such martyrs, my fellow activists across the world and my countrymen.
My journey from the great land of Lord Buddha, Guru Nanak
and Mahatma Gandhi; India to Norway is a connect between the two
centres of global peace and brotherhood, ancient and modern.
Friends, the Nobel Committee has generously invited me to
present a “lecture.” Respectfully, I am unable to do that. Because, I
am representing here — the sound of silence. The cry of innocence.
And, the face of invisibility. I represent millions of those children who
are left behind and that’s why I have kept an empty chair here as
a reminder.
I have come here only to share the voices and dreams of our
children – because they are all our children – (gesture to everyone in
the audience). I have looked into their frightened and exhausted eyes.
I have held their injured bodies and felt their broken spirits.

powder, mixture, herb and hybrid.

I watched the flame feeding on my mother.

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by Thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
— Rabindranath Tagore

(iii) The traditional material used for rangoli is ................................. .
(iv) Nowadays ....................................... is used for making Rangoli.
The term RANGOLI is derived from ‘Rang’ (colour) + ‘aavalli’
(row of colours). Rangoli is an age old traditional folk art done across
India. The term rangoli refers to designs made with coloured powders
on the ground in front of the house. In some parts of the country, the
Page 14
13/N 815
designs are done on walls and even on ceilings. The designs vary in
different parts of India but the basic methodology remains the same
in all the areas. The designs are mostly geometric and symmetrical,
while some natural elements like flowers, birds etc. may be included.
The rural and urban women of India have kept this art alive
by passing the expertise down through the generations. These are
decorative designs made on floors at the time of Hindu festivals.
Traditionally, such floor decorations were done only on auspicious
occasions or festivals. But today they are done on any occasions like;
wedding, birthday parties, opening ceremonies etc. Different Indian states
have different ways of Rangoli-painting and also have different names
in their regional or local languages. For example :
Maharashtra — Rangoli
Tamil Nadu — Kolam
Uttar Pradesh — Chowkpurna
Andhra Pradesh — Mugullu
The traditional material used for rangoli is rice flour so as to
offer food to the ants, the birds and the squirrels. Even coloured rice
P.T.O.
Page 15

can be used for the purpose. It is pretty simple to get rice coloured
with food colours readily available in the market.

Q.6 (A) Information Transfer. 5
A1. Verbal to Non-Verbal :
Read the following information given in the paragraph and
complete the tree diagram.
Soil erosion, a major environmental hazard today is caused by
both natural and man-made factors. Soil erosion is caused by
unobstructed over flow and the flow of running water which carry
away the topmost layer of the soil. Forest fires which destroy the roots
of the plants which bind the soil together and lead to erosion.
Page 18
17/N 815
The effects of soil erosion are flood, drought etc. As the vital
nutrients of soil get wasted away, the soil turns barren. Soil erosion
can be prevented by construction of dams, bunds etc. Afforestation
helps to prevent soil erosion as tree holds the soil together with their
roots. Improved method of agriculture such as contour ploughing also
help checking soil erosion.

her Bholi the simpleton.
She was the fourth daughter of Numberdar Ramlal. When she was ten months
old, she had fallen off the cot on her head and perhaps it had damaged some
part of her brain. That was why she remained a backward child and came to
be known as Bholi, the simpleton.
At birth the child was very fair and pretty. But when she was two years
old, she had an attack of smallpox. Only the eyes were saved. But the entire
P.T.O.
Page 25
4/N 816
body was permanently disfigured by deep black pockmarks. Little Sulekha could
not speak till she was five and when at last she learnt to speak, she stammered.
The other children often made fun of her and mimicked her. As a result, she
talked very little.
Ramlal had seven children, three sons and four daughters and the youngest
of them was Bholi. It was a prosperous farmer’s household and there was plenty
to eat and drink. All the children except Bholi were healthy and strong.
A2. Arrange the following sentences in the correct order of occurrence : (2)

Swami and Friends is written in such simple English it is hard to imagine
that it is a work of such a literary genius like R. K. Narayan. The English used
in the book is both plain and simple, without any troubling words for the kids.
Also the use of simple and short sentences adds to the simplicity of the book.
It is mentioned in the description that the book is about a mischievous ten
year old Indian boy, and some parents may be concerned about the influence
P.T.O.
Page 27
6/N 816
this will have on their already mischievous children. But the book is as such,
that it encompasses the mischief of the kids in a view of the kid which is harmless
and pure in his perspective. Also amidst all the mischief and naughtiness, we
actually find that Swami is a loving and a tender kid who’s actually very sensitive.
It is also a known fact that mischievous kids are the most sensitive and loving
people of all. And R.K. Narayan does a great job conveying that to all of us.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
