Sweta: Don’t flatter me. This is all the fruit of your hard work.

Omkar: Hey what are you doing? Would you like to come out to play?
Arvind: No. I’m a little busy right now. I’m writing a story for tomorrow’s storytelling competition.
Omkar: You have been working on that since the last week. How much more will you edit it?
Arvind: It’s a suspense story, Omkar. It has to be perfect or else it will lose its charm.
Omkar: That is true, but I have full faith in your skills. After all, you have been winning this competition for so many years now.
Arvind: That’s true. But that does not give me a reason to be careless with my work, does it?
Omkar: Yes you are right, but overdoing it is also dangerous, don’t you think?
Arvind: What do you mean?
Omkar: I mean you are so focused on this competition that you are neglecting every other thing like food, play, and your studies.
Arvind: I guess you have a point, Omkar. Come on, let’s go out.
Omkar: Finally! Let’s go.

Raj Singh: Which ID proofs should I get along with?
Bank Manager: We will need one photocopy of each of your ration cards, pan card, and Aadhar card.

Bank Manager: The clerk sitting at the desk opposite the cash counter will give it to you.
Raj Singh: What is the minimum deposit amount for opening an account?
Bank Manager: For a savings account, it is only 500 rupees. However, this amount cannot be withdrawn unless you wish to close your account permanently.

Bank Manager: Apart from your chequebook, SBI will provide you with an ATM/debit card, internet banking, and phone banking facility.
Raj Singh: Thanks a lot! You have really simplified the procedure for me.
Bank Manager: The pleasure is entirely mine.
Dr. Sunil: This is the third time in two months you have come to me complaining of stomach ache, Rakesh. Have you been eating frequently from outside?
Rakesh: I have my lunch from the school canteen, doctor.
Dr. Sunil: How is the food in taste and appearance?
Rakesh: The food tastes good, except that it is spicy sometimes. Often, it is soaked in excess oil.
Dr. Sunil: No wonder you are falling sick so often, Rakesh! Eating spicy food regularly upsets your digestive system. Does the oil in the food smell abnormal?
Rakesh: I don’t know really. But yes, my throat often aches after eating a meal that had excess oil.
Dr. Sunil: That is due to the poor quality of oil being used to make the food. Rakesh, you should stop eating from the canteen at once. If possible, eat home-cooked food and for a few weeks only eat light meals.
Rakesh: Okay, doctor. What can I include in my diet for the next few days?
Dr. Sunil: Have home-cooked food with minimum spices. Avoid over-intake of fibrous foods as they are heavy to digest. Have plenty of water and fruit. In a couple of weeks, your system will be back to normal.
Rakesh: Thank you, Doctor. I will avoid eating from outside henceforth.
Dr. Sunil: Yes, you should. Here are your medicines. In addition, please also engage in light exercise once a day so that you remain fit.
Rakesh: I will do that, doctor. Thank you for your time and consultation.
Dr. Sunil: Take care and get well soon Rakesh!
Mother: Looks like you had a lot of fun at school today. How was the Christmas party?
Riya: It was a truly spectacular mother. The children from the primary section enacted the Christmas story at the assembly.
Mother: Oh! That must have been really beautiful.
Riya: It was! Not only that; after a short speech by our school leader on the significance of Christmas, the school band played carols on their instruments. Mumma, you should have heard them, for a moment I felt like heaven had come down to Earth.
Mother: That does sound exceptional. I understand what you mean. Your school has a reputation for excelling in whatever it does.
Riya: Yes Mumma, it was! After that, we went to our class. There we played games with our teacher. It was great fun. We also had crib-making and classroom decoration competitions.
Mother: So, they kept y’all busy the whole day. Did they give y’all any snacks to eat?
Riya: Yes, they gave us Fruity, samosas, wafers, cake, and chocolates. I got many gifts from Santa Claus as well. He kept throwing them in all directions.
Mother: Well Riya, I’m glad that you had so much fun.
Riya: That I did, wait for Mumma there is more. I forgot to show you the gift I got. Every standard received a different toy. We received Brainvita. Playing this game is so much fun.
Mother: So, I see you opened it in the school itself.
Riya: Yes! Everyone did. We were so engrossed in it that we did not even realize when the bell rang at the end of the day.
Mother: That’s very nice. Be sure to thank your teachers when you go to school next for all the effort they put in.
Rajesh: Excuse me, what is your name, sir?
Beggar: My name is Dinesh Kumar. Why do you ask? You don’t need my name to curse me.
Rajesh: I do not wish to curse you, Mr. Kumar. I never saw you here before. You intrigue me; therefore, I want to know more about you. Who are you and why are you begging here?
Beggar: I cannot recollect the last time somebody called me by that name.
Rajesh: Tell me something about yourself.
Beggar: You know my name. Many years ago, I used to be a successful businessman dealing with scrap metals. The business was booming and I was surrounded by friends. I got married to a woman I loved and she bore me two children. I was a very good father fulfilling every desire my children had.
Rajesh: What changed that?
Beggar: I had a daughter and a son. When they got married, things started changing. Both of them vied for my business and property which I bequeathed to them. Once my son had control of my business, he ousted me. My daughter too, whom I gave my palatial house, threw me and my wife out.
Rajesh: Where did you go from there?
Beggar: My friends deserted me since I had no money. So, I begged for a living making enough to buy us two meals a day. My wife eventually succumbed to illnesses leaving me all alone in this world. At this age, I cannot beg. Sometimes I wait for death to catch up with me.
Sushant: Hello! May I speak to Mr. S. Kaushik?
S. Kaushik: Yes, who is this?
Sushant: Hello Sir. My name is Sushant. I saw the advertisement for your activity club in today’s newspaper and would like to enquire more about it.
Mr. Shah: Oh yes! We have recently opened an activity club for children of all age groups. I will be able to explain it to you further if you can tell me what exactly you are looking for.
Sushant: My son has a lot of free time, and since both my wife and I are working we would like to enrol him in a creative club.
S. Kaushik: We would be happy to oblige. What would you like to know?
Sushant: First, where exactly are you located?
Mr. Shah: Our club is located on the ground floor of Pravin Apartments which is about a 2–3 minute walk from the Santa Cruz railway station.
Sushant: Okay, could you give me some more details about the place?
Mr. Shah: We have converted a 1BHK flat into our club area furnished with colourful toys and other amenities. We also have a large garden at the back which can be accessed only through our flat.
Sushant: The place sounds safe enough. What activities do y’all teach?
Mr. Shah: We teach all forms of dance, singing, and craft. It’s an extensive list. I suggest you visit us once since it is impossible for me to list everything we do on a call.
Sushant: Okay, I will do that. Thank you for the information. I will call you back once I make up my mind.
