| CLASS 10 English 2nd Language 2021 MODEL ACTIVITY TASK |
I was having tea at home on the evening of 30th January, 1948, when I was called to Birla
house by an urgent telephone. Gandhiji had been shot on his way to a prayer meeting.
I was numb with shock as I got into the car.
At the Birla House, Gandhiji’s relatives and followers had gathered round his body.
There was silence in the room as Gandhiji breathed his last. Words of Bapuji’s death
had spread through Delhi like a flame fanned by wind. Sad groups of men and women
had collected around Birla House. Out of every window one could see a brown blur of faces.
They did not make a sound. There was an unnatural silence. It was as if time stood still
for those few minutes.
The people were too stunned to speak in the beginning. Later they clamoured wildly,
shouting and crying. They jostled one another in a stampede to break into the house.
They calmed a little when it was announced that they would be allowed to see Gandhiji
before the funeral.

Neither can you crack a nut.’
