How do you think Khetaram would feel about taking up this challenging task every day?
Khetaram would likely feel a mix of physical exhaustion and dedication towards his duty. Walking 20 km in the scorching heat where the sands sizzle under his feet, carrying a mailbag weighing up to 28 kilos, is undeniably tiring. He himself admits that "Even a single delivery is tiring" during the summers.
Despite this fatigue, he would feel a strong sense of readiness and pride in his role. This is evident when he enthusiastically says, "Main tayyar hoon" (I'm ready) before striding off to deliver the mail. His commitment to ensuring the mail reaches the border within 24 hours shows he embraces the challenge willingly.
Explanation
The question asks for an inference about Khetaram's feelings based on the text. The text provides two contrasting pieces of evidence: the physical toll of the job (heat, distance, weight, 'tiring') and his enthusiastic willingness to do it ('Main tayyar hoon', striding off, ensuring 24-hour delivery). A complete answer must address both the physical fatigue and his dedicated, willing spirit.
