IMPORTANCE OF GAMES AND SPORTS
Games and sports are a very necessary part of our life. They keep us healthy. They refresh our weary minds. They are useful both for our mind and body. Physically we become healthy. Mentally we become disciplined.
Games give us wisdom and courage. They make us bold and confident. They develop in us a spirit of cooperation. They teach us to fight in a healthy spirit.
A sportsman fights with his rival in the playground, but he has no ill-will against him. In short, games help to make us good citizens. Our education is incomplete without them.
USES AND ABUSES OF INTERNET
Today we have the internet and the cellphones. Today more and more people use the internet for all sorts (प्रकार) of information (जानकारी). They play games on the internet, get news, shop online and get health information. The internet can help us to know and understand (जानना) the problems faced by the country.
Through online teaching, the internet can help in eradicating (जड़ से उखाड़ना) illiteracy (निरक्षरता). The internet is the fastest, the easiest and the cheapest (सबसे सस्ता) medium (माध्यम) of instruction (निर्देश, शिक्षा). And without having to travel to other countries, we can remain in contact with anyone, anywhere, anytime in the world.
At the same time, there are also some abuses (दुरुपयोग, दुष्प्रयोग) of the internet. Through (द्वारा) internet, hackers manage to have access (पहुँच) to the essential (आवश्यक) information of ours. The majority (ज़्यादातर) of young boys and girls use chat system for meaningless (व्यर्थ) conversation (बातचीत). Thus they waste their precious (कीमती) time by using the internet. So, we need to make the best use of the internet.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Environmental pollution is the biggest problem facing the modern man. All advancements become useless if man does not get the basic necessities of life i.e. fresh and pure air. And only trees can do this service to man.
Unluckily man in his ignorance and greed has destroyed forests. There was a time when 50% of the Indian soil was covered with forests but now it is reduced to a mere 8%. Only recently our government has became aware of this problem.
Various steps have been taken to keep the environment free from pollution. More attention is being paid to afforestation. The unauthorized felling of trees is being checked.
In fact, environment awareness is a social necessity. It is not only the duty of government, but also a social responsibility of each one of us to help in keeping the environment free from pollution.
MY FAVOURITE LEADER
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi often called the Father of Nation was a great leader who fought for India's freedom from British Rule. He believed in non-violence. Every year on October 2nd, Mahatma Gandhi's birthday is celebrated as Gandhi Jayanti.
Mahatma Gandhi was born on 2nd of October, 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat. He was unlike other boys. he was very gentle. He loved truth. He respected his teachers. After doing law he started practice in India. He did not take up false cases.
He went to Africa to fight a case. There he saw the poor conditions of Indians. The English treated them badly. Gandhiji fought for their rights for ten years. Then he came back to India. He fought for the freedom of India.
He got India free for us in 1947. A mad person shot him dead on January 30, 1948. Though he is no more among us, I yet consider him my favourite leader.
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline means training the mind and character. It is a training to live in accordance with rules. It is a physical, mental and moral training. Discipline is the basis of whole universe.
To keep harmony in the universe, everything in nature is governed by some laws. Discipline is needed for the happiness and welfare of all. It puts some checks on our freedom. If everybody did what he wanted, there would be complete disorder in the world.
Without discipline, no civilized life is possible. Discipline is very necessary for the strength of an individual as well as of a nation. No work of progress is possible in the absence of discipline. Any house without discipline will surely go to the dogs.
The head of a family won't be able to run his family if its members don't maintain discipline. In fact, discipline is necessary in every field of society. Otherwise, there bound to be confusion, disorder and chaos.
WOMEN EDUCATION
Until a few years ago, no attention was paid to women education in the country. It was even considered undesirable to educate the girl child. But now with the spread of general awareness, the attitude of people has begun to change.
The government of country has also played a vital role in this direction. Schemes like Sarva Shikha Abhiyan, CBSE Scholarship to single girl child and government's policy of giving free education to girls has come as a boon for the society.
Now girls have proved that they are not less than boys in any field. Most of the top positions in all Board and University examinations are captured by the girls. India can never be able to march ahead with other developed nations of the world if all of her population deprived of the benefits of education.
In fact, educating girls are more important than educating boys because it has been rightly said that if we educate a man, we educate a person, but if we educate a woman, we educate the whole family and a nation. The good start has already been made and it must be continued with greater acceleration.
THE EVILS OF DOWRY SYSTEM
Dowry system (दहेज प्रथा) is a big social evil. It is a stigma (कलंक) on our society. It is a matter of shame for men. The parents of marriageable (विवाह-योग्य) girls keep searching for a suitable boy for a long time. They look for a family where they do not have to give a dowry. This leads to the late marriages of the girls, especially those from poor families.
The rich parents can somehow (जैसे तैसे) meet the demands, but the poor parents have to suffer a lot. Many girls are unable to get married, some of them even commit suicide. Thus the greed for dowry has taken the lives of many innocent (मासूम) girls.
Even (यहाँ तक की) after the marriage, many girls are tortured (सताना, अत्याचार) physically as well as mentally. Many a time, they are burnt alive. Though we have a law which disallows the giving and taking of dowry, yet this evil (बुराई) is spreading day by day.
We can't end it merely (केवल) by shouting slogans (नारे) and holding demonstrations (प्रदर्शन). Women will have to become bold. They should have education and becoming economically (आर्थिक रूप से) self dependent. They should refuse to marry dowry seekers. Young men should also try to wash off this dirty stigma (कलंक, लांछन). They should take a vow (शपथ, कसम) not to demand or accept any dowry at the time of their marriage.
It is only by exercising (प्रयोग करना) a strong willpower (इच्छा शक्ति) that this evil can be ended. The parents should be encouraged to perform simple marriages where the dowry demands do not raise their dirty head.
