Answer:
The picture shows three schoolgirls playing a game of cricket instead of being at school. It shows that, just like boys,
girls can also skip school and play games during the time when they should be at school. They are shown in the picture as carrying their school bags as backpacks. So it appears that they had got ready for school and left their homes for attending school. But then, why did these girls skip school?

From the dress worn by the girls in the picture, it appears they are living in either a rural area or in a small town and they are enrolled in a government school. It is well-known that three-quarters of India’s schools are operated by the government, but nearly half of these schools don’t have separate usable toilet facilities for girl students. The situation is relatively better in private schools. Consequently, many girls either skip classes or drop out from school altogether. Many of them avoid eating breakfast at home before going to school, so that they don’t need to use a toilet during school time. Due to this, they feel sleepy during the class, thus faring poorly in tests. Thus, their aspirations bring girls to schools, but lack of toilets drives them away.

Separate toilets for girls are highly inadequate in schools and are definitely one of the reasons for dropping out. But more than anything else, it is a dignity issue and an issue of security for girl students. Going outdoors to answer nature’s call poses a serious threat to the dignity of these girls. In addition, for older girls who are menstruating, the issue of menstrual health comes up. But schools often fail to recognise this or are unable to do anything due to lack of funds. So, even those who don’t actually drop out, end up missing school for almost a week every month. Further, when a girl does not go to school, there is constant pressure on her parents to marry her off, thus causing a child marriage. Consequently we end up having an uneducated girl who is a child bride and unable to face the world on her own. The government must wake up and take strong steps to redress this wrong against half of our population.

Answer:
The picture is showing the bond between a little girl and a baby elephant that seems to be hanging out like two best buddies. Elephants have been inseparable companions of the humans for centuries so no doubt, they are among the most loyal animals. Like humans, animals too feel sadness and dejection if behaved rudely and beaten, but show love and affection if cared and treated properly. The girl in the picture has shown the same love and care for the baby elephant when he was left all alone on his fate. The elephant on the other hand gives the girl a true friend that a child longs for.

Ramesh lives in small house on the outskirts of a jungle near Bengaluru. Herds (a large group) oi elephants are seen in jungles and Ramesh is employed at a plantation where an elephant’s job is to root out stumps with its heavy feet. Mohini, one of the female elephants at the plantation where Ramesh works, died of an unknown disease leaving her six month old baby elephant Kamu to his fate. Being alone and without the company of his mother, Kamu’s health started deteriorating as there has been no one to take care of him. Ramesh brought him his home thinking that the change of environment might have some positive impact on him. Ramesh’s twelve year old daughter Kavya’s happiness knew no bound seeing this baby elephant at her house. Kamu who seemed to be uneasy in the beginning, gradually started liking Kavya as she was around him all the time and took care of his food and fondled him.

Soon Kamu started forgetting his mother and Kavya became the only center of his attention. Now Kavya and he have become inseparable souls. As long as Kavya is around him, his eyes twinkle and seem to be dancing with her activities, but the moments she is out of his sight, he becomes restless and keeps moving here and there till she reappears before him. Kavya too is very fond of Kamu. She is a bit proud of him too as no child of her village can boast of having an elephant as his pet. She takes Kamu for a walk in the evening daily. Sometimes she walks along with him and sometimes she rides on his back.

Who says man is an enemy of animals. Kavya and baby elephant are living example of close bonding between man and animals. What animals need is love and sincerity and they will prove more faithful and helpful than other human beings. This bonding proves ‘Haathi Mera Sathi’ that means the elephant is my friend.

Picture Composition for Class 9 ICSE
Answer:
The picture vividly portrays how a girl Lakshmi was made to work hard at breaking stones at the construction site. Even her mother and father used to work hard at the construction site toiling hard in the blazing sun from morning to evening carrying bricks and mortar from one place to another.

Lakshmi was the third child in the family of five children. Her mother was a poor labourer who worked at the nearby construction site along with her father. Lakshmi was 7 years old and used to accompany her parents to the construction site. One day, the manager at the construction site offered to employ Lakshmi at a meagre pay.

The small girl was forced to do hazardous work without proper compensation. She was risking her life just to keep her family’s body and soul together. So tragic is her condition that she had turned into a physical and mental wreck. Her weak and fragile body seemed to suffer from disease.

Lakshmi would keep breaking stones in a corner, crying and regretting her fate. Such was her misery that in the days when she should be going to school and playing; she had to work hard. Such was her irony that instead of smiles and carefreeness, her face was writ large with a worry for earning her bread.

This girl Lakshmi has become symbolic of all child labourers who are exposed to the difficulties of the world at such a tender age. It is a pity to see her shouldering the responsibilities of her family.

Child labour is another name which can be given to this picture. It is a serious blot in the efforts to project our nation as a dynamic country. The root cause of child labour is poverty and to some extent ignorance.

The government should thus realise the grimness of the situation and take strict actions to ban child labour.
Furthermore, this should be incentivised by the provision of education and vocational based skills training for each child in the poor families. The combination of the right information complemented by the right rewards will combat child labour and in the longer run, poverty.

Answer:
School is perhaps one of the best experiences of life. This makes me recall an incident of my life. An excursion was planned by my school when I was in the 9th standard. The news came as a surprise to me and we were too excited to go. We were informed that we were going to Jaipur for two nights and three days.

When I went home, I very cautiously told this to my mother who did not stir a bit. I had to try very hard to convince her. Finally, she gave her consent and advised me not to do anything reckless on my trip.

Once we were in Jaipur, we visited beautiful forts there. We also saw peacocks there. We could not stop ourselves from admiring their beauty. As we were about to click some pictures of the peacocks, we heard some school kids screaming. The noise was so loud that we moved towards the direction from where screams were coming. To our surprise, we saw three of our school children sitting on an elephant along with the master of the elephant. That was not the usual scene of an elephant ride because the animal was crossing the lake with all these four people sitting on it. The lake surrounded the fort and was deep. The water was also quite cold that day and so the elephant was slightly uncomfortable crossing the lake.

The elephant was losing its balance and this was the reason that the kids were screaming. Everybody present there was only looking at the helpless kids as even the elephant’s master was unable to control the balance of his animal. Although the kids were holding each other but still they seemed to be afraid. Suddenly, the elephant lost its balance and to everyone’s surprise all its passengers fell in the water.

All the children started yelling for help. I and my friends knew swimming and we jumped into the lake for their rescue. By God’s grace, we were successful in saving their lives. On coming back from the trip, we were praised by our school Principal and were also awarded with the bravery award. Our parents felt so proud of us.

Answer:

The intense and clear study of the picture in question describes the girl’s poor state. She is sitting with her younger sister at a popcorn stall. There are lot of packets spread around her and a heap of popcorn is under the process of roasting and cooking in the frying pan. While the girl is roasting the popcorn, her younger sister is anxiously waiting for the customers. They look quite innocent and poor.

It is a story of a 9 year old deprived girl child, Gudiya. According to her friends and teachers, she was extremely good in studies. Unfortunately, she could not go to school anymore because she had to earn money for the family after the sudden demise of her father. Her father was the sole bread earner of the family. His demise led her to choose between her books and starvation. The choice was obvious. She decided to help her mother by earning a livelihood to support her family.

The second time, I met Gudiya after 6 months of our first meeting. This time was different from the last time. I was disturbingly shocked to see the adverse changes that had taken in her life and had forced her into such an ill fate. Those little eyes that once twinkled with the gleam of becoming a doctor, sparkled no more. She now worked at a roadside popcorn stall, selling popcorn with her younger sister, only to earn a square meal for her struggling family.

Childhood should be a time of enjoyment, discovery and learning. Child labour is a reprehensible practice that steals children of their childhood. Like Gudiya, many others are out there who are forced and exploited due to circumstances.

Poverty, hunger, starvation etc turn them into child labourers. They are considered useful as labourers because they are easier to manage and control and perhaps most importantly, could be paid less than adults. Child labourers are often made to work for long hours in dangerous conditions. This practice is considered exploitative and is illegal.

However, India itself is a home to a quarter of the world’s working children. Although Indian law prohibits the employment of children under 14 years of age, yet child labour remains widespread in India. This is all due to public indifference, poverty and lack of political will and proper implementation of law.

Answer:
Due to the heavy downpour, the city of Kolkata is completely flooded. All the streets are waterlogged which make commuting hazardous.

Life in Kolkata seems to move pretty smoothly for everyone till the rains descend. The rains are the only time when vehicles lose their power of transporting people from one end to the other end of the city. The best and the only available mode of conveyance is the cycle or hand-rickshaw. When most of the people are seen stranded in the city, believe it or not, in these trying times the rickshaw pullers come to their rescue.

The hand rickshawalas actually call it their season. Everyone is eager to get a ride on a hand rickshaw and is even eager to pay more. Thus, the rickshaw pullers earn more than 8 to 10 times of their usual wages during this period and some of them thank the rain Gods for this bounty.

Sujit, a hand-rickshaw puller had been out of luck for many days. He was not able to make enough money for there was much competition on his route. He was a native of Kolkata but he always found that people from outside came and dominated the rickshaw pulling trade. Sujit needed money and he thought that things were getting tough.
Although, it had rained and the roads were flooded, he was not getting many customers. At the corner of the road, he saw two ladies stranded. They looked poor with an umbrella and had a worried look on there faces. They had left their home and were going to meet their family. When the auto driver dislodged them from his vehicle, they could not wade the flooding waters.

Sujit offered to help them and allowed the ladies to sit in his rickshaw. One of the ladies said that she would pay, but Sujit just wanted to help them. It took him more than an hour to take them through the flooded water to their house. There family members were waiting anxiously for ladies to arrive. The family members had tried all means of communication to contact them.

On seeing the ladies, the young boy and his family were extremely happy. Sujit did not expect anything but the delighted father gave him a five hundred rupee note with tears in his eyes and expressed his gratefulness to Sujit. Sujit realised that ‘God rewards the noble people’.

The picture shows a tiger asleep on a tree. Through it, it aims to highlight an important concern of today that is the loss of habitat for tigers.

The world’s population of tigers have some basic necessities in order to survive. These are water, food (which comprises of only preys as tigers are . carnivores) and forests where these animals can conceal themselves. When any of the above-mentioned requirements is not available, their chances of survival diminish naturally. Today, world over, tigers face this situation.

As human population and exploitation continue to grow, the forest cover tends to shrink. As more and more space is needed by the human population and they require the infrastructure- towns, roads, buildings etc, more and more forests and other natural habitats are being destroyed to make room for it.

Human beings are rapidly encroaching into wild areas which were once ruled exclusively by the tigers. Loss of habitat is only driving this animal to the verge of extinction. Without tall trees or grass, this animal can be easily hunted down by anyone. Moreover, as without the forests, even the tiger’s prey cannot survive, so the former ultimately will die of starvation.

However, the government has taken a view of the grim situation and has reserved some essential forest covers as wildlife sanctuaries and national parks.

This particular percentage of the reserved area is not to be touched by man and his activities. Thus, we as humans, must realise our social responsibility and make an effort to let the tigers and other wild animals have their natural habitat intact. For if they are robbed off their home, the ecological balance gets disturbed.

Answer:
Today, the world has become so competitive that it has caused a sharp rise in the expectations of parents. Expectations always cause pressure and this puts a pressure on the child to perform well in studies. This pressure sometimes acts as a catalyst but very often it proves fatal resulting in a child trying to eliminate himself or developing an inferiority complex which in turn causes him to withdraw into a shell. The picture clearly depicts an overburdened student.

Very often children are found falling off to sleep while studying due to sheer exhaustion. The parents expect their child to wake up at 4 am and get down with his studies, get ready and then attend school, again get down with his books at night and prepare his subject for the next day.

During the examination period, it is even worse. The child is expected to perform miracles and is goaded to despair in a quest for obtaining a high rank and percentage. The child on his part, tries hard to live up to the high expectations of his parents and in doing so, mentally and physically wears himself out. Some succeed while others are not so fortunate.

Parents are only concerned with their expectation but have no time to understand the psyche of their child. They never take out time to understand their child’s mentality, his weaknesses or strengths and his interests. They don’t even know if their child would be able to cope up. At times they try to fulfil their unfulfilled ambitions through their child and here lies the problem. Every child is a gift of God and is born to achieve greatness in his own way. Children should be nourished properly in order to prepare them for the burden of studies.

It is therefore, strongly recommended that the parents should understand the fact that a child must be allowed to grow up according to his/her natural instincts. Parental discretion and direction is definitely a must but to mould a child according to your own ambitions is wrong.

Answer:
The Delhi Race Course is getting all geared up for the summer racing season. People fly from all over the country to witness the glitter and glamour that surrounds the great spectacle. As the great day arrives, the race course is decorated with cheerful crowd comprising fashionably dressed men and women and becomes the central hub of activity. Owners, participants, jockeys, fans and the green grounds before them make it a perfect picture.

I visited the race course and was amazed with the magnitude of what I beheld as I walked along with my uncle. He is the owner of a large number of horses. I was directed to the 2nd row of seats with a great view. I glanced around in amazement to see ladies with umbrella to protect them from the afternoon sun. Men were in three piece suits. The fragrance and aroma, a blend of flowers and perfumes, filled the air. Finally, the pistol fired in the air, the opened and the 10 massive creatures broke free in a mad chase.

There was cheering and an indescribable excitement in the air. The jockeys were taking the race well and were tightening every muscle to make every stride of their horse with ease and perfection. These riders are thorough professionals and the animals are extremely well bred. The first race is won by ‘Watergate’. The experience was gripping and left me speechless. ‘Watergate’ is paraded in along with its rider and the owner. They receive a big trophy and also a cash prize. I was so thrilled at the spectacle that I settle down for the next race.

At this moment, a thought passed through my mind. I have heard wild stories of people betting on horses and becoming millionaires in a day. Even my uncle, who is the owner of a large number of horses, is a multi-millionaire. I secretly wish in my heart to be able to earn a fortune by betting on these horses. However, my thoughts are quickly rejected by the moral values of hardwork and honesty inculcated in me by my father.

Answer:
The light of the dying sun was shimmering on the sand. The beaches of Lakshadweep Islands were illuminated by the showers of beautiful and peaceful light. My grandpa lived at Kadmat island in Lakshadweep and we visited him along with my younger brother, Vaasu.

This season as well, the Lakshadweep Adventure Sports Championship was going to be organised.

I like wind surfing a lot and so I got my name registered immediately. At last the day arrived. I had practised for it day and night and was quite confident of winning it. Vaasu also infused a lot of confidence in me.

The day dawned bright and clear as I took my grandpa’s blessings and set out for the starting point with Vaasu in my tail. The spectators crowded the beach moving their handkerchiefs and throwing flowers.

At last, the trumpet sounded and the whistle blew up. I trapped the wind in my sail and the board lurched forward. I could hear Vaasu, ‘Di, you can do it!’ to cheer me up. Hearing this, I zipped through all the contestants. Everybody was dumbstruck on seeing a girl leading the race but cheered madly. The track was not an easy one. After 2 km, I saw a boy approaching me very fast. It appeared as if he was determined enough to overtake me. The last 3 km route was the toughest part of the race. Sometimes, he left me behind and sometimes I left him behind. Then there came a steep turn and unfortunately for him, a lot of turtles clogged his way.

He was a bit confused and tried to scrap past them. However, he could not control the speed and crashed down. Before he could recover the blow, I took advantage and crossed the finishing line in a great manner.

My grandpa and Vaasu came walking through the water and hugged me. The first prize was a real big trophy and along with that I got a beautiful new surfboard and gear.

Answer:
Delhi Metro has been the greatest gift for Delhi’s residents. It has not only made travel easier but has also helped a great deal in reducing traffic in Delhi. Most importantly the pollution level in Delhi has gone down because of the minimal usage of cars and bikes. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd was set up on 3rd May, 1995 in equal equity participation from the Government of India and the Government of National Capital Territory Delhi. Delhi Metro is the world’s 12th longest metro system in length and 16th largest in ridership. It is the second oldest metro in India after Kolkata Metro.

Delhi Metro has two types of corridors; underground, partly elevated and partly on the ground. There are many upcoming projects under DMRC and it is said to connect many other far away distances. The metro train runs at a speed of 30 km per hour.

There are three types of coaches, the 8-coach, the 4-coach and the 6-coach metro. The 8-coach metro runs successfully on the Yellow and Blue Line but it is yet to reach the violet line because the violet line is in dire need of more metro trains and with more coaches, keeping in mind the number of commuters on that line.

All corridors are centrally air-conditioned and there are various interchanging stations. Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, Kashmiri Gate are some of the interchanging stations in Delhi Metro.

We are really thankful to our government for blessing us with The Delhi Metro.

Answer:
Statue of Liberty is one of the seven wonders of the world and it represents America to the world. In short, it is the pride of America. The story behind the Statue of Liberty is that it was a gift from the French people to the United States in honour of the first hundredth anniversary of American Independence in 1886. It was designated as an American National Monument. This masterpiece was created by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi who got the idea about the design of Liberty while he was on a visit to the US. He got a creative thought about designing a statue which will represent freedom all over the world.

It is located in the New York Harbour on Liberty Island. The Statue of Liberty is 46 m (151 ft) tall and the surface of the statue is composed of hammered copper sheets that were riveted to an iron framework. The statue is made up of concrete therefore, its base and pedestal increase in its height of the monument to 93m (305 ft) high. It symbolises freedom throughout the world. ‘Liberty Enlightening the World’ is the second name of the Statue of Liberty.

The statue depicts a woman escaping from the chains. Her right hand holds a burning torch in order to represent liberty. The Liberty has seven rays on the top of her head which symbolise the seven seas and continents.

Even in the fluctuating climate of The United States, Liberty’s body remains unaffected from an unexpected change of nature because its green patina (a green or brown film on the surface of bronze or any other metals) gives the Liberty an excellent copper exterior which lasts for a long time and does not get affected by weather. Lady Liberty is built and placed in order to give immigrants arriving from abroad a welcoming signal. In conclusion, the Statue of Liberty is really famous around the world as it represents the basic principle of freedom.

Answer:
The word corruption is not something we hear only these days. It has existed in our society since long. History reveals that it was present even in the Mauryan period. Great scholar Kautilya mentions the existence of forty types of corruption in his contemporary society. It was practised even in the Mughal and Sultanate period. When the East India Company took control of our country, corruption reached new heights.

Nowadays, corruption in India has become so common that people now are averse to thinking of public life without it. Corruption means illegal or dishonest behaviour, especially by people in positions of power.

In other words, undue favour for any one for some monetary or other gains is corruption. Simultaneously, depriving the genuinely deserving of their right or privilege is also a corrupt practice. Sacrifice of ones, duty is also a form of corruption. Besides, thefts, misuse of public property constitute varieties of corruption.

Dishonesty, exploitation, malpractices, scams and scandals are various manifestations of corruption. It has spread its wings in every sphere of life, namely business, administration, politics, officialdom and services. In fact, there is hardly any sector which can be called a non-corrupt organisation. Corruption is evidently present in every segment and every section of our society, barring the social status attached to it.

To root out the evil of corruption from society, we need to make a comprehensive code of conduct for politicians and bureaucrats. Judiciary should be given more independence and initiatives on issues related to corruption.

Law and order machinery should be allowed to work without political interference. NGOs and media should come forward to create awareness against corruption in society and educate people to combat this evil.

A non-corrupt society is a moral responsibility of every citizen and we are morally bound to stand against corruption and fight against it and save our system from collapsing.

Answer:
Everybody is waiting for the rains to arrive. The city has already had a long dry spell. The weather has been very hot, the power cuts and water shortage have added to the misery. A lot of people have fallen ill due to the intense heat and few have died also.

Not only the humans, the animals too are having a hard time in this burning heat. The monsoons were scheduled to arrive in the city, but the wait is still on for the season’s first rain. A few people are organising havans so as to please the rain God. Some have left the city and gone to the mountains to get respite from the heat.

Finally, the rain came when we least expected it. It seemed that people had lost hope after waiting for too long. It was afternoon time and suddenly it started raining. The downpour was very heavy and lasted for 2 hours.

I was studying for my class test when it rained, I saw a girl and a boy playing in the rain from my window. Although they had umbrellas, they threw it away and were enjoying getting wet. Everyone was joyous and enjoyed the rain. Children were dancing and playing in the rain. They also made paper boats and floated them in the water.

This reminded me of my childhood days. I also used to come out in the rain and play with my friends. The weather had become cool after the rain. When I finished studying, I had a cup of tea with pakoras. Everyone in my home was very happy as finally, it had rained after a long wait. It was such a great relief for everyone!
