Q14 of 29 Page 11

Two friends meet after 25 years at the Alumni Meet of their school. One is a Manager in a

multinational firm, and the other is a Professor at the university. Imagine a conversation


between the two. You may include the following:


1. Their 'dream job'


2. Nature of their chosen career


3. Rewards or regrets

Anika – Hello Mamta, it is such a pleasure to see you after such a long time! What have you been up to all these years?


Mamta – Hello Anika, it’s great to see you too! After completing my higher education, I decided that teaching young minds was the perfect job for me. That’s why I have been working as a professor in the Delhi University for over 10 years now. What about you?


Anika – That is such a noble profession. Well, I took the business road. I have been working as the manager of the MNC Ehsas for the longest time.


Mamta – That sounds so thrilling, all the intrigues of the business world!


Anika – At times, the stress of the fast-paced world of my career gets to me. It makes me want to simply take some time off. However, it still is my dream job. I would not have done it any other way.


Mamta – Well teaching too at times is not that noble. Students often don’t respond, and the university doesn’t treat teachers well. Yet, I feel a sense of satisfaction in educating young minds. After all, this was my dream.


Anika – I guess then we both have done pretty well for ourselves!


Mamta – Ha-ha, you are absolutely correct! See you later then, bye!


Anika – Bye!
