A porter/coolie can be seen at a railway station or a bus terminal. He carries the passengers' luggage. He wears a red shirt. He ties a brass plate with a number on one of his arms. Some porters are very greedy. They charge extra money and get good seat for the passengers. An honest porter hardly earns his daily bread. They suffer the most during old age.

It is accepted and well-known that smoking is a bad habit. Medical science tells us that smoking is injurious to health. It is the cause of many diseases like asthma, cancer, etc. For this reason, a statutory warning was introduced for compulsory display on all packets of cigarettes, chewing tobacco and advertisement for the same that cigarette smoking or chewing of tobacco is injurious to health. Tobacco contains a deadly poison- nicotine. This poison, when inhaled, injuries the heart, lungs, brain and liver. It also affects the digestive system. Staying smoke free will give you a whole lot more of everything — more energy, better performance, better looks, more money in your pocket, and, in the long run, more life to live!

I am an old pine tree. I wasn't planted by anyone, with the seed from my neighbour I just happened to grow all by myself. There is a long line of us on the mountain. Fruits like cherries, berries, plums and apricots would grow in the green expose around me. I take a lot of credit for the fame that has been enjoyed by the place where we grow7 had I not been here along with my companions, this place would have been as bare as a desert. However, now the time has come when I have a great fear in my heart. We have seen many of us being cut down by the people who live here and also by builders who come from the big cities. I do know that I will not die a natural death. I have to prepare myself for the pain that I have more...

Arun Mittal is my bad neighbour. He is loose-tongued. He is a man of loose character. He envies my property. He is a gambler. He is the ring-leader of idlers. Arun is a fat and ugly man. He poses hurdles in all my affairs. He takes pleasure in abusing others and eve-teasing girls. He thrown his rubbish in the streets. He quarrels with everybody. He speaks ill of us before our enemies. Arun is a thief. He backbites others. He has an ever demanding nature. He passes silly remarks on us. Drinking and smoking are his pastimes. I dislike him.

India is my country. It is a country of villages. Most people live in the villages than in the cities. There are big cities like Mumbai and Delhi.

It was a cold day. There was some fog and not much traffic on the road. I was standing in the balcony of my house. Suddenly I heard a loud noise. The driver of a car lost his balance at a turn. He crashed into an electric pole. I rushed for rescue. Many other people also came running. The driver was badly hurt. We helped him to come out of the car. He had received a big cut on the forehead. He was profusely bleeding. Soon he was carried away in a car to the hospital. The driver was the only person in the car. The car was badly smashed. A pool of blood had collected on the road.

If you get up at Sunrise, you will be healthy, wealthy and wise. After a gloomy night, sunrise brings new hopes and aspirations. It spreads a golden light all around. Birds and beasts, men and angels eagerly wait for it. It is a time when the nature is at its best. It is a time to pray to God. Sunrise is a time when there is calm and quite, the atmosphere is pure and fresh and there is no dust, no smoke, no noise. We can inhale a lot of pure oxygen. A man who goes out for a long walk at sunrise never falls ill. The rising sun gives us light and warmth. It gives new life to withering plants and a new lease of life to all living creatures. That is why even the gods worship the rising sun.
