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...

Thus the country is full of places which are rich in traditions, are important historically, economically, politically or sociologically.

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...

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.

India is a land of colourful festivals and celebrations. As most of the people live in villages, people do not have many modes of entertainment as are found in cities. Fairs or melas are thus quiet common. It is the favourite event for villagefolks. Fairs are a good time for them to enjoy, entertain themselves, make merry and also sometimes buy and sell their cattle or grains. Some fairs thus have an economic basis while mostly religious beliefs and belief in local saints and great men have given rise to a number of fairs.    Recently, I had a chance to visit one such fair in a small town with my friend. The fair was a big event for the town where villagers from all the nearby villages had come to enjoy the mela. Since morning, people had started reaching the town. All the villagers with their large families came in more...
