Presenter 1: “This will be followed by an interesting presentation about Qutab Minar by Pankaj. Then there will be some advertisement followed by the question of the week.”
Presenter 2: “Now, it’s over to you Rahul.”
Rahul: “As they say, no news is good news but think how boring the life will be without news. There is a good news that our school team has won the Mehrauli Cricket Tournament final and photos of the winning team were splashed in all major dailies. There is going to be a drawing contest organized by Camlin. Those willing to participate should contact their class teachers for further details. That’s all from news room and goodbye!”
Presenter 1: “Thank you Rahul.”
Presenter 2: “Most of you dread your physical education teacher because of his no nonsense approach. Today Varsha will interview him to find the other facet of his tough personality. It is over to you Varsha.”
Varsha: “Mr. Rajyavardhan Rathore needs no introduction and all of you know him pretty well. Let’s ask some questions from Mr. Rathore. Welcome Mr. Rathore to our programme. Tell us, do you have a gym in your home for your kids?”
Mr. Rathore: “Yes! As you know physical health is very important for making an alert mind so I ensure it that my children do regular exercise to keep fit.”
Varsha: “Do you give them a good treat once they finish exercise?”
Mr. Rathore: “Sometimes I do. But basically the fitness should be the prime motive while doing exercise.”
Varsha: “In this age of junk food what are your suggestions for dietary habits of children?”
Mr. Rathore: “Junk food should be avoided at all costs. Everybody should eat lots of green vegetables and fresh fruit to get enough vitamins and minerals. For protein and calcium eggs and milk are important.”
Varsha: Thank you, Mr. Rathore for sharing your views with us. I hope listeners will follow your advice.
Presenter 1: “Qutab Minar is one of the iconic monuments of Delhi. And Pankaj has an interesting report on Qutab Minar. Welcome Pankaj.”
Pankaj: “Hi! I am not going to go into details of who built it and when he built it. Once you will approach the road towards Qutab Minar you will be overawed by its towering presence. Especially after a light shower the pink stone structure displays all its splendour. Once inside the campus you need to arch your back to have a good view of Qutab Minar. Then there is the famous iron pillar which is standing there for years without a speck of rust. In the same campus there is tomb of Iltutmish and other tombs are also there.
All the landmarks have well displayed information boards. After roaming in the Qutab campus if you feel tired you can enjoy a lazy siesta in the huge sloped lawn behind the Qutab Minar. That’s all about one of the historic monuments of our city.”

Answer the following question:
Why was Mrs. Bramble upset when she came to hear that Bill had decided not to fight?
Chris: Do you spend any of your free time playing Xbox Live?
Kane: Not so much online anymore, because I live in an area where I don't get broadband, I get satellite. I used to play Halo 2 and Ghost Recon online quite a bit.
Chris: What other games do you play?
Kane: Right now I'm playing THQ's Raw vs. Smackdown 2006, our game on the PSP. I'm not actually playing all that much console stuff because I've been on the road quite a bit...
Chris: Do you always play as yourself?
Kane: Yeah.
Chris: Are you going to be at the Wrestlemania?
Kane: Oh yeah.
Chris: Do you know who you're going to face?
Kane: Not yet.
Chris: Seems to be back in the day, there used to be a lot of tag teams, especially back in the Eighties. It seems like that's fallen off. Why do you think that is?
Kane: I don't know. You're right, I think. I watching a videotape of I'm not sure which year it was... I think it was Summer Slam 1986 or 87. It was The Rock and Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty and stuff, The Quebecers. It was just different, because it was a tag team match and you don't see that much anymore. I don't know the reason for that. I just don't know. I think you're right to some extent.
Chris: When you were in college, were you always aspiring to be a wrestler?
Kane: Yeah. I remember when I was a kid, I was a wrestling fan, and then actually my local stations didn't broadcast it for awhile, and then when I got back into college that's when Hulk Hogan was at the height of his career, so I became a wrestling fan again. I was very active in college. I wanted to play athletics and then I looked at wrestling as being a viable option to do that.
Chris: Was Hogan the person who inspired you, or were there others?
Kane: Oh no. You had Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen, all those guys. Actually, when I was first getting into wrestling, the Undertaker was my favourite. Remember when he was building caskets for people and things like that? That was just classic... just awesome.
Chris: Did that play any role in your being cast as his half-brother?
Kane: No, that didn't. But I think it did play a role in the success that I have had, especially the way that I was introduced as the Undertaker's brother and all that, because I could relate to that. It was pretty natural for me.
Chris: How has the WWE changed in the past ten years?
Kane: In some ways, we've gone through an evolution. Actually, the biggest change I see, from when I first started with the company is our television products - we've become more and more television driven, and our television products have become stronger. When I first started with the company, the format of the show was a lot different than it is now. A lot of that was because of competition from formerly WCW. You know, we were able to overcome that... I think our television product's stronger. We've gone on to some of the best years the business has ever seen and it'll continue. I think the striking thing for me is that the television product has gone through such an evolution.
Chris: Are you happy with the way your character is shaping up?
Kane: Yeah, I've always been happy. Infact, it's been tremendous; more than I can ever hope for.
Chris: Were you scarier with the mask?
Kane: I get that question all the time. Actually I prefer it without the mask because as a performer I'm unlimited in what I can do, whereas with the mask I relied a lot more on body language. But, by the same token, the mask had a certain aura about it, there was mystery and all that stuff. I like it without the mask, but like you said, a lot of people like the mask, so it just depends... Of course, there are days, too, where I like the mask better. [Laughter]
Chris: Bret Hart is being inducted into the Hall of Fame. What's your favourite Bret Hart memory?
Kane: Oh, wow! I guess it would be the culmination when he beat Ric Flair for the World Championship, because that's the high point of someone's career. I'm glad to see Bret going into the Hall of Fame; I'm glad to see that happening.
Chris: With everything you've done in the world of wrestling, what more do you think you have left to accomplish?
Kane: I don't think I have anything left to accomplish, but the important thing for me is that I'm still having fun and that the people are entertained, and it's really gratifying for me now that our fans come up to me, and because I've stood the test of time, they have a respect for me. I may not be the hottest wrestler at the time, but I always knew that people are going to be with me because they've sort of grown up with me. So, I don't necessarily know that I've got a whole lot left to accomplish, but I'm still enjoying myself and I'm still entertaining the people, which to me is something basically you need to accomplish every night.
