Question

Ques 1 Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow them (12)

I was born in the small but beautiful mountain .Mountain village near Uttarkashi in Garhwal ,

with the gurguling , playful Bhagirathi river flowing nearby .My parents were a hard working and

extremely self -contained couple . Even though our family was poor , barely managing the

essentials , my father taught us how to live and maintain dignity and self respect -----the most

treasured family value till today .At the same time my parents also practised the Creed ,”

kindness is the essence of all religion .” They were large hearted , inviting village folk passing by

to have tea at our home , and gave grain to the sadhus and pandits who cane to the house . This

charachareristic has been ingrained in me so deeply that I am able to reach out to other and

make a different in their lives --- whether it is in my home , in society or at the workplace .

I was the third child in the family –girl ,boy ,girl ,girl and boy in that order and quite a rebel . I

developed a tendency to ask questions and was not satisfied with the customary way of life for a

girl child . When I found my elder brother , bachchan , encouraging our youngest brother , Raju

to take up mountaineering I thought , why not me ? I found that my brothers were always

getting prefential treatment and all opportunities and option were open to them . This made me

even more determined to not only do what the boys were doing , but to do it better .

The general thinking of mountain was that mountanireering as a sport was not for them .they

consider themselves to be born mountaineers as they had to up and down mountain slopes for

their daily livelihood and even for routine work .
