Lost Spring - Part 4

20th April, 2020
Day 5

Good Morning Boys

I hope you are keeping well. Welcome back after a day's break.

I can understand you are loaded with work and hence, today's blog is not going to make you do something new. It is going to be light and same you will feel throughout this week. English will treat you with ease.

Before we proceed, let us recall learning objectives.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this chapter, students will be able to

  • identify the reason why Sahib, Mukesh and their communities work in their respective professions.
  • describe the living conditions of both the children.
  • develop sensitivity towards both the children.
  • narrate the real life experiences from their life situations of children working as labourers.  

On Saturday, we did short questions and long questions of Lost Spring, we are going to continue with the same in today;s class.
We will continue doing the content given to you on Saturday and therefore, will not touch any thing new.
I believe that many of you must have completed at least the short questions given to you for the chapter.
 Utilize today's period in completing the long answer questions, eventually leading to the completion of the chapter today.

Here are the same long questions given to you in Saturday's blog. Continue with the work.


 Long Answer Type Questions
(Answer them in around 150-180 words)
Take help from the value points given to you. 


Q.1 What are the dreams of the poor like Sahib- e- Alam and Mukesh? Could these be  realized? What is the reality of the situation?

Ø  Sahib spend the early years of his life looking for gold in garbage dumps
Ø  Parents of these street children have no fixed income.
Ø  War against poverty and hunger
Ø  No dream except finding the means of survival
Ø  Garbage is gold to them
Ø  It is their daily bread( means)
Ø  Saheb – servant at a tea stall
Ø  Loses his freedom
Ø  Mukesh – son of a poor bangle maker
Ø  Dream to become a motor mechanic
Ø  Wants to drive a car
Ø  Thinks to join a garage
Ø  Garage is far away so he decided to walk
Ø  Realizes the reality and tries to overcome it

Q.2 Firozabad presents a strange paradox. Contrast the beauty of the bangles of  Firozabad with the misery of the people who produce them.

Ø  Firozabad – centre of India’s glass – blowing industry
Ø  Famous for bangles.
Ø  Bangles of various colors piled on four wheeled push carts
Ø  Bangles are shining and bright
Ø  Raibow coloured bangles
Ø  Bangle makers lead miserable life
Ø  They don’t know any other work
Ø  No courage or money to start other trade
Ø  They are in the hands of moneylenders
Ø  Poverty and hunger
Ø  Not even have one meal a day


Ø  Work at hot furnaces makes them blind



To gain your today's attendance, kindly mention any one point of similarity between Saheb - e - Alam and Mukesh, in the comment box. 

We will take a break from literature for a while and will focus on writing section and therefore, will start with advertisements in tomorrow's blog. 

Till then, be safe. 

God bless you all!
