cure’. 02

2. road. His father took him to the nearby hospital. There was urgency in
the voice of the nurse sent by the doctor to call him. He felt a surge of
anxiety as he entered the doctor's cabin. The doctor told his father that
Anish's brain had been severely injured and he would collapse in a
couple of hours.
However, he was not ready to accept that. So he shifted Anish
immediately to a leading hospital. The neurosurgeon there, examined
him and decided to go for a surgery. Alone he was waiting outside the
operation theatre at 2.30 am, weeping continuously. Wild thoughts like
"In what state is he going to be after the surgery? Is he going to be alive?
Is he going to be normal? Will he ever speak again? Is he going to walk,
or will he have to use the wheelchair?” ran in his mind. After the
surgery, the doctor told him that in a scale of 1 to 15, where a normal
person would be rated 15, Anish could be rated only three. He was then
shifted to a special room with 24-hour special nurses to take care of him.
Tubes were inserted into his body to aid breathing, feeding and
urination. The right side of his skull was cut open and kept in his
abdomen for future use. The only movements in his body were that of
his head, which moved right and left and his eye balls. He was thinking
why that plight had befallen his son. 04

patron of the arts, JRD was revered by India’s artists, sculptors and
performing artist. Under JRD’s tutelage, the Tatas became the biggest
buyers, promoters and supporters of the art world in India. As a
philanthropist, JRD Tata built up the tremendously active Tata
Charitable Trust and kept it alive. Entrepreneurs like Sir Homi Mody, Sir
Ardeshir Dalal, Sir Jehangir Ghandy, Russi Mody, Sumant Moolgaokar
and Darbari Seth, etc. were developed under JRD Tata’s supportive
climate. Scientists of international repute such as Homi Bhabha, leading

as John Matthai, A. D. Shroff, D. R. Pendse and Freddie Mehta could
flourish under JRD Tata’s guidance. 04
(d) Justify the statement 'He (Gurmeet Singh) is like God'.

Ans: Gurmeet Singh is a true Samaritan. Someone among the abandoned
patients says, ‘He is like God’. This statement proves itself when we
learn about Gurmeet Singh’s contribution as a philanthropist. Gurmeet
Singh, once visited the Government hospital ward with poor lady and her
scalded son, he was moved by the scene there. At that moment, he
decided to do something for the patients of the ward. He then started

patients. He and his brothers put away 10 percent of their monthly
earnings in donation box only for the abandoned patients. Gurmeet
Singh’s entry in the ward always brings a smile on the weary faces of the
patients. He plays different roles for them. He enquires about their health
as if he is their doctor; Being careful for them, he plays the role of the
nurse; As he provides them with necessary food and medicines, he is
their provider, and most importantly, he plays the role of a kin for them
by affectionately taking their care. He is regular in his help and after his
work, he leaves his modest apartment everyday for the patients. He had
not gone on vacation for 13 years for them. 04

(a) Describe the change in the author's life after his son's accident.
Ans: The author's life changed tremendously after his son's accident.
The accident was so grave that the sight, that the author saw, is still vivid
in his memories. After hospitalization, he felt a surge of anxiety as he
entered the doctor's cabin. He was not in a frame of mind to accept
when the doctor revealed that Anish's brain had been severely injured,
and that in a couple of hours, he would collapse. He wanted Anish back
to life.
So he shifted Anish immediately to a leading hospital. The neurosurgeon
there examined him and decided to go for a surgery. Alone he was
waiting outside the operation theatre at 2. 30 am and weeping
continuously.
Many wild thoughts like "In what state is he going to be after the
surgery? Is he going to be alive? Is he going to be normal? Will he ever

ran in his minds. That night was so dreadful for him and his family that
the memory still shudders his whole being and words fail to express his
grief.
He was thinking that why this plight has befallen his son. When Anish
was back home after months of hospitalisation, his condition was
unchanged. He used to cry within himself. They tried all kinds of
treatment techniques, but nothing actually bettered his condition. His

(d) Summarise the struggle of Shiva.

Ans: Shiva with his elder sister Yogeshwari used to sell the garlands
at traffic signals and other places after their school. Despite all the hard
work his family members did, money was insufficient. Therefore Shiva
used to sell the newspapers.
Though Krishna paid Shiva’s school fees, Shiva’s family
needed cash for rent and food among other things. So he continued
working and studying hard. After his schooling, he got admission in
Computer Science Engineering. He studied hard and scored good marks.
Then he gave up their flower work. Now, after classes, Shiva began
working late into the night as a salesman in an electronics shop. At one
point, Shiva left his job at the electronics store and started a computer
repair service with a friend. With all this, Shiva sometimes reported late
for college. Being tired, he would take a nap in the class. Classmates
giggled and teachers rebuked him.
Meanwhile, from newspaper delivery boy in the
mornings, Shiva graduated to sub agent with about 50 customers. His
earnings increased substantially, but the workload had shot up too. He
was still delivering papers but also had to visit homes and offices to
collect payments and acquire more customers.
On Krishna's suggestion, he also enrolled in a CAT
coaching class. However after attending a few lectures, Shiva realized
that he didn't have the time to attend the lectures. So he kept taking their
notes and old CAT question papers to study at home. Krishna prepared
him for mock interviews of IIM and group discussions. Together, they
spent hours preparing for IIM admission. He got admission in IIM. After
his IIM, he got a job as a deputy country manager in Sri Lanka. 04

Father : It’s too bad to use mobile phones excessively. You know Vinay,
many youngsters are getting addicted to the mobile
phones.
Son : I know. But what should I do when I am bored?
Father : You should read great books. Use mobile phone to find
information related to your studies and not for playing mobile
games. Play on the ground. Technology should be used for
our benefit but it should not overtake us.
Son : Yes dad! I agree.
Father : Excessive use of mobile phones also affects our eyes.
Son : I got it dad. I will use mobile phones only for finding
study related information and to make calls.
Father : That’s great. Now, I have to go to the office. Bye!

life. Internet can be simply defined as a source of infinite knowledge.
Internet is used from kid to old man for various purposes. Kids use
internet for downloading or playing games. Finding information from
internet is also important part of students’ life. On the other hand, some
people use internet for entertainment like watching videos, listening
music and so on. Some people use internet hours and hours for chatting,
using facebook etc. Internet is used mostly in software companies for
work. It has made an individual's life quite easy. Communication with
anyone from any part of the globe is made possible and easy. It's even

3. (d) Write a paragraph on 'My Favourite Hobby'.
Ans: My hobby is reading interesting and knowledgeable books.
Reading is very good habit which can help me at every stage of my life.
This hobby can be developed by anyone however I got this naturally.
Reading books keep one always happy and busy. It is the good source of
enjoyment, knowledge, inspiration and instruction. It makes us
disciplined, loyal, punctual and most importantly a successful person in
the life. One who reads books can never feel alone and disturb. I think
this habit is more precious than gold or other precious stones of the
world. It provides us high level of knowledge, noble thoughts and ideas
to work in many fields. Good and interesting books are like best friends
for the one who likes to read. The one who do not have this habit may
possess worldly wealth but he/she would always be poor because of the
lack of wealth of true knowledge. 04
