Cricket Match

Monu: What are you doing Tony?
Tony: I am praying to God to help India win the match.
Monu: Don't worry. India is definitely going to win this match.
Tony: Why are you so sure? Four wickets are already down and Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj are unable to face the fast balling attack.
Monu: Both these batsman are just trying to settle down with singles. Soon they will start hitting fours.
Tony: If India loses this match to Pakistan it will be a disgrace for the country. I am very tensed.
Monu: It is not a war my friend. Enjoy it like a game. Victory and defeat are part of it.
Tony: How can we enjoy if our enemy wins?

Tony: If India wins I shall give you a party.
Monu: Pakistan has made only 275 in 50 overs. India will be able to chase the target.
Tony: It is surprising Sachin and Saurav Ganguly didn't make runs today.
Monu: They are passing through a bad period. There form is not going well.
Tony: Laxman and Sehwag gave us a good start. But now India has lost 5 wickets. They still have to make 100 runs.
Monu: See Dravid hits a four. Both these batsmen are gaining confidence. They will definitely have a good partnership.
Tony: Then India may win. But we can't say anything surely in cricket. Anything can happen.

Admission Of A Child

Vandana: Hello Preeti, how are you? It seems you are a little worried.
Preeti: Yes, I am worried about the admission of my son. I don’t know what I should do.
Vandana: Why are you worrying? You can get him admitted in any good English medium school.
Preeti: I also want, but most of the good public schools demand huge donations, which lower middle class people like us can’t afford.
Vandana: Then why don’t you consider over a govt. school for him?
Preeti: In fact, the standard of education is not good in govt. schools. Although the teachers of these schools get good salaries yet they don’t take much interest in teaching the students. They are only interested in taking tuitions and earning more money.
Vandana: You are right Preeti. Due to that reason I got my children admitted in a public school. But even public schools are not perfect. My children have to take tuitions. And there are so much expenses that we find it difficult to make both ends meet.
Preeti: It is generally said that standard of education is much better in public schools than in govt. schools.
Vandana: I don’t think coaching is good in every public school. Though there are a few schools which really try hard to maintain a good reputation.
Preeti: But it is not easy to get the children admitted in those schools. And people like us can’t even meet the expenses.
Vandana: Yeah, it is true. Still we can’t say that those schools guarantee bright career for the students or freedom from headaches for the parents. You have to take pain and be careful even then.
Preeti: All these things have made me very confused and worried.
Vandana: Why don’t you get your son admitted in a govt. model school. These schools are similar to some good public schools.
Preeti: (Happily) It can solve my problem. I think a model school can be the best for my son under present circumstances. Will you accompany me to the nearest model school? I shall be thankful to you.
Vandana: Oh sure! Please come to my home at 8 am. But do talk to your husband first.

Mona: But to me it sounds like a refreshing change.
Ricky: Are you on some special assignment?
Mona: I am expected to assist the chief administrative officer Mr.Nair in a new project. Probably he hasn’t turned up yet.

Ricky: Did you watch the cricket highlights yesterday?
Mona: No, I don’t really follow cricket. Though I have some glimpses of the game off and on.

Ricky: Sehwag is in terrific form. Yesterday his sixty came up only in 30 balls.
Mona: Only one or two batmen can’t carry through the game on their shoulders. Moreover under pressure Indians collapse easily.

Mona: Let’s hope for the best. Since when have you been with the company?
Ricky: I joined last year as an assistant manager.
Mona: I think I must call Mr. Nair. I can’t sit idle for long.

Monica: It will really be a joyful picnic. We are only three. I think there should be at least 2 or 3 more persons.
Manish: We can ask our family members. I hope my sister will also agree to go with us. And Monica you can ask your brother.
Monica: He is always ready to go on picnics. Even my parents are fun-loving. They’ll also agree if I ask.
Naresh: No parents please. How can we enjoy freely in their presence?
Monica: When’ll we come back?
Naresh: We can move at 12 and come back by 6 or 7 in the evening.
Manish: Okay. The program has been decided now. Let us meet tomorrow at my home.
