was more than three storeyed. Mumbai however was full or

skyscrapers. At IIT, most of the students and professors

used to converse in
English whereas my English was very
poor. I had my entire education in Marathi. My spoken
English was quite pathetic. Not only did I have a very weak
vocabulary, but, my pronunciation also was terrible and my
construction of English sentences very awkward to say the
least. Due to all this, I was feeling quite lonely and terrified in
Mumbai in general and IIT in particular. I had developed an
inferiority complex and wanted to run away from IIT and
even Mumbai.
One day, I was sitting at my mess table in the hostel
Sipping tea when a senior guy came and sat on the chair
adjacent to mei He was a convent educated guy with fairly
sophisticated English-at least spoken or colloquial English.
He was a bit arrogant and wanted to pull my leg. He tried to
engage in some conversation with me and started pointing
out errors in just about every sentence or everything that I
said. After about 5 minutes he walked away after
insulting
me.

I felt extremely humiliated and upset. As it is, I was

feeling quite depressed and diffident and this incident was
the last straw I was almost broken. I felt out of place there
and literally wanted to run away to Solapur that very moment.
However, it was only my self-esteem which stopped me.
Suddenly, a feeling of determination and strength came over
me and gripped me.

Q. 2. (A) Read the following extract and complete the activities given
below (12) [18
The govemment of India is encouraging medical tourism
incentives
in the country by offering tax benefits and export
to participating
the hospitals. Medical visas are being cleared
the
quickly without any hassles. With a view to facilitating
of Health
growth of medical tourism industry, the Ministry
has
and Family Welfare along with the Ministry of Tourism
set up a task force to evaluate the opportunities in the industry.
Efforts are being made to standardise procedures and to
to select the hospitals most suited to
guide foreign patients
their needs. Meanwhile, several private hospitals are seeking
to take advantage of the booming medical tourism industry
and skills.
and are investing hugely in acquiring equipments
Page 5 P.T.O
 However, medical tourism carries some risks that locally
provided medical care does not. Some countries like India,
Malaysia and Thailand have very different infectious diseases
rarely found in Europe and North America. Exposure to
diseases without having built-up natural
immunity can be a
hazard for weak individuals
specially with respect to
gastrointestinal diseases like Hepatitis A, amoebic dysentery
etc., which could slow down the
recovery process. Also,
medical tourists may be at risk from
mosquito-transmitted
diseases, influenza and tuberculosis. The
quality of post-
operative care can also vary dramaticaily depending on the
hospital and the country. Finally, after returning home, a
patient has a limited contact with their surgeon. This may
make it difficult to deal with any complications that may
arise later, such as a
delayed infection.
The concept of medical tourism raises some
important
questions regarding accessibility, affordability and ethics in
medical care. It is unfortunate that a
large section of the
Indian population has little or no access to
private health
care. Public health care
system is inadequate and lacks proper
infrastructure and facilities. One wonders if it is sensible to
make provisions for medical tourism in a democratic
country
like India, which has failed to provide nourishment, sanitation
and health care to its masses.

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven trees,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Page 10
 Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, ando'erthat brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
Amind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!
