61.Dear All,
Have you heard about people who do business for a social cause? Yes, they are called
social entrepreneurs.I am very happy to introduce Irfan Alam, the smart and energetic
social entrepreneur from Bihar. He is here to inaugurate our Youth Club. He is the
founder and chairman of SammaaN Foundation. Started with a bank loan to redesign the
rickshaws,SammaaN has not got any funding from any donor or government. The
foundation gets its major revenue today from advertising. Rickshaw pullers get 50
percent of this revenue and this helps them. While catering to their economic security,
the company also engages with the families of the rickshaw pullers to provide social
security, education and even livelihood. The society needs more people like Irfan Alam
with innovative ideas. The Times of India has said that Irfan Alam is one of the top thirty
Youth icons of India. The then American President Barack Obama complimented him:
You are doing a tougher job than me. Friends, let’s give a big round of applause and
welcome Mr Irfan Alam.

62. A Tale of Friendship
February 11, 2023/ Bruce Lee
Antonio and Felix , known as amigo brothers, proved it to the world .
What an amazing match it was! The match was to find out who would represent the Boys
Club in the Golden Gloves .Both of them did their best to outwit the other. Both were
equally powerful as I already knew them for many years. Nobody fell to the canvas. At a
particular moment, only the sound of their loud blows could be heard. The crowd had
gone mute . I was thunderstruck! Even the referee was stunned by their savagery. At last
they embraced each other and left the ring hand in hand. What a pretty ending!They are
players who prepare and practice .They are players who get hurt but they also get up and
help to get up.They are players who win in life. I am proud of my friends. They went away
without receiving the prize. I believe as someone said, “There is nothing on this earth
more to be prized than true friendship”

A meek, immature girl or a bold straight forward lady? The character of Nomita
evokes ambivalent thoughts in the mind of readers though Ashapurna Debi, the
creator has done it purposefully so that she may be compared to a matchbox, as the
title goes. Nomita explodes when she learns that her mother’s letter to her was
opened and read but not given to her. She has to bear the insult and sarcastic
remarks of her husband of being a “dung picker‟s daughter who pretends to be a
queen”. It was too much. She grabs his matchbox and flares up her sari. Though
Ajit is able to put out the fire on her sari, he cannot put out the fire inside her.
Perhaps, Nomita lacks her own space and it is her effort to establish and reinforce
her “self”. Perhaps, she is sandwiched between her mother and her husband.
However, she tries to keep a happy face before the in-laws in that joint family even
