Varun uses "lugubrious" and "unctuous" in his writing to good effect. The piece has a very good 'hook' that grabs the reader's attention.
The sensory details in the first paragraph actually makes it feel "lugubrious" - full of gloom.
Good writing!
One of the most peculiar men in the
labyrinths of Italy was this waiter who I abhorred. I encountered him around noon. It was gloomy - as if the war still raged, shadowing the mere
thought of hope. My footsteps echoed on the gravel pathway that took me through
the lugubrious streets of Italy.
I finally reached my destination where I stopped for pizza. Papa Pisa is a very well-known place but when I entered I wondered if I had come to the wrong place. I was greeted by an unctuous man who was unctuous in almost every way you can be unctuous. He was unusually dressed with oil dripping off his hair. His attitude was so irritatingly cheerful that it made me want to slap him.
