….” It was her favourite part of the song. She tried to lip sync the words, but missed a few and mispronounced many, but that did not stop her from trying till the last English word was snug. Her thoughts were soon interrupted with the sound of the door bell. As a reflex action she turned off the music, hustle took over the rhythm that enchanted this room a moment ago. Her little bare feet rushed towards the door. With no sign of the rhythm, she looked through the key hole of the antique wooden door and opened the door with a broad welcome smile. Mrs. Khanna had brought some grocery items for the dinner party the next day. Without any exchange of words Asha grabbed the grocery bags from her big hands. Mrs. Khanna entered the room with a sigh of relief and looked around the room as if feeling proud of her sense of décor. “Asha zara ek cup chai toh pila de” she said without even looking at the little girl who was carrying the heavy bags in the kitchen door and retuned with a glass of chilled water for her Mistress.
