Indians are known for their hospitality. They feel that guest is a person to be honoured and respected and serving him is a sacred duty. My mother is very particular about keeping things in their proper place, but the moment Mr. Narayan arrived, our guest room as well as our drawing room is in a total mess. He is very unsystematic and throws things here and there. As long as Mr. Narayan is in the house. our whole routine is going to remain upset.

Explanation:

Here, we need to pay attention to the tenses and voice of verbs.

The present simple tense (are, throws) is used to talk about habits, unchanging situations, general truths, and fixed arrangements.

The past simple tense (arrived) is used to talk about actions that took place and finished in the past.

The construction is going to + infinitive (is going to remain) can be used for predictions based on something we can see or hear now.

Gerunds (serving, keeping) are nouns derived from verbs by adding -ing.

The passive voice (to be honored) is used when we want to emphasize the action and the object of a sentence rather than the subject.
