A News Paper Man The newspaperman delivers newspapers to us and many other houses in the neighborhood. I hear his motorcycle every morning when he comes to deliver the daily paper. He comes promptly at 6.30 a.m. every morning, rain or shine, unless something extraordinary prevents him from doing so. He is so regular and prompt that I do not need any alarm clock to wake me up.

A Mad Woman I went for a walk every morning. Sometimes I come across a mad woman dressed in a dark dirty sari. She probably has not taken a bath. Her hair is matted, teeth stained red with betel-nut and eyes blood-shot with the look of madness. It is never pleasant when I see her standing by the roadside.

The Garbage Collectors It is incredible how much rubbish we throw into the garbage bin. It always seems to be full. The smell can be quite strong. So we are very thankful to the garbage collectors who come and remove the garbage. They norm ally come thrice a week.

Confined To The House It all began with a blister on my lower eyelid. I happened to rub it accidentally and it was painful. Soon after blisters appeared on my hands and neck.
