Reference: These words are from the poem, ‘Our Casuarina Tree” written by Torn Dutt.

Context: The poet says this while appreciating the strength of her Casuarina tree.

Explanation: The creeper saps the tree for its survival and growth. But the tree treats the creeper’s tight hold as a lover’s embrace. It ignores bite marks oflove.lt allows the creeper to lean on its trunk and live. The tree also grows stout and strong.

Shakespeare portrays the fleeting nature of human glory. King Richard II, on the verge of surrender to his rebellious cousin Bolingbroke, talks about the nature of temporal power and death. He talks about graves, epitaphs and worms. He explains how even monarchs leave nothing behind as their own except a small patch of land in which they are buried. The dejected king talks on various ways kings get killed. Some are slain in the battle field, some poisoned to death by their own spouses.

The kings who believed their bodies to be impregnable brass are shattered by just a pinprick. In fact, death is in supreme command which waits for the king, and only allows the king to act as if he were ruling and in control of everything. He chides his loyal friends who still believe that he is a monarch and tells them that he is an ordinary mortal just like them. He is humbled as he is powerless before the impending death.

(B)A is true but R is false.

Unlike the people of the past, people in modem times “laugh only with their teeth” while their iceblock cold eyes search for something. Now, people shake hands without hearts. There is no human warmth in social relations. While they shake hands, they look for evidences to judge the financial status of a person. People say ‘feel at home’ and ‘come again’. But if a person visits a third time he is not welcomed. They all have cocktail faces ready for all occasions. Their conforming smiles are like fixed portrait smiles. They wear standard, deceitful, artificial smile for all occasions. They have faces like masks.

The poet has learnt from them how to use faces like dresses, home face, office face, street face, host face etc. Their faces, like the teeth of the elephant, show only what is accepted. The ugly side of their personality is cleverly hidden behind their deceitful smiles and polite words. So, the poet’s views do not concur with the adage “Face is the index of the mind”.

Correct option is A) dirty

Robert Lynd is amazed at the efficiency of human memory. Modem man remembers telephone numbers, names of film stars, cricketers, football champions and even notorious murderers. He remarks wittily that man does not forget a single item of his clothing. No one forgets to shut the door when leaving the house. The institution of family survives in modem cities because ordinary people have extraordinary memory power. In some matters, the memory is less than perfect, causes could be psychological. We tend to forget things we don’t wish to remember.

For example, many people forget to take medicines. Medicine needs to be taken before / after meals. Robert Lynd remarks that chemists make a lot of money because people tend to forget to take medicines. It aggravates the disease and people are forced to buy more and more medicines. Most people forget to post.letters. The author himself would not trust his letters to be posted by others. The author himself never remembered to post letters entrusted to him. He had to apologise for the unposted letters kept with him for long. Likewise, the author forgets his walking sticks often.

Following are the requisites of a successful enterprise: 

(i) Easy formation – If an enterprise is soon and conveniently to be established sole trading is recommended for a partnership the same minded partners with the same ideology have to be taken into the fold. 

(ii) Type of Business activities- An entrepreneur ought to be select his enterprise according to his business activities. 

(iii) Direct control- If an entrepreneur wants to keep strict control over the business activities and is not willing to brook any interference or contradiction he must prefer sole trading or personal and private company. 

(iv) Area of operation- In case the area of an enterprise is limited and confined to local area the sole trading will be the most suitable one but if it is vast area or ay national or international scale the enterprise should be in the form of company. 

(v) Availability of capital –If the availability of capital is adequate and the entrepreneur is self-sufficient he must prefer sole trading otherwise the partnership would be suitable and if much more capital is required than the formation of a company would do better. 

(vi) Government regulations- Each and every trade quite often has to observe the government regulations where as in large scale business enterprise there are many legal complications. As such in view of the above considerations, an entrepreneur has to make a judicious selection of his business enterprise.

The graduates must acquire the means of a decent living. But it should be the only objective. As their education is funded by the tax from poor people, they have on obligation to pay back to the society if not in cash in terms of service. They must bring light into the dark alleys, sunshine into dingy places, solace into the affiliated hope unto the despondent and a new life into every one.

In Project identification is needed experience and use of mind.

Objectives of Advertising- With the spectacle of a common man, the sole objective of advertising is to increase the sales but from the commercial point of view, the objective not restricted to this only. A product is advertised with several purposes. As per S.R.Davar, "The purpose of advertising is to benefit the producer, to educated consumer, to assist the seller or salesman to attract the traders by suppressing the competition and above all this to establish rapport between the producer and the consumer."As such advertising has various objectives which are follows.

(1) To Introduce New Products or Services- It is through advertising that the people are to be informed about any newly launched product and induce them to buy it. 

(2) To Increase Sales- Another aim of advertising is to promote sales. A trader always strives to increase sales and with this purpose in mind, he does advertising. 

(3) To Create and Develop New Markets- One objective of advertising is to explore and develop new vistas or markets, which is easier to do so by means of advertising. 

(4) To Sustain the Existing Demand- The objective here is not only to increase demand rather to exploit the current or existing demand, which requires repeated advertising. 

(5) To Education the Consumer- Advertising always directs the prospective buyers to the sellers by inspiring and educating them about the product and facilitates the efforts of the producers, this is what the advertising does. 

(6) To combat and Accomplish Success in Competition- This is also an objective of advertising to combat competition success. The products which need to be advertised should be better advertised should be better advertised than that of the competitive products. 

(7) To Increase the Goodwill of the Advertiser- It is also an aim of advertising to increase the goodwill of the advertiser, Though consistently regular and frequent advertising in a most suitable medium and manner, the faith of the consumer can be reinforced towards the advertised commodity. In our country in the popularity of Tata, Hindustan Lever and Reliance and many more, advertising has a considerable contribution.

(8) To Remove Doubts and confusion – One more important task of advertising is to dispel doubts or confusion in the way of product sales and for popularizing such product, advertising is the need of the hour. 

(9) To Make cautious- The last but not the least task of advertising is to warn the consumers against the fictitious products, the warning is also intended for the traders, too branches and by installing a better technical infrastructure, he expands his business.

The graduates have drawn largely from the social chest. The largest taken from the society needs to be replenished. If graduates fail to pay back, ordinary people’s coffer will be empty. The supervisor’s education enjoins greater responsibility to society. Apart from their own individual advancement, society has got a right to expect an adequate return from the graduates. The society does not expect them to payback in cash. But they must pay back in terms of service. They should tone up the society by bringing a light into the dark alleys. They should herald sunshine into dingy places. They must give solace to the affiliated people. They should also give hope unto the despondent and thus ensure a new life unto every one.

Healthy Body has a Healthy Mind

Respected Principal, all the teachers and my dear friends! If we want to have a healthy mind, we need a healthy body first. A sick man cannot enjoy mental health and happiness. He always remains troubled with an ailing disposition. He loses the efficiency to work and becomes an inactive and hopeless person.
On the other hand, the person blessed with strong physique can enjoy not only mental pleasure but also mental and spiritual joys. It is true that health and happiness beget each other. As our mind affects our body, in the same way, our body also influences the mind. Therefore we should be careful about our physical health.

आदरणीय प्रधानाचार्य, शिक्षकगण व मेरे प्रिय मित्रो। एक बीमार व्यक्ति मानसिक रूप से स्वस्थ व प्रसन्न नहीं रह सकता है। वह हमेशा खराब स्वास्थ्य के कारण परेशान रहता है। वह कार्य करने की क्षमता खो देता है और एक निष्क्रिय एवं निराश व्यक्ति बन जाता है। दूसरी ओर, अच्छे शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य वाला व्यक्ति न केवल मानसिक बल्कि आध्यात्मिक रूप से भी आनन्दित रहता है।
यह पूर्णतः सत्य है कि स्वास्थ्य व प्रसन्नता एक-दूसरे पर निर्भर हैं। जिस प्रकार हमारी मनोदशा का प्रभाव हमारे शरीर पर पड़ता है, उसी प्रकार हमारा शरीर भी मन को प्रभावित करता है। इसलिए हमें अपने शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य का ध्यान रखना चाहिए।

Handsome is that Handsome Does

Respected Principal, all the teachers and my dear friends! Who is handsome? One who appears handsome but commits crimes or the one who does not appear so handsome but performs the deeds of social welfare and upliftment. Just think and the answer will come out soon. Ravana was very handsome but no one discusses his appearance.
He is condemned for his bad deeds. Shivaji was not so handsome but he rules over the heart of almost all countrymen. One who does good enjoys fame and love of all public while a handsome criminal resides inside the prison. Thus handsome is that handsome does.

आदरणीय प्रधानाचार्य, शिक्षकगण और मेरे प्रिय मित्रो! सुन्दर कौन है? वह जो दिखने में सुन्दर है और अपराधों में लिप्त है या वह जो दिखने में तो अधिक सुन्दर नहीं है परन्तु समाज के कल्याण एवं उत्थान के लिए कार्य करता है। जरा सोचिए और उत्तर आपको तुरन्त मिल जायेगा। रावण बहुत सुन्दर था परन्तु कोई उसके सुन्दर होने की बात भी नहीं करता है। उसके बुरे कार्यों के लिए उसकी निन्दा होती है।
शिवाजी अधिक सुन्दर नहीं थे परन्तु वह लगभग सभी देशवासियों के हृदय पर राज क़रते हैं। अच्छे कार्य करने वाले को प्रसिद्धि व सभी का प्रेम मिलता है। जबकि सुन्दर अपराधी कारावास में रहता है। इस प्रकारे सुन्दर वह होता है जिसके कार्य सुन्दर होते हैं।

Work is Worship

Respected Principal, all the teachers and my dear friends! Lord Krishna quotes in the Geeta that no man can live without work even for a single moment. Work makes us healthy and active. Work provides us with food, shelter and everything that is needed to live a happy life. One who does his or her duty honestly gets good results.
As is work, so is the result. No work, no achievement. Then why should we not consider our work as the worship of that Almighty? God is Himself busy in handling the universe, then why should we not remain busy in discharging our duties? We should always keep in our mind “Work is Worship”.

आदरणीय प्रधानाचार्य, शिक्षकगण व मेरे प्रिय! मित्रो, गीता में भगवान श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं कि कोई भी मनुष्य एक भी क्षण बिना कोई कार्य किए नहीं रह सकता है। कार्य हमें स्वस्थ एवं सक्रिय बनाती है। कार्य से हमें प्रसन्नतापूर्वक जीवन यापन हेतु भोजन, आवास व आवश्यकता की प्रत्येक वस्तु प्राप्त होती है। अपने कार्य को ईमानदारी से करने पर व्यक्ति को अच्छे परिणाम प्राप्त होते हैं।
जैसा कार्य होता है, वैसा ही उसका परिणाम होता है। कोई कार्य नहीं, तो कोई उपलब्धि नहीं। तो फिर हम अपने कार्य को इस सर्वशक्तिमान् ईश्वर की पूजा क्यों न समझे ? ईश्वर स्वयं भी ब्रह्माण्ड की देखभाल के कार्य में लगा ही है तो फिर हम अपने कर्तव्यपालन में व्यस्त क्यों न रहें? हमें सदा याद रखना चाहिए कि कार्य ही पूजा है।

Importance of Games and Sports

Respected sir and dear classmates, games and sports are not only important for success in studies but these are important for success in every walk of life. In the advanced countries of the present day, games and sports are compulsory features of school and college curriculum. These help us in building good physique and make us mentally alert.
These develop courage and feeling of co-operation when we play in a team before many spectators. Games and sports are so important that every civilized nation spends a large sum of money on improving the standard of games. So every one of us should take part in games for all-round development.

आदरणीय शिक्षक महोदय व प्रिय सहपाठियो, खेलकूद केवल पढ़ाई में सफलता के लिए ही नहीं बल्कि जीवन के प्रत्येक क्षेत्र में सफलता के लिए आवश्यक हैं। वर्तमान समय में विकसित देशों में खेलकूद स्कूल व कॉलेज पाठ्यचर्या के आवश्यक अंग हैं। ये हमें अच्छा शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य बनाने तथा मानसिक सचेतता की स्थिति प्राप्त करने में सहायक होते हैं।
जब हम एक टीम के रूप में दर्शकों के सामने खेलते हैं तो हममें साहस व सहयोग की भावना का विकास होता है। खेलकूद का इतना अधिक महत्व है कि प्रत्येक सभ्य राष्ट्र खेलकूद का स्तर सुधारने के लिए काफी बड़ी धनराशि खर्च करता है। इसलिए हममें से प्रत्येक को सर्वांगीण विकास के लिए खेलों में भाग लेना चाहिए।

Impact of Internet Culture

Respected Sir and dear classmates, the whole world is now in the grip of the internet. It has covered almost every walk of life. Teaching, learning, shopping, entertainment, communication, banking, administration, touring, business etc.: all are running on the back of the internet.

Internet hacking is a big danger to all the bank accounts, personal information, data and secret records which are stored in the software of the computer. Children are becoming internet addict and vulgar videos are ruining their lives.

आदरणीय शिक्षक महोदय व प्रिय सहपाठियो, आज सम्पूर्ण विश्व इण्टरनेट की जकड़ में है। इसने जीवन के लगभग प्रत्येक क्षेत्र पर अधिकार कर लिया है सिखाना, सीखना, खरीददारी करना, मनोरंजन, संचार, बैंकिंग, प्रशासन, घूमना-फिरना, व्यापार : यह सब कुछ इण्टरनेट के आधार पर चल रहा है। किन्तु इण्टरनेट संस्कृति ने गलत पक्षों को भी बढ़ावा दिया है।
यह एक सैकण्ड में किसी व्यक्ति को अपमानित करके उसका जीवन बर्बाद कर सकता है। कम्प्यूटर के सॉफ्टवेयर में संग्रहीत बैंक अकाउण्ट्स सम्बन्धी व व्यक्तिगत सूचना, विवरण व गुप्त अभिलेखों के लिए इण्टरनेट हैकिंग एक बड़ा खतरा है। बच्चे इण्टरनेट के आदी होते जा रहे हैं और अश्लील वीडियो उनका जीवन बर्बाद कर रहे हैं।

Food Adulteration

Respected sir and dear classmates, let us discuss the problem of food adulteration which has become a serious danger for our health. It is, in fact, any undesirable change in the composition of any food item for economic benefit. It brings down the nutritional value of the food and may cause serious health problems in consumers.
There are many mineral oils which when added to food items may cause cancer, paralysis etc. Mixing palm oil in cooking vegetable oils, adding synthetic milk in pure milk have become common. We must take up the necessary steps to prevent food adulteration.

आदरणीय शिक्षक महोदय और प्रिय सहपाठियो, आइये खाद्य पदार्थों में मिलावट की समस्या पर चर्चा करते हैं जो कि हमारे स्वास्थ्य के लिए एक गम्भीर खतरा बन गई है। आर्थिक लाभ के लिए किसी खाद्य पदार्थ के रूप में किसी भी प्रकार का अवांछनीय परिवर्तन करना उसमें मिलावट कहलाता है। इससे भोजन के पोषक तत्व कम हो जाते हैं और उपभोक्ताओं को स्वास्थ्य सम्बन्धी गम्भीर समस्याएं हो सकती हैं।

ऐसे बहुत से खनिज तेल हैं जिन्हें भोज्य पदार्थों में मिला देने से कैन्सर, पक्षाघात इत्यादि बीमारियाँ हो सकती हैं। वनस्पति तेलों में पाम ऑयल मिलाना, शुद्ध दूध में कृत्रिम दूध मिलाना सामान्य हो गया है। हमें खाद्य पदार्थों में मिलावट को रोकने के लिए आवश्यक कदम उठाने होंगे।

The things which should be considered in organizing intramurals are:

• First thing is choosing a particular sport.
• Consider your passionate sport, if you're passionate about that, feel free to run (or skate or jump) with it!
• Determine the size of your program.
• You'll need to locate facilities for practices and games.
• You'll need to determine the fees for renting park space, including the cost for lights.
• Once you calculate the total potential cost of your season split the amount between your teams, which can raise the money through player dues.

Limitations of Controlling:

1. Difficulty in setting quantitative standards:

Control system loses its effectiveness when standard of performance cannot be defined in quantitative terms and it is very difficult to set quantitative standard for human behaviour, efficiency level, job satisfaction, employee’s morale, etc. In such cases judgment depends upon the discretion of manager.

2. No control on external factors:

An enterprise cannot control the external factors such as government policy, technological changes, change in fashion, change in competitor’s policy, etc.

3. Resistance from employees:

Employees often resist control and as a result effectiveness of control reduces. Employees feel control reduces or curtails their freedom. Employees may resist and go against the use of cameras, to observe them minutely.

4. Costly affair:

Control is an expensive process it involves lot of time and effort as sufficient attention has to be paid to observe the performance of the employees. To install an expensive control system organisations have to spend large amount. Management must compare the benefits of controlling system with the cost involved in installing them. The benefits must be more than the cost involved then only controlling will be effective otherwise it will lead to inefficiency.
