II

a) Bring out the entrepreneurial qualities of Ritesh Agarwal.

Ans: One such successful entrepreneur is Ritesh Agrawal – who founded OYO Rooms when he was 19 years. His story, full of passion and perseverance, is worth reading.  Today OYO Rooms is the world’s leading chain of hotels, homes, and spaces. Ritesh is been named the youngest Indian in the rich list with a net worth of $1.1 billion (Rs 7,800 crore) according to Hurun Global Rich List 2020. "It is about having a passion for solving a big problem and leaving a huge impact. Once you have that, everything else falls into place. You take ownership, build conviction, and build capabilities to transfer that belief to investors, employees, and customers. You must be willing to stretch out of your comfort zone, take risks, and be emotional (in a good way) about your venture and the stakeholders involved."

"Thinking big is an important factor. Initially we used to think that we will have 10 properties, but over time, our aspiration grew – to aim to become one of the world’s largest hotel chains. This has brought us to the present scale where we are India’s largest and world’s 14th largest hotel network today. We have a clear direction to become the world’s largest hotel chain especially because of the capabilities we are building." "To be a successful entrepreneur, the first thing is building a great team of people. Most entrepreneurial ventures in India are run by the founders and their friends. I spent close to a year trying to bring some of the smartest people into our team, who were not only sharp but could also roll up their sleeves when required." "At times, we tend to get carried away by what we think are good ideas, but in reality, they may not serve the customer’s purpose in any way. It is crucial that we understand the customers’ requirements and direct our efforts towards providing the best possible solution to their requirements." "It is extremely important to build something that a 100 people absolutely love using rather than make something that a 1,000 people would just, kind of, like." "Your brand reflects your culture, purpose and identity. It’s never too early to start thinking about it. In the quest to grow fast, the foundation may often get ignored. Why do we exist? What do we stand for? Make sure you answer these questions and communicate them internally and externally."  "Founders often find themselves lost in a fog of activity, and need to step back and focus on a subset of decisions. "I aim to keep innovating for my customers. Learning to unlearn and learn again is my mantra of success."

b) Narrate the story “My Lost Dollar.”

Ans:  The story, ‘My Lost Dollar’, begins by the mention of the speaker’s friend, Major Todd and the dollar that he owed to the speaker. It had been a year and the speaker thought he would never return it. The speaker realized that Todd had completely forgotten about his loan because he met the speaker in the frank and friendly way as usual. Though the lost dollar did not matter much to the speaker, he thought that he would carry the recollection of it to the grave. It was not in his nature to forget about such things so easily. Then he mentioned how his dollar was lost. It was on the 8th of April last year. Todd was about to leave to Bermuda. He needed a dollar in change to pay for his taxi. He did not have it and asked the speaker to pay for him. The speaker gave it to him quite willingly. Todd came back after three weeks and the speaker went to receive him. From that day, he kept dropping hints for Todd so that he might remember his loan of one dollar. However, Todd never understood any of the hints. It took some time for the speaker to realize that he had completely forgotten the dollar. Nevertheless, he bore no grudge against Todd. He had simply added him to the list of men who own him a dollar and had forgotten about it. There were quite a few of them but this had not changed the speaker’s behaviour towards them. He only wished that he could forget his lost dollars. Meanwhile, a rather painful thought had begun to come into the mind of the speaker. He had begun to think that like Todd had forgotten about the dollar, it was possible that he too might own such dollars and had completely forgotten about them. Hence, he wanted to start a ‘Back to Honesty’ movement, so that such lost dollars could be repaid to their rightful owners. He wanted the people to remember that the greatest nations were built upon the rock basis of absolute honesty. Thus, we see that the whole story revolved around the dollar that the speaker had lost. Moreover, he mentioned all such dollars and talked about the probability of himself owing such dollars. Therefore, the title is justified.

a) Describe the painful, incident the child experienced in kindergarten?

Ans: On a lovely peaceful day, the kindergarten children were out on a picnic. The adult narrator recalls this event which occurred during her childhood.

b) Describe the act of killing a Tree.

Ans: Gieve Patel's poem "On Killing a Tree" is more profound than the title would pass on one to accept. While the depiction of a tree being killed is given, it is legitimate that Patel is talking about something totally different. In this manner, the poem would be a metaphorical one. The poem, overall, addresses the way that it is harder to kill a tree than a simple jab of the knife. In the end, killing a tree is truly harder. One should pull the tree out by the roots, expose the strength of the tree and permit the sun and the air to choke the life out of it.

Therefore, in a basic investigation, one should understand that Patel isn't just talking about killing a tree. All things being equal, the poet is showing the challenges one should face while attempting to bring out sentiments or feelings which lie somewhere inside. It isn't until one can expose the feelings, for what they truly are, that one can "kill" them. The poet is flawlessly composed. It gives a figurative picture to the strength that it takes to free one's self of profoundly covered sentiments and feelings. Starting to expose the "tree" won't kill it.

Patel's poet gives wonderfully fair language and symbolism, while additionally giving perfectly conscious exacting and figurative meanings. Fundamentally, the poet addresses the genuine significance of what the poet wished to pass on to the reader without being barefaced with the message. Patel, clearly, needs to interface with readers who read something other than the surface.
