Unforgettable Walt Disney [Unit-2, Read-1]

My brother Walt is no more, yet his influence lingers like a living presence over the
studio where he turned out the cartoons, nature films and feature movies that made him
known and loved around the world. Even now, I walked around the studio crew, I half
expect to encounter that tall, country-boy figure, head bowed in thought about some new
project. Walt was so much the driving force behind all we did, from making movies to
building Disneyland, that people constantly mention his name as if he were still alive.

For years, Walt had quietly nursed the dream of a new kind of amusement park. It would
be potpourri of all the ideas conjured up by his fertile imagination. But the idea of
sinking millions of dollars into an amusement park, even Walt’s kind of amusement
park seemed so preposterous that he wouldn’t mention it to anyone. He just quietly
began planning.

As far back as I can remember, Walt was drawing, the first money he ever made was a
nickel for sketch of a neighbour’s horse. He studied cartooning in Chicago, and then

Once Roy Edward had the measles, Walt came and told him the story of Pinocchio.
Young Roy was so wide eyed at Walt’s graphic telling of the fairy tale that he forgot all
about his measles. Later, when he saw the finished picture, he was strangely
disappointed. “It didn’t seem as exciting as when Uncle Walt told it”, he said.

The overwhelming success of Walt’s “crazy idea” triggered a dramatic about-face in the
Disney fortunes. Yet success never changed Walt. He remained the simplest of men. He
hated parties, and his idea of a night out was a burger and chilly at some little restaurant.
His only extravagance was a miniature railroad that ran around the grounds of his home.

his stubborn determination to realize an idea he believed in. For years, Walt had quietly

He just quietly began planning. As usual, though, he infused all of us with his own
enthusiasm when he finally told us about the project. Someone asked, “Walt, how
should the Disneyland look?” Quick came reply, “it should look like nothing else on this
earth.” Predictably, we had trouble raising money, but Disneyland did open in July
1955.

Manage Your Stress [Unit-3, Read-1]

Mind, emotions and body are all closely interlinked and always work together. It helps
you distinguish them more clearly if you try to understand them separately. Your mental
capacities are your abilities to concentrate, to take in new information, to remember old
and new information and to be in a position to think logically.

2. What do you mean by ‘mental abilities’?
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________

The mind is the rational, logical part of you that helps you to make unemotional choices,
to store and retrieve information and to order and calculate. It is the counterpart to the
emotions. A good example of the interaction between mind and emotions is exam
nerves. Your mental capacity has helped you retain what you have revised- you ‘know
your stuff’ but when you enter the exam room and start getting emotional by expecting
difficulties and imaging failure, all of a sudden the carefully stored information is no
longer available.

1. What is our mind, according to the writer?

2. How do emotions sometimes fail our mental capacity?

When tasks and pleasure start building up, the mind can sometimes go into over thinking
and you come to the though, I wish there was a switch in my head that I could flick and
turn off all the thoughts going around in my mind” it is not that easy. There is a
technique to help you during the problem of over thinking. Say to yourself repeatedly
during the day. “I have no expectations and I will deal with whatever happens when it
happens.

When emotions have taken you over, it becomes nearly impossible to think clearly.
Then it becomes very easy to make unwise decisions or to agree to something which is
not to your advantage. The Screen Exercise shows you how to step back and
emotionally detach yourself from your current situation so that you can see more clearly
what is going on.

When life becomes too hectic, we can end up feeling mentally tied in knots. Nothing
seems easy and positive. Pessimism sets in and we cannot see a way out of our current
problems. We can open a source of optimism with the technique of anticipating success.

 Settle back in a chair and close your eyes.

 Experience with all your senses what it feels like to have achieved something and
enjoy the resulting feelings of relief and elation.
 Hang on to the positive feelings and bring them back with you into the here and now.
 Open your eyes again.

 Stress Control Exercises [Unit-3, Read-2]

Half the problem with being stressed and unable to concentrate properly is that you
don’t breathe deeply enough to supply your brain with sufficient oxygen. When we get
stressed, we tend to hold our breath or only breathe in a shallow way, using only the top
part of our lungs. In order to deepen your breathing and get oxygen all the way up into
the brain.

When we breathe, there is a microscope movement of the carnival bones which in turn
allows the cerebrospinal fluid to move freely through the spinal column and the skull.
When tensed of upset and don’t breathe deeply enough, this can result in bones in the
skull becoming slightly stuck together so that the fluid cannot circulate properly.

 The Adjustment [Unit-4, Read-1]
It was a mistake not to take Nana, our grandfather, to the funeral of our grandmother,
our Nani. ‘Go, take her away… whisper into her ears that I too am on the way, not far
behind; tell her I will see her in the beyond.’

1. Whom does the author talk about?

2. What was the mistake according to the author?
3. What had Nana suffered from?

He must have been what, about eighty-five, and yet he would find something to grumble
at everything Nani did. He would keep quibbling with her, as if they were two people
who had just married in the first flush of love and were still discovering each other. At
times a petty quarrel would push them into long silence. They would stop talking to each
other for days together. When we would try to intervene, all Nana would quip, ‘it
happens, son; it happens… it takes time to adjust to each other.’

1. Who was about eighty-five?

____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
2. What did petty quarrels between Nana and Nani result into?
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________

I had a friend, Dr K. D. Kamble, a psychiatrist. I called him over. He talked to Nana at

length- for hours. Most of the time, Nana kept quiet. He did not answer most of the Dr
Kamble’s queries. But when he did, he spoke like Nana normally did and his own voice.

When Nana left, Dr Kamble said, “He does not perceive your Nani as dead. He began to
live a double life. In fact there is more of her and less of him. He has begun to think of
himself as Nani. Whatever happens, it happens to her. She is the one who needs to be
fed. She is the one feels thirsty. She is the one who feels the pain. And it is he who takes
the medicines. He only swallows the pills on her behalf.”

I drove the good doctor back to his home. He said that Nana was suffering from a sort of
dissociative personality disorder. The condition was little understood, he said, and there
was no sure cure for it. He said, ‘We will keep at it, do our best. But at your Nana’s age,
that kind of recovery is nearly impossible.”

quite unburdened by what Dr. Kamble had said, a lot less worried. I thought the way
Nana had made his adjustment with Nani; we should do it.

Ants [Unit-5, Read-1]

At some points where it was difficult to get a foot hold, these other ants would position
themselves in such a way that the ants carrying the loads could easily climb over them.
Near the top of the pit, however, there was a small part of the way which was
completely smooth and steep. Here there were no footholds. The ants came up to these
points and there their progress stopped.

The ants at the top began climbing down into the pit backward, each holding the tail end
of another ant in front. In this way an ant- chain was soon formed which slowly dropped
down the stepped side. When it reached the ants waiting with their loads, they easily
climbed up the chain and came out at the top.

Such behavior, showing the adeptness of ants, has been noticed and studied by many.
Now science has discovered some things about ant life which seem to show that the
intelligence of these tiny creatures is very close to human intelligence. Not all scientists
concede to this view, but you may look at some of these facts and form your own
opinion.

Then there are the ants that domesticate ‘cows’ and ‘milk’ them! What we have called
‘cows’ are a kind of greenfly. These are found on rose leaves and on the leaves of beans.
They give out a sweet, honey-like liquid which the ants relish a lot. So the ants take
greenflies to their nests and keep them. They feed them, protect them from their enemies
and ‘milk’ them; pressing their sides gently and making them give out their honey.

1. Why do the ants take greenflies to their nests?

____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________

They are called by that name because they are often seen carrying large pieces of leaf
over their heads like umbrellas. They take these pieces of leaf to their nests, where they
chew them up nicely. Afterwards they make beds of these chewed-up leaves. On these
beds grows a kind of fungus which is the food of ants.

1. Why are they called Umbrella ants?

There are ants that keep other ants as slaves. One such type is a powerful red ant which
is found in Europe. Their slaves are taken from a type of black ant which is smaller in
size. When the red ants want slaves, they ambush the nests of the black ants and abduct
some of their eggs.

The most ferocious kind of ants is the drivers’ ants of Africa. They have no fixed home
but are always on the move. They are completely blind, but they march in long lines,
many millions along, and they devour any animal that happens to be in their path. Even
large animals like tigers and elephants live in fear of them.

Strike Against War [Unit-6]

To begin with, I have a word to say to my good friends, the editors, and others who are

abolished the slums. They saw to it that all the people had at least a few of the essentials
of civilization: decent lodging, clean streets, wholesome if scanty food, proper medical

Sergeant showed them a dried monkey’s paw which has a spell put on it. Morris said,
“An old Fakir put a spell on it and now it is a talisman. He was a very holy man and he
wanted to show that fate ruled people’s lives, and that to interfere with fate, only caused
deep sadness. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could have three wishes
each from it.” “It would bring a disaster” continued Sergeant “It has caused enough
trouble already” and threw the paw upon the fire.

punished for no real reason. Eventually Nealy sold her to a fisherman who owned a
tavern in Kingston, NY. Here she acquired the idiomatic expressions which came to

think is an unfair and undesirable practice). We disliked this hour. On the drill ground
almost all appeared to be afflicted with ‘Splitting headache, Sir,’ and our frill instructor
put an end to it by decreeing one day, ‘Those suffering from headache will hold up their
arms.’ It raised our hopes, but he added, ‘Since I wish to detain them for some special

It is important for all of us to think in terms of first reducing our emissions of CO2 or
Carbon Footprints. The carbon footprint is a subset of the ecological footprint. A carbon
footprint is the total set of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event,
product or person. Greenhouse gases can be emitted through transport, land clearance,
and production and consumption of food, fuels, manufactured goods, materials, wood,
roads, buildings, and services. For simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in terms
of the amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other GHGs, emitted.

Positive Effects of Love

1) What will be the immediate result of love?
2) What will be the feelings one will have after in love?
3) How is his/her personality changed?
4) What love changes to a loving person’s face?
Answer: Love is called freeware. It has the power to win hearts. It is said that if you
love others, others will love you. If the heart is not free from vices, love will never be
installed successfully. One should throw away GRUDGE, RESENTMENT, and
PASTHURT to install love in heart. There are various modules of love. To experience
the various modules of love, one should show eagerness to love others. Low thinking
and negative energy can become hurdle while installing love. Love is therefore installed
with positive feeling. One should begin connecting to other hearts in order to get
upgrades. It is advised to love yourself before you love others.
_________________________________________________________________
Conditions for Making Love
1) What is love?
2) Is there any condition in love?
3) What should we forget to love others?
4) What are the hurdles of love?
5) Is sharing of love good or bad?
Answer: The read ‘Can You Install Love?’ is about love and its effect. It is a very
positive feeling. It is freeware. If you want to love someone, you will have to love
yourself first. If you want love, there is a condition. When you start loving, you will
naturally forget PAST HURT which is an obstacle for love. You must remove LOW
ESTEEM from your life. You must be free from GRUDGE as it is a negative feeling.
You must be free from a feeling of anger. You should remove all these negative
feelings. You should have quality of FORGIVENESS. It has very positive effect in
your life. Love will make you smile. You can experience peace and contentment. You
should share love with others and in turn they will share fresh modules of love with
you.

surrounded by negative energy and thus we are not able to think clearly. We can’t even
decide what to do. There are many techniques which may help to reduce stress. ‘Short

help us to reduce stress. We should try to see the positive aspects of life. Stressful
person cannot make good imagination. He can’t work properly. We should regularly
spare sometime for such techniques which mean a lot in our life. We should learn to
breathe deeply because most of the problems of being stressed are due to our shallow
way of breathing. It is always remembered that mind, emotions and body are in
balanced mode. Use such technique which suits you most and try to be in positive state
of mind.

1) How did Nana behave with Nani?

2) How did Nani adjust with Nana?
3) What was Nana’s condition after Nani’s death?
4) What happed to Nana?
5) How did the family adjust with Nana?

Answer: ‘The Adjustment’ is a heart touching story of Nana and Nani. In this story by
Gulzar, an adjustment is shown between typical old couple. Nana and Nani lived
together more than fifty years yet there was no adjustment between them. Many a time,
they quarrelled with each other and stopped talking for days. Nani died earlier than
Nana. After her death, Nana started behaving strangely. He was not ready to accept
Nani as dead. Dr. Kamble said that Nana was suffering from Dissociative Personality
Disorder. Nana started doing everything that Nani used to do. Many incidents were
noted by the writer in which it was proved that Nana lived like Nani. It was Nana’s
strange adjustment in absence of Nani. Thus, the title seems to be the most appropriate.

Ankur Patel (9624821126) Nayan Suthar (9714142847)
Answer: Ant is called the most intelligent creature among all. Science has discovered
some things about ant life which seem that the intelligence of this tiny creature is close
to human creature. Ants work together. They have deep understanding and adeptness.
They do not allow anyone to be lazy. Like human, the ants do farming and domesticate
cows for milk. There are ants which play game, nurse their sick and bury their dead.
There are ants which keep other ants as slaves. The black ants are compelled to

3) Who are the most selfish and unselfish?
4) How do the masters behave with workers?
5) What guarantee should be given to the workers and families?
6) What did Helen Keller want from the workers to do?

Answer: Helen Keller was one of those prominent writers who changed the straight
ideology of world. ‘Strike Against War’ is a speech delivered by Helen Keller. It is
about the condition of the workers. The writer addressed the workers saying that their
masters are their real enemies. She said that the masters put the workers into the danger
for their own selfishness. Helen Keller said that the workers were the most unselfish
who worked constantly even at low wages. The workers were so blind and obedient that
they were ready to take any risk for their masters. They were even ready to such ideas
which were not factual. In this speech, Helen Keller explained the workers to blow their
voice to their masters. She said that they must not be ready to fight and put themselves
into unknown danger. The workers must have their own desires and demands. She
wanted the workers to demand the security and guarantee for their children and wives
from the masters. At last, she said that the workers should strike against war where
there was no security of their lives.

2) What is to be free?
3) What kinds of persons are free?
4) For what does our education system encourage us?
5) What should be the real function of education?
6) Where does the real freedom exist?

easy to understand it. He explains, to watch something beautiful, we must have a free
mind. The free mind must be free from preoccupations. Freedom implies great
intelligence. Freedom is a state of mind in which there is no fear or compulsion.
Freedom means not following someone. The real function of education is to help us
from childhood not to imitate anybody. We must develop our own observation power.
True freedom does not lie in following the authority, the tradition, the parents, the
teachers, the elders and the religions. But, true freedom lies in understanding what we
are from moment to moment. Understanding of yourself may lead you to experience
true freedom. To cultivate such freedom is the real function of freedom.

Read the following passages and write its summary. Also suggest a suitable
title to them:
The proverb ‘action speaks louder than words’ holds true. In a given situation, even if
you do not communicate verbally, your body speaks by revealing your feelings and
emotions. Certain messages are better conveyed through your body language. Body
language and non-verbal communication go hand in hand.

Body language is an integral (fundamental) part of the selection criteria at a job

interview. A candidate may not be aware that there is someone among the interview the
panel who is studying his/her body language. Body is read by observing the body
posture (pose), the eye movements and the rhythm of breathing. One of the skills a
human resource manager should possess is the ability to read the body language. This
would help him while conducting interviews or imparting training to employees.
Reading body language is a skill that could be acquired through training and practice.

There is the greatest difference in the world between conquering by power, and
conquering by kindness. The former is like building a dam across a stream of water. It
may stop its flow for a little while, but presently the dam will give way, and then the
stream will rush on with more force and fury than ever. Conquering by power is like
chaining a lion; conquering by kindness keeps the lion from doing harm, by changing
his nature, and turning him into a lamb.

There was a king. If anyone committed a serious crime in the kingdom, the king did not
condemn to death. Instead the criminal would be taken to a large arena. All the people
would come to see the show. In the arena there were two doors. Behind one door, there
was a fierce and hungry tiger. Behind the other door, there was a beautiful young girl.
The man would not know which door was which. He would have to choose one of the
doors. If he chose well, he had to marry the girl. If he chose badly, the tiger would eat
him.
The king had a beautiful daughter. One day he found that she had fallen in love with a
poor young soldier in his army. The king was very angry. The soldier was arrested and
taken to the arena.

automatically start feeling better as if makes us feel good almost instantly. Chances are
that we shall be slouched over with our shoulders dropping down and inward. This
collapses the best and inhabits good breathing, which in turn can make us feel nervous
or uncomfortable.

Head position is a great one to play around with, with one self and others. When we
want to feel confident and self assured, keep the head level both horizontally as well as
vertically. One also uses this straight head position when one wants to be authoritative
and what he is playing to be taken seriously.

Orphaned (lost his parents) at a very young age, Salim was bought up by his maternal
uncle. As a child, Salim Ali was given an expensive air gun as a present and spent all
his time shooting sparrows around the house. One day he noticed that one of the
sparrows he had shot at had a yellow throat. He couldn’t hold his curiosity and
approached his uncle. His uncle who was equally clueless took him to the Bombay
Natural History Society (BNHS) in the hope of finding an answer. There, the honorary
secretary, W.S. Milliard also told him about the variety of sparrows. That day, Salim
decided to he was going to be an ornithologist.

After Ladakh, Anti-China Protests and Calls to Boycott Goods across India

Calls to boycott China-made goods have erupted across India after 20 soldiers died in a
violent face-off with Chinese troops in Ladakh's Galwan valley late Monday night. The
protesters have also demanded revenge and severing of trade ties.

According to reports people have burnt the Chinese flag, China-made products and
effigies of President Xi Jinping; a video from Uttar Pradesh showed a former MLA
attacking a mock-up of Mr. Jinping with an axe before it is burned by his supporters.

In Delhi the RWA (Residents Welfare Association) of Defence Colony, a posh

neighbourhood in the southern part of the city, has "declared war on China". Anti-China
protests also took place in UP's Varanasi, which is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's
constituency, while protests were also seen in Patna in Bihar and across Gujarat, where
too photos of President Jinping were burned. Similar protests, led by outfits like the
Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Rashtriya Bajrang Dal, broke out at several places across
the Jammu region, but were peacefully dispersed after burning tyres and blocking roads

Rebuilding Lives: An Initiative to Rehabilitate Migrant Workers Affected

By COVID-19 Lockdown
Around 40 million migrant daily-waged workers have been hit hard by COVID-19. As
they reach home enduring unprecedented ordeals, they face the risk of hunger,
indebtedness and prolonged unemployment. Their families face high infection risk and
their children, particularly girls, the loss of learning.

While the need of the hour is for immediate relief to serve urgent needs, equal attention
is required towards a sustainable and resilient rebuilding of lives through a multi-
pronged response, addressing health, education and livelihoods needs - both in the
source and destination areas of migration. American India Foundation (AIF) has joined
hands with NDTV to raise awareness and resources to rehabilitate migrant families.

The government has made a committee to make a plan to create jobs. They have
already done the mapping of about 35 lakh migrants who have come back. We have an
MoU with organizations like FICCI. We are bridging the gap for skilled workers.
Similarly, we are also creating opportunities in MGNREGA.

Babri Masjid Case: Uma Bharti on List of Accused asked to appear in

Court on Thursday

BJP leader Uma Bharti is among the accused asked to appear in person Thursday before
a special court hearing the Babri Masjid demolition case. Special Judge S K Yadav had
recently given this option to the accused who are yet to record their statements, asking
them to provide their addresses so that arrangements can be made for video
conferencing. The court is in the process of recording the statements of the 32 accused
under section 313 of the CrPC, a stage in the trial which follows the completion of
examination of prosecution witnesses. On Wednesday, BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj
appeared in the court, categorically denying that he conspired in the demolition of the
mosque in Ayodhya.

The court issued a non-bailable warrant against an accused Om Prakash Pandey after
his lawyer informed that the Azamgarh resident's present whereabouts were not known
to him now. The court has been conducting day-to-day proceedings in order to conclude
the trial by August 31, as directed by the Supreme Court. The Babri Masjid was
demolished in December 1992 by "Kar Sevaks" who claimed that the mosque was built
on the site of an ancient Ram temple.

World Environment Day 2019: India's ‘Hawa Aane De’ Campaign Raises Air
Pollution Awareness
Thodi Hawa Aane de, Tazi Hawa Aane de...Thodi Hawa Aane de, Tazi Hawa Aane
de... and so it goes, on loop. This new song is stuck in our heads and we only just heard
it minutes ago! If you're wondering what it is, this new song Hawa Aane De is the
newest release by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change for World
Environment Day on 5 June. The theme for this year, set by the United Nations
Environment Programme, is Air Pollution- a much needed theme for awareness and
action in India. The Bhamla Foundation, a non-governmental organization working
across many themes including health, child rehabilitation, woman empowerment &
environment awareness, has collaborated with the Ministry on the song.

The song is also seeing some big names from Bollywood, with Akshay Kumar front
and centre. Vicky Kaushal too, makes an appearance in the video. Kapil Sharma was a
bit of an oddball considering everyone featured in it, including Rajkumar Rao have

Why India needs better smoking bans…an analysis of India’s second

hand smoking problem

Outside many of India’s offices, workers take a respite from work, chat with colleagues
and smoke a cigarette. According to the Global Adult Tobacco Survey for
India released in 2016-17, around 11% of Indians smoke regularly – the bulk of them
are men. Of the 22 countries surveyed as part of GATS, between 2008-13 India ranked
18th. Between 2008- 2013, 313 million Indians were exposed to second-hand smoke at
home, the second highest figure in the world after China’s, which had 717 million
adults that were exposed, according to the GATS Atlas released in 2015.

84
Ankur Patel (9624821126) Nayan Suthar (9714142847)
GATS is a cross-country survey on tobacco use, exposure to secondhand smoke,
conducted across 22 countries with the highest burden of tobacco use. In India, 74,000
adults were surveyed as part of GATS, which also monitors progress and opportunities
for improvement of tobacco control policies across countries. Based on the GATS India
Report, 30% of Indian adults were exposed to secondhand smoke at workplaces and
even more 39% were exposed at home. This gap widens between rural and urban areas,
with smoking inside homes allowed in 54% of rural in comparison to 38% of urban
households. India’s North-East is home to the country’s heaviest smokers. The five
states with the highest percentage of adult smokers are all in the North-East.

 Expressing Comparison
There are three types of degrees.

For example –

1. Sohana is as clever as Antara. (two people are compared)

2. Sohana is taller than Antara. ( two people are compared)
3. Sohana is the smartest girl in the classroom. (one person is compared with the
group)

We add the suffix ‘er’ in comparative degree and ‘est’ in superlative degree. There are
some adjectives which do not take ‘er’ and ‘est’. So we put ‘more’ in the comparative
degree and ‘the most’ in the superlative degree.

Prepare a speech in about 100 words to be delivered by you in your school on the
occasion of International Yoga Day.

Honorable Chief Guest, respected Principal Sir, teachers and my dear friends,
Good morning to one and all.

I am here to speak on the importance of yoga. I am going to talk about the importance
of yoga in our life and benefits of performing yoga. I request you to hear me carefully
and I assure that you will surely get something inspiring from my words.

International Yoga Day is celebrated throughout the world on 21st of June every year.
The declaration was done after the call by the IPM, Narendrabhai Modi to the United
Nations General Assembly. As you know that our daily life is full of stress and
anxiety. We are working constantly without paying attention to our health. Even on
Sundays and holidays, we are busy in extra work. Earning is important but it is not
everything. We should not forget our health is the real wealth.

In order to be mentally and physically fit, we should spend some time for ourselves
too. Yoga is the best to relieve ourselves. Everyone should spend at least ten minutes
every morning to observe yoga. The importance of yoga is increasing day by day and
India gets the international fame with this tool.

Yoga has many positive outcomes; it improves your brain functions, memory and
concentration. It also helps you to gain flexibility. It helps in improving blood
circulation. India has carved the new way towards the peace and prosperity. Thus,
yoga day is celebrated internationally not by the Indians but by the whole world.

JAY HIND!

have attached all necessary documents and certificated for your reference.

I hope you will show kindness while considering my application.

Visit to a Home for Aged

2nd February, 2020

Mehsana

Last Sunday, I along with my friends visited a Home for Aged. We met many
aged people there who were abandoned by their sons and daughters. We spent
precious time with them. We took many useful things with us to give them. It was
really a memorable day for us.
We visited a Home for Aged last Sunday. We reached there at 9: 30 a.m. in
the morning. First, we met the Manager of the Home for Aged and asked for to meet
the aged people. The Manager was happy to see that the youngsters like us are also
interested to spend time with such aged people. There were 50 aged men and women
there. Most of them said that they were abandoned by their sons and daughters. We
took some useful things with us. We gave all the things to them. We also played
some games with them and had snacks with them. Almost a day was passed with
them and they were so happy. At 5:00 p.m. in the evening, we left the place. It was
really a joyful day to meet such kind but helpless people.
