Q3 Subject: Complaint Regarding Nuisance Caused by Rickshaw

Pullers and Auto Drivers at Metro Stations

Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw
the attention of the concerned authorities towards the nuisance caused by
Rickshaw Pullers and Auto Drivers at Metro Stations.
The behavior of some rickshaw pullers and auto drivers at metro stations
has been troublesome. They often break the traffic rules, harass
passengers, and create chaos in the vicinity of these vital transport hubs.
Such behavior not only disrupts the smooth functioning of public
transportation but also poses safety risks to commuters. Additionally,
there is an urgent need for increased security presence and stricter
monitoring around metro stations to ensure the safety and comfort of
commuters. Public transportation should serve as a convenience for
citizens, not a source of daily frustration and inconvenience.
I urge you to shed light on this pressing issue and use your platform to
advocate for immediate action by the authorities. Together, we can work
towards creating a more pleasant and efficient commuting experience for
all metro passengers.
Q4 Ranji was an enthusiastic young boy who was dedicated towards
cricket. He worked really hard to improve himself. He practiced
regularly and tried hard inspite of the failures. After a series of bad
performances, he became really dejected and disheartened. He started
believing that he was unlucky and lost confidence in his abilities. Mr.
Kumar helped to bring back his self-confidence by gifting him his
special bat.
Ranji’s success in the game was a result of his dedication, hard work and
the confidence infused in him by Mr. Kumar. So, the magic was not in
the ‘bat’ given by Mr. Kumar but in Ranji’s dedication and confidence.
By taking Bhim to the doctor, Ranji proves to be a true and caring
friend.

Q13 I watched Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii and it’s amazing. It's a cool
movie about an orphan named Karan who absolutely loves cricket. He
lives in an orphanage with a bunch of other kids and his dream is to play
cricket, just like his hero Kapil Dev. The movie gets awesome when
Karan finds a mysterious cricket bat that he believed was magical. This
bat totally changes his game. Suddenly, he's hitting sixes like the many
players in the Indian Cricket Team. With the help of a kind person who
also is the Indian Cricket Team's Coach, Karan gets a shot at playing
with the big leagues.
Before the last match of the series was about to start, Karan lost his
lucky bat as it was stolen by an orphan and he threw it from the rooftop
and the bat broke. Karan was shattered from inside and started to doubt
his skills and also told his captain, Varun Roy that he is nothing without
his magical bat. The captain explained that the magic wasn't inside the
‘bat’, it was inside Karan all along. In the end, Karan was adopted by his
captain. This movie is a must-watch for anyone who loves cricket and
inspirational stories.
