Read the following passage and answer the given subquestions
Sir Mohan Lal looked at himself in the mirror of a first-class waiting room at the railway station.
The mirror was obviously made in India. The red oxide at its back had come off at several places
and long lines of translucent glass cut across its surface. Sir Mohan smiled at the mirror with an air
of pity and patronage.
The mirror smiled back at Sir Mohan. “You are a bit of all right, old chap,’ it said. ‘Distinguished,
efficient-even handsome. That neatly trimmed moustache-the suit from Saville Row with the
carnation in the button-hole-the aroma of eau de cologne, talcum powder, and scented soap all
about you! Yes, old fellow, you are a bit of all right.’
Sir Mohan threw out his chest, smoothed his Balliol tie for the umpteenth time and waved a
goodbye to the mirror.
Outside the waiting room Sir Mohan Lal’s luggage lay piled along the wall. On a small grey steel
trunk Lachmi, Lady Mohan Lal, sat chewing a betel leaf and fanning herself with a newspaper. She
was short and fat and in her middle forties. She wore a white sari with a red border. On one side of
her nose glistened a diamond nose-ring and she had several gold bangles on her arms. She had
been talking to the bearer until Sir Mohan had summoned him inside. As soon as he had gone,
she hailed a passing railway coolie.
‘Where does the zenana stop?’
‘Right at the end of the platform.”
The coolie flattened his turban to make a cushion, hoisted the steel truck on his head, and moved
down the platform. Lady Lal picked up her brass tiffin-carrier and ambled along behind him. On
the way she stopped by a hawker’s stall to replenish her silver betel-leaf case, and then joined the
coolie. She sat down on her steel truck (which the coolie had put down) and started talking to him,
‘Are the trains very crowded on these lines?’
‘These days all trains are crowded, but you’ll find room in the zenana.’
‘Then I might as well get over the bother of eating.’
Lady Lal opened the brass carrier and took out a bundle of cramped chapatties and some mango
pickle. While she ate, the coolie sat opposite her, drawing lines in the gravel with his finger.
~Karma - Khushwant Singh

Scenario I — Interview
[entering the room] Shrinidhi: Hello, Mr. Gunawardene. Hope you are well!
Boss: Hello, Ms. Shrinidhi, I’m well, thank you — please take a seat. How are you doing today? I
hope you didn’t have any trouble getting to the right location.
[sitting down] Shrinidhi: I’m doing great, thank you so much! Getting here was quite easy for me
— the instructions sent by the HR were very helpful.
Boss: I’m glad to hear that. Well, let’s get started then. Would you like to tell me about yourself?
Shrinidhi: Sure. I graduated last year with a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from
Wellesley College, where I took the specific field of human rights and international law quite
quickly, and then pursued a research internship at the International Justice Organization.
Since graduation, I’ve been working as a fellow at ThinkAsia, a human rights organization based
out of Singapore. I’ve been looking to get involved in international law for a long-term role after
my fellowship is done in four months, which is why I am looking to find work in a legal firm such as
yours.
Boss: Great. We are a legal firm — quite different from the NGOs and human rights organizations
you have worked with. Then why our firm? What about our firm interests you?
Shrinidhi: I’m interested in the legal work you do for conflict-ridden areas in the Asia-Pacific,
especially South Asia. Although I have a human rights background, I want to gain a firm
grounding in the legal aspects of human rights, which I hope to do at your organization.
