Follow Ups
1.  Do you like helping others?
Yes, I do. I love helping others. I have realised it gives a lot of mental satisfaction and
happiness.
2.  Should parents teach helping others to their children?
Yes, of course. Parents are responsible for bringing their children into this world, and so it is
their duty to make their children into responsible citizens of the future. Parents don't
have to do anything special to accomplish this. They just have to lead by example.
Children will automatically follow their footsteps. If all citizens are helpful and nice, then
the whole world would become a nice place to live in.
3.  Do you think nowadays people do more good work as compared to the past?
I don't think so. Life in the past was simpler and slower. People helped each other a lot.
Now, everyone is in the rat race of money and materialism. No one has the time to help
others.
4.  Will you help others in the future?
Yes, definitely. I believe that we must do unto others as we want them to do unto us. If I will
help others, only then I can expect help from others when I need it.
5.  How do you encourage children to help others?
Nothing special is needed. Children are good observers and copy what their elders are
doing. All you have to do is help others and they will automatically follow.
6.  How do world social organizations such as Red Cross collect their funds worldwide?
They do so by advertising their work. They organise activities and involve young people in
them. They also take the help of media.
7.  Do small non-government organizations always need big organizations’ help or can they
collect funds themselves?
No, they do not always need big organisations help. If their projects are small, they can
manage on their own, otherwise they can seek help of their bigger counterparts.
8.  Do you think people in India should help foreigners who are visiting India and who need
help? (Why? / Why not?)
Definitely, yes. India is known for its hospitality and helpful nature. Guests are treated like
Gods. Tourists are our guests. If tourists need help, they should be helped. They will take
back happy memories and more and more tourists will flock-in in the future.

9.  What is the most important way for a country to help foreigners who are visiting the
country?
Foreigners can be helped by guiding them about our customs and traditions, so that they do
not unknowingly hurt anybody’s sentiments. They can be helped by providing them
good and hygienic food, which suits their taste. They can be helped by not fleecing them
when they buy some souvenirs.
10. Many people only look out for themselves and never think about helping others. What
do you think of this attitude?
I think such people are very short sighted. They do not thing that if they don't help others
they will also be left alone when they need help.
11. Do Indian people help others who need help, such as people in extreme poverty?
(How?)
Yes, Indian people help others who are in extreme poverty. Some help directly and some
help through charity organisations.

Describe a period in history which has always interested you
- 
When did it happen
- 
What happened
- 
Why are you interested in it
- 
Who told you first about it?
•  History has never been my favourite subject
•  But there are some periods of history, which have always fascinated me, such as the
period is the Indus Valley period
•  I recently saw the movie MohenjoDaro, which tells about the way people, lived
during those days.
•  First time I learnt about the period from my history book at school. My school also
organized a trip to National Museum, New Delhi where there are many seals and
pots from that period.
•  I also saw the plans of the Indus Valley Architecture.
•  Indus Valley people were very ahead of their times. They lived in cities with walls, in
a time period which dates back to 2600-1900 BC.
•  Many buildings like baths, bead factories , grainaries have been excavated at their
ruins.
•  An interesting thing about the Indus valley people was they lived in burnt brick
houses like today.
•  The streets met each other at right angles. There were drains, which could be
cleaned.
•  Also there were no places of worship, people worshipped nature elements like air,
water.
•  There are still many mysteries about this period that still need to be resolved.
•  There script has not been deciphered as of yet.
•  There is a mystery regarding the decline of the civilization.
•  Some scholars say that there was a massive earthquake.
•  Others say that outsiders attacked them.
•  Still others say that they died because they has prolonged droughts and famine
because of deforestation.
•  Sometimes I dream of going back to the past and uncovering all these hidden
mysteries.

Another idea
•  History has never been my favourite subject
•  But there are some periods of history, which have always fascinated me, such as the
period when India got freedom that is August 1947. Indus Valley period
•  I have seen many movies, based on that period, which have aroused my interest in
that period.
•  I saw Gadar and Pinjar, which tell about the way people suffered during those days.
•  My grandfather also tells me a lot of incidences of those times.
•  He was only 10 years old then, but he has very vivid memories.
•  I am interested in it because, today even as we are living a free life, we are always
grumbling about things.
•  First time I learnt about the independence of India was from my history book at
school, but when we hear about how people survived the hardships and started
their new life from scratch, we realise how lucky we are to be born in a free country.
•  My grandfather once told me that how my great grandfather witnessed the
JallianwalaBagh massacre, and how he survived by hiding under the dead bodies.
•  His stories give me goose pimples.
•  Especially his stories about the time of partition are really eye opening.
•  I learnt about the bloodbath that happened then and how people died and how they
travelled large distances to new countries.
