The poet draws parallel between rain and music |
| Answer» 3. The lines, “I am the Poem of Earth”, said by the voice of the rain, reflects a connection between rain and poetry. This connection becomes more conspicuous in the final two lines, “(For song, issuing from its birth-place, after fulfillment, wandering Reck’d or unreck’d, duly with love returns)”. In these lines, the poet draws similarities between rain and music observing that the life-cycle of rain and song are alike. The song issues from the heart of the poet and travels to reach others. It wanders and, whether heard and enjoyed or not, eventually returns to its creator with all due love. Similarly, rain originates from the earth, and after fulfilling its role of spreading beauty and purity, returns to its origin. Both are perpetual in nature. Moreover, the sound of the soft-falling rain is in itself a kind of music. | |

Discuss the relevance of the title the portrait of a lady (150words) |
| Answer» The story The Portrait of the Lady by Khushwant Singh revolves around the story of the author and his relationship with his grandmother. The author\'s mother was a deeply religious woman who was very kind hearted. She epitomised purity and peace of mind which is very well written as an expanse of pure white serenity. Though she wasn\'t beautiful physically, she possessed deep spiritual beauty. She took great delight in feeding birds and animals.The story begins with the narrator describing how old his grandmother was. The thought of the authors old grandmother being young and pretty, in early years of her life, raised a conflict in the mind of the author. Her hair was white as snow and she had a little stoop in her back.When Singh was a child and his parents were away he was brought up by his grandmother who used to wake him up and get him ready for school. While performing this daily chore, she used to sing prayers which she wanted him to learn by heart but in vain. She would walk with him to and from his school. On their way back, they would throw chappatis to the village dogs.When his parents settled in the city Singh went to stay in the city with her. This was a turning point in the relationship he shared with her. He disliked many things taught in the school. She could no longer help him with his lessons. A small gap had developed between them which wasn\'t very prominent. She didn\'t accompany him to school any long. | |

Debate writing on the topic "All people should have universal basic income." |
|
Answer» THE PULSEIndia’s Universal Basic Income DebateA closer look at a controversial issue.By\xa0Ibu Sanjeeb GargFebruary 01, 2017Credit:\xa0Flickr/ Nicolas MirguetADVERTISEMENTIndia has always firmly held its ground as a welfare state. Since independence the country has undertaken\xa0projects aimed at\xa0improving the health, nutrition, and education levels of\xa0its citizens. Such projects have included a heavy dose\xa0of direct government intervention, in the form of Direct Benefit Transfer subsidies and others. A paradigm shift in Indian welfare came\xa0in 2006 when the government launched the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, later called MNREGA. In this scheme people from the rural areas were offered a guaranteed 100\xa0days of wage employment for Indians in rural areas. While the jury is still out on how MNREGA has changed the rural landscape, it cannot be denied that some areas have indeed prospered with the implementation of the\xa0scheme.It is against this\xa0backdrop of history that the question of Universal Basic Income in India must be addressed. Universal Basic Income or UBI essentially means that each citizen would be given a certain amount of money as income on a yearly basis. Such ideas are being discussed because new disruptions in the global economy, like migration and automation, threaten to take away traditional wages from a large number of citizens. The idea of implementing UBI in India has caught the imagination of policy analysts and general observers alike since the announcement by the chief economic advisor that there is a plan to devote a chapter to UBI in the forthcoming economic survey. While some commentators have opined that it would indeed be a welcome step, others have reasoned that the same would result in a further fiscal burden on the already weakened Indian economy. Income |

Note Making of Poem A Photograph |
| Answer» Photograph by Shirley Toulson is a tender yet a jolting piece that revolves around the universal theme of loss and separation – an inevitable reality that is a common lot of mankind. Through the stock symbol of a photograph, evoked in many literary pieces to denote nostalgia and remembrance, the poet articulates the void she feels upon having made uncomfortable peace with her mother’s death. The poem is tender because of the heart-touching manner in which it has expressed nostalgia born of loss to the passage of time and the final rest; the jolting attribute comes from the harsh message it sends across about how humans can never be entirely adept at accepting irreversible separation from a loved one. | |

How did the narrator and the old members react to the presence of water in the ship? |
| Answer» Though water in the ship can be a cause of extreme panic, but the neither narrator nor any of his family members panicked. It could be owing to the sixteen years long training they had undertaken before setting off to the voyage. The author was really a great captain whose timely decisions helped them survive through the stormy ordeal. It was such a wise decision on his part to hire two professionals, Larry Vigil and Herb Seigler, to help them tackle the Southern Indian Ocean. They proved to be real saviours when the ship had been flooded with the sea water. They pumped like madmen to keep the water levels reasonably low. Even author and his wife lent a helping hand to them. The most amazing reaction was that of the kids. They showed such a courage during those hard times as is rare to be seen of children of that age. This courage of the kids motivated the author to figure out survival strategies for the entire crew. And ultimately they made it to Ile Amsterdam, a French scientific base. | |

Central idea of a photograph. |
|
Answer» The\xa0central idea\xa0of the poem is that man is a mortal and has a transitory relationship to his surroundings. There are moments of happiness and joy. One experiences loss at various stages of life. The poet describes a photograph that captures interesting moments of her mother’s childhood when she went for a sea holiday with her two cousins. Poet draws a contrast between the sea in which the girls are standing and their transient feet to suggest shortness of human life and slow changing sea Poet also recollects how her mother would have laughed at the photograph and felt disappointed at the loss of her childhood joys. Poet’s mother has been dead for twelve years. In this situation she feels very sad and lonely. This loss has left her speechless. But she has learned to reconcile with this loss with great difficulty.It throws light on the childhood of the poet\'s mother. She led a very beautiful and adventurous childhood. At the age of twelve she used to pass her sea holiday with her girl\'s cousins walking in shallow water at the beach. She wore very attractive and colourful dresses befitting the place and occasion.The poem ends with a fact that everything changes with time. Some changes are taken as loss and make us unhappy. Photographs reflect the changes. Happiness and beauty are lost with the passage of time. They make the people sad and distorted. Change is the law of nature. Everything changes with time like physical beauty of a human being but natural beauty like beauty of a sea or mountains remains forever. |
