Insects are a nuisance. Ants, flies, mosquitoes interrupt our home life and we always try to get rid off them. We use insecticide, sprays, fly poison and mosquito coils. Somehow, they keep coming back in undiminished numbers, much to our disgust and discomfort. The only course of action then is to minimize their presence as much as possible. Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance. They are carriers of deadly diseases, like dengue fever and malaria. The most effective way to get rid of them is to prevent them from breeding. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in water. The larvae that hatch spend a good few days in water before they transform themselves in pupae and finally to young mosquitoes, in water they breed fast. So we should not leave any water stagnant at any period of time. All vessels in and around the house should be either overturned or should be more...

It is said when examinations are approaching, student suffer from examination fever. And rightly Examinations are regarded as a curse by students. The approach of examinations means the beginning of fear in the mind of a student. As a matter of fact Examinations are the only hurdles in an otherwise happy and carefree life of a student. The bugbear of an examination interrupts the smooth course of a student's life; games, musical concertadebates and activities are all stopped when examinations are nearing. Students are not to be found at the cinema houses restaurants and other places of entertainment during those days.
