Question

1. Read the passage given below:
1 Suspense was over when my high school results finally came out But I was upset. I hadn't done
as well as I had expected. My father tried to console me. 'Why are you worried? You have done
very well my dear'. No, I haven't Baba' I protested, controlling my tears
, and wondering if 1
hand drappointed him. 'It doesn't really matter," he assured me. Do you know what I got when
I finished high schooly I looked into Baba's face and waited for the answer to his own question
You know,' he told me. I've never told you this. I got just a third division. But, look at me, I've
done quite well. Baba got a third division! I was almost in shock, but the thought of my having
donca lot better than that made me realize that I had no reason to complain. I certainly felt better!
Everything is under controll said Baba, smulng That was his favourite phrase Posted in Kolkata,
my father was then a senior official in the Indian Railway Service and an expen in goods traific
operations. He was soon to become a director with the Railway Board. By the time he retired
in 1981, he was the general manager of the Central Railways. By the time, Baba passed away in
November 2000, his name had found place in several hearts as well
. He was open, easy to brow,
and full of life. We were extremely close, but I had so much more to learn about him from many
things I came to know after his death
In September 2000, he was in hospital for treatment of cancer and given just two months to live.
When he found out his reaction was an extremely rational one. He asked me to fetch files from
his cupboard so that he could explain the details of my mother's pension. He also dictated his
will from his hospital bed. 'Everything is under control' After Baba's death, Satish, our old family
retainer, was inconsolable
. We tried to cheer him up. "Your Baba had scolded me only once in all
these years he cried. Satish pointed to the watch on his left hand. I had been coming late for
work and everyone in the family was complaining about it,' said Satish. Then, one day, yuur Baba
gave me this watch and told me, "Now that you have a watch, you can't be late". That was the
scolding Satish received. On the fourth day after Baba's death, my sister and I had to performa
ceremony. Since several relatives were aspected, we decided to order lunch from a caterer in our
locality, who was reputed for his home cooked fond. But, when we went to pay the owner, we
got a surprise. He refused to accept any monyi When I wanted to start my catering business,
was your father who lent me money, he told
us. It seems Baba never asked for it back. Nowatter
four or five years, the caterer wanted to repy that debt. Of course, we made him accept the full
payment for the fine food and service. It was baba's gift and it ought to remain so, I told him
