The message the poem ‘The Voice of the Rain’ gives to the readers is the message of giving back to our source or origin. The rain receives life from the earth and its water bodies. It rises from the earth and forms into clouds in the sky; finally it falls back to the earth and its water bodies. Thus rain gives life back to the source from where it receives life. 

The growth of world population puts a severe strain on the earth’s principal biological systems. Due to excessive human claims these reach an unsustainable level where their productivity is damaged. Development is not possible if world population continues to grow so rapidly. Increasing population brings hunger, poverty and unemployment.

The narrator was delighted to see the charming horse which was stolen by his cousin Mourad and he was frightened because Mourad had stolen that beautiful horse from the farmer. Aram and Mourad both were cousins and their family is identified by their honesty. They were poor but both had a dream of horse riding but they couldn’t afford because of less money. One day Mourad came to visit Aram at his house with white horse and by seeing horse Aram became delighted by the beauty of white horse.

The narrator felt that although the people of his clan were poverty stricken, yet they were honest. They were proud, honest, and they believed in right and wrong. None of them would take advantage of anybody in the world, let alone steal.

The narrator was Mourad’s younger cousin. He admired him a lot. He also thought Mourad to be one of the craziest members of the Garoghlanian tribe. He was full of life and loved following his passions without caring for people around him. He could do anything to do the things he loved. Only a crazy boy like him could take the horse for riding at early dawn every day. He sacrificed his night’s sleep every night for his passion for riding. He even risked his tribe's reputation for his passion for riding. Mourad had the knack of handling almost any critical situation. His heart was full of love for animals. The narrator wished to have some of Mourad’s admirable qualities such as horse-riding, confidence to handle critical situations in him.

Answer:
The ‘good old days’ refer to a time when the narrator was about nine years old. Then, to him, the world was full of all possible kinds of splendour. Life then seemed charming and was as alluring as a mystifying dream.

Dear Ramesh

You will be grieved to know that the grand old lady of our family is no more in this world. She breathed her last on last Sunday. She died just three days after I returned from Germany. Actually, she overstrained herself. She gathered all the ladies of the neighbourhood in the evening on the day of my arrival. She continued thumping an old drum singing the homecoming of warriors. That day she was so much excited that she forgot even to pray. The next morning she fell ill. She knew that her end was near. She lay peacefully in bed. She was praying and telling her beads. Her lips stopped and the rosary fell from her lifeless hands. She was dead. So ended the life-history of a great and noble soul.

A strange thing happened. Hundreds of sparrows sat scattered over the floor near her dead body. There was no chirruping. The grandmother used to feed them everyday in the afternoon. My mother broke some bread into little crumbs. She threw the crumbs to them. They took no notice of the bread. The moment the corpse was carried off, the sparrows flew away quietly.

Yours sincerely

Khushwant Singh

The grandmother was very old. She was slightly bent. She couldn’t stand and walk with her body in an upright position. She had to keep one of her two hands on her waist. She did so to balance her stoop.

Sub -- Necessity of a furnished library in our locality

Dear Sir,

I would request you to open a fully furnished library in our locality as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, libraries play an important role in the life of a nation. It is essential for the enhancement of moral, educational and social values of a society. Our area is thickly populated that needs a major library. The absence of an open library creates inconvenience for the general population, especially the students. Attainment of learning is the fundamental right of all the individuals of a society."

How were the grandmother and the narrator good and intimate friends?

Actually, both of them were like good and intimate friends. They spent most of the time together. She woke him up early in the morning and got him ready for school. She gave him a breakfast of stale bread with a little butter and sugar spread on it. She accompanied him to his school.

The poem ‘The Voice of the Rain’ beautifully shows the continued process of rain which sounds like music to human ears, as it fulfills our needs.

It is an ever going process which sustains human life and provides us with food, pure air and green cover. On the other hand, human lives are mortal. We come on this Earth for a short period and then depart without leaving any mark on this planet. Moreover human beings, for their greed and selfish motives, indulge in destructive activities which may disturb these eternal processes of nature.

We must learn a lesson from nature. If we want peaceful co-existence, we need not disturb the balance of nature, otherwise the whole of humanity will be in danger. We must learn a lesson from such eternal processes and do something good for humanity at large.

Rain is an eternal process benefiting mankind

From the given information of the question ,

Water cycle is responsible to bring rain , which is extremely beneficial for the living organism of the planet Earth ,

As water is an essential need for the survival of living organisms , as it helps to quench thirst , required for the growth of plants , maintain the under water ground level etc.

The need of water and rain is limitless  , and hence distorting the rain is equivalent to distorting the needs and comforts.

Therefore ,  

we should not disturb this eternal element of nature .

Carter faced many problems when he reached the mummy of King Tut. The resins used to embalm the mummy had hardened, making it difficult to take the body out of the solid gold coffin. So, he decided to place the mummy in the scorching heat to loosen the raisins. But, this did not help at all. Therefore, the body had to be cut. The cut body was then removed in parts and reassembled. The reassembled body was put in a wooden box before it was once again kept in the original place. All this took a lot of time and effort.

Ans. It is a September afternoon. The laburnum tree stands in a desolate place. It is silent and still until the goldfinch arrives to feed her chicks. The silent tree comes to life. The little chicks start up a noise like that of a steam engine.

The laburnum tree top is silent and still in the afternoon of yellow September sunlight. Its few leaves are getting yellow. And all its seeds have fallen.

The author's Grandmother is a lady who is very spiritual and is a lady not accustomed to the Modern Techniques, styles and way of life. She has a kind heart and is very kind to animals. She is very much accustomed to the Village Way of Life. She is the frequent visitor of the temple. Her view and perspective of music is that it is the monopoly of harlots.
