"A Tough Decision: Giving Up on My Sports Dream"

Hey friend, let me tell you about a time I had to give up on something I really loved. Back in high school, I was on the basketball team. I absolutely loved playing, practicing with my teammates, and the thrill of every game. But as time went on, things got tougher to manage.

You see, I was also doing really well in my academics and had signed up for a bunch of extracurricular activities. Suddenly, my plate was too full—there were too many late-night study sessions and long practice hours. I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and struggled to keep up with everything.

I knew I had to make a choice. As much as I loved basketball, I decided to step away from the team so I could focus on my studies and other priorities. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. My heart ached when I watched my friends play without me, and there were moments I second-guessed myself.

But looking back now, I think it was the right decision. It allowed me to achieve some important goals, though it was tough to give up something that brought me so much joy. Life is full of difficult choices, but I think every decision helps us learn and grow.

So, have you ever had to let go of something good? I'd love to hear your story too!

Read the following passage carefully and complete the activities given below: 
B.1)  Order :
Rearrange the following sentences in proper order:
(i)
Hanmant joined engineering.
(ii) Hanmant got his Diploma and secured a job in Philips.
(iii) Hanmant migrated to Pune when he was in class VI.
(iv) Hanmant took up a painting job to earn. 

            Hanmant Gaikwad was born in Koregaon in Satara district.
            “My native place is Rahimatpur, around 10 km from Koregaon. My father was a clerk in the court and we lived in a small, rented house.”
            Hanmant was a brilliant student especially good in mathematics. When he was in class six, the family shifted to Pune. They lived in Phugewadi near Dapodi in a tiny one-room house-10 by 10 feet. At this point, Hanmant realized the difference between himself and those who had money.
            Hanmant was then studying at Modern High School. He needed one rupee to buy a bus ticket to and from the everyday. Even that was hard to come by.
           Despite the hardships, Hanmant secured 88% in class 10. Hanmant completed his diploma and joined Philips as a trainee. But he wasn’t happy with the work he got there.
           The natural choice for a diploma engineer is to go for a B.Tech. But engineering colleges charge hefty fees. At the time, the family’s only source of income was a teacher’s salary of Rs. 2,300 a month……….
           And then I decided to also do some earning. “Khud Ka Kamana Chalu Kiya”.
          Hanmant took up painting jobs and quickly discovered it was excellent business.
          The young engineering student paid his own fees from the third year onwards. But his lifestyle remained frugal.
         Life was getting better, but Hanmant had his sights set higher. In the final year of engineering, he was attracted to the writings of Swami Vivekananda.
         “I felt Ki Kuch Alag Karna hai. What should I do, I did not know but in 1993 I formed an organization-Bharat Vikas Pratisthan.”
