1. Colonel Sanders | Kentucky Fried Chicken

Once, there was an older man, who was broke, living in a tiny house and owned a beat up car. He
was living off of $99 social security checks. At 65 years of age, he decide things had to change. So
he thought about what he had to offer. His friends raved about his chicken recipe. He decided that
this was his best shot at making a change.
He left Kentucky and traveled to different states to try to sell his recipe. He told restaurant owners
that he had a mouthwatering chicken recipe. He offered the recipe to them for free, just asking for
a small percentage on the items sold. Sounds like a good deal, right?
Unfortunately, not to most of the restaurants. He heard NO over 1000 times. Even after all of those
rejections, he didn’t give up. He believed his chicken recipe was something special. He got
rejected 1009 times before he heard his first yes.
With that one success Colonel Hartland Sanders changed the way Americans eat chicken.
Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC, was born.

Remember, never give up and always believe in yourself in spite of rejection.

 VI
15th May and 18th May 2023:
I was overwhelmed with gratuitous advice. Well-meaning yet ignorant
friends thrust their opinions into unwilling ears. The majority of them said
I couldn’t do without meat in the cold climate. I would catch
consumption. Mr Z went to England and caught it on account of his
foolhardiness. Others said I might do without flesh but without wine I
could not move. I would be numbed with cold.
One went so far as to advise me to take eight bottles of whisky, for I
should want them after leaving Aden. Another wanted me to smoke, for
his friend was obliged to smoke in England. Even medical men, those
who had been to England told the same tale. I replied that I would try my
best to avoid all these things, but if they were found to be absolutely
necessary I did not know what to do. I may here mention that my
aversion to meat was not so strong then as it is now. I was even betrayed
into taking meat about six or seven times at the period when I allowed
my friends to think for me. But in the steamer, my ideas began to change.
I thought I should not take meat on any account. My mother, before
consenting to my departure, had exacted a promise from me not to take
meat. So, I was bound not to take it, if only for the sake of the promise.
The fellow passengers in the steamer began to advise us (the friend who
was with me and myself) to try it. —
M K Gandhi.

Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention. And Indian doctors have been quite
creative when hamstrung by few or no tools to perform specific surgeries. They
simply design it themselves at one-fourth the price they are sold abroad. In fact,
some of their innovations are priced at as much as hundreds of dollars abroad.
Take 47-year-old Dr Burjor P Banaji, pioneer of Lasik surgery in India. He’s invented
over a dozen surgical instruments. When this senior eye surgeon at Max Eye Care
started Lasik, there were few surgeons doing it worldwide and no specific
instruments were available either. “As I want things super-perfect, I designed a
whole slew of instruments that made my surgery more efficient,” says Banaji. The
most popular instruments are Banaji Lasik Shield and Banaji Lasik Spatula and
Canulae. “It was simple. I had the designs in my head. Putting them down on paper
was the simplest thing,” he says. Instruments manufacturers and large
multinationals in the US snapped them up. “They would send me computer
generated drawings which I would correct and send back. Their level of execution
was astounding. Within two weeks of the designs being finalised, the instruments
were in the world market.”
His instruments are priced at hundreds of dollars each in the US, and are also sold
in Switzerland, South America, Korea, Eastern Europe, Africa and Japan. They’re
available in India at a fraction of the price.

New Delhi: Atithi Devo Bhavah. To make visitors to the city feel welcome during the
Commonwealth Games, India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) is set to train
taxi and auto drivers, CISF personnel posted at monuments, dhaba owners, hotel staff
etc. Participants will be taught English as well as courtesy and ways to communicate
with tourists. At present, there is a shortage of trained guides in the city and with
Commonwealth Games drawing close, the issue has to be addressed promptly.
With hundreds of historical sites to visit and each monument boasting its own unique
history, foreign nationals are often left to fend for themselves and depend on tourist
books and brochures for information. Language is another problem. Quite a contrast
to facilities offered in tourist sites in western countries, where trained guides-proficient
in several languages-are easily available to aid visitors apart from group-guided trips at
regular intervals. Although the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) plans to introduce
audio guide services in five languages at some world heritage sites our experts point
that not a single monument or tourist place in the city has an interpretation centre
where tourists can come and get all information pertaining to a particular site. ASI is
also in the process of bringing out more brochures and guides for foreign visitors in
the city. Experts say such facilities are crucial if the government wants to promote
Delhi as a ‘heritage city’. Various agencies like INTACH are also involved in the plans.
Under ITDC’s plans, etiquette training for the Games will also be provided to residents
who offer rooms to foreigners under Delhi government’s bed and breakfast scheme.
“House-owners will be given hospitality related training and a brief of Indian tourism
scenario. Most visitors generally question their hosts on information about the city so
they will be provided information on the golden triangle- Delhi, Agra and Jaipur as well
as where tourists should go visiting in Delhi,” said an official.
Read the questions given below and write the option you consider the most
appropriate in your answer sheet.

Q1: What are the initiatives to be taken up by the India Tourism Development
Corporation to make the visitors feel welcome during the Commonwealth
Games?
(i) training of drivers, CISF personals, dhaba owners and hotel staff.
(ii) promoting the sale of tourist books and brochures.
(iii) arranging audio cassettes and tapes on tourism.
(iv) constructing more bed and breakfast homes.
Q2: How have the western countries managed to offer aid and better
facilities to their tourists?
(i) by providing good tourist books and brochures.
(ii) by providing well-behaved and courteous guides.
(iii) by training guides in several languages and group-guided trips at regular
intervals.
(iv) by allowing foreign nationals to fend for themselves.
Q3: Apart from the guides and the guided tours, Archeological Survey of India
has expressed the need for establishing ______________ at historical sites to
help tourists.
(i) interpretation centres. (ii) rehabilitation centres.
(iii) cessation centres. (iv) training centres.
Q4: What steps have been taken by ASI to promote Delhi as a heritage
site?
(i) making brochures very informative and training the residents.
(ii) bringing out more brochures and involving other agencies in
planning and visitor management.
(iii) offering tourists all sources of comfort for their stay and visits to
historical sites.
(iv) providing owners of bed and breakfast homes information about
Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.

(ii) etiquette training, hospitality treatment
(iii) better tourist guides and interpretation centres
(iv) visits to the golden triangle cities.
So You Want to be a Cartoonist
What writers struggle to express through numerous newspaper columns, the
cartoon manages in a pointed one-liner. Little wonder then, that the first thing most
of us like to see when we pickup a newspaper is the cartoon. Simple though it may
seem, making a cartoon is an art that requires a combination of hard work, training
and a good sense of humour. Cartoonists say that the cartoons that make us laugh
the most are in fact the cartoons that are hardest to make. Even celebrated
cartoonists like R.K.Laxman admit that making a cartoon is not a piece of cake.
Laxman says he has to wait for over six hours, which includes spending a lot of time
scanning newspapers and television channels before any idea strikes him.
So how does one become a cartoonist? Which of us has the talent to make it? How
can we master the rib-tickling strokes and the witty one-liners? How can we make
people smile or laugh? There are few colleges or schools for cartoonists. Most
cartoonists come from art colleges, while some learn the craft on their own. Most
established cartoonists are of the view that no institute can teach you to make a
cartoon. “You can pick up the craft, you may learn to sketch and draw in institutes,
but no one can teach anyone how to make a good cartoon,” says Uday Shanker, a
cartoonist with Navbharat Times. While basics, like drawing and sketching can be
learnt in an art college, and are important skills, these alone, do not make a good
cartoonist. Because it’s a question of one’s creativity and sense of humour; two
qualities one simply may not have. The advice established cartoonists give is that
just because you can sketch, don’t take it for granted that you will become a
cartoonist.
Read the questions given below and write the option you consider the most
appropriate in your answer sheet.
Q1: What, according to Laxman, is the challenge in creating a good cartoon?
(i) waiting for the right thought (ii) browsing newspapers to emerge. and

Q4: According to the passage, which group of people is of the
opinion that one cannot learn to make a cartoon in institutions?
