उत्तर
The Journey of a Handloom Kurta
In a small, vibrant village nestled amidst the lush fields of India, a group of skilled weavers begins their day. The story of our handloom kurta starts here, in the rhythmic clatter of wooden looms and the careful hands of these artisans. Each thread that will soon form the kurta is selected with care—usually soft cotton or silk dyed in natural, earthy tones.
The weaving process is intricate. The loom, passed down through generations, is a tool that requires precision and patience. Every movement of the shuttle weaves together a tale of heritage and tradition. Patterns emerge slowly, inspired by nature, folklore, or the weaver’s imagination. The fabric, once a simple bundle of threads, transforms into a rich tapestry of colors and textures.
Once the fabric is complete, it is washed, dried, and stretched to ensure its durability. The next step is cutting and stitching, often done by a local tailor who takes pride in turning the fabric into wearable art. The kurta’s design might include traditional elements like a Nehru collar or embroidery that reflects regional styles, such as chikankari from Lucknow or kantha work from Bengal.
When the kurta is ready, it carries more than just its physical form. It holds the essence of the weaver’s craft, the tailor’s skill, and the culture it represents. It journeys from the village to bustling city markets, where someone will choose it—not just as a garment but as a piece of India’s heritage.
When you wear a handloom kurta, you wear a story: one of tradition, hard work, and timeless beauty. It’s not just clothing; it’s a testament to the artistry and dedication of India’s handloom communities.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow
Humans have long been fascinated by fiction. We experience excitement in assigning supernatural power to imaginary characters in fictional stories – and so we have Spider man, Batman, He–man, Titans and many more. The ‘Cyborg’ was an offshoot of such wild imagination of humans to invest our species with superhuman powers. Today, the Cyborg is no more an imaginary organism. We are living in a world where a sizeable population of humans have merged their bodies with technological implants. The term ‘Cyborg’, short for ‘cybernetic organism’, was coined to describe a man, whose body is implanted with technological devices to supplement and substitute body functions.
Cyborgs include people with cardiac pacemakers, contact lenses, bionic ears and eyes, prosthetics and so on. In other words, a cyborg is partly human and partly machine. The technological innovations in the field of medicine and healthcare augment humans with machines, producing a beta version of the human body. The advent of brain machine interfaces is certain to blur the boundary between humans and machines. Scientists are working hard to find a technique for age reversal too. People do not want to die, so mankind is striving to get to the final frontier, which is development of machines and devices that would accord man immortality.
The needs of humans are not limited. As time passes, food habits change, thinking patterns change, and even appearances change. We are about to travel by driverless, fully automated vehicles. Computers and smart phones have become our masters. The more we depend and merge with technological advancements, the more the humanness in us slowly erodes. Intelligence is sought to be infused into machines and robotics are designed in such a way to give man a virtual human companion. The field of artificial intelligence is overtaking the human brain and many fear that it could even harm the human race. Despite certain limitations and potential threats, many believe that cyborgs will be the next step in the evolution of mankind. The amalgamation of man and machine is sure to add a new dimension to the life of mankind and this will prove to be the ‘biggest evolution in Biology’ since the emergence of life, four billion years ago.
