Manual scavenging, banned through different legislations still prevailed in India due to 'weak legal protection and lack of enforcement' of the rules,
Explanation:
- Inherently woven into the caste system in India is the profession of sanitation work: the Dalits work primarily as sanitary labours as cleaners of drains, manual scavengers, garbage collectors & road sweepers.
- The India govt recognised "manual scavenging" for the 1st time in 2013 as an illegal crime, "punishable" by up to "2 years" in prison. The Act aims to strengthen this ban by banning all manual scavenging and ensures that a compulsory survey identifies the rehabilitation of manual scavengers. Nonetheless, there have been reportedly no convictions under the legislation.
- In the year 2014, after the reinforcement of ban manual scavenging was still prevalent in the states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, & Rajasthan.

The Roll-Top
The author found a roll-top desk in a junk shop. It was in a bad condition but cheap. He thought that he could restore it. So he bought it. He began to work on it on Christmas Eve.
The Letter
He pulled out the drawers. He found that these had been badly damaged by fire and water. The man who sold it had told him that it was very old. It was of 19th century and made of oak. The last drawer had stuck fast. He had to use much force to open it. When it opened, it revealed a secret space. In it he found a small tin box. On the top of the box these words were written : “Jim’s last letter, received January 25, 1915. To be buried with me when the time comes.” Inside, there was an envelope with the address : “Mrs Jim Macpherson 12 Copper Beeches, Bridport.” The date was December 26, 1914.
Jim and Connie
The author read the letter. The owner of the desk must have put it in. The letter had been written by a captain of the English army. His name was Jim Macpherson. He had written it to his wife Connie. A wonderful incident had happened on the battlefield on the Christmas day. Jim Macpherson had narrated it in his letter.
Unforgettable Moments
The English and the Germans were at war. The two armies stood in their respective trenches on the two sides of the no man’s land. Suddenly Macpherson saw someone waving a white flag from the enemy side. Then he saw many German soldiers calling out to them. They were wishing a happy Christmas to the English soldiers. Some English soldiers shouted back ‘Same to you’. The English thought that was all. To their surprise, they saw many Germans moving towards them. The captain was alarmed. It could be a trick. But it was not. They were bringing with them German wine and canned meat. Now there were no rifles between the soldiers. They were hugging one another. The German officer moved towards Macpherson. They shook hands very warmly. Then the German officer said that he was from Dusseldorf and that he played cello in the orchestra. He gave his name as Hans Wolf. In return, Macpherson also introduced himself. He said that he was a school teacher from Dorset.
Dorset and Hardy
Hans Wolf smiled. He said he knew Dorset. In fact he had never been to England. But he knew English. His favourite writer was Thomas Hardy. His favourite book was ‘Far from the Madding Crowd’. It was from there he had learnt all about Dorset. Macpherson shared with Hans Wolf the Christmas cake his wife had sent for him. Hans Wolf said that the marzipan was the best he had ever tasted. It was a wonderful Christmas party.
War or Football
Then a soldier brought out a football. The soldiers played while Macpherson and Hans Wolf clapped and cheered. Hans Wolf sug-gested that the world would be much better if the problems were resolved by a football match instead of war.
The Celebration
After the football match, all the drinks and eatables were consumed. Now it was time to part. Hans Wolf saluted Macpherson and walked away slowly and unwillingly. That night the Germans were heard singing a carol. The English soldiers replied with a rousing chorus of another carol. They exchanged carols for a while and then it was all silence. Macpherson wrote in his letter that he would treasure those moments all his life.
The Hope
Macpherson ended the letter hoping that the war would end soon. Both armies longed for peace and he was sure they would be together again.
The Burnt House
Having read the letter, the author, put it back in the envelope. He decided to give the letter back to whom it belonged. The address was of Bridport, Dorset. So he drove to that place. The house no. 12 turned out to be a burnt-out shell. It was found that Mrs Macpherson was in the house when it caught fire. The fireman had got her out just in time. She was 101 years old. Now she was in a nursing home.
Mrs Macpherson
The author went to the nursing home. He met the matron. She told the author that Mrs Macpherson was rather confused that day. They had put her in a conservatory. The author found Mrs Macpherson sitting in a chair. Naturally, she looked up at the author vacantly. But her eyes lit up when he called her ‘Connie’ and gave her the letter. He told her how he had got the letter. But she was not listening to him. She reached out and took his hand. Her eyes were filled with tears. She felt that her Jim had returned. She said that her Jim had kept his promise. He had returned on the eve of Christmas. She made him sit beside her. She kissed his cheek. She talked long and lovingly to him. She said that she had got the best Christmas present in the world.

it was the month of may. the school had reopened after the annual results.
I was promoted to the higher class and was very excited about it. My bag was full of new books. My uniform was brand new. I was walking briskly towards the school. Suddenly, there were dark clouds in the sky. They soon spread and covered the sun. I started running towards the school and when I was barely a 100 meters away from the school it started pouring hard .I ran towards a tree and stood under it for some time but the rain did not stop. Soon, water drops started drenching me to the marrow. I tried to save my bag to no avail. My shoes and socks were so full of water that I started feeling a numbness in my feet. At last,I took up the risk and started running towards the school. My shoes threw mud all over my back. When I reached school building I took shelter in the porch. I immediately opened my bag and tried to rescue my books and notebooks.The cardboard wrapper of pastel chalks that were meant for the drawing period had got torn.The chalks had become pulp and their color was splashed on my books and notebooks.
I removed my shoes and shocks and left them to dry. I looked awkward. Since then, I never forgetto take my umbrella along the raining season.

The poem is about the way earth looks from different altitudes. It is divided into three parts. When the jet takes off and starts to climb up in the sky, you can have full height view of the city. The city grew as per its necessity and did not grow as per proper planning. It does not have any particular style. It even looked six inches from a certain height revealing its true structure.
When the jet went above six miles, there is more water than land on the earth. While appreciating the geographical niceties of our planet, the poet is unable to understand the tendency to build borders, to erect walls, to create fences. Then he reflected that people on earth selfish and narrow for they hate each other. He found the earth to be one, but not the people living on this earth, who are divided for shallow reasons.

According to eyewitness accounts, the following events happened:
• Elephants screamed and ran for higher ground.
• Dogs refused to go outdoors.
• Flamingos abandoned their low-lying breeding areas.
• Zoo animals rushed into their shelters and could not be enticed to come back out.
The belief that wild and domestic animals possess a sixth sense—and know in advance when the earth is going to shake—has been around for centuries.
Wildlife experts believe animals' more acute hearing and other senses might enable them to hear or feel the Earth's vibration, tipping them off to approaching disaster long before humans realize what's going on.
The massive tsunami was triggered by a magnitude 9 temblor off the coast of northern Sumatra island on December 26. The giant waves rolled through the Indian Ocean, killing more than 150,000 people in a dozen countries.

The Cricket said the given line when it found that its cupboard was empty and winter had arrived. It could not find a single crumb to eat on the snow-covered ground and there were no flowers or leaves on the tree. It wondered what would become of it because it was getting cold and since there was nothing to eat, it would starve and die.

An inbuilt capacity to help others is something every human being don't know about yet.
We do have this capacity and capability but only till it's affordable to us whether it's emotionally or financially. Moreover, this doesn't mean to make someone completely dependent on ourselves that over the time they forget the phrase "God help those who help themselves".
So helping others are always good but everything has it's negative side, better try to ignore the negative side of it and do it until it's spreading the positivity in others and in ourselves.
