The title taken from Virginia Woolf's celebrated paper is planned to serve two amazingly applicable purposes; initial, an acknowledgment of the inborn likeness with which both artistic greats apply the 'continuous flow method with a most extreme artfulness, and second, and something much more applicable to this examination paper, the urgent yearning for a private space by the female hero of the novel, Monisha She needs frantically for an individual space in the midst of Jiban's joint family. The expression room in the title fits well on both exacting just as allegorical grounds.
