Students should devote themselves primarily to their studies. But in the modem age, a book-worm is not regarded as an ideal student. Now he has many duties besides studies. Students, being a vital part of society, should take part in the community service. India  is  a  poor and developing country. It is not possible for the government to do everything alone. So, students have a lot of work to do. During long vacations and other holidays, they can go to villages and teach the illiterate people there. They can also make them conscious of the role of health and hygiene. They should often visit backward villages and slum areas, point out why epidemics occur there. They should also induce them to take part in cultural programmes. During floods, famines and epidemics, students can serve the suffering humanity. A student's education is incomplete if he is not involved actively in social more...

One morning, I saw a ghastly accident on my way to school. Suddenly, I heard a crash. Turning to look, I saw a horrible sight. A scooter and a car had apparently collided with each other. All I could make out before the crowd of passers-by rushed towards them was a pool of blood, shattered glasses and a man lying on the road. It seemed to me that there was far too much noise and nobody seemed to be doing anything to help the accident victims. However, some intelligent, alert persons must have rung up the hospital, for soon an ambulance came, followed by the police who cleared away the crowd. I watched it from a safe distance. I saw the badly wounded man, who had been riding the scooter, being lifted on to a stretcher and put into the ambulance. The occupants of the car were also suffering from more...

I am now an old coin and have been in circulation for many , many years. I am worn out now and the lion's head on my face is very faint. But I still remember my early youth when I was in the government treasury, with my bright companions. I shone  rightly then and the lion's head glittered brightly. My active life began when I was paid out from the counter of a bank, along with other new rupees, to a gentleman who got a cheque encashed. I went off jingling in his pocket, but I was not there for long, as he gave me to a shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked pleased when he had me in his hand, and said, "I have not seen a new rupee for some time", and he banged me against his counter to see if I was genuine. I gave out such a clear more...

The loss of a country when skilled and intelligent people leave it to go and live in other countries for better opportunities is called brain drain. In India the tendency to go abroad is growing rapidly. The growing urge among the Indian families to send their children to foreign lands especially the west is getting even stronger despite the fact that our country is in no way lacking in having excellent educational institutions.  The urge to go to the west has become compelling in our country in post-independence years.

Other reasons are Unrecognized or unrewarded talents and lack of job Opportunities for trained professionals. This is the start of the brain drain of the more...

Reading makes a man perfect. By reading we get information, facts and knowledge of the affairs of the world. The books prescribed for our formal education do not provide pleasure to us. This is an obligation on us to read that book as we have to continue with our education. We are to go through them even though we may not like them. The books that provide us pleasure are the books of our liking and interest. Therefore we should have a vast field of good books for our knowledge. Most of the people who read books as a part (pass) time, read them for pleasure only. But it is very much doubtful that all those who read get any real pleasure out of it. These days, reading has become a fashion too. We can see people reading books in buses, trains even bus-stops and restaurants. The only purpose of more...
