Question

Describe the campus where the writer’s family in “An Encounter of a Special Kind” lived. 

Answer 1

The writer's family lived in a large company campus in Raniganj, West Bengal. The officers of the company lived in individual bungalows, and the writer's house was situated at a corner of the campus. The campus was luxurious, with green grass, colourful flowers, and many tall and majestic trees. There were also kitchen gardens with seasonal vegetables. The beautiful surroundings attracted squirrels, many species of birds, and a group of langurs that had made their home in a nearby aswatha tree. Thus, the campus was full of natural beauty and wildlife.
