This Shakespearean proverb challenges the fear of a common man who falls on difficult days. Usually, people prefer prosperity to adversity. No one wants to live in difficult circumstances, where life seems to be a burden, full of woes, sorrows and suffering. Life seems to be a yoke unable to carry and hear during adversity. On the other hand, everyone wants to live perpetually in prosperous times when life seems a bed of rose's. full of joy, happiness, pleasure and beauty. But we rarely realize that without bitterness, sweetness has no existence; without black, white has no colour and without hardships, joy has no meaning. Prosperity brings infinite friends, great money and high status. Virtue is forgotten, rather prosperity becomes the only virtue. Society too looks up to a man in prosperity. On the other hand, when adversity strikes at one's door the man is looked down upon, is forsaken more...

India is situated in the Northern Hemisphere extending from 8° 4' N to 37° 17' N latitude. The Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of the country, thus the country falls into tropical as well as sub-tropical zones. The country gets two complete showers of seasonal rain, one during the summers called south-west monsoon and one in winters called the north-east monsoons. The rest of the year is practically dry. The rain bearing winds are called Monsoon winds which persistently flow in the same direction and get reversed only with the change of seasons.

Recently the world was shocked to learn that millions of people were starving to death in some parts of Africa. It was a tragedy indeed. In response many people contributed what they could do to alleviate the situation. Donations of food and money came from all parts of the world. A group of popular singers got together and raised a big sum of money to help these unfortunate populace. Yet, there are people dying of starvation in some parts of the world. It is an evil, there is no doubt about that, but there is not much an ordinary person can do about it except hope that countries involved and the other developed countries do something positive to stop it. A lot of the 'powers that be' are too involved in their power struggle and bickerings to care about what happens to their starving citizens. Just take a look at more...

By prizes I mean the book prizes or book token given by some schools at their annual prize-giving day. Most schools have an annual prize-giving day. As far as I am concerned, this promise of prizes once a year does not inspire the pupils in general to perform better. My reasons are as below : Normally, only one prize is given for each subject in a form. The students know very well beforehand who would win a particular prize. In any case, they can pick out a handful of students—maybe three or four, who might stand a chance to receive a prize, so the desire to improve is present only in those few students. The rest of the class is not bothered because they know they have no chance. This lack of interest is shown even by the best class. As for the poorer classes, the students would not even more...

Globalization is denned as "the development of an increasingly integrated global economy through reduction of barriers to international trade and is marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets," This means globalization is a process by which regional and local economies,   societies,   and   cultures   integrate   through communication, transportation and trade- The term also refers to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages, or popular culture through music or films. However, globalization is largely associated with its economic sense i.e. the integration of national economies through free flow of trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, spread of technology and military equipments. The process of globalization has been an integral part of the recent economic progress made by India. The economic reforms of 1991 have enabled India to emerge as an open economy with no restrictions on exchange of goods and services. Resultantly, more...

I was on my way back home on my motorcycle after exercising in a nearby park when I saw thick black smoke billowing upwards at some distance from me- It was twilight time and the dirty black smoke rising against a brilliant red western sky presented quite a spectacle. I knew that a fire was raging and judging by the colour and the fury of smoke I reasoned that it was probably caused by the burning of rubber and diesel oil. I continued home and I noticed that the smoke was getting closer. The column of black smoke was both horrifying and ominous- Then as I approached a bend along the road, I saw the fire. The glow of fifty foot flames shooting upwards was blinding. I blinked my eyes to let it adjust to the sudden brightness. After a while I could see that a row of shops were more...
