Of all the fitness and wellness activities customary in India, Artistic Yoga is the new kid in town. It has
successfully earned a pat on the back from whosoever has lent an ear to the latest advancements.
Artistic yoga combines the suaveness of yoga and the frenzy of modern cardio-vascular exercises. The
technique involves performance of various aasanas and pranayams followed by walking on a treadmill,
stair climbing, cycling and so on. The activities are performed in a cyclic order and the aasana or
pranayama that is done in the beginning is repeated in the end. This helps an individual at the physical
level as well as the mental and spiritual level, thus helping bring about a complete transformation of
body, mind and soul.
Artistic yoga helps in the overall development of those who practice it
Artistic yoga has been adopted by modern people since it is in fashion these days.
All the activities performed at the beginning of artistic yoga are also repeated in the end.
Since it combines yoga and exercises, artistic yoga will replace other fitness and wellness
programmes.

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
When the thriller writer Robert Ludlum died in March 2001, several of his obituarists tellingly recalled
the reaction of a Washington Post reviewer to one of the author's many, phenomenally popular novels:
`It's a lousy book. So I stayed up until 3am to finish it.' This anecdotal, tongue-in-cheek confession
neatly captures the ambivalence associated with a hugely successful mode of crime writing, a guilty
sense that its lack of literary merit has always somehow been inseparable from the compulsiveness
with which its narrative pleasures are greedily gobbled up, relegating the thriller to the most
undeserving of genres.
To describe a thriller as `deeply satisfying and sophisticated' (to pluck a blurb at random from the
bookshelves) is already to beg the insidious question: how satisfying and sophisticated can it be? It
might be thought that this kind of skeptical response is likely to be encouraged by any type of popular
literature that could be considered formulaic, or that relies upon stock characters or highly
conventionalised narrative structures, or whose enjoyment comes from the repetition of certain wellworn themes or devices. But the thriller is unusual in its reliance upon, or subordination to, the singleminded drive to deliver a starkly intense literary effect.
Thus, in the words of The New York Times Book Review's suitably lurid verdict on the novel that
famously first unleashed Dr. Hannibal Lecter upon an unsuspecting public, Thomas Hanis's Red Dragon
(1981) 'is an engine designed for one purpose to make the pulse pound, the heart palpitate, the fear
glands secrete'. Judgments like these, carefully filleted and recycled as paperback blurbs, make a
virtual contract with potential purchasers, offering an irresistible reading experience that will stretch
them to the limit. To be reckoned 'as good as the crime thriller gets', to quote from the cover of
Lawrence Block's A Walk Among The Tombstones (1992), the suspense' will berelentless'; indeed it
`will hold readers gaga with suspense'. Of course, such overblown appeals to a hyperventilated state of
pleasurably anxious unknowing can easily be dismissed as little more than a sign of the extent to which
popular criticism has been debased by the inflated currency of contemporary marketing. But they do
offer some important clues to the thriller's provenance and distinctiveness. Which of the following
conclusions can be drawn from the first paragraph?
Dr. Hannibal Lecter is a character created by

Thomas hanis

Give people power and discretion, and whether they are grand viziers or border guards, some will use
their position to enrich themselves. The problem can be big enough to hold back a country's
development. For most people in the world, though, the worry is not that corruption may slow down
their country's GDP growth. It is that their daily lives are pervaded by endless hassles, big and small.
And for all the evidence that some cultures suffer endemic corruption, and even the language
describing bribery, is remarkably similar around the world. In a testament to most people's basic
decency, bribe-takers and bribe-payers have developed an elaborate theatre of dissimulation.
This is not just to avoid defection. Even in countries where corruption is so common as to be
unremarkable and unprosecutable and even when the transaction happens far from snooping eyes-abribe is almost always dressed up as some other kind of exchange. Though most of the world is
plagued by corruption, even serial offenders try to conceal it. One manifestation of this is linguistic.
Surprisingly few people say You are going to have to pay me if you want to get that done." Instead, they
use a wide variety of euphemisms. One type is quai-official terminology. The term widely used at
border crossings is expediting fee". For a euphemism it is surprisingly accurate: paying it will keep your
bags, and perhaps your contraband, from being dumped onto floor and sifted through at a leisurely
place. (A related term, used in India, is speed money: paying it can get essential business permits
issued considerably faster.)
A second type of euphemism dresses up a dodgy payment as a friendly favour done by the bribepayer. There is plenty of creative scope. Nigerian policemen are known to ask for a little something for
the weekend. Mexican traffic police will suggest you buy them a refresco, a soft drink, as will Angolan
and Mozambican petty officials, who call it a gazoso in Portuguese. Double meaning can help soothe
the awkwardness of bribe-paying. Baksheesh, originally a Persian word now found in many countries of
the Middle East, can mean tip, alms and bribe. In Kenya a machine-gun-wielding guard suggested to a
terrified Canadian aid worker. "Perhaps you would like to discuss this over chai?" The young Canadian
was relieved the difficulty could be resolved with chai, which means both tea and bribe. Along with the
obscurantist language, bribe-taking culture around the world often involves the avoidance of physically
handing the money from one person to another.
One obvious reason is to avoid detection, which is why bribes are known as envelopes. In countries
from China to Greece. But avoidance of a direct hand-over is common even where there is no chance
