UCEED Part B Drawing Question 3

Prof. Shastri was checking maths papers when she got a call from her husband. Mr. Shastri was upset that she forgot the diet lunch box that he had specially prepared for her. He was also annoyed that she left the dining table in a mess with all her papers and books piled up. He further accused her of cheating on her diet by eating canteen Pakoras and Aloo Parathas for lunch. Prof. Shastri tried to pacify him by saying that she had been working since morning as she needed to finish checking papers and writing her research proposal by 5 pm that evening. She even had a headache from skipping lunch. Mr. Shastri was not convinced and reminded her that she hadn’t even read the diet book he had sent and was probably using it as a paperweight in her office. He concluded that she wasn’t serious about her health and proceeded to declare that he will not be cooking for her from then on. Prof. Shastri hung up the phone and, in frustration, ordered her fifth cup of tea from the canteen and her second plate of Pakoras. From the above description, sketch Prof. Shastri’s desk from her usual point of view.

Note: Make pencil sketches only. Do not use colors, and do not draw Prof. Shastri.
