curtains, the materials of which had been bought from the best textile
manufacturing company. Each room is fitted with a radio so that one can enjoy
programs from the bed. The drawing room is elegantly furnished with sofas, chairs
and a central table. The walls are lined with built-in cupboards, a library to house
well-chosen volumes by master novelists. There is a niche for the television and
the room can be used for viewing programs. All the rooms are airy and airconditioned.
The kitchen is beautifully done up. It is fitted with electric grills and things
can be stacked neatly away in specially designed cabinets. It is provided with
modern gadgets for grinding, pulverizing or cutting.
