What does Meera ask Arjun to write down?

Question 59

EasyOriginal question

Meera: You've been staring at that college list for an hour. Have you decided?

Arjun: I've decided that I hate deciding. The one near home has the course I want. The one in Delhi has the name everyone .

Meera: And which one do you want?

Arjun: That's the trouble. When I say the Delhi one out loud, I sound . When I think about actually living there, I feel tired.

Meera: So you want the Delhi college for the sound of it.

Arjun: That's a way to put it.

Meera: I didn't say it was wrong. Plenty of people choose for the name, and a name opens doors. I only asked which one you want.

Arjun: Papa says a big name matters for jobs.

Meera: He might be right. He also said the scooter would last ten more years, and it has been in the repair shop twice this month.

Arjun: Don't let him hear you say that.

Meera: I'm serious, though. Write down what you would do on an ordinary Tuesday at each place. Not the version. A Tuesday.

Arjun: An ordinary Tuesday. At home I'd be in the lab by nine. In Delhi I'd be on the metro by eight, trying to remember why I came.

Meera: Well. You just answered it.
