Twin Melodies Summary
This story is written by Phukan Mitra. The story is about a girl named Shruti whose dream was to become a member of Fusion Band and play at the concert. But her father Nabin Sharma was strictly against the western music. Shruti was the best violinist of the Sangeetika Music School. Her father Guru Nabin Sharma was the principal of the school. Guru Nabin Sharma had gifted Shruti a baby violin when she was just six years old and now after nine years she had been playing so well that the listeners always wanted more from her.
Shruti wanted to tell her father about her dream of playing in a Fusion Band and she decided to tell this tonight to her father. That night when Shruti, her father Nabin Sharma and her mother Leela Devi were having their dinner, Shruti told her father that she wanted to participate in the concert. Her father reminded her that she could not have a public performance more than once in six months and she has had her performance a few weeks ago. Nabin Sharma asked her about the concert. Shruti hesitatingly told her father that it was a fusion group and she wanted to play in that group. Nabin Sharma was very strict as he wanted his music to be as pure as possible.
Shruti told that she had lied to her mother that she was going to attend the science classes. In fact she was in her practice session and the whole group depended upon her for the concert. Nabin Sharma refused Shruti to take part in the concert. The next day she went to tell the members of her band who were in fact her friends that she could not take part in the concert. When she reached there everybody was practising for the concert. Shruti wanted to play once for the last time. As they finished up they heard a sound of applause. Shruti was astonished when she saw that her parents Nabin Sharma and Leela Devi were standing there and clapping to their performance.
Nabin was very excited that Shruti has kept the spirit of their raga alive. She has not mixed both the music. Everybody in Shruti’s band was very excited to hear their praise. Shruti wondered about change in her father’s mind. Nabin Master confessed before Shruti that it was her mother Leela Devi who reminded him that once Nabin Sharma himself had argued with his father to take up a western instrument just like Shruti. But now after listening to band Nabin Sharma was confident that their show is going to be a great success. He invited all the members of Shruti’s group to come and practice in their school as all his fears of losing Shruti were baseless.
यह कहानी फुकान मित्रा द्वारा लिखी गयी है। यह कहानी श्रुति नाम की लड़की के बारे में है जो Fusion Band का सदस्य बनना चाहती है। उसके पिता नवीन शर्मा पाश्चात्य संगीत के विरोधी थे। श्रुति संगीतिका स्कूल की बहुत ही अच्छी वायलिन वादक थी। उसके पिता नवीन शर्मा उसी स्कूल के प्रधानाध्यापक थे। नवीन शर्मा ने श्रुति को छह वर्ष की उम्र में ही वायलिन भेंट किया था और अब नौ साल के बाद वह इतनी कुशल हो चुकी थी कि श्रोता उसे सुनने के बाद पुन: सुनना चाहते थे।
आज वह अपने पिता को अपनी इच्छा के बारे में बताना चाहती है। उस रात जब उसके पिता नवीन शर्मा, माँ लीला देवी और श्रुति खाना खा रहे थे तब श्रुति ने उनके सामने सामूहिक संगीत में हिस्सा लेने की इच्छा व्यक्त की। इस बार उसके पिता याद दिलाते हैं कि वह छह महीने में केवल एक बार ही प्रदर्शन कर सकती है और कुछ हफ्ते पहले ही उसने संगीत प्रदर्शनी में भाग लिया था। नवीन शर्मा ने श्रुति से प्रदर्शन के बारे में पूछा। इस पर श्रुति ने बताया कि यह एक फ्यूजन समूह है जिसमें वह भाग लेना चाहती है।
श्रुति ने बताया कि वह बहुत हफ्तों से इसमें अभ्यास करने जा रही है। उसने नवीन शर्मा को यह भी बताया कि उसका पूरा समूह उस पर निर्भर करता है। नवीन शर्मा बहुत ही कठोर व्यक्ति थे। नवीन शर्मा ने श्रुति से उसमें भाग लेने से साफ इन्कार कर दिया। अगले दिन श्रुति ने फैसला किया कि वह अपने दोस्तों को बता देगी कि वह उनके समूह में हिस्सा नहीं ले सकती। जब वह अपने समूह के सदस्यों के बीच पहुँची तो उसने पाया कि सभी तन्मयता से अभ्यास कर रहे थे। उसने सोचा कि वह भी आखिरी बार वायलिन बजा ले। उसने तन्मयता से चिकारा बजाया ।
अभ्यास खत्म होने पर उन्होंने देखा कि नवीन शर्मा और लीला देवी तालियाँ बजाकर उनके प्रदर्शन की सराहना कर रहे थे। श्रुति को हैरान देखकर नवीन शर्मा ने बताया कि यह सब उसकी माँ लीला देवी के कारण हुआ है। लीला देवी ने उन्हें अहसास करवाया कि वे भी एक बार पाश्चात्य संगीत बजाना चाहते थे। अब नवीन शर्मा को इस बात का विश्वास था कि उनका प्रदर्शन जरूर सफल होगा। उन्होंने श्रुति के समूह के सभी सदस्यों को अपने संगीत विद्यालय में अभ्यास करने के लिए बुलाया। नवीन शर्मा श्रुति से बहुत प्रसन्न थे, क्योंकि अब उनके सभी तरह के भय खत्म हो चुके थे।

My First Visit to The Ballet Summary
This is an interesting poem of a girl who went to see ‘the Ballet’ for the first time. At that time she was hardly ten. She went to the theatre with her friend Lyuba. They took their tickets and settled into their seats. The girl was very excited. She only wanted to see the ballet caring about nothing. She always had the desire of watching a ballet. Her dream was going to come true that day. She wanted to see a lovely fairy who would come on the stage wearing a golden crown and a white dress. She sat with her eyes wide, opened, holding the ticket very tightly in her hand.
Suddenly, the trumpets and drum started beating. Hearing this both of them fell down on their seats. The girl realised that she didn’t have the tickets in her hand. The fairies had already come on the stage. They were dancing but she didn’t look at them. She was only searching the tickets everywhere on the floor. She crawled on the floor to the seventh row. The people wondered about who is crawling on the floor. She found the ticket but by then the ballet was over. Every one was going outside saying that it was a lovely ballet. She also decided to say the same to the school girls who would ask her about the ballet.

अचानक तुरही और ढोल बजने लगे जिसे सुनकर वे दोनों अपने सीट से नीचे गिर गयी। लड़की ने महसूस किया कि टिकट उसके हाथ में नहीं था। परियाँ मंच पर आ चुकी थी। वे नृत्य कर रही थी लेकिन उसने उनको नहीं देखा। वह केवल अपनी टिकट ढूंढ रही थी। वह रेंगकर सातवीं कतार तक पहुँच गयी। लोगों को आश्यर्च हो रहा था कि फर्स पर कौन रेंग रहा है। नृत्य समाप्त होने के बाद उसको टिकट मिली। सभी दर्शक बाहर निकलते हुये नृत्य की प्रशंसा कर रहे थे। उसने भी स्कूल में लड़कियों को ऐसा ही बताने का निर्णय किया कि नृत्य बहुत अच्छा था।

HEAL THE WORLD – NEED OF THE HOUR
In today’s time, there is a great need to heal the world. We all should live with harmony and love. We should try to help each other in the hour of need. Today we all are so ignorant that we hardly bother about others’ ambitions and desire. We all are busy in fulfilling our ambition. We don’t know why people have become so single-minded. Why do they forget that by helping each other they can achieve their ambition properly. If we don’t understand each other’s problem then how we can expect that our next generation will help each other. I would like to say that this is not a right way to live. In this way we are only inviting frustration and mental stress. At last I will only say that in order to live peacefully and successfully we should help each other, love each other and support each other. Only then this world can become a better place to live in.

C.1. Work with your partner. Write down what your views are about magic as a performing art. Is it a reality or an illusion?
Answer:
If you ask me about magic, I am of the opinion that magic is nothing but an illusion. Magic is not a reality, it just creates a psychic balance with the environment which makes the audience think that the magician is doing a magic in reality. It is nothing but a science that controls our mind and will-power. But people think that the magician has some supernatural power which is not the reality. Thus magic is merely an illusion of the mind.

He Really is the World’s Greatest Magician Summary
P.C. Sorcar is a very famous magician who is known for his magic in the country and abroad. He was having a show in the New Empire Theatre, Calcutta. We changed our flight to see his show as we could not afford to miss the show. When we reached the theatre we saw that P.C. Sorcar was rehearsing on back stage. The rehearsal took him 40 hours. P. C. Sorcar made us sit in the box office where we saw that all the advance booking seats were full. We walked around the city and found that everybody knew P.C. Sorcar there.
On the opening night the house was full and all types of people from all the regions had come to see the show. The show was two and half hours long and was the best show we had ever seen in our lives. Sorcar has an ability to make people laugh even in the most unlikely situation which holds the audience for a long time. Water from India’ which is produced by Sorcar with a large number of assistants is also a beautiful show. In this, a priest, wearing an orange robe comes in with a silver pitcher on a tray and calls Sorcar that it was a water from India.
Sorcar then calls upon people from Indian region and fills up their glass. His ‘Broomstick’ is also mind blowing. In this, there is the scene of the street in the city. It is dawn and people are just moving round. There is a little boy who is sculling newspaper on crutches. Sorcar took the boys’ crutches and put the boy upon it. Then he took another boy’s hula hoop and put it over the boy. In the end, the same boy threw the crutches away and skipped off the stage. Such shows are beautifully presented by Sorcar. Everything Sorcar does is done by putting his best efforts into the show which makes his show the best in the magic world.

बाहर जाकर जब हमने लोगों से पी०सी० सरकार के बारे में पूछा तो पाया कि सभी लोग उन्हें जानते हैं। उनका शो देखने के लिए हर तरह के लोग भिन्न-भिन्न जगहों से आये हुये थे। सरकार में लोगों को विपरीत परिस्थितियों में भी हँसाने की क्षमता है और इसे देख कर दर्शक मंत्रमुग्ध हो जाते हैं। उनका पहला शो ढाई घण्टे का था। Water from India’ उनका एक खूबसूरत शो है जिसमें एक पंडित उनके पास एक चाँदी का लोटा लेकर आता है और सरकार को बताता है कि यह भारत का पानी है। इसके बाद भारत के विभिन्न क्षेत्रों से संबंधित लोग सरकार के द्वारा बुलाये जाते हैं और उनके खाली गिलास भरे जाते हैं।
उनका ‘Broomstick’ भी बहुत अच्छा शो है। इसमें शहर के किसी गली का दृश्य है । सुबह का समय है और लोग इधर-इधर घूम रहे है। इसमें एक छोटा-सा बालक बैसाखियों के सहारे अखबार बेचता हुआ आता है। सरकार उससे उसकी बैसाखियाँ लेकर बैठा देता है। वह दूसरे लड़के से उसका hula hoop लेकर उसके ऊपर डाल देता है। उसके बाद वह लंगड़ा लड़का बिना बैसाखियों के अपने पैरों पर चलता हुआ बाहर चला जाता है। सरकार अपना हर शो दिलोजान से करते हैं। यही कारण है कि उनका हर शो सफल होता है।
