Tagore and Gandhi have undoubtedly been the two outstanding and dominating figures of India in
et
the first half of the twentieth century. It is instructive to compare and contrast them. No two persons
could be so different from each other in their make-up or temperature. Tagore, the aristocratic artist,
a n
turned democrat with proletarian sympathies, represented essentially the cultural tradition of India,
.
the tradition of accepting life in the fullness thereof and going through it with song and dance.
Gandhi, more a man of the people, almost the embodiment of the Indian peasant represented the
ibh
other ancient tradition of India, that of renunciation and asceticism. And yet Tagore was primarily
the man of thought, Gandhi of concentrated and ceaseless activity. Both, in their different ways, had
rat
a world outlook, and both were at the same time wholly Indian. They seemed to present different
but harmonious aspects of India and to complement each other.

The poem depicts the narrator's experience. He wants to know what happiness is. He consults
ad
many persons, like professors for the answer. He continues his search for an answer but in rain. The

Jr. INTER ENGLISH
Washington's addresses are very forceful explanations of character building. In this talk, we
describes how people react to an overcast morning. To a person who constantly looks at the dark
side of things in life, the morning appears gloomy, dull and the streets full of muddy water.
Everything looks disagreeable to him. Whereas for a person who perpetually looks at the bright side
of thing in life, the morning appears in the rain drops of the bathed flowers, shrubs and trees. As an

eminent educator, he earnestly appeals the teachers to enable the students in moulding the young

The existing education system is not useful, meaningful. The parents always worry about marks

and ranks of their children. The teachers are unable to guide the student in a proper way. They
u
simply force the learners and put to passing their lives. They should not miss the real meaning of

freedom to the learners to get pleasure by living and experiencing. Further, Rahul says that the

gift which soothes him. He pleads with the fairy to grant him that invaluable gift but in vain. The

One day on his way to school, he saw a very old man walking slowly on the hilly road. The old man
said that he would be so much obliged if Alan could help him to see his home. Alan caught the Old
man's hand and supported him to walk. But the old man was very much weak and fell heavily on
the ground. At last, a kind hearted policeman took the old man to the destination. Alan reached his

How did the three brothers try to outsmart one another?
The short story the short sighted brother is a folklore, creates interest in reading with gripping

narration and excites the reader thoroughly. The three aged brothers were short-sighted both
a
physically and mentally. They were selfish and greedy. The younger brother proposed to manage
bh
their financial activities by citing the elder brother's weakness. All of them are defective, yet, each
tried to outsmart the other. They planned to test their own vision by reading the inscription above

the door way of a nearby monastery. So, they met a mark secretly and separately to know what was
a
written on the tablet. 'Be honest all times' was the quotation written on it. They pretended that they
r
were reading the inscription with their own eyes. Then the monk revealed them that the tablet was
up
not put up yet! At last the brothers realized their foolishness. Each wanted to fool other but in the

Read the following paragraph and transfer the

The oldest musical instrument in the world is the
drum mode initially in one of three ways. First frame
drums were made by stretching the skin over
bowl-shaped frames. Next, rattle drums were made
by filling gourds or skins with dried grains, shells or
rocks. Finally, tubular drums were made from
hollowed logs or bones covered with skins. Both
frame and tubular drums were stuck with the hand or
with beaters to produce sounds. In contrast, rattle
drums were shaken or scraped to make rhythmic
sounds. For thousands of years, drums have been
used to transmit messages to call soldiers to battle
them make music.
