Dear Majidi sir,
I have watched a few films directed by you. Following it I made enquiries about the films you have made. What I understand is that your films have one unique popularity.
Would you be kind enough to let me know the inspiration behind your films. I would also
request you to be good enough to let me know about your current film projects.
May I hope you won’t mind spending some of your valuable time to quench my curiosity.
Yours sincerely,

Rahul.
2) Read the passage from the screenplay My Sister’s Shoes and answer the questions that follow:
A small group of men are waiting in a queue outside the bakery to buy nan. The outline of buildings in the street is seen in the distance. Ali is seen coming out from the bakery into the footpath, the parcel of nan in his right hand and the parcel of shoes in his left. He crosses the pavement and walks into a vegetable store. He places the bundle of nan on top of a pile of boxes of vegetables stacked in front of the shop and the bag of shoes in the small gap between two boxes.
On the soundtrack a hawker’s voice is heard: ‘Salt, salt for trade.’ The shopkeeper is seen standing behind the counter.
Ali (to the shopkeeper): Assalamu Alaikkum, Akbar Aqa, I need some potatoes.
Akbar, the shopkeeper gives Ali a small black bag to put potatoes in. Ali starts picking the large, wholesome potatoes in a box at the top of the heap.
Akbar: Not those, kid. Pick some down there.
Ali moves to his right, squats down and fills the bag with smaller potatoes from a box on the floor. Close up of Ali picking the potatoes.

3. ‘Zahra, if you tell dad, he’ll beat both of us. Because he doesn’t have money to buy you a pair of shoes’- Do you think Ali’s
family is poor? Describe the condition of Ali’s family on the basis of your reading of the
screenplay ‘My Sister’s Shoes’.
(Hints: father- works at home- no permanent job- mother- not well -condition of the house- life of children)
Ali and Zahra were two poor school children. Their mother was ill. The father’s earnings were very little. Ali got Zahra’s shoes
repaired. But he lost it at the greengrocer’s shop. He tried to pacify his sister Zahra. She is heartbroken as she did not have another pair of shoes to go to school. The children knew the poor conditions of their home. Hence they hid the news from their parents. They had to communicate with each other by writing in their note books. But the stub of Zahra’s pencil broke. There was no other pencil or even a stub. Ali offers his own pair of old sneakers until he finds a new pair of shoes for his sister.
The story throws light on the pathetic conditions of Ali’s family.
