Street child gets a new lease of life: Thanks to Human Rights Activists
Suhasini Mallik, Staff Reporter
Monday, March 07, 2016
Mumbai: Seven year old Tanay’s joy knew no bounds when the city’s Human Rights activists gave him his new school uniform, school bag, and books. Tanay was brought to the city from Satara by his aunt and uncle (Smita and Sanjay Pathak) under the pretext of getting him admitted to a good school. However, the family, living in Caroline Apartments, Mahim, soon turned him into a domestic help and deprived him even of basic care.
A month ago a concerned neighbour (identity withheld on request) - contacted the Human Rights Commission office in the city after he heard screams and cries from the apartment where the Pathaks live. “Initially the cries were occasional; however, recently, I had been hearing cries everyday from the house as if someone was being beaten up and pleading for mercy. I was so worried that I had to take some step,” said the neighbour.
The activists learnt that Tanay was a distant nephew of the Pathaks and was being tortured by them when he refused to slog for them. After the Pathaks were arrested by the police, the boy was admitted to a school run by a local NGO and was reunited with his parents. The human rights group has also offered the parents of the boy jobs in the city so that they do not have to live away from their son anymore. A leading hospital has offered to provide free medical aid to Tanay and his family for a year as a part of their CSR initiative. The activists stressed on the fact that children should not be discriminated on any basis and that every child has an equal right to receive education and lead a good life.

Me: Did you read the newspaper? It says: Master blaster’s last innings!
Friend: Yes, I did. Cricket is never going to be the same again. I just can’t believe that Sachin Tendulkar has retired from all forms of cricket.
Me: I agree with you. Do you know he is also the recipient of the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award?
Friend: Yes, Sachin is the youngest recipient to date and the first ever sportsperson to receive the award.
Me: Sachin made his Test debut against Pakistan in Karachi in November 1989 when he was just 16. Where do you think we would be in a year?
Friend: I really don’t know! His versatility and perseverance not only enhanced his reputation as a
fine batsman, but also made him a teenage icon. In fact, my older cousins still admire him and talk
about his performances as a batsman, bowler, fielder and a captain.
Me: When the legend walked down the ground for his last innings at Wankhede Stadium, the
crowd rumbled with the chants of “Sachin! Sachin”.
Friend: There were mixed feelings pouring out from all corners of the stadium. Some people were
happy to see their star cricketer come out to bat, while some were pondering over the fact that it
was the last match in the illustrious career of Sachin Tendulkar.
Me: He has broken many records and won many awards and honours. It is sad indeed that fans
have to see the game without him playing anymore.
Friend: Let us hope that India gets another player who is as committed and skilled as Sachin
Tendulkar.

Read the following extract and convert it into a dialogue between Rosalind and Celia in about 120 words :
[You may begin with: Rosalind: There are many thieves ..... ]
The two girls made their plans. There were many thieves on the roads in those days, and it was dangerous for rich and beautiful young women to travel alone. So they stained their faces with a brown juice to make them look sunburned, and wore simple country clothes. Rosalind, who was much taller than Celia, dressed as a young man and took the name of Ganymede. Celia decided to call herself Aliena. They took with them a kind old servant called Touchstone, who served as Court jester, or ''Fool'', to Duke Frederick. (A Jester's duty was to keep the court amused with merry jokes and songs, and to make his master laugh when he felt sad or dull.)
Touchstone had always been very fond of Celia, and he gladly agreed to accompany her and Rosalind into the Forest of Arden. He still wore his Jester's clothes of red and black, with little bells hanging from his cap; and he was a great comfort to the two lonely girls, making them laugh with his merry jokes, and cheering them when they were tired or frightened.
As you can imagine, Duke Frederick was very angry when he was told that Celia had gone with Rosalind. He knew how much they had admired the young Orlando de Boys, and he suspected that the two girls had joined the young man and that they had all run away together. 'Send at once.to Oliver's house,' he said angrily. 'and if Orlando is not there, bring his brother to me. I'll make him find him. Everything must be done to bring back these foolish runaways'.
Read the following extract and convert it into a dialogue between ORlando and the Duke Senior in about 8 to 10 sentences:
[You may begin with: Orlando: Stop and eat no more! ]
The duke senior and his followers were sitting down to a meal one day when Orlando rushed out from among the trees, his sword in his hand. ‘stop, and eat no more !’ he cried
The duke and his friend asked him what he wanted. ‘food,’ said Orlando. ‘I am almost dying of hunger.’
They asked him to sit down and eat, but he would not do so. He told them that his old servant was in the wood, dying of hunger. ‘I will not eat a bite until he has been fed,’ Orlando said.
So the good duke and his followers helped him to bring Adrian to their hiding-place, and Orlando and the old man were fed and taken care of. When the duke learned that Orlando was a son of his old friend Sir Manuel de Roys, he welcomed him gladly to his forest court.
Orlando lived happily with the duke and his friends, but he had not forgotten the lovely Rosalind. She was always in his thoughts and everyday he wrote poetry about her, pinning it on the trees in the forest. ‘These trees shall be my books,’ he said, ‘so that everyone who looks in the forest will be able to read how sweet and good Rosalind is.’
Read the following extract and convert it into a dialogue (about 8 sentences):
[You may begin with : Rosalind: 'O, excellent young men.......']
'O, excellent young men!' cried Rosalind, delighted, and the Duke called out: 'No more! No more!'
'I beg you to let us go on, 'said Orlando. 'I have hardly begun!'
The Duke turned to ask Charles how he was, but the man lay without moving on the ground. 'He cannot speak, my lord,' said one of the nobles.
'Take him away,' said the Duke and then he turned to Orlando. 'What is your name, young man?' he asked.
'Orlando, my lord, the youngest son of Sir Rowland de Boys,'Orlando answered and the Duke looked at him in angry surprise. Sir Rowland de Boys had been faithful to the Duke Senior, and therefore Fredricks enemy.
'Your father was my enemy', said Frederick. 'I would have been better pleased by your brave deed if you had told me of another father.'
'I am proud to be Sir Rowland's son, 'answered Orlando angrily,' and I would not change my place to be the heir of this dukedom.'
The Duke and his lords went away, Leaving Orlando alone with Rosailand and Celia. Celia was angry with her father for speaking so unkindly to Orlando. 'Would have done this in my father's place?' she said to Rosalind.
'My father loved Sir Rowland as much as his own soul,' Rosalind said to Celia,' and all the world agreed with him. If I had known that this young man was Sir Rowland's Son I should have begged him with tears not to take so great a risk.'
