                                                        PASSAGE-1

     Most economists in the United States seem captivated by the spell of the free market. Consequently, nothing seems good or normal that does not accord with the requirements of the free market. A price that is determined by the seller or, for that mater(for that matter: so far as that is concerned), established by anyone other than the aggregate of consumers seems pernicious. Accordingly, it requires a major act of will the think of price-fixing (the determination of prices by the seller) as both "normal" and having a valuable economic function. In fact, price-fixing is normal in all industrialized societies because the industrial system itself provides, as an effortless consequence of its own development, the price-fixing that it requires. Modern industrial planning requires and rewards great size. Hence , a comparatively small number of large firms will be competing for the same group of consumers. That each large firm win act with consideration of its own needs and thus avoid selling its products for more than its competitors charge is commonly recognized by advocates of free-market economic theories. But each large firm  will also act with full consideration of the needs that it has in common with the other large firms competing for the same customers.

                                                          PASSAGE-2

     In short, to write a good letter you must approach the job in the lightest and moist casual way. You must be personal, not abstract. You must not say. This is too small a thing to put down. You must say. 'This is just the sort of small thing we talk about at home. If I tell them this they will see me, as it were they'll hear my voice, they'll know what I'm talking about'. That is the purpose of a letter. Carlyle had the trick to perfection. He is writing from Scotsbrig to his brother Alec in Canada and he begins talking about his mother. Good old Mother, he says, 'she is even now sitting at my back, trying at another table to write you a small word with her own hand; the first time she has tried such a thing for a year past, It is Saturday night, after dark; we are in the east room in a hard, dry evening with a bright fire to our two selves; Jinny and her Barns are 'scouring up things' in the other end of he house; and below stairs the winter operations of the farm go on, in a subdued tone; you can conceive the scene! How simple it is and yet how perfect. Can not you see Alec reading it in his far-off home and his eyes moistening at the picture of his old mother sitting and writing her last message to him on earth ?

                                                 PASSAGE-3

     The years passed too quickly. In 1940 Nani finished his B.A. with honours in English, and in 1942 his M.A. with honours in the same subject. In these exams he could not complete his papers because the writer's cramp that was to haunt him for the rest of his life had begun to appear. For the first LL.B. examination he was given a writer. The person sent for the morning paper was so incompetent that Nani refused to continue with him and came out of the examination hall exasperated. Nargesh immediately contacted the Vice Chancellor of the University, who directed the supervisor at the examination center to allow Nargesh herself to substitute'. Another writer was sent for the afternoon paper and those to follow. He continued to be with Nani during all the subsequent examination-second LL.B., Advocate AS and Advocate OS.    
     An interesting anecdote is recounted by Jayasheela Badami, who was told about it by her cousin Kishore Nanavaty, Justice P.S. Badami, Jayasheela's father, was one of the examiners for law exams. Once, while he was correcting papers, he asked Kishore to have a look at one paper, and commented that it was extremely well written, well focused, accurate and in proper order. He said he thought the student deserved to be ranked number one and that he would give him full marks for the paper. Since the answer book did not bear the name of the examine, Kishore, a curious youngster, memorized the seat number to check it up at a later date. when the results were published, Kishore liked for the name matching the seat number. He found the name Nani Palkhivala.
     On completing his B.A>, Nani's desire was to be a college lecturer. It went well with his taste for literature, and his professors had given him all the encouragement he needed. He even applied for a lecturer's post, but another lady candidate was equally well-qualified and had the teaching experience too, which Nani did not have. So he did not get selected.
     After his M.A., Nani wanted to join the Indian Civil Service(ICS). This was around 1942, when the war was on and written examinations were being held in Delhi. In the 1940s, the ICS held a fascination for bright young students for whom it was the ultimate career. Though Nani seldom spoke about it in his later years, he apparently treated the civil service examination as something of a challenge. Nargesh, too was very keen that he take his ICS papers, Accustomed to standing first in whatever studies he undertook, and winning prizes, medals and scholarships almost as a habit, Nani no doubt felt that he could top the list of successful candidates even in the civil service examination, it only he had a chance to appear for it. Nani made two attempts, says Behram. The first time, he was disqualified in the preliminary physical test. Thereupon he regularly did a lot of exercise to build up his body. Next time, he was declared physically fit, but an epidemic broke out in Delhi and. considering the anxiety of his dear ones, he did not send his application form for the written examination, for which a time-limit had been set. It did indeed seem that limit expired, the venue for the examination was moved from Delhi to Bombay on account of the epidemic.
     The net result was that Nani could not make it to the ICS. It did not bother Nani's father, Ardeshir, who wanted his son to be a lawyer. Ardeshir used to say. "Become a lawyer, my son, you are cut out for law." The father saw that Nani had a sharp, analytical, incisive mind that put him a cut above ordinary' mortals. He could see that as a lawyer Nani would grow in status and reputation. Nani was later to say. " My father was of the view that I would not enjoy being anybody's servant not even the government's- and he thought that I would do well in the legal profession." The father knew his son's mind better than the son himself. In the end what the Civil Service lost, the legal profession gained.
