In the book Anirudh’s dream, the reader is transported to the mist-clad mountains
surrounding Khadakvasla dam near Pune. The initial part of the adventure is set in the
sprawling and green campus of National Defence Academy (NDA). The author is successful
in recreating the charm and spirit of a rainy day on the Khadakvasla lake beautifully. There is
action, emotion, courage, presence of mind and friendship that are depicted in this tale of
adventure. After the initial sail boat race at Khadakvasla, the scene shifts to the mountain
forts of Sahyadri with a bit of Shivaji Maharaj’s history added to the trekking adventure. The
observations of the author pertaining to the flora, fauna and culture of the place are very
minute. Dialogues throughout the book are lively. Suddenly there is a twist in the storyline
and the characters and locations change in flashback that is shown as a dream sequence. The
reader is transported back to the old world colonial charm of Mumbai and its surroundings
that were teeming with greenery and wildlife in those times (probably 150 years ago). The
main protagonist − Anirudh (Irfan in the dream sequence, which sounds like the past birth of
Anirudh) is a mixed personality, daring in some situations and afraid in others. His band of
friends completes a youthful spirit of adventure.

Read and understand the following passage and complete the activities given below. [10]
The next morning was unnaturally uneventful. We lazed around all day, my sister
watching cartoons on the idiot box and I reading a Jeffrey Archer. Throughout, my mind kept
wandering back to that morning.
At around noon, Grandma left home with my sister in town, to buy vegetables. The
moment the door banged shut, Grandpa abandoned his newspaper, and called me to his room.
“Beta”, he called out, “help me with these… sort these papers out. One-Side-used over here,
both-sides-used here, and blank papers here.” The work was easy, but time-consuming.
“What are you going to do with these, Grandpa?” I asked him, trying my best to sound
non-accusatory.
“These computer people don’t respect paper. Everyday, they throw away all these
sheets. They’ve given me the keys to open the gate for the sweeper when he comes at 6 am.
He takes and gives them to the kabadiwala, who disposes them carelessly. So, instead, I do
half his job for him.”
I was amazed by how much importance he was giving to such a trivial matter.
Everyday, my friends and I would waste hundreds of sheets at the drop of a hat.
Pointing to the ‘used up pile’, which was the smallest, he said, “These, I’ll give to the
moori wala downstairs. I’ll use the one-side-used papers for my accounts, and also give some
to the poor children at the NGO. They practice maths on them.”
I was shocked. I learned that the old man had been doing this for months now. This
wasn’t any spying mission, but a real, concrete, genuine effort to save paper and the planet.
I stared at the septuagenarian in awe. No school education on the environment had ever
made an impression on me or my classmates or anyone, so to speak. But his lone endeavour
made me realize it all. For the first time, I truly understood.
