Class 12 English Flamingo Chapter 2 Lost Spring Worksheet Pdf
Read the extracts given below and answer the questions that follow.
1. My acquaintance with the barefoot ragpickers leads me to Seemapuri, a place on the periphery of Delhi yet miles away from it, metaphorically. Those who live here are squatters who came from Bangladesh back in 1971. Saheb’s family is among them. Seemapuri was then a wilderness. It still is, but it is no longer empty. In structures of mud, with roofs of tin and tarpaulin, devoid of sewage, drainage or running water, live 10,000 ragpickers. They have lived here for more than thirty years without an identity, without permits but with ration cards that get their names on voters’ lists and enable them to buy grain. Food is more important for survival than an identity.
Question. How did the author reach Seemapuri?
(i) obliged by his duty
(ii) by official orders

2. Food is more important for survival than an identity. ‘’If at the end of the day we can feed our families and go to bed without an aching stomach, we would rather live here than in the fields that gave us no grain,’’ say a group of women in tattered saris when I ask them why they left their beautiful land of green fields and rivers. Wherever they find food, they pitch their tents that become transit homes. Children grow up in them, becoming partners in survival. And survival in Seemapuri means rag-picking. Through the years, it has acquired the proportions of a fine art. Garbage to them is gold. It is their daily bread, a roof over their heads, even if it is a leaking roof. But for a child it is even more.

5. She still has bangles on her wrist, but no light in her eyes. “Ek waqt ser bhar khana bhi nahin khaya.” she says, in a voice drained of joy. She has not enjoyed even one full meal in her entire lifetime-that’s what she has reaped! Her husband, an old man with a flowing beard says, “I know nothing except bangles. All I have done is made a house for the family to live in.” Hearing him one wonders if he has achieved what many have failed in their lifetime. He has a roof over his head! The cry of not having money to do anything except carry on the business of making bangles, not even enough to eat, rings in every home. The young men echo the lament of the elders.

CBSE Class 12 English Chapter 2 Lost Spring Very Short Answer
Question. Why was Saheb unhappy working at the tea-stall?
Answer. Saheb was unhappy working at the tea-stall because he lost his freedom and found the steel canister of his master heavier than the plastic bag he used to carry as a rag-picker.
Question. What explanations does the author offer for the children not wearing footwear?
Answer. Travelling across the country the author has observed children walking barefoot in cities and on village roads. It does not lack money but a tradition to stay barefoot is one explanation. The author wonders if this is only an excuse to explain away a constant state of poverty
Question. Saheb was willing to go to school. How do you know this?
Answer. Yes, Saheb was willing to go to school. One day, the author asked him if he would come if she started a school. He showed his willingness but the school was never built.
Question. What makes the city of Firozabad famous?
Answer. Firozabad is famous for bangles. Every other family in Firozabad is engaged in making bangles. It is the centre of India’s glass blowing industry where families have spent
generations working around furnaces, welding glass, making bangles for women all over India.
Question. Who was Saheb and what did he do?
Answer. Saheb was a young boy. His family had migrated from Dhaka. Now he lived in Seemapuri, near Delhi. The members of his family were rag-pickers. Saheb used to search for something valuable or a coin in the garbage heaps.
CBSE Class 12 English Chapter 2 Lost Spring Short Answer
Question. Why does the author say that the bangle makers are caught in a vicious web?
Answer. The bangle makers in Firozabad are exploited at the hands of the Sahukars, middlemen, policemen, law makers, bureaucrats and politicians. They toil day and night, but are not paid appropriate wages and are steeped in poverty. They cannot form cooperatives for their betterment. Moreover, their children are also compelled to join the same trade at an early age and cannot dare to take up any other profession.
Question. What contrast do you notice between the colors of the bangles and the atmosphere of the place where these bangles are made?
Answer. The bangles made in Firozabad are of every hue(color) born out of the rainbow. They are sunny, gold, paddy green, royal blue, pink and purple. Boys and girls work in dark dingy huts next to the flames of oil lamps around the high heat to the furnaces, blowing glass, welding and soldering it to make bangles. The colors of the bangles ironically have no meaning for the bangle makers.
Question. In spite of despair and diseases pervading the lives of the slum children, they are not devoid of hope. How far do you agree?
Answer. In spite of growing up amidst despair and disease, children who live in the slum have the desire to achieve something big in life, like Mukesh. This shows that they are not devoid of hope. Saheb, a rag-picker is eager to go to a school and learn. Mukesh, who works in dark, dingy cells making bangles, dreams of becoming a motor mechanic, which is very much against his family tradition.
Question. Answer the following questions:
(1) Why is Firozabad famous for glass bangles?
(2) About 20,000 children work in bangle-making industry. Why is it illegal?
Answer. (1) It is the centre of India’s glass-blowing industry. Families have been engaged for generations in working around furnaces making glass bangles for the women of the whole country. Every other family in Firozabad is engaged in this work.
(2) The children work in the glass furnaces with high temperatures. They work in dingy cells without air and light. The work is hazardous to their minds and bodies. Children lose their eye-sight quite early. It is, therefore, illegal to employ children in such a hazardous industry.
Question. Draw a Character-sketch of Saheb?
Answer. Saheb-e-Alam was a rag picker who lived in Seemapuri. His family had migrated from Dhaka, Bangladesh to India in 1971 with the hope of finding better life conditions. Every morning he roamed about streets collecting garbage. Many other boys also accompanied him. His family lived in miserable conditions. He could not afford to go to school. He did not have even a pair of slippers to wear. He wished to play lawn tennis which was beyond his reach. He also found a job at a tea-stall where he ran various errands for the tea stall owner. Though he earned rupees eight hundred monthly along with meals everyday, yet he was not happy working there. His rag-picking bag was lighter than the canister. He was his own master; but now he had to work under someone.
CBSE Class 12 English Chapter 2 Lost Spring Long Answer
Question. “For the children, it is wrapped in wonder, for the elders, it is a means of survival.” What kind of life do the rag-pickers of Seemapuri lead?
Answer.
Seemapuri is a settlement of rag-pickers. It is a place on the outskirts of Delhi. Those who live here are squatters who came from Bangladesh in 1971. They live here without an identity and permits. They do have ration cards that enable them to vote and buy grain. Food is more important for them than their identity. Children grow up to become partners in survival. And survival in Seemapuri means rag-picking. Through the years it has acquired the ‘proportions of a fine art’. An army of barefoot children appears in the morning with their plastic bags on their shoulders. They disappear by noon. Garbage has a different meaning for children. For them, it is wrapped in `wonder’. They may find a rupee even a ten rupee note or a silver coin. There is always hope of finding more. But Seemapuri is a hell. Rag-pickers live in structures of mud. They have roofs of tin and tarpaulin. There is no sewage, drainage or running water. It is unimaginable that it is a part of Delhi.
Question. Hunger knows no friend but its feeder. The downtrodden lead a miserable life.
Elucidate the dictum keeping in mind the following lines:
“Survival in Seemapuri means rag-picking. Through the years, it has acquired the proportions of a fine art. Garbage to them is gold. It is their daily bread a roof over their heads,”
Answer. Poverty: A Vicious Circle
It is a well known saying that poverty is the root cause of all evils. Corruption, loot, begging and incidents of theft are the offspring of object poverty. The destitute lead a pitiable and miserable life. They do not get sufficient food. Lack of funds constrains them to take recourse to illegal activities. Slum dwellers always feel themselves dejected. They recognize only those beings who help them and feed them. Political leaders take undue advantages of their poverty. They are misused to win elections. Humanity, mankind, honesty, trust and love become significant when an individual succeeds in satisfying his hunger. Hungry people need only food. There is a dearth of people who are capable of converting obstacles into opportunities. These poor people are exploited ruthlessly by industrialists, politicians and other middlemen. They scrounge for gold in the garbage dumps to earn their livelihood. The hiatus between the rich and the poor seems difficult to be bridged. It is increasing day by day. The poor are becoming poorer and the rich richer. There is no human being who would like to work for their welfare. Their plight is pitiable and horrible. The residential areas of these people are packed with filth. They become habitual of foul smell. Poverty is a vicious circle. It never comes to an end. The unemployed youth are heading towards destruction. They do not remember anything except the help they receive from the opportunistic people who feed them to materialize their vested interests.
Question. Grinding poverty and traditions condemn the children of rag-pickers or bangle makers to a life of exploitation. Such children are deprived of all opportunities in life. Mukesh, who opts out of the existing profession of his forefathers by resolving to start a new job a motor mechanic symbolizes the modern youth.What lesson do we learn from Mukesh’s example?
Answer.
No doubt grinding poverty and tradition have condemned the children of rag-pickers and bangle makers to a life of exploitation. The rag-pickers’ children have accepted their fate to be barefoot as their tradition. Similarly, bangle makers persist with bangle making, saying it is their karma. Their spirits due to constant suppression and servitude make them incapable of raising their voices against injustice and exploitation. Mukesh symbolizes the modern youth who dares to fight with their destiny and change it. He has hope and aspiration to do differently and better his future. In spite of the environment, he is living in, and with no support from his family, Mukesh wants to break the age-old tradition to work as a bangle maker throughout his life. He wants to be a motor mechanic. This shows that one should not give up hope even in the worst circumstances and always strive to do better.
Question. There is no denying the fact that ‘Life is action and not contemplation.’ Those who shirk work and waste their time in thinking about bitter consequences never achieve greatness. They lack enthusiasm. Substantiate the aphorism keeping in mind the following lines:
“I will be a motor mechanic” “I will learn to drive a car”. His dream looms like a mirage amidst the dust of streets…”
Answer. Life is Action and not Contemplation
Initiation is the law of nature. Success depends on the actions taken by an individual. One has to take actions taken by an individual. One has to take actions without wasting time. Dreams give us directions. But it should not be forgotten that a man cannot become influential by only dreaming. One who does not utilize time fails to do anything significant in life. Actions shape the destiny of the beings. Contemplation destroys happiness. Aimless thinking aggravates woes and worries. It leads to now where. Such thinkers never get pleasure in this world of mortals. Those who believe in taking actions attain their long cherished goals with an astonishing ease. They never feel confused or perplexed. They never become a victim of depression. All the human beings are to perform their duties on the earth. Contemplation leads to idleness. Life is a judicious blend of contemplation and action. Contemplation transformed into actions is of utmost importance. Action without contemplation without is a sin. One should not waste time in thinking only. We should always remember that life is short and time is swift. Procrastination is the thief of time. One should not forget that there’s a time for everything. One should grab this opportune time to get success in life.
Question. ‘Lost Spring’ explains the grinding poverty and traditions that condemn thousands of people to a lift of abject poverty. Do you agree? Why/Why not?
Answer. ‘Lost Spring’ is indeed a description of the grinding poverty and traditions that condemn thousands of people to a life of abject poverty.Saheb, a young rag-picker is doomed to live a miserable life of poverty. He wants to go to school and play tennis. Due to poverty, he has to even give up his freedom and start working as a helper at a tea shop. Here he is burdened with the commands of his employer and is forced to live a miserable life. Another such example is that of Mukesh who belongs to a bangle maker’s family in Firozabad. He wants to be a motor mechanic. But his family traditions and poverty have forced him to work in the inhumane conditions of a bangle factory, in dark rooms and near hot furnaces.
Thus, the poor and destitute of both Seemapuri and Firozabad are caught in the web of poverty, servitude, suppression and exploitation.
