Presenter 1: “This will be followed by an interesting presentation about Qutab Minar by Pankaj. Then there will be some advertisement followed by the question of the week.”
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!”
Presenter 1: “Thank you Rahul.”
Presenter 2: “Most of you dread your physical education teacher because of his no nonsense approach. Today Varsha will interview him to find the other facet of his tough personality. It is over to you Varsha.”
Varsha: “Mr. Rajyavardhan Rathore needs no introduction and all of you know him pretty well. Let’s ask some questions from Mr. Rathore. Welcome Mr. Rathore to our programme. Tell us, do you have a gym in your home for your kids?”
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.”
Varsha: “Do you give them a good treat once they finish exercise?”
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?”
Mr. Rathore: “Junk food should be avoided at all costs. Everybody should eat lots of green vegetables and fresh fruit to get enough vitamins and minerals. For protein and calcium eggs and milk are important.”
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.”
Advertisement 1: “Khan Chacha has come up with a new signature dish. This is ice cream filled gol-gappa peppered with chat masala. Khan Chacha’s guarantee is no one can eat just once!”
Advertisement 2: “Buy handmade greetings cards made by class V students. The proceeds will go to Helpage India.”
Presenter 2: “Now comes the time for the question of the week. Listen carefully and SMS your answers quickly. The winner will get free ice cream filled gol-gappa at Khan Chacha’s.
Presenter 1: “How does a desert cooler bring down temperature inside our rooms? Your answer should be in one word only. Send your SMS to 8888.
Presenter 2: “Hope you enjoyed our show. Send your feedback by mail, telephone or SMS. Meet you next week. Same time! Same Day!

You are on the editorial board for the column ‘Your Problems’ in The Teenager magazine. You have received these two letters asking for your advice. (They appear to have come from the same family)

Dear Helpful Avanti My fifteen year old son is crazy about film music. He seems to be wasting all his pocla:t money on these meaningless CDs. He cannot even study without this noise. Though he is good at studies, I remain disturbed about this new obsession. There are all kinds of strange-looking posters on the walls of his study and he always wears those gaudy T-shirts and faded patched jeans. Also, he is very fond of Junk-food. I fear he is breaking all links with our culture. |

Dear Helpful Avanti I love film music and I have bought a lot of CDs from my pocket-money allowance. But whenever I switch on my CD-player, my father frowns and orders me to switch off the 'jarring noise'. He calls it 'cheap' and 'uncivilised' stuff. It is not that I do not like classical music, but when I am with my friends, we listen to film music. I like Indian clothes and food. But, I also like to wear western clothes and eat continental food occasionally. I do not like to disobey my parents, but I do not want to give up my music and other interests. |
