Long Answer Questions – 120-150 words

Answer: Saheb is a young boy who does ragpicking. Sometimes he finds a ten rupee note or a silver coin in the garbage. Thus garbage for him is like gold. However the earnings from ragpicking is not steady. He accepts a job at a tea stall where he gets a fixed income of 800.

Saheb wants to go to school. He wants to wear shoes and play tennis. But he does not have the means to achieve his dreams. He does not appear to pursue his dreams through his deeds.

Mukesh is son of a poor bangle making parents. He wants to be a motor mechanic and drive a car. He wants to go to a garage to learn. He is ready to walk to the garage though it is a bit too far.

Saheb does not do anything to achieve his dreams while Mukesh is ready to extend himself. Hence it is possible though difficult for Mukesh to fulfil his dream

Answer: Bangle are very beautiful. These are considered auspicious for married women. Bangles are made in each of the seven colours of rainbow.

Bangle makers are very poor. Working conditions are bad. They need to work at the furnace which has high temperature. Polishing of spirals generates glass dust. Many bangle makers become blind because of this. Soldering of bangles is done in flickering oil lamp. The work area is poorly lit and has inadequate air circulation.

There is a nexus between money lenders, middlemen, police, bureaucrats and politicians to ensure their own interests. This works against the interest of bangle makers. They are never able to come out of their poverty. If anyone tries to do something different, police beats them and put them in prison.

Life of bangle makers is dull and full of sadness while colours of bangle represent vibrant shades and happiness.

This is the contrast between colours of bangles and life of bangle makers.

Answer: Bangle makers are very poor. Working conditions are bad. They need to work at the furnace which has high temperature. Polishing of spirals generates glass dust. Many bangle makers become blind because of this. Soldering of bangles is done in flickering oil lamp. The work area is poorly lit and has inadequate air circulation. They are not able to earn enough money to buy full meal for the family.

There is a nexus between money lenders, middlemen, police, bureaucrats and politicians. This works against the interest of bangle makers. If anyone tries to do something different, police beats them and put them in prison.

Since generations bangle makers are doing the same work. They do not have a leader to guide them. They are not able to think differently. Nor do they have any ambitions. They merely go on talking about their pathetic conditions.

Owing to above reasons, they remain in the web of perpetual poverty.

Answer:

Action is the key to fulfil dreams

Dreams are so important to us. They point a direction of a path we like to take. Let us remember that merely having a dream is of little use to us. We need to make it work. We need to fulfill it. The only way to achieve our goal is through taking action.

Actions need to be taken well in time. One who fails to utilize time is left with absence of time. Time is the most precious resource. Once lost it never comes back.

It is said that every journey is made up of small steps taken continuously one after the other. Even if a small action can be initiated today, it must be initiated.

Through continually taking action one can shape destiny. Merely dreaming about the dream leads nowhere but to misery.

Procrastination is the biggest evil. What can be done today should be done now. This is the ‘mantra’ of successfully realizing dreams.

Answer: Dreams represent ambition of a person. Many times a person is fed up of present situation. He / she dreams of better living conditions. While dreaming about better life, one tends to forget realities of life.

One may not have adequate resources or opportunities. Saheb dreams of studying in a school. But his neighbourhood does not have school. Saheb wants to play tennis. But he cannot pay fees of the club. Survival is more important for his family. He resigns to circumstances. He starts working at a tea-stall for wages of 800 plus meals.

Mukesh belongs to a poor bangle maker’s family. Mukesh wants to be a motor mechanic and wants to drive a car. He plans to go to a garage in the town to learn. He is ready to walk to the garage though it is a bit too far. If Mukesh follows his action plan he may achieve his dream.

Thus we may conclude that realities could be a hindrance. But those who extend themselves to circumvent obstacles can achieve their goals.

Answer: Here the word ‘spring’ has been used symbolically. It represents the childhood.

Flowers bloom in spring, playing joyfully with air and fine weather. There is happiness all around. Similarly the childhood is full of activity and joy. Children find new ways of playing and entertainment. The life is so carefree.

In the life of two children of the text there is no joy and no play for them.

Saheb has shifted from Dahaka. Owing to storm and flood, he had lost all his fields. The family does ragpicking for their survival. Saheb is not able to go to school. He cannot participate in the game he likes. He had to accept a job at a tea-stall at the tender age to support survival of family.

Family of Mukesh is poor. Since generation it is engaged in bangle making. Working conditions are hazardous. People routinely lose their eye-sight. Children too need to work to support family earning.

Thus we can conclude that both children have lost their childhood. Hence the title ‘Lost Spring’ is justified.

Answer: About 10,000 people had come to Seemapuri from Dhaka. They had lost their field in storm and flood. Their survival had become difficult. So they came to Delhi in 1971.

To feed their family they have adopted work of rag picking. It is their only way of earning money. They are not bothered about their identity and rights. They feel happy if they can go to sleep without aching stomach. Garbage is the only means of survival for them.

Children are also engaged in rag picking. Sometimes they find a ten rupee note or a silver coin in garbage. On such occasions they do not stop. Rather they become hopeful of finding more such things in the heap. Sometimes children find other things of value in garbage. So the rag picking is an adventure and wonder for children.

Thus garbage is wrapped in wonder for children and it is a means of survival for elders.

Answer: People of Firozabad are engaged in the profession of bangle making. Generation after generations  has been doing the same work.

They work near the furnace in high temperature. Soldering of glass spiral is done in flickering light of an oil lamp. Polishing of bangles creates glass dust. Many people lose their eye sight. Wages are very low. People are not able to buy enough food to satiate their hunger.

Mukesh is different from all other of the town. He does not want to carry on the traditional work of the family. He thinks differently. He wants to become a motor mechanic. He wants to drive a car. He wants to be his own master.

Mukesh wants to go to a garage in the town to learn skill of motor mechanic. He is ready to walk to the garage though it is a bit too far from his house. However, owing to poor financial condition of the family, he may not be able to pay fees to become a motor mechanic or to learn to drive a car.

It is in this context writer says that his dreams loom like a mirage amidst the dust of street.

Answer: The phrase ‘a silver lining’ means a hopeful prospect. It also means something hopeful that can be found in a bad situation.

Anees Jung has described the pathetic conditions of rag-pickers and bangle makers. Families have economical compulsions to continue to work in these types of works. Survival is more important for them. They feel satisfied if at the end of the day family is able to sleep without aching stomachs.

However hard they work, it is not possible for them to come out of the situation.

Author argues that the only ray of hope can come through thinking differently. In case of such poor families it requires lot of courage to think of something different.

Saheb starts working  at a tea stall for a fixed income of 800 rupees and free meal. This is a change from the work his family has been doing. Mukesh too has a dream of becoming a motor mechanic and driving a car. He has made his action plan to achieve his dreams.

Author indirectly hints at the courage these two boys have displayed in an attempt to free themselves from the monotonous, dangerous and poverty ridden life.

Answer: Mukesh wants to be a motor mechanic and drive a car. He want to be his own master.

He plans to go to a garage located in his town to learn the skills required to be a motor mechanic. That garage is a bit too far from his residence. He is willing to walk to and fro to the garage. This is his plan to achieve his dream.

The author jokingly asks Mukesh if he has a dream of flying an airplane. For a moment Mukesh is silent. Then in a low voice he replies in negative.

He argues that cars run in Firozabad. Hence he would be satisfied to drive a car. This thought expresses his attachment to his roots.

He also seems to be aware that learning to fly an airplane is beyond his reach. But he does not want to talk about his poverty to author. So he says that not many planes fly over Firozabad.
