Introduction. I am a student. Hence my daily life follows a very simple routine. 1 once heard from my teacher that early rising is the father of three blessings-health, wealth and wisdom. Since then I have been rising early in the morning-. I get up at 4 o' clock. What I do in the morning. Alter doing my morning duties; I take Bath in cold water. I put on my clean clothes and go to the temple. It is my mother's wish that I should begin the day's work with a prayer in God. Then I take my breakfast. it consists of a few biscuits and a glass of milk. Then I sit at my books. I read them till 8 a. m. During three hours I practically finish all I tic reading of my lessons. Then completer home task of different subjects. I do not believe in eleventh hour preparations. more...

Accidents or mishaps keep happening every day and-every now and then. Some mishaps are unnoticeable or are a nuisance, others get serious and unavoidable. One trips and falls while looking at a poster, other clashes into a pole, still other steps on banana skin and slips like a skater. Such accidents are alright as they are not so serious and do not cause much harm and happen almost every day.   Sometimes when accidents take place due to rashness of people and harm others, they become serious and alarming. Therefore, one should be careful on the road and to public places so as not to harm oneself as well as others.   The other day, I saw an accident while I was returning from school. I was walking on the footpath, lost in my own thoughts, about school, homework and class tests when a searching sound broke the train of more...

Just like sports and games held all year round culminate into the sports day, all the co-curricular activities held all through the year crystallize into the Annual Day. The Annual Day is highly awaited as it is the day when even the parents are invited to watch proudly their children participating in various activities or working hard on the stage. One can say that the preparation for this occasion goes all through the year. The students and teachers both keep their eyes wide open for outstanding performances. Yet, the preparation begins a fortnight ago when the Principal announces the date and the entire school gets caught up in frenzy. Students try to come up with innovative ideas so that the item of their class gets selected. Everywhere practices go on. Some practice for tapping dance, others go for skit or mimes. The school choir starts practicing songs along with their more...

The Red Fort in Delhi, more commonly known as the Lal Qila, is one of the favourite places of the tourists from all over the country as well as the world. Before the mutiny of 1857, the fort was a small city in itself with palaces, offices, workshops and halls which had the capacity of about 3,000 people to lodge in. There are two separate structures within the huge fort from Lahore Gate to Moti Masjid. The Lahore Gate of the palace is covered by the barbican added to it by Aurangzeb. This is the gate from where the Prime Minister addresses the nation and unfurls the Tiranga every year on the Independence Day, August 15. The path leads through d long covered Bazaar called Chatta Chowk which leads to the Drum Room popularly known as the Naqqar Khana also called Naubat Khana or the Welcome Room. This, in fact, more...

India is a beautiful country. A life-time would be short to view all the beautiful sights that this country has to offer. Families go for holiday or young people freak outto enjoy themselves. People going out to various places spend a lot of money, buying souvenirs, eating at restaurants or shopping for gifts for friends and relatives, This whole process of buying or selling the things has given birth to an entire industry—the tourism industry. The tourism industry can be a good source of earning revenue. If a person is selling something that is attractive looking, it is very obvious that he can put any price tag on it. Someone or the other will definitely buy it- May be it is not too durable but if it has been attractively packaged, it will be sold in minutes. India is a country rich in diversity. The majestic Himalayas, the sparkling ocean, more...

The word 'Newspaper' sounds a bit obsolete in this era of information technology and electronic media. With all its historical importance and important role played, print media was doomed to lose its battle in the face of the fast popularizing electronic media and internet duo to their speed, graphical illustrations and visual effects. The entire generation seems to be hypnotized by the more popular and easily accessible visual media. People had thought that newspapers are doomed forever and will soon be listed in the gloriously old and long list of the extinct species. It was thought it is already an endangered one with no added incentive to compete with its big rivals—satellite TV, internet and other channels of mass communication. Yet all the doomsday predictions against the print media have fallen apart in due course of time as we see that no matter where technology goes and to what height more...

India is a country of rich culture and centuries of history and tradition of its own. Thus the country is full of places which are rich in traditions, are important historically, economically, politically or sociologically. Moreover, the diversity that it presents baffles many because the diversity is not only geographical but social and cultural as well. Thus, India attracts thousands of tourists from all around the globe. Last year, I had a chance to visit Agra with my uncle's family. As soon as I got the invitation, I accepted it because Agra has been a great centre of art and architecture during the Mughal period. It goes to Akbar's credit to transform Agra into a great city of cultural and historical importance. History stands testimony that the old brick fort of Sikandar Lodhi was dismantled by Akbar and a magnificent fortress of rust coloured sandstone was built- For the same more...

Cinema is in today's world the most popular means of entertainment. Millions of people watch cinema everyday all over the world—not only as a means of entertainment but also as an escape from the monotony, boredom, anxiety and troubles of life. It is a restful, pleasurable and entertaining way of rewinding and relaxing after a long day's work. All the senses are captivated while viewing cinema and the next two and a half or three hours are spent in a wink. Moreover, every class and section of society can afford this form of entertainment at their will and convenience. Indian cinema has a charm, flavour and magic of its own. It appeals not only to the film-crazy Indian public but also enchants a large number of audiences the world over, People who do not speak or understand Hindi still sing songs from Hindi films. An average Indian film is longer more...

The word 'student' refers to "a learner'. A person who wishes to acquire a certain kind of knowledge and wisdom or skill in a particular field or enhances his/her intellectual capabilities in a general manner is a learner or a student. Though, all of us remain students of the Great Master called Life throughout, yet our life is thus divided that we spend around 15-20 years of the early part of our life in acquiring the necessary knowledge in order to lead a successful life later. This calls for a systematic and organized system of education. Pupils under the ambit of this formal system of education spend a bulk of their childhood, adolescence and a part of their youth in acquiring all the pre-requisite knowledge needed to build up a successful career and thereby lead a successful life. Thus we see that a child for the first quarter of his more...
