There are lamps, tables, desks, shields and wall hangings, couch, chest of drawers for keeping files, sitting chairs in another corner, plants, paintings and large bookshelves in the room as well.

Raju did not want to lose his dear friend and on the same time, did not want to lose his degree caused by his rustication.
