My father knows the proper way
The nation should be run;

Just what should now be done?
He knows the way to fix the trusts,
He has a simple plan;
But if the furnace needs repairs,
We have to hire a man.
My father, in a day or two
Could land big thieves in jail;
There’s nothing that he cannot do,
He knows no word like “fail.”
‘Our confidence” he would restore
Of that there is no doubt;
But if there is a chair to mend,
We have to send it out.

Do many wondrous things;
He’s built upon a wiser plan
Then presidents or kings.
He knows the ins and outs of each
And every deep transaction;
We look to him for theories,
But look to ma for action

Listen to the views of a leading economist R. Azhagarasan about EMI in an interview.
We live in a world where everyone likes to lead a comfortable and luxurious life, though our salaries are not enough to meet our needs. In such a situation, the EMI seems to be the only option. It helps people pay for the expensive things, they have purchased, in parts as installments. It gives monetary power to buy expensive things beyond the capacity of a common man. Otherwise, many people will never be able to buy such things. This proves beneficial for people in purchasing a house and other essential appliances and accessories.
It also has some negative unavoidable results. If people are not able to pay EMI on time, they have to keep on paying the loan amount for years together with interest. If people are not able to pay EMI on time, they may face serious problems such as the penalty for default, repossession of the purchased items, and might even be subjected to legal actions. Moreover, people may have the tendency to buy things that are not at all necessary, paying EMIs over a longer period of time. This may lead them into never ending debts. Hence, people should learn to spend within their means.
i. The speaker says that our income is sufficient to meet our needs. Is it true or false?
ii. EMI is the only ______for people who buy very expensive things.
- consolation
- setback
- option
- debt
iii. One is able to buy costly things with ______power offered by EMI.
- physical
- withstanding
- honorary
- monetary
iv. If people fail to pay EMIs, they may be subjected to ______.
- expulsion
- high pressure
- legal action
- dejection
v. People should learn to spend ______their means.
- within
- beyond
- above
- beneath

Midnight Wonders
I was tossing in my bed in the midnight hour, struggling to get a wink of sleep, but my eyes lay on the clock tower.
I looked upon the dark sky; it was adorned with sparkling pearls, which giggled at me and put a shine to my curls.
I gazed at the chubby moon, which was white and glistening like milk. Gave me a lovely, motherly smile through her lips as rosy pink.
All these magnificent objects made my mind calm. My eyelids started drooping. I was grateful for their wonderful charm.
Nature had arrived to aid me when I was trying to catch sleep. She, with her caring palms, lulled me to slumber, so deep.
