bacilli, found in fermented foods like kimchi and yogurt. These
good bacteria help with digestion. Some studies show
fermented cabbage has compound that may prevent the

Question 26 to 31 are based on the following passage.

1 That morning on December 10, 2010, Roma Taljera arrived at the call centre bright and early.
She had been working there for two years and loved her job, connecting with customers and
making new friends. After work that Friday, she headed home alone after her shift, looking
forwards to having supper with her parents and brother, and a long phone chat with her fiancé
5
Vijay.

2 Managing to squeeze herself into a ladies’ compartment on the Mumbai suburban electric
train, she tried to settle into a corner near the door. Jammed between other women, she was
trying to find some space to stand safely on when she suddenly got pushed, lost her foothold and
was thrown out of the coach.

3 Baleshwar Mishra has a very different story. The lanky youngster, an unemployed high 10
school dropout, has recently come to Mumbai to look for a job. His job hunt had proved
fruitless and he was running out of options. He had spent his day with a friend, watched a
movie and boarded the train. Standing near the door of his train speeding in the opposite
direction, he could not believe what he had just seen - a young woman in black salwar kameez
lying next to the tracks. 15

4 “There’s a girl by the tracks!’ people cried out. Impulsively, Baleshwar grabbed the train’s
red emergency chain and pulled it down frantically. The train screeched, slowing down. “Let’s
go and help her!” he shouted to the other passengers. But nobody volunteered, afraid of getting
involved, of being inconvenienced perhaps. His heart hammering in his chest, Baleshwar
jumped off the still-moving train. As he landed on the ground, a burst of pain shot up his ankle. 20
But there was no real damage. He got up and started to sprint back between the tracks as his
train picked up the speed again and disappeared. “I hope I am not too late,” he thought, gasping
for breath. After running for several times, he found her sprawled by the side of the tracks.
“Sister, are you alright?’ But there was no response and no help in sight.

5 Baleshwar could see blood flowing out of the gash behind the young woman’s head. Saying 25
a silent prayer, he lifted Roma gingerly and made his way away across the track, searching for a
way out. He crossed through some shrubbery and followed the direction of the sounds until he
found the road. “My sister is injured,” he implored motorists who drove by. “Please help me
take her to the hospital.” But no one stopped.

6 Just when he was beginning to lose hope, a tempi-truck pulled over and its middle -aged 30
driver steeped out. “Help me,” Baleshwar pleaded and the man helped him lay Roma down in
the back of his truck. Ten minutes later, they arrived at a small hospital. But as the facility
lacked personnel and equipment, the on-duty physician was not able to do more than give basic
first aid. He advised that she be moved to a bigger hospital nearby. Baleshwar and the driver
had no choice but to move her back into the truck. When the vehicle moved, Roma stirred and 35
opened her eyes. Before she blacked out again, Baleshwar managed to get her name and her
brother Dinesh’s mobile phone number. He used the driver’s phone to call Dinesh

7 Dinesh rushed to the hospital and arrived at Divine Hospital minutes later. Dr Agarwal, the
medical director there, admitted her immediately to the intensive care unit. He asked Baleshwar
to hang around until Roma’s family arrived. They noticed then the driver, having done all he 40
could, had left quietly, “Oh, I couldn’t thank him!” Baleshwar thought.

Roma was still unconscious. But her X-rays showed that although the injuries looked severe,
8
all she needed were deep wound sutures. There would be no lasting damage, but Dr Agarwal

2
 believed she could have bled to death had nobody helped her. When Roma finally opened her
eyes that night, her brother and fiancé were by her side. She could barely speak; she just nodded 45
and fell asleep again.

When Baleshwar came to meet her the next morning, Roma was still partly sedated. Her
9
fiancé, Vijay, struggled to find the words. “Thank you,” he finally said to a smiling Baleshwar.
Roma was amazed to learn of the manner in which she had been rescued. “I think it’s
astonishing that a stranger would jump off a train and risk his life for me. I can never repay
50
Baleshwar.

“I am new to Mumbai, but I notice that people here are afraid,” Baleshwar, who is still
10
looking for a job, say. “They fear getting trapped in the courts or with the police.” So why did
he do it? “She needed help,” he simply says. “That day, it was Roma. Tomorrow, it could be
you or me by the tracks, bleeding and alone.” 55

11. Baleshwar Mishra endeavoured to save a young girl who had fallen off a moving train
even though he did not know her.

Write a summary on what he faced in his attempt to get her to the hospital.

Credit will be given for use of own words but care must be taken not to change the
original meaning.

The Living Photograph

My small grandmother is tall there,

straight-back, white broderie anglaise shirt,
pleated skirt, flat shoes, grey bun,
a kind, old smile round her eyes.
Her big hand holds mine,
white hand in black hand.
Her sharp blue eyes look her own death in the eye.

It was true after all that look.

My tall grandmother became small.
Her back round and hunched.
Her soup forgot to boil.
She went to the awful place grandmothers go.
Somewhere unknown, unthinkable.

But there she is still,

in the photo with me at three,
the crinkled smile is still living, breathing.
