    Note : Attempt all questions.

    Read the following passage and answer the questions


    given below it.

    Vijay Tendulkar, the prolific Marathi playwright, has


    become a *name to be reckoned with not only as far as
    Marathi stage is concerned but also in Indian theatre. A
    journalist by profession, Tendulkar has tried his hand at
    various genres as a creative writer. These include
    articles, short stories, one act plays, dramas, screen
    plays and dialogues, literary criticism and translations.
    Though he has been successful in whatever he has tried,
    his forte remains drama. An excellent wielder of pen, he
    has won the Sangeet Natak Academy Award, the Kamla
    Devi Chattopadhyay Award and the Padma Bhushan.

    CS-610 (1) [P.T.O.]


    For Tendulkar the inspiration comes from the society
    around him. He is a keen observer of the human
    relationships especially in lower and middle class society.
    He has written twenty-eight full-length plays and in almost
    all of them, women play crucial roles in the plot. Whether
    it is Sakharam Binder, Shantata Court Chalu Aahe,
    Kamla, Gidhade Baby, Ghasiram Kotwal, Mitraci Gosta,
    Kanyadan or Ek Hatti Mulagi, one gets a feeling that there
    is an underlying current of sympathy towards the women
    characters created by him. In Shantata Court Chalu Aahe,
    although Tendulkar is looking closely at the tangled web
    of human relationships, yet in the end it is the heroine
    who comes out to be stronger than the male characters.

    In Shantata Court Chalu Aahe and Sakhram Binder,


    Tendulkar raises several questions about love, sex,
    marriage and moral values prevalent in the society. It is
    a society which asks everyone to confirm• to its own
    yardsticks of decorum and propriety. The writer makes
    ample use of irony, satire, pathos and even mock-element
    to highlight the hollowness of middle class moralities.
    These moralities might be having slight variations but at
    all times and all ages they remain the same.

    6. Summarize the following passage into a paragraph : [101

    An important aspect of socializing is "small talk" -informal


    conversation about things that are not important but
    establish your goodwill towards the other person and
    allow you to get to know him/her better. Small talk
    happens all the time between casual acquaintances,
    people travelling together, people you meet in the course
    of your work etc.

    The difference between socializing and chatting with your


    friends is that you have known your friends for a long
    time and can be open with them while small talk is made
    with people you may not know. Therefore, while
    socializing you have to be careful about the topics you

    CS-610 ( 5 ) [P.T.O.]
    discuss. Avoid subjects that can give offence and do not
    ask probing personal questions about age, salary, or
    marital status.

    Normally the conversation is about the weather, hotels,


    meals, entertainment, the news of the day etc. Very often
    the topics flow from the conversational contacts. The
    answers to questions and the comments that follow can
    provide a lead to the next topic. When someone makes
    small talk with you, do not give only monosyllabic.

    Yes or no answers. Add an opinion or ask for the other


    person's opinion or feeling.

    Another important aspect of small talk is the timing--


    how long one should carry on with it. The simple answer
    is not too long, particularly in a formal or business
    situation. One should not wait for the guest to signal that
    it is time for work or move on by looking at the watch or
    clipping open the file or brief case.
