CHRISTMAS IN 2008

Though Christmas is rich with joy and happiness to everyone, this year those pleasures are seemed to be considered in less account. The Mumbai terrorism was a severe bow to every Indian citizen. Woes of many families are still heard. Damages caused can be overcome but live of many people cannot be retained. We lost many great personalities.
I think a silent prayer for their soul will be a terrific gift to them on the day of this Christmas.

“Memories and lives are behind,
filled with woes,
And a silent prayer of yours
will bring a great peace to all”

10+2 stage is the right stage to choose the career

Team work is always practical

WHAT APPEALS TO ME IN GANDHIJI’S LIFE AND THOUGHT

The great leader and the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi is the man I admire the most. His devotion to work and his truthfulness are the qualities which appeals to me in Gandhiji’s life and thought. He possessed all good virtues a man could have in life. Because of his ideal character, he was given the surname as “Mahatma”. He spoke what all he thought; and he did what all he spoke. There was no contradiction between his thought, word and deeds. That was why the whole India stood behind him during the freedom struggle.

He was a firm advocate of truth from his childhood. His story of refusal on copying a single word in a dictation during his high school inspection is remarkable. It is noticeable because he didn’t even got convinced by his teacher, when he was insisted by him to copy. His tale of truth never ends there. His individuality to tell truth made him able to take strong decisions in life and to create a good attitude in him.

His interest towards the book about Shravana and a play regarding Harishchandra gave a big alter to his life. Though he was a Hindu by birth, he regarded every religion as sacred. He also gave importance to every body. He had many experiences with god’s play, due to his simple life and a helping mind. The event of getting huge sum of money from an unfamiliar person for carrying out his ashram, during a misery time, is a big example for it.

His devotion to work during our freedom struggle got us independence from British rule. His hard work helped us to create Hindu Muslim unity. He always wanted people to abolish untouchability from Indian soil. He also worked hard for the upliftment of women and children. His work was of non violence. The British rule was shaken and removed not by the use of weapons, but by his non violence. For him, the end as well as the means of the end was equally important. He got us independence without shedding lives and blood.

During his life in South Africa, he worked for the upliftment of Indian people. His number of travel to South Africa and the years he spent there are its example. His simplicity of donating the presents, he received during the farewell in South Africa is highly impressible.

To conclude, Gandhiji can be associated as a saint, philosopher and a unique role model for all young people. The characters of Mahatma Gandhi are numerous and every one should learn his qualities. His true life can be realized through his autobiography, “the experiments of truth”. Reading it can bring many changes in every body’s life. In the book, he has disclosed many secrets of his personal life, which shows his utter simplicity and truthfulness. Because of his sole qualities, I always have great respect for this great man.

The role of youth in environment protection

Youth has an important role for protecting the environment in his/her country. It is not only because they are the present cohort, but also they have the responsible to save it for their generation.

Environment is facing serious attacks in present day due to many existing and upcoming industries. Everywhere developments are taking place in fast forward motion, which always result in the obliteration of environment.
Now days, buildings are rising while the trees are cutting down.

Growing of trees is one of the best ways to save the environment. To avoid the critical stage of environment, youth has to take necessary steps. At present there are many organizations which hearten youth to do some help for environment. They help to create friendliness between youth and environment.

Youth should hold consciousness programs to create information about nature among people. When youth step down for the events, everybody gets encouraged. They have concerns about the nature and are socially accountable. A country can witness greater developments with youth.

Plastics are one of the major perilous to the environment. More than recycling them, it is necessary to abandon them. Now days, youth has volunteered themselves to clean up the country during their part time. Though they work for the uplift of the country, it does not result effective to people.

The national celebration like world environment day and world youth day has given some responsible to the youth. Hence, littering has decreased from its maximum level to its minimum.

Every day measures are taken to improve the nature and to grow the trees. To make the measures successful, youth should come forward to accept them.

Child Labour

Child labour is increasing day by day only because of a family’s financial situation. A child cannot access the school because of poverty. In order to make the family survive, as a member in the family, a child is forced to work. To avoid this government has made several schemes including midday meal scheme. But the school drop outs are large in number because education has no role in their life except surviving. Since poor are becoming poorer and rich to richer, children have no other go, except to work.
Normally in cities, middle class people are in large number. Statistics of poor people are high in villages. Hence child labour is more in villages. It’s difficult to prevent this problem completely. This is because children get money without getting educated and it attracts them. They think that getting educated is for making money so making money at an early age is really an advantage.
Family, who are uneducated are the main reason for making children work.
How can we protect the little children? How is it possible to aware their situation? Team and voluntary works are the solution. New laws to abolish child labour can make a difference.
Children have the right to live like all other normal people. They too have desires and dreams to fulfill. They should be brought in front and should be encouraged.
