Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
In Delhi where 80% of the people are pedestrians in some stage of their
commuting,
least attention is paid in pedestrian paths. Delhi’s side walks are too narrow, very
poorly
maintained and full of potholes poles, junction boxes and dangerous electrical
installation, not
to speak of the garbage dumps that stink and stare at the pedestrian Ashram
Chowk is a
good case in point where thousands of pedestrian change direction from the
Mathura road
radial to the Ring Road. A flyover facilitates the automobiles.
While the pedestrian is orphaned by the investment hungry authorities. One
corner
of the Ashram Chowk has a ridiculous imitation wood sculpture with an apology
of a fountain and across the same Chowk you have the open mouthed massive
garbage dump right on the pedestrain path in full exhibition for the benefit of the
public. These symbols of poor taste and object apathy are then connected by
narrow dangerous and often waterlogged footpaths for the helpless pedestrian to
negotiate. In the night street lighting in the central median light up the
carriageway for cars and leave the pedestrian areas in darkness.

Delhi’s citizens leave and want to get to their destination as fast they can. No one
wants to linger on the road, no leisure walks, no one looks a stranger in the eye. It
is on the pedestrian path that citizen encounters head on the poor public man
agement and the excuse called multiplicity of authorities One agency makes the
road, another digs it up to lay cables, third one comes after months to clear up
the mess and the cycle of unaccountability goes on.

Meanwhile crores are spent in reparing the carriageway for vehicles and in
construction of the flyovers without a care for the pedestrian below. Solution
offerd is to make an expensive underpass or an ugly foot overbridge, ostensibly
for facilitating the pedestrian, while in reality they only facilitate the car to move
faster at the expense of the pedestrian. Take Kashmiri gate, ITO, Ashram Chowk,
AIIMS. or Dhaula Kuan, at all these important, at pedestrian crossover points the
story is the same. They have pulled the sidewalk from the pedestrian’s feet.

In modern cities across the world, the pedestrian is king. The floor of the city is
designed and maintained as an inclusive environment, helping the physically
challenged, the old and the infirm children and the ordinary citizens to move
joyful across the city, Delhi aspires to be world class city Hopefully the authorities
would look once again at the floor of Delhi. The pleasure of strolling on the road is
deeply connected to our sense of citizenship and sense of belonging. Pride in the
city gorws only on a well designed floor of the city.

Passage 2
In the Vedic calendar, summer is a time for happiness, abundance, and celebration. Trees
are laden with fruits, nature’s bountiful Sustenance. Vegetables and herbs are filling out the
garden. Tall grasses grace meadows, and children play outdoors. Natuarlly, we experience
fullness, fulfillment, and leisure. Cultures all over the world celebrate summer by venerating
solar deities, celebrating bountiful crops, feasting outdoors and honouring their spiritual
reunion
with the earth.
To achieve a sense of balance, cooling activities are sought to lessen the heat of the
season. Bathing festivals are a prominent part of the Vedic culture. For example, Snanam
yatra is an auspicious bathing festival occurring in the summer. The season is active and
mostly lived outdoors. It provides you with endless chances to cultivate a life of inner
harmony—ahimsa—and to ward off heated emotions and anxieties in-herent with living in
overdrive.
When we take care to cross over this season’s rhythms with mindfulness, we find
plentiful energy to celebrate the abundance and richness of summer that surrounds us. On
the other hand, when we are out of balance with seasonal rhythms, we may find ourselves
listless, lethargic and exhausted from the heat of the summer. To prevent dehydration, drink
plenty of water. If your pitta, fire humour, is not well cared for during the spring season, it
will manifest though heat-related conditions causing general pitta symptioms like weak
digestion, fevers, skin disorders, bile accumulation, sunstroke, irritability and listlessness.
This is a wonderful time for rejuvenating baths, swimming and wading and taking
‘moon baths’ by sitting in the moonlight to assuage mind and spirit with Goddess Lalita’s
cooling rays. Surround yourself with fragrant scents from flowers and pure essential oils,
and wear light, natural fibres and light comfortable clothing. Observe two days of fasting or
semi-fasting on Ekadashi.
To strengthen digestion, take light meals with fresh salads; eat chapatis with light
grain such as cracked wheat, bulgur and basmati rice and have sprouted beans and dhals or
bean dishes made with mung, kidney, lentil and soybeans. Eat plenty of fruits such as figs,
grapes, mangoes, melons, peaches and pomegranates. Steam or lightly cook your vegetables.
Beets, brocoli, cauliflower, celery, okra, radishes, snow peas, string beans, summer squash,
sweet corn, sweet pepers, and Swiss chard are a few of the prolific variety of garden fresh
foods available to you during the summer. Take an occasional afternoon siesta. Follow the
rhythms of summer and recover
playfulness, joy and abundance.
Summer is a wonderful time for enjoying nature’s abundant foods and harnessing
their cooling energies to maintain balance during the solar activities of this season. Your
summer menu should have plenty of colourful provisions for your nourishment.
Summer is your chance to learn the exquisite art of rolling out Indian flatbreads and
dunking them into the blissfully golden nourishment of summer dhals. Living Ahimsa Diet,
Nourishing Love & Life.
