This piece is an example of a chatty, rambling style. One thought leads to another which is then dwelt upon at length. Read the text again and mark the transitions from one idea to another. The first one is indicated below. Make-up Department Office-boy Subbu

The author makes a transitionfrom a detailed observation of the make-up department of Gemini Studios to the character of the office boy. The author then moves on to another detailed portrayal of the character of Kothamangalam Subbu after having briefly dwelled upon the office boy. From Subbu the author makes a transition to the legal adviser and the episode where he unwittingly brought an end to an actress’s career. The author’s next thought on the mess of Gemini Studios quickly shifts to the arrival of Frank Buchman’s Moral Re-Armament Army. The description of the arrival of the second visitor, the English poet-editor and his reception shifts to the author’s own pondering about creative writing. Finally, the episode of the short story contest and the revelation of the mystery of the visitor poet makes way for an incident that takes place years later, the buying of the book The God That Failed. read less
