The author had planned to go to England with all his family members. He arrived at the Logan airport at Boston. When they were checking in, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to use his frequent flier card (British Airways). He also remembered how he had left it in a bag. He tried to open the bag. The zip was jammed. He tried to open it by force. After several attempts, it gave away spilling all the contents in a sprawling corridor in the airport. He ignored the flying documents, silver coins and even passport.

He worried about the tobacco box which was rolling away crazily disgorging its content on the way. He cried “My Tobacco” remembering how expensive it would be to buy tobacco for his pipe in England. Just then he realized that he was bleeding profusely. He had made a gash on his finger while trying to open the zip of his bag by force. He cried hysterically on seeing his own blood, “My finger” My finger”. In general, he was not comfortable flowing other’s blood. But when it came to spilling his own blood “hysterics” was really justified.

 ‘A few highly – endowed men will rescue the world for centuries to come,’ said Cardinal Newman.  

Respected principal, teachers and friends, today we have with us a man who will safeguard the health of people for years to come because of his selfless work. My reference is to our chief guest, Mr. Rammurthy whose achievements include providing clean drinking water, good roads and electricity to villages. Mr. Rammurthy, who hails from Mysore, served as C.E.O of Dharwad and D.C. of Madikeri and Uttara Kannada District after completing first his M.Sc. and then I.A.S. in 1980. At present he has the coveted position of Principal Secretary in the Department of Forest and Mining. 

Mr. Rammurthy’s nature is an interesting combination of diverse interests. He is interested in literature and Indian music. This explains the sensitivity with which Mr. Rammurthy deals with people and tries to do his best for their welfare. 

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you, our honourable chief guest, Mr. Rammurthy.

Dignitaries on the dais and friends off the dais, This evening I have a special privilege indeed. I have the pleasurable task of introducing our illustrious chief guest. As secretary of the College Union, I feel extremely proud that we have a true daughter of the soil, Major Parneetha Sinha as our chief guest.

Major Parneetha Sinha has trodden the path less travelled by women. She is the Head of the Parachute Regiment at the Army Base at Jammu. After graduating with an M.Sc. in Nuclear

Physics, she had rigorous training in the Army College in Chennai. She participated in the Republic Day parade for five consecutive years in Delhi. She has always been on the move as she has had postings at different army bases across India. In these bases, her main responsibility was to train innumerable military personnel, which she did in an enviable manner. Your respect for Major Sinha will reach new heights when I announce that she was instrumental in leading combats against terrorists in Sikkim and Kashmir. A dauntless woman indeed! 

I’m sure Major Sinha has filled every heart here with admiration and I take immense pride in presenting to you Major Parneetha Sinha.

 “Clean India Mission” 

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and My Dear Students – Warm Greetings to all of you! I would like to deliver a short speech on Clean India Mission or Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in order that more and more people become aware of it and start observing cleanliness in his/her surroundings and also encourage others to do the same. Clean India Campaign or what has become the catch phrase for all, i.e. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, is one of the most awarded projects kick started by the Prime Minister of India – Shri Narendra Modi Ji. It was on 2nd October, i.e. the day of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, in the year 2014 that he made an official announcement of this special campaign. This is indeed one-of-itskind campaign which drew attention of millions of people and received recognition at a national level. The driving aim behind this campaign was of course to make every region of India, be it rural or urban, Open Defecation Free. Besides this, the aim of this prestigious campaign was to encourage the habit of cleanliness and maintenance of hygiene at all public and private places – whether they are streets, roads, offices, homes or public infrastructure across the country. The best aspect of this campaign is to lay stress on cleanliness of public toilets in all colleges, schools as well as public places. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is needless to say one of the biggest sanitation and cleanliness campaigns being run on a national scale and one of the best parts worth sharing is that over three million public personnel, including school as well as college students came forward to become a part of this campaign. The chief goal of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is to clean our country’s 4,041 towns and cities with a budget of 1.96 lakh crore, which nearly comes down to $31 billion. 

That’s all I have to say! Thank You!

The bar graph represents the number of people migrating from villages to cities in the past few decades. The statistics show a steady increase from 1970 to 2000. The number of people migrating from villages to cities in the year 1970 was 40 lakhs and it became double in 1980. It increased to 120 lakhs in 1990 and reached a peak of 140 lakhs in 200. The reason for migration from villages to cities might be failure in agriculture, fragmentation of joint families, low profit etc. It is very clear that we now find a decrease in migration. It was 100 lakhs in the year 2008. The Government might have taken some measures to stop people migrating from villages to cities. However it is a major problem. Hence the Government should take necessary action to limit this.

All the Dignitaries on the dais, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am very glad to speak on Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the Father of Indian Constitution on the auspicious occasion of Iris birthday. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar was born on 14th April 1891 to Ramji and Bhimabai. He was very intelligent from his childhood days itself. He completed his matriculation in Elphinston School. He completed his college education from Elphinston College. Ambedkar got the help of Maharaja of Baroda and went to America for higher studies. He finished M.Sc and D.Sc degrees from Columbia University and London School of Economics. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar was a voracious reader, social reformer and a journalist; he wrote articles on many topics. He struggled very hard to bring about a change in the society. He worked for equality. His greater contribution is framing Indian constitution. Hence, he is called as Father of the Constitution of India. He was awarded the Bharat Ratna. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar passed away in the year 1956.

Based on the information, write a speech in about 100 words to introduce the guest at the function. 

Presiding Officer Dr. Premanand, Respected Principal Prof. Dayakar, PTA Vice President Mrs. Evelyn Martis, Alumni President Mr. Shekhar Poonja, Parents, Faculty members, Students, Press and Invitees, 

The honour of introducing our esteemed guest on the special occasion of our College Day has come to me as I have the singular privilege of being the College Union President. The resume of our Chief Guest Dr. Jnana V.V. runs into pages as Dr. Jnana has been involved in research work in the field of Astro Physics for more than three decades now. Dr. Jnana, who has M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees, started her career as lecturer in Aryabhata Science College, which is also her Alma mater. Later she joined Archimedes Research Centre as Research Scholar and since then she has been regularly involving herself in public awareness programmes on Science. Owing to her awareness programmes there have been many health benefits for the people of our city. Her work has been so impressive that the Citizens’ Forum honoured her as the Scientist of the Year in 2015. She walks the talk, and is a marvellous example for our students, of service above the self.

Madam, it is an honour beyond words that you have graced the occasion as our chief guest and I request you to enlighten our students and parents on how science can be used in everyday activities so that we contribute towards the welfare of our society and nature. 

Thank you.

Dear friends,

Let me begin by stating that the Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. It lays down the framework defining fundamental political principles, establishes the structure, procedures, powers and duties of the government. All over the world, it is acknowledged that the Constitution of India is one of the best crafted political and administrative treatises. That is why we should remember Dr. B.R. Ambedkar who is the architect of the Constitution of India, with deep veneration.

Ambedkar, who was born on 14 April 1891, was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He sought the help of Baroda’s Maharaja to go to the U.S.A. and study in Columbia University. He got his M.Sc., D.Sc. from London School of Economics. He was a voracious reader and turned out to be a great journalist and reformer. More importantly, he fought for the uplift of Dalits. His dream was for a society that was free of class and caste distinctions. Before he passed away in 1956, he had realised his dream of a nation that was independent and self – sufficient. He is the most deserving recipient of the highest civilian award of India – Bharath Ratna.

Dear friends,

I’m given the opportunity to address you in my capacity as president of the college union. I would like to speak about a great Indian of the 20th century who is an inspiration to millions of leaders all over the world. I am sure you have already conjectured rightly that my reference is to Mahatma Gandhi. The epithet Mahatma is the most appropriate one for him because he is an iconic leader who won freedom from British rule using the harmless weapons of non – violence and non – cooperation. Truth was always his trump card. Sarvodaya – universal uplift was his vision as he strove hard for sociai and economic equality. He had the credibility to do it as he himself led a very simple life. He walked the talk. That is why to this day the Gandhian ideology has remained relevant. In fact, Gandhi’s simple living and high thinking, his focus on cottage industry, his call for non – violence are the ideals that we have to uphold now, in an age of consumerism and globalisation. Just as we say, ‘Go green,’ we should also say, ‘Go Gandhian.

Hon’ble Chief guest, Minister of the state for education, respected Principal, all the teachers and dear friends, a very good morning to all of you. On this occasion, I want to tell you how science is a boon or a bane for us.

Science has caused a revolution in the life of man. Science has produced such wonderful things that we can’t imagine. With the help of the satellite, man has landed on the moon. With the help of the radio and television, we can know and watch every happening in any part of the world. With the help of phone and mobile phone, we can contact anybody, anywhere and anytime. With the advance of medical science, man has got victory over several fatal diseases. And lastly, the computer that is the modern wonder has made impossible things possible for us.

Thus, science has proved to be a boon to us. But science is boon as well as bane. If we use science in right manner, it is a boon. But nowadays due to excessive industrialization which is boon of science, we have polluted our environment so much that we are now facing the threat of global warming. Depletion of ozone layer is also due to science. Due to rapid growth without caring about environment, we have created big threats for the human race. 

Thanks a lot.

(4) The frequency of the modulating wave varies according to the massage signal

Correct answer is 

(a) True

(b) False

The roads are, in fact, two alternative ways of life.

Half of the face of Derry was burnt due to spilling of acid. This left an ugly scar on his face. He was afraid of seeing his ugly face in the mirror as it reminded him of his ugliness and made him feel scared and depressed.

Mr. Lamb was not scared of Derry’s burnt face. He wanted to be in his company and talk to him. Mr. Lamb was also handicapped and alone. He spoke in a friendly manner to Derry and inspired him to think positively. Thus, Derry got drawn to Mr. Lamb.

In the story, “The third level”, Charley describes the Grand central station as a huge tree spreading its roots all over. Charley was rushing back to home on an evening. He decided to take the subway to reach the Grand Central station. But unfortunately, he became lost as he found himself in the strange third level. He got to see new corridors, stair cases, and tunnels

Everything seems to be so new to him and he finds the station as a huge tree spreading its roots all over. As he entered the tunnel the reach the station, he found the path leading to a lobby of a hotel which left him totally confused.

Mr. Lamb and Derry both are handicapped. Mr. Lamb has lost his leg in a bomb explosion and Derry has a deformed face due to spilling of acid. They differ in their thoughts, traits, and attitude to life. Derry is not able to cope with his disfigured face and people’s uncharitable remarks. As a result, he keeps himself withdrawn and isolated from the world and has a very negative attitude to life. Derry keeps to himself and is extremely sensitive. He cannot stand people staring at him. On the other hand, Mr. Lamb is not much affected by his handicap. He enjoys reading books, tending plants and flowers. He has a positive attitude to life and accepts everything as it comes. He is open-minded and welcomes people. He is not affected when children call him ‘Lamey Lamb’. 

Thus, both Derry and Mr. Lamb are in contrast to each other. Finally, Mr. Lamb was able to inspire Derry and change his attitude to life.

Derry’s face is scarred and disfigured due to spilling of acid. He is pitied by others. In fact, the acid ate up his face. It also disfigured his personality. This led him to self-pity. He was not able to face the people and their unkind and insensitive remarks.

Derry was a fourteen-year-old boy whose face was partly burnt due to spilling of acid. As a result, he became conscious of his ugly face. He found that people either ridiculed him or pitied him. He developed a negative attitude to life. He became frustrated. But when he met Mr. Lamb, he got inspiration from him to live life as it came. Derry was encouraged by Mr. Lamb to look at the world and to take interest in things around him. He found truth, sense, and inspiration in Mr. Lamb’s words. He learnt from Mr. Lamb to handle his handicap and loneliness. 

In fact, it was Mr. Lamb who brought Derry back to life. Derry learnt the way to live life fully by dealing with his deformity in an appropriate manner.

Derry is a small boy who has a burnt face due spilling of acid. He is very withdrawn and defiant. He runs away from the world as he hates others staring at him. He thinks people are afraid of his deformity. Similarly, Mr. Lamb, too is a handicapped person. He lost one leg in a bomb explosion during the war years ago. He lives alone.

The two of them have deformity and are rejected by the people. Both have a vacuum in their hearts for not having company. Mr. Lamb is a man full of positive energy. When Derry meets him, he finds himself drawn to him. Mr. Lamb seems to be the only one who gives him a new line of thought about his physical disfigurement. 

Thus, they both shared a bond that unites the two of them.

For Derry, his friendship with Mr. Lamb proved very fruitful. Mr. Lamb changed Derry’s attitude to life and gave him courage to face the challenges of life bravely. His way of living a life to its utmost productivity proved to be an inspiration for Derry who finally came out of his inferiority complex and started living a normal life.
