save water save earth........ :)

Do you know that we are still drinking the same water that the dinosaurs did?! The water cycle has been happening ever since the start of the world and will proberly still be happening for another 10 thousand years. The next time you have a glass of water just think, every drop of water in that glass would have seen so many amazing things, when apes roamed the land to today when TVs and electronics ruled the world, on it's continuos journey in the water cycle.

 

Corruption

                                                                      

Corruption is today a world-wide phenomenon. In our own country some people in high positions lave been charged for it.

A corrupt person is termed immoral, dishonest and unscrupulous in his dealings. His disregard for honesty, righteousness and truth results in his alienation from society. He is treated with contempt. But as erosion of values leads to decadence, remedies for the social malaise remain elusive, and so no amount of contempt can eradicate corruption which is a symptom of decadence.

Corruption is the most virulent when crises everywhere threaten the very existence of the society and the faith in life is shaken. It has always been there like tie leech, but when the system grows weaker and the boat flounders, it gets bolder and drains its victims of the last drops of their blood.

The older the system the weaker it grows and fails to solve the riddles of life that grows more complex every day. So men lose faith in it and let it drift down. At this point corruption takes over and plunges the entire society. After Second World War the old system with all its values was left in a shambles. The crippling effects of the war, the recession and depression, and uncertainties in a faithless world of maimed and moribund encouraged cynicism in a section of the population.

This section included the government officials dealing in essential commodities. They found the post-war conditions ideal for fishing in troubled waters and jetting richer. They formed a sort of vicious circle in which moral values and honest intentions no longer held valid. The flourishing black market in essential commodities, adulteration of even baby- food, bribery, fraud and economic, political and administrative manipulations with an eye on earning profits has brought untold misery to the people.

One would say the corruption in India has an ancient lineage; it is sanctified by tradition. The author of the Arthasastra made some remarks on government officials of his time which are relevant even today: "Just as it is impossible not to taste the honey or the poison that finds itself at the tip of the tongue, so it is impossible for a government servant not to eat up at least a bit of the king's revenue. These in the post­war world became only bolder while eating up government money and accepting bribes.

Today, when India is free, these officials representing all government departments are very close to the most corrupt businessmen who are too unscrupulous to let any opportunity of amassing profits slip. This collusion broadens the base of the vicious circle and corruption spreads 'like wild fire to engulf the entire society. The political and social guardians depend only too much on the richer communities and they look indulgently on while these communities hold the entire society and the government to ransom.

Corruption starts at the top and percolates down to the whole society. Such corruption cannot be confined to the towns alone. It is as widespread in the villages where the dishonest officials and the traders carry the germs of the disease. The tyranny of confusion and price rules the land and the people are helpless victims of corruption everywhere

experiance of teaching a illterate man

India, a land of faithful wise and hardworking people. Thus, it is rightly turns as Incredible India. NO other country is more beautiful than India because it has several traditions which further have complications but even they unite as Indians.
But then a question arises that why is it still a developing nation? India’s position in UN’s record is still stable or rather it is declining. A country is judged on the basis of Per Capita Income, longevity i.e. life expectancy and literacy rate.
India has uplifted its health facilities but not Per Capita Income and literacy rate. Per Capita Income is directly dependent on literacy level.
India is an agro based country most of the people neglect education and does not emphasize their coming generation to gain education. Even if one is not educated one must be literate otherwise they can be dominated by the government and other people. Thus, in order to achieve this one should teach at least one child and make him self-sufficient.
I, Shubham Chopra of class 10th also did the same. During summer vacations we decided to shift to a new house. One day, while I was going there, saw a 5 year old child working at the construction site which was next to our house. I applied my brake and got down of my Scotty and went there and asked whether he went to school…I was shocked when he replied NO! I went to his father with him and requested him if I could teach him the basics. He said yes after a series of arguments. I also mentioned I would teach him for free. I taught him basic thing such as the alphabets in both Hindi and English etc. After 15-20 day, when I took that child to his father, he was shocked to find that his son could speak read and write Hindi and English. He promised he would send his child to school and would be a strong supporter against Child Labor as well. He even blessed me. Teaching one will not harm you rather you will be blessed by the person you taught and above all God will shower his blessings on you. If everyone teaches one person then India, what it is known for will once again be the best developed nation in this world.
Thus/ I conclude that educations is the key success of everyone’s life. Everyone has right to get education. Therefore, we should not neglect education. It must become our first and last goal in life.
