Presenter 2: “Now, it’s over to you Rahul.”
Rahul: “As they say, no news is good news but think how boring the life will be without news. There is a good news that our school team has won the Mehrauli Cricket Tournament final and photos of the winning team were splashed in all major dailies. There is going to be a drawing contest organized by Camlin. Those willing to participate should contact their class teachers for further details. That’s all from news room and goodbye!”

Mr. Rathore: “Yes! As you know physical health is very important for making an alert mind so I ensure it that my children do regular exercise to keep fit.”

Mr. Rathore: “Sometimes I do. But basically the fitness should be the prime motive while doing exercise.”
Varsha: “In this age of junk food what are your suggestions for dietary habits of children?”

Varsha: Thank you, Mr. Rathore for sharing your views with us. I hope listeners will follow your advice.
Presenter 1: “Qutab Minar is one of the iconic monuments of Delhi. And Pankaj has an interesting report on Qutab Minar. Welcome Pankaj.”
Pankaj: “Hi! I am not going to go into details of who built it and when he built it. Once you will approach the road towards Qutab Minar you will be overawed by its towering presence. Especially after a light shower the pink stone structure displays all its splendour. Once inside the campus you need to arch your back to have a good view of Qutab Minar. Then there is the famous iron pillar which is standing there for years without a speck of rust. In the same campus there is tomb of Iltutmish and other tombs are also there.
All the landmarks have well displayed information boards. After roaming in the Qutab campus if you feel tired you can enjoy a lazy siesta in the huge sloped lawn behind the Qutab Minar. That’s all about one of the historic monuments of our city.”
