A Day's Wait
A Day's Wait
-Ernest Hemingway
He Came into the room to shut the windows while we were still in bed and I saw he looked ill.He was shivering . his face was white, and he walked slowly as though it ached to move.
'What's the matter ,Schatz?''
'I' ve got a headache.'
'You better go back to bed.'
'No, I'm all right.'
'You go to bed.I'll see you when I'm dressed.'
But when i came downstairs he was dressed,sitting by the fire,looking a very sick and miserable boy of nine years.When I put my hand on his forehead i knew he had a fever.
'You go up to bed .I said,'You are sick'
'I am all right 'He said .
when the doctor came he took the boy's temperature
'What is it?' i asked him .
'one hundred and two '
Downstairs, the doctor left three different medicines in different coloured capsules with instructions for giving them. one was to bring down the fever. another a purgative , the third to overcome an acid condition.The germs of influenza can only exist in an acid condition, he explained. he seemed to know all about influenza and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hundred and four degrees. This was a light epidemic of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia.
Back in the room i wrote the boy's temperature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules.
'Do you want me to read to you?'
'All right . if you want to,' said the boy . His face was very white and there were dark areas under his eyes.
He lay still in bed and seemed very detached from what was going on.
I read aloud from howard pyle's book of pirates; but i could see he was not following what i was reading.
'How do you feel,schatz? i asked him.
'Just the same, so far,' he said.
i sat at the foot of the bed and read to myself while i waited for it to be time to give another capsule. it would have been natural for him to go to sleep, but when i looked up he was looking at the foot of the bed , looking very strangely.
'Why don't you try to go to sleep? i'll wake up for the medicine.'
'i'd rather stay awake .'
After a while he said to me,'you don't have to stay here with me , papa,if it bother me.'
'No , i mean you don't have to stay if it's going to bother you.'
i thought perhaps he was a little light headed and after giving him the prescribed capsule at eleven o' clock i went out for a while.
it was a bright , cold day ,the ground covered with a sleet that had frozen so, that it seemed as if all the bare trees, the bushes, the cut brush and all the graas and the bare ground had been varnished with ice .
I took the young irish setter for a little walk up the road and along a frozen creek, but it was difficult to stand or walk on the glassy surface and the red dog slipped and slithered and fell twice, hard , once dropping my gun and having it slide over the ice.
We flushed a covey of quail under a high clay bank with overhanging brush and killed two as they went out of sight over the top of the bank. some of the covey lit the trees , but most of them scattered in to brush piles and it was necessary to jump on the ice-coated mounds of brush several times before they would flush.cornning
out while you were poised unsteadily on the icy,springy brush they made difficult shooting and killed two,missed five, and started back pleased to have found a covey close to the house and happy there were so many left to find on another day.
At the house they said the boy had refused to let anyone come into the room.
'You can't come in,' he said .'You mustn't get what i have '.
I Went up to him and found him in exactly the position i had left him, white faced, but with the tops of his cheeks flushed by the fever, staring still,as he had stared, at the foot of the bed. I took his temperature.
'What is it?'
'Something like a hundred,' i said. it was one hundred and two and four tenth.
'it was a hundred and two,' he said
''
Who said so? '
'The doctor.'
Your temperature is all right,' i said it's nothing to worry about.'
'i don't worry,' he said, 'but i can 't keep from thinking.'
'Don't think,' i said .'just take it easy'.
'I am taking it easy ', he said and looked straight ahead. he was evidently holding tight onto himself about something.
'Take this with water.'
'Do you think it will do any good?'
'Of course it will.'
I sat down and opened the Pirate book and commenced to read , but i could see he was not following , so stopped.
'About what time do you think i 'm going to die?' he asked
'What?
'About how long will it be before i die?'
'You aren't going to die . What's the matter with you?'
Oh yes , i am . i heard him say a hundred and two.'
That's a silly way to talk .'
'I know they do . at school in france the boys told me you can't live with forty- four degrees. i've got a hundred and two.'
He had been waiting to die all day, ever since nine o'clock in the morning.
You poor schatz,' i said . 'Poor old schatz. it's like miles and kilometers. You aren't going to die . That's a different thermometer. On that thermometer thirty seven is normal. On this kind it's ninety-eight.'
'Are you sure?'
'Absolutely,' i said . it's like miles and kilometers. You know, like how many kilometers we make when we do seventy in the car?'
'Oh , he said .
But his gaze at the foot of his bed relaxed slowly. The hold over himself relaxed too , finally, and the next day it was very slack and he cried very easily at little things that were of no importance.

A Little Embarrassing
. I Know it's little embarrassing to say 'no' to a friend.However ,in this case since the mobile is absolutely new, i'd have no hesitation in saying that I Can't let him borrow it until I have used myself .what's important is to be firm when you say 'no'.
I don't think you need to feel embarrassed about it.Your 'no' is weak when you don't look into the eyes of the person and when you are very tentative.What makes the difference is the way you say it. I'm very particular that i must be the fist person who enjoys the warmth of it.So give me a chance .'So,what is important is ;be firm ,look into the eyes ,and never be tentative

The Art of Persuasion
The Art of Persuasion
- Roedy Green
The art of persuasion can be used to get people to buy material goods or to convince your parents to give you m ore pocket money. What I am interested in is using the art of persuasion to sell ideas .You might use it to sell an idea like new computer architecture, the end of hunger or a sustainable ecology. You might use it to persude people to give up some bad habit like smoking tobacco , abusing alcohol ,an obsolete violent religion or cruelty to animal and children . Here are the techniques I have learned. You can try them to win people over to your point of view. Knowledge of these techniques may also be useful in defending yourself from persuasion by people who are considering only their personal benefit.

Mumbai ( Cotton Textile Industry )
Cotton Textile Industry In Mumbai
History of the Textile Industry
The cotton textile Industry of india has a glorious history. indian handloom once produced matchless fabrics which were highly esteemed in the international market. We find mention of indian calicos in marco polo's account too. during the british rule, the industries in india were ruthlessly suppressed by political measures but this industry could not be crushed as it was a part of our agricultural economy.The modern textile industry made its beginning in 1818 at fort glaster near kolkata however it closed down after some time. the real beginning had to wait till 1854 when bombay spinning and weaving co ltd was set up.
The new location proved to be so favourable that many more mills started opening as the chinese yarn market was captured by the japanese by about 1920, fresh new mills were required in india to supply yarns to china along with this the Swadeshi movement and the grant
of fiscal protection provided a strong impetus to the growth of the cotton textile industry. the industry suffered a setback in1947 when,as a result of partition,large cotton growing areas went over to pakistan .but this allowed more areas to be brought under cotton cultivation in maharashtra, gujarat and tamilnadu.at present,cotton textile industry in india,
Reasons for Early Start The initial concentration of cotton mills in mumbai was due to many factors;
Reasons for Early Start The initial concentration of cotton mills in mumbai was due to many factors;
- Raw cotton for mills was readily available in the hinter land more over cotton used to be brought here for export long stapled cotton was also imported to mumbai from Egypt and sudan.

- Mumbai enjoyed the most favourable transport system both with regard to raw cotton and market. The opening of the railway link to thane and Deccan favoured the transport of raw cotton
