Question Paper
Translate the following passage into Hindi
The older of the two would be above thirty. He was a tall and stout man. It was because he was too stout that he could not be said to possess a good figure. His complexion was dull and dark.

When Kamalakshi saw a stranger open the gate and come in that evening, she threw down the broom in her hand, and rushed to the veranda.
But no writer has any valid excuse to stay alive after she has stopped writing.
