Once Rabindranath composed many songs on account of ceremony. The great saint was in Chuchura then. The poet was called in there. The sage said, "The kings would give prizes to the poets if they could realize the country's voice and appreciation of the literature. I had to do it because there was no possibility from the king." After telling such, he gave a note of five hundred rupees to him. Though there was no possibility from the king of giving prizes, he was awarded by the noble committee later. It was great as the worth of royal reward. He had been worshiped as a world poet which could not be measured in terms of gold and silver. agai: afer a1 aA STC OA, MIS OMA ATMS GAGE | ATS CHI BOS Gover SATA ACHAEA AI aoa wratacaa | Tahe weet fara PSH | Ra Cle eA ORICA | CuTSAMnICe Racer aPice FA AEA they a AB eC RS ATATATA | TA CATR HEL ACH, “CACM ST UH CHC STAT G ALROTA GMAT FANG UA ofc wrat aerate ftw | aera FS CCS TA CH ASTI HS SAA CUS CF PIT ATS LA” 1 AC FSA Trot Brera aR CBE ALATA IOS HCATA | tata free cences Ca aparece Hwan otf Pera, 1 ara Fe vic afer Pecata ee Cores area Sa ee, Fs reneRerC al Ca AT OPT CoMTAICRAY, ICR CHTATRT OA FEFELS wera FA A AL SI CST!

The labour market shows two clear gender characteristics. First, women rarely take over men’s job by undercutting them. Men, too, despite high unemployment, do not usually undercut women, The terms of competition in this labour market a ¢ somewhat differently determined. The gender composition ofa work force is primarily subject to male decision-making. Male workers exert control over women’s labour through famiiar relationship (wife/daughter) and acquire flexibility for jobs that are lucrati such Mexibility is desired, Employers can not use women workers to undercut overly ng male labour by direet replacement, Also, men resist ‘women’s job*, However, if the terms of the jobs improve men do lay claim to women’s job.

Some lost their sons, some their fathers and some their husbands and these men would not find time enough for a word of farewell or of consolation before their death. A dark mantle of grief fell upon the mansions that once reserved with shouts of joy. In these dark days the only comfort the Indians had was that they had Sri Krishna. He was like the spring of joy, his glory was sung everywhere. He went and a wave of joy passed through the place. But in course of time Sri Krishna put an end to His earthly existence. Unable to bear separation from Him, the five Pandava brothers also made their last journey. The light of India was out. [PSC (Misc) Exam, 2007] THA : TATA : 30.

The art of printing has conferred untold benefits to the human race. It has enlarged the boundaries of knowledge and led to the discovery of many of the most important laws of nature. Almost every adult now learns to read and write, and education lias become so general that even children now know facts which were hidden from the wisest of our ancestors, Printing was orginally invented by the Chinese. But they made no progress in the art, so that China derived less benefit from the discovery than Europe, where it was made much later. Before the invention of this art, writing was very laborious and so books were rare, But the art of printing has made enormous progress, so that what once took weeks to print can now be produced in a few hours.

We can all be truthful, humble and obedient. These are the greatest things in life because without them the world will never be happier.
