Read the following passage and answer the questions (136-141):

What have I learnt after eighty years on planet earth? Quite frankly, very little. I don’t believe the elders and
philosophers. Wisdom does not come with age. Maybe it is born in the cradle – but this too is conjecture, I
only know that for the most part I have followed instinct rather than intelligence, and this has resulted in a
modicum of happiness. You will find your own way to this reward which is in the end the only reward worth
having.

To have got to this point in life without the solace of religion says something for all the things that have brought
me joy and a degree of contentment. Books, of course; I couldn’t have survived without books and stories.
And companionship – which is sometimes friendship, sometimes love and sometimes, if we are lucky, both.
And a little light laughter, a sense of humour. And, above all, my relationship with the natural world – up here
in the hills; in the dusty plains; in a treeless mohalla choked with concrete flats, where I once found a marigold
growing out of a crack in a balcony. I removed the plaster from the base of the plant, and filled in a little earth
which I watered every morning. The plant grew, and sometimes it produced a little orange flower which I
plucked and gave away before it died. This much I can tell you: for all its hardships and complications, life is
simple. And a nature that doesn’t sue for happiness often receives it in large measure.

Was it accidental, or was it ordained or was it in my nature to arrive unharmed at this final stage of life’s
journey? I live this life passionately, and I wish it could go on and on. But all good things must come to an
end, and when the time comes to make my exit, I hope I can do so with good grace and humour. But there is
time yet, and many small moments to savour.A small ginger cat arrives on my terrace every afternoon, to curl
up in the sun and slumber peacefully for a couple of hours. When he awakes, he gets on his feet with minimum
effort, arches his back and walks away as he had come. The same spot every day, the same posture, the
same pace. There may be better spots – sunnier, quieter, frequented by birds that can be hunted when the
cat is rested and restored. But there is no guarantee, and the search will be never-ending, and there may
rarely be time to sleep after all that searching and finding.

It occurs to me that perhaps the cat is a monk. By this I do not mean anything austere. I doubt anyone in
single minded pursuit of enlightenment ever finds it. A good monk would be a mild sort of fellow, a bit of a
sensualist, capable of compassion for the world, but also for himself. He would know that it is all right not to

climb every mountain. A good monk would know that contentment is easier to attain than happiness, and that
is enough. And what of happiness, then? Happiness is a mysterious thing, to be found somewhere between
too little and too much. But it is as elusive as a butterfly, and we must never pursue it. If we stay very still, it
may come and settle on our hand. But only briefly. We must savour those moments, for they will not come
our way very often.

HISTORY OF LIBRARY

A library's collection can include books, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents,
l as
l as
microform, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, e-books, audiobooks, databases, and other
formats. In Latin and Greek, the idea of a bookcase is represented by Bibliotheca and Bibliothēkē respectively.
ag
ag
Derivatives of these mean library in many modern languages, e.g. French bibliothèque.

The first libraries consisted of archives of the earliest form of writing the clay tablets in cuneiform script
discovered in temple rooms in Sumer, some dating back to 2600 BC. These archives, which mainly consisted
of the records of commercial transactions or inventories, mark the end of prehistory and the start of history.
Things were much the same in the government and temple records on papyrus of Ancient Egypt. The earliest
discovered private archives were kept at Ugarit; besides correspondence and inventories, texts of myths may
have been standardized practice-texts for teaching new scribes. There is also evidence of libraries at Nippur
about 1900 BC and those at Nineveh about 700 BC showing a library classification system. Over 30,000 clay
tablets from the Library of Ashurbanipal have been discovered at Nineveh, providing modern scholars with an

m
amazing wealth of Mesopotamian literary, religious and administrative work. Among the findings were the

.co
Enuma Elish, also known as the Epic of Creation, which depicts a traditional Babylonian view of creation, the
Epic of Gilgamesh, a large selection of "omen texts" including Enuma Anu Enlil which "contained omens
e m
dealing with the moon, its visibility, eclipses, and conjunction with planets and fixed stars, the sun, its corona,
as
spots, and eclipses, the weather, namely lightning, thunder, and clouds, and the planets and their visibility,
l
ag
appearance, and stations", and astronomic/astrological texts, as well as standard lists used by scribes and
scholars such as word lists, bilingual vocabularies, lists of signs and synonyms, and lists of medical diagnoses.
According to legend, mythical philosopher Laozi was keeper of books in the earliest library in China, which
belonged to the Imperial Zhou dynasty. Also, evidence of catalogues found in some destroyed ancient libraries
illustrates the presence of librarians.
