Khushwant Singh’s grandmother was closely involved in bringing him up when the author lived with her in the village during his early life. She used to wake him up early in the morning. While bathing and dressing him, she sang her prayers, she hoped that the young boy would learn it by heart. She then gave him breakfast – a stale chapatti with butter and sugar. Then they would go together to the temple and school. While the author learnt his lesson, the grandmother would holy books. They returned home together.

A turning point came in their friendship when his parents called them to city. Although they shared a room, she could not help him much. She hated music, science and western education. The common link of their friendship was gradually snapped.

Shirley Toulson’s poem ‘A Photograph’ is a tribute to her mother. The poem describes three stages in the passage of time. In the first stage, the photograph shows the poet’s mother standing at the beach enjoying her holiday with her two girl cousins. She was around 12 years old at that time. The second stage takes us twenty or thirty years later. The mother would laugh at the way she and her cousins were dressed up for the beach holiday. In the third stage, the poet remembers the dead mother with a heavy heart. The photograph revives a nostalgic feeling in the poet.

Answer :- The word Cardboard used in the poem "A Photograph" refers to the photograph of the poets mother enjoying a sea-holiday with her two cousins when she was twelve years old. The cardboard stands for the frame that supports and holds the photograph. It signifies that life is transient and what remains is an insignificant piece of paper.

Answer :- In "The Potrait of a lady" by Khushwant Singh , the authors grabdmother was short,fat and slightly bent in stature. Her silvery white hair was scattered over her wrinkled face. Khushwant Singh remembers her hobbling around the house in spotlesa white clothes with one hand resting on her waist to balance her stoop and the other busy in counting her beads. It was diffucult for the author to believe that once she too was young and pretty because he had always known her as an old woman. She had been the same for the past twenty years. To the author she was beautiful but neither young nor pretty.

The story describes the entire phase of relationship which the author shared with his grandmother. In the early days of the author’s life, his grandmother shared a strong bond with him. However, that tie of friendship loosened a little when they both shifted to the author’s city house. She became resentful of the things being taught in the English school. Finally, the day came when the author was to go to the university. This phase of the author’s life was very painful for the grandmother and led to a complete separation of their relationship. The author got a room of his own and his grandmother led a life of seclusion. However, in spite of changes in the courses of lines, their feelings for each other remained unchanged. Even when he was leaving to go abroad, she didn’t display any emotion but prayed continuously. Same was her reaction when the author came back after five years.

Mourad was considered to be the craziest among his family members because he was considered to be the natural descendant of the crazy streak in the tribe. He was unlike his father Zorab, a practical man but quite like his ancestor Khosrove who was temperamental to say the least. In their family, a man could be the father of his son's flesh but that did not mean he was the father of his spirit too. the distribution of the various kinds of spirit in their tribe had always been capricious and vagrant. Mourad enjoyed being alive more than anybody else who had ever fallen into the world by mistake. He would steal a horse not out of malice or greed but just to take care of the animal or enjoy its company. What the world would term as scatterbrained but in actuality, he was a kind, generous and independent spirit who only answered to the callings of his heart.

In the story “The Portrait of a Lady” the author draws a very beautiful portrait of his grandmother. He spent his childhood with his grandmother in a village. She was not adapted to the modern lifestyles. She was her grandson’s bosom friend. The author says that she was like any other grandmother –old, short, fat, white haired, with wrinkled skin, back stooped with age, loving, caring and above all deeply spiritual. He heard people saying that she was very beautiful in her younger days. However, she was all same from the time he has seen her. She used to walk around the house putting one hand in her back and counting the beads in her rosary in the other. The author said that his dead grandfather’s look did not match his grandmother’s beauty. The author’s grandmother was a strong-willed woman. She not only took care of herself but also her grandson. She used to take him to school, which was attached to a temple. While the author was attending his class, she used to read books in the temple. She helped him in his studies also. She was disposed towards charity. She not only fed animals and birds, but she also loved them. Other than his grandson, they were her company. She did not love music as she considered it was for harlots and beggars. She was a lady of less words and more work.

Hosahalli didn’t have many people who knew English. Ranga’s father was the first one who had enough courage to send his son to Bangalore to study. He was coming back to the village. Naturally, his homecoming was a great event for the villagers. People rushed to have a look of Ranga. They were satisfied that he was the same Ranga as he had been six months ago.

The villagers had assembled to assess if Ranga had changed as a person after coming back from the city. But everyone was surprised to see that Ranga was the same s he had been six months ago when he had first left the village. An old lady who was near him, ran her hand over his chest and looked into his eyes to comment that he had not lost his caste. The crowd melted away once they had ascertained that Ranga had not changed. The people were religious and close to their roots.

It is quite true, after the Wavewalker was irreparably damaged by the colossal wave, everyone on-board contributed to save it.  

Not only the elders on the boat worked hard, kept nerves, and cooperated with one another, the six year old son, and the seven year old daughter behaved courageously and bravely also in the face of the storm. The six year old son Jon reassured his dad that he was not afraid to die if he could be together with his family. So these fearless words motivated the author to do his best to save the damaged boat. The author was really a great sailor as he repaired the damaged boat, steered it and made it steady in the raging storm.  

Larry Vigil and Herb Seigler, the professional sailors hired in S. Africa helped the narrator in tackling the Southern Indian Ocean. They proved to be real saviours when the ship had been flooded with the sea water. They pumped like madmen to keep the water levels reasonably low. Each and every person on Wavewalker did their best to save the boat. Their courageous efforts were nothing but sheer hard work, keeping nerves, and cooperation. So, they survived the disaster.

In the last line of the poem, “The Laburnum Top”, a poem by Edward James, the poet is portraying the unexpected silence which comes on the laburnum tree when a small singing bird, with yellow feathers on the wings, called “Goldfinch” left the tree and flies away after feeding its young ones.  

The bird was on the tree for quite a time and the tree was lively and noisy due to its presence but after its departure, the tree again becomes calm and quiet.

2.Read the following passage carefully and answer the following question. A good business letter is one that gets results. The best way to get results is to develop a letter that, in its appearance, style and content, conveys information efficiently. To perform this function, a business letter should be concise, clear and courteous. The business letter must be concise: don’t waste words. Little introduction or preliminary chat is necessary. Get to the point, make the point, and leave it. It is safe to assume that your letter is being read by a very busy person with all kinds of papers to deal with. Re-read and revise your message until the words and sentences you have used are precise. This takes time, but is a necessary part of a good business letter. A short business letter that makes its point quickly has much more impact on a reader than a long-winded, rambling exercise in creative writing. This does not mean that there is no place for style and even, on occasion, humour in the business letter. While it conveys a message in its contents, the letter also provides the reader with an impression of you, its author: the medium is part of the message. The business letter must be clear. You should have a very firm idea of what you want to say, and you should let the reader know it. Use the structure of the letter—the paragraphs, topic sentences, introduction and conclusion—to guide the reader point by point from your thesis, through your reasoning, to your conclusion. Paragraph often, to break up the page and to lend an air of organisation to the letter. Use an accepted business-letter format. Re-read what you have written from the point of view of someone who is seeing it for the first time, and be sure that all explanations are adequate, all information provided (including reference numbers, dates, and other identification). A clear message, clearly delivered, is the essence of business communication. The business letter must be courteous. Sarcasm and insults are ineffective and can often work against you. If you are sure you are right, point that out as politely as possible, explain why you are right, and outline what the reader is expected to do about it. Another form of courtesy is taking care in your writing and typing of the business letter. Grammatical and spelling errors (even if you call them typing errors) tell a reader that you don’t think enough of him or can lower the reader’s opinion of your personality faster than anything you say, no matter how idiotic. There are excuses for ignorance; there are no excuses for sloppiness. The business letter is your custom-made representative. It speaks for you and is a permanent record of your message. It can pay big dividends on the time you invest in giving it a concise message, a clear structure, and a courteous tone. 2.1 Make notes on the passage using recognisable abbreviations in any suitable format. Give a title to the passage. 5
