Nylon appears like silk. It is strong and flexible. These endearing qualities of nylon created a public sensation, or nylon mania, when it was introduced in 1939. Women’s stockings made from this new fibre were in great demand. But, unfortunately, most of the nylon productions had to be diverted to making parachutes during the Second World War (1939-1945). After the War, when production of stockings resumed, supply did not match the demand. There was a huge black market for this product. Women had to wait for hours in queues to get a pair. Often there were ‘nylon riots’.

Question 10

Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the questions (Q. Nos 1-9) that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options:

The very nature of the mind is restlessness. It cannot stay at one place or hold one thought for long. For every thought that appears, there are comments, judgements and associations. Thinking is a continuous activity with the mind jumping from one thought to another from morning till night. Like clouds in the sky or waves in the ocean, thoughts appear and disappear as if in ceaseless activity.

However, all thoughts that pass through our mind do not affect us. But we get affected when our ego is hit. Then the mind whirls and creates a tornado of restlessness within. A variety of probable scenarios crop up ‘how dare he insult me; what does she think of herself? Where I am not respected, I will not go; if he speaks thus, I will reply so’. And so, it goes on and on.

We have an inbuilt filter in our mind which chooses the types of thoughts or subjects that we like to brood upon. We are not born with this filter but we acquire it over the years with the kind of books we read, the company we keep and the subjects we are interested in.

That is why some people are obsessed with football, cricket or fashion while others could not care less for such things. This filter is built day by day by our actions, suggestions, teachings and influence of others. We can ultimately choose our own filter. So, let us learn to build our filter wisely and strengthen it daily.

Thoughts affect us when our ….

पाठ्यक्रम को कक्षाक्रम से बहुत कड़ाई के साथ बांध देने के परिणामस्वरूप बच्चे का विकास एक अनवरत प्रक्रिया नहीं बन पाता, अपितु कृत्रिम खंडों में बंट जाता है। एक स्थिर पाठ्यक्रम बच्चे की व्यक्तिगत रुचियों और क्षमताओं के विकास में सहयोग न देकर एक मजबूरी बन जाता है, जिसे बच्चा और उसका अध्यापक दोनों बेबस होकर स्वीकार करते हैं। यदि एक बच्चा किसी विषय में अपने सहपाठियों से अधिक दिलचस्पी रखता है, तो पाठ्यक्रम की बदौलत उसे पूरे एक वर्ष या इससे भी अधिक प्रतीक्षा करनी होती है, जब वह उस विषय में कुछ अधिक विस्तृत जानकारी अध्यापक और नई पुस्तक से प्राप्त कर सकेगा। श्री अरविन्द आश्रम के शिक्षा केंद्र में, जहाँ पाठ्यक्रम पूर्व निर्धारित और स्थिर नहीं रहता, बच्चों को अपनी व्यक्तिगत रुची और सामर्थ्य के अनुसार किसी विषय की जानकारी की प्रगति जारी रखने की छूट रहती है। सामान्य स्कूलों में, जहाँ यह छूट नहीं दी जाती। होता प्रायः यह है किन कक्षा में आने पर उसे वही विषय बिलकुल नया और अपरिचित लगता है, जिसके बारे में काफी-कुछ वह पिछली कक्षा में जान चूका था। विशेष तौर पर ऐसा तब होता है, जब पाठ्यक्रम पाठ्यपुस्तकों का पर्याय हो, जैसा भारत में है।

"प्रतीक्षा" शब्द से एक नया शब्द बन सकता है।

हैरानी की बात यह है कि मेरी दलील मित्रों के हलक से नहीं उतरती थी, तब मैं उनसे कहता था- 'साहित्य की हर विधा को, हर तरह की लेखनी को मैं बतौर चुनौती स्वीकार करता हूँ। आम आदमी से लेकर खास आदमी तक के हृदय को छूना कोई मामूली बात नहीं होती। यह तो आप भी स्वीकार करेंगे, क्योंकि यह काम सिर्फ रामायण और महाभारत जैसे ग्रंथ ही कर पाते है। मेरी यह दलील रामबाण सिद्ध होती थी, वे सारे मित्र सोच में पड़ जाते थे, क्योंकि वे केवल किसी भी एक वर्ग के लिए लिख पाते थे- 'मास के लिए या 'क्लास' के लिए। उनके दायरे सीमित थे। लेकिन मैं दायरों के बाहर का शख्स हूँ। शायद इसी कारण मैं आपसे खुलकर अंतरंग बातें भी कर सकता हूँ। बात कहानी की रचना-प्रक्रिया से आरंभ की थी। तब मैं 'ओ. हेनरी' की एक कहानी पढ़ता था और भीतर दो नई कहानियों के बीज अपने आप पड़ जाते थे। न कोई मशक्कत, न कोई गहरी सोच। यह प्रोसेस मेरे लिए उतना ही आसान था जितना कि कैरम का खेल। फिर भी ये रचनाएँ कहानी के शिल्प में कहानी विधा के अंतर्गत लिखी गई पुख्ता किस्सागोई हैं। पर यह किस्सागोई जिंदगी से अलग नहीं हो सकती।

‘क्लास’ का अर्थ है -
