Introductory Paragraph of the Long Answer Question

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The first part of the story of Lost Spring explains the grim poverty of Saheb, who was compelled to leave his country, Bangladesh, due to excessive floods that spoiled their crops. Anees Jung asks the question, “Why do you do this?” Saheb. She meets Saheb every morning, who collects garbage in her neighborhood.

Main Paragraph of the Long Answer Question

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Storms spoilt their crops and homes in Dhaka. Therefore, they were compelled to leave their country in the hope of finding “gold” in the big city. She comes to know that he doesn’t go to school as there is no school in the neighborhood. His full name is ‘Saheb-e-Alam’, and he doesn’t know the meaning of his name. He roams the streets collecting garbage with his friends. Anees Jung goes to Seemapuri, situated on the periphery of Delhi yet miles away from it. People came to Seemapuri in 1971, and the Saheb family was one of them. 10,000 ragpickers are living in Seemapuri. Seemapuri is devoid of all facilities like sewage, drainage, and sanitation. There is no drinking water in the colony. She further asks about the reason for leaving their country. “Garbage to them is gold”. They make both ends meet by collecting garbage.

Conclusion Paragraph of the Long Answer Question

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Thus, people are in Seemapuri were dependent on ragpicking and children had a different angle for collecting garbage. “I sometimes find a rupee, even a ten-rupee note.” Saheb was fond of tennis, and he used to go to the club to watch the playing boys. After some time, Saheb starts working at a tea stall where he was earning 800 rupees, but he was not happy as he was no longer his own master. “Sometimes I find a rupee in the garbage”

Question.1. Give a brief account of the life and activities of the people like Saheb-e-Alam settled in Seemapuri. (Delhi 2011)

Answer.  The first part of the story of Lost Spring explains the grim poverty of Saheb, who was compelled to leave his country, Bangladesh, due to excessive floods that spoiled their crops. Anees Jung asks the question, “Why do you do this?” Saheb. She meets Saheb every morning, who collects garbage in her neighborhood.

Thus, people are in Seemapuri were dependent on ragpicking and children had a different angle for collecting garbage. “I sometimes find a rupee, even a ten-rupee note.” Saheb was fond of tennis, and he used to go to the club to watch the playing boys. After some time, Saheb starts working at a tea stall where he was earning 800 rupees, but he was not happy as he was no longer his own master. “Sometimes I find a rupee in the garbage”

Question.2.’Lost Spring’ explains the grinding poverty and traditions that condemn thousands of people to a life of abject poverty. Do you agree? Why/Why not? (All India 2011)

Answer.  The first section of Lost Spring tells the story of Saheb, who was forced to flee his home country of Bangladesh due to floods that ruined their crops.  Every morning, she meets Saheb, the garbage collector in her neighborhood. Storms ruined their crops and destroyed their homes in Dhaka. As a result, they were forced to flee their homeland in the hope of finding “gold” in the big city. Anees Jung travels to Seemapuri, which is on the outskirts of Delhi but miles away. The Saheb family was among those who arrived in Seemapuri in 1971. Seemapuri is home to 10,000 ragpickers. Seemapuri lacks all amenities such as sewage, drainage, and sanitation.

Anees Jung sets the second part of Lost Spring in Ferozabad, India, a center for bangle-making. Mukesh is the main character in this section. In this section, she explains how our traditions cause us to be poor and illiterate, as in the case of Mukesh, who aspires to be a car mechanic like any other normal family boy.

Anees Jung explains how poverty affects children regardless of what they do. She explains that Saheb and Mukesh, like the other children, wanted to work according to their desires, but circumstances prevented them from doing so. Both Seemapuri and Ferozabad suffer from a lack of amenities. The author explains that they have always been poor and are caught in a web of poverty, burdened by the stigma of caste.

Home Work in Period 6 Lost Spring

Question 1. The bangle makers of Firozabad make beautiful bangles and make everyone happy but they live and die in squalor. Elaborate. (Delhi 2010)

Question.2. “It is his karma, his destiny that made Mukesh’s grandfather go blind”. How did Mukesh disapprove of this belief by choosing a new vocation and making his destiny? (HBSE 2018)

Question.3. What did the author see when Mukesh took her to his home? (HBSE 2010, 2013, 2019, 2020)

Question.4. What job did Saheb take up? Was he happy? (HBSE 2014)
