Model Answer 1:
Travelling is a hobby for me and often I go for travels in different parts of India.
Usually, I prefer train journey where I have chances
to meet with people of
different strata. Last week, I went to Kolkata by train and had a fruitful
conversation with a stranger.
I boarded in the train after my supper at the station. Usually, I travel in a chair
and avoid berths in order to meet people. A man with a white beard had his
seat beside me.
After a brief introduction, we started the conversation. The
conversation went round the night. We took a short break during the
discussion as well. It was a highly interesting experience for me as the aged
and enriched man shared a good number of issues with me. Both of us were
too attentive in the discussion that none of us cared that the sun was rising.
Suddenly I noticed the matter and humbly requested the man to conclude the
discussion as my stoppage was also appearing. Finally,
I got down off the train
in Kolkata while the man was still on board for his destination. Both of us
promised to keep in touch.
I had the discussion with a Muslim man named Mr. Mohammad Ameer Ali. He
was a scholar and a local college teacher. He was a smart man with his gently
cared beard, a cap on his head (used for prayer) with a white Punjabi and
kurta. He was moderately tall and healthy. He has been in living in Howrah for
a long time and said that his parents and forefathers
stayed in the country
since the independence. Many of the Muslims migrated in Pakistan but his
family did not for many reasons. He was kind to others and I have found that
he is familiar with many of the people including the ticket collector of the train
who addressed him as – Mian Sahiv. It was also my pleasure to meet a man like
him and later I came to know that he teaches history
in Lalbaba College in
Howrah under West Bengal. It appeared to me that he was a fatherly figure to
all of his students and I wish I were one of those!
We talked about a good number of issues. In fact, I was an attentive listener
and grabbed all the speeches delivered by Mr. Ali. It was a pleasant
environment. The sky was clear and we sat beside a window. The moonlight
was illuminating the entire place inside the wagon. In such a moment, the
discussion began with the issues of politics.
Then it moved to philosophy,
history and mostly religion. Mr. Ali carefully described the key cause of chaos
around us. His speeches were magical indeed.
Earlier, I had numerous misconceptions about politics, religions and historical
issues. But Mr. Ali informed me all the past events one after another and
consequently my knowledge level increased suddenly.
I was amazed with the
past stories of my state and how the rulers ruled the country peacefully.
Different dynasty came here and ruled the common people while they also
took proper care for them. Besides, many of the Muslim religious leaders also
arrived in India to preach their religion, Islam. But currently we have some
conflicts with religious issues and I was influenced
with the explanations
provided by Mr. Ali over the conflicts. I think he was right. Moreover, he did
not even slightly hurt my religious belief as well with his speech. The most
important learning from the conversation was to love the creatures. I had no
idea about the issue and now repenting that I made mistakes. Besides, he
advised me to care about my parents and relatives. I, in fact, following his
advice in my real life. Really the conversation was one of the bests in my life.
