words speak loader than actions
We usually
think that in all cases action speaks louder than words, but if we make a
little observation in our daily life. The vice-verse happens, words speak
louder than actions. For example, if someone like your friend slaps you. You
might take it personally and slaps him back. Moreover there can be a little bit
fight between you and him or you and he can face problems with each other but
after some days, you or he can make peace and the matter can be solved. If
someone abuses you or vice-verse it will become a big issue. Both of you
will take this very personally (depends upon nature) and a big fight may occur
between you and him. Another thing may happen is that you both may face
problems for many days on this abuse based issue. It may become more difficult
for both of you to make peace.
Today a new
type of quotation is used to deal with such matters i.e. ‘every action has an
equal and opposite reaction’. I am not talking about laws of newton, I am
talking about laws of fight. If someone beats you, abuses you, say something
which you can’t tolerate. Your reaction will be to beat him back or abuse him
back. This action-reaction process gives rise to fight. In any fight we use two
weapons muscle power and word power. In which of these weapons is more powerful
in its effect. Usually a fight is started by using word powers like ‘idiot’
and when the exchange of these words increases it leads to muscle-power fight.
In these cases word power is dominant.
It is not so
in only fights during play. According to some of my school experience I have
observed that if you publicly say something to a teacher especially egoistic
teachers. He or she make it a big issue and try to suppress you in marks, in
lectures and various other means. Facing your boss at your office, facing your
coach of sports academy and facing your senior highly depends that which words
you are using to him or her.
Words are
the things which are most likely considered by many people of different fields
but it is not necessary that words are more powerful in all fields. The
politics is a field where words are not much considered by the people. The
people want action towards their demands. Even in office the work done by an
employee defines his salary. So we can’t say words are more powerful than
actions but words are gaining strength century by century.

Present Serials of Indian Television
The first serials in India started in the 80’s. The main objective of the
regular serials was to show the reality of our regular life. They succeeded in their objective and many people started watching the serials like Hum Log and Buniyaad with full excitement. According to my parents there was a
situation that the streets became empty when these serials started. Today the
subject of serials is changed in various ways.
Today the
serials which we see on television have lost their concept i.e. about the
reality of regular life. I can’t say that it has totally lost its concept but
some of the unrealistic events like giving life to a dead person in a serial or
making impossible coincidences and misunderstandings. Other things for example
that in a serial someone got to know that he is not a son of his father but he
is a son of his uncle. Someone is dead but later on he becomes alive and tells that how he got survived. Someone loves a particular girl but by mistake or
misunderstanding he marries some other girl. The serial makers use these
uncertain events and continue the story for months and years. This makes
serials uninteresting and unrealistic.
These
serials made an uncomfortable noise like ‘dhumtananananananananananananana’. It
is so disturbing that men can’t do their work or relax at home. Other problem
is that the serial makers don't finish the serials within 100 episodes but they continue the
story for years and years. It develops a curiosity in women that what will happen next and also leads to serial obsession in them. These
unrealistic serials may lead to disturbed environment at home.
Most of the
serials are watched by women, this leads to two disadvantages. First due to
continuous distraction caused by watching serials makes them unaware of their studies which affect their future. As the number of serials watched by women is so many that other people sometimes become unable to watch the channels based on
knowledge. Various people are getting disturbed by these serials and their noises.
Serials do
show some realistic events like problems faced by females but it is shown with
so much noises and unrealistic events that it makes the serial unrealistic and it doesn’t show the reality of life. Serials should be made only to show the real life
and there should be no disturbing noises.

First Conversation with foreigners
The month
before Diwali my mother planned that I, mom and my sis will go to visit my
uncle’s home who lives in Chandigarh. Mom told me that we will leave after
Diwali. We were going to travel by a train Kalka Shatabdi Express. We were
travelling to Chandigarh by that train since two years. I was much aware of its
facilities. On 4th November 2013 around 5 at morning we left home
and went to New Delhi Railway Station.
When we
reached there the train was already arrived. We got in the train and started
finding our seats we got the middle seat of the train. It was my favourite seat
in Shatabdi Express. My plan was to sit there and listening to my music in my
phone. When I was putting out my phone suddenly I heard someone saying ‘Excuse
me’ in English accent. When I turned around I saw a foreign couple standing in
front of me. I stood up and gave them some room so that they could sit on their
seats.
When they
put their bags and sat on the seats they joined their hands and thanked me for
giving them some room. When I sat down the lady of the foreign couple asked me
that in which direction the train will move. I was not sure because every time
we went to that train the direction always changed. I said ‘I don’t know’ after
that the foreign man of the couple told me ‘she’s always in superstition,
thinking that going forward is safe and going backward is not safe’. It was my
very first conversation with foreigners, I was a little nervous because I was
not only talking to strangers but I was talking to foreigners. I decided that I
will make a normal behaviour in front of them.
When the
train was ready to depart I saw four people coming and sitting on our front
seats. They were having a conversation with each other but I couldn’t
understand there language. I thought that they were speaking Tamil but later
after I heard a word छे from them repeatedly. I understood that they were speaking Gujarati
language. They were laughing during their conversation but still I couldn’t
understand their language then suddenly mom asked to put out the towel from the
bag. When I was putting out the bag I saw the Guajarati were looking at me with
a big smile. They said something to each other and started laughing out loud. I
thought that they were making fun of me and I sat down.
I started observing the Guajarati people very carefully then I felt by
their gestures that they were making fun of the foreigners. The foreigners
suddenly observed them and Guajarati people made a pleasant smile. Then both
people started their conversation in English. The People talked about their
destinations, ages, carriers and then the Gujarati people asked their names.
The foreigners told them that they were from Switzerland and are going to
visit Shimla. I also made my involvement in the conversation and asked them
‘what are nice places for tourism in Switzerland. ‘Do you want to go there’
they asked. I nodded and they said that there are many hill stations in
Switzerland. They also added that that Switzerland is a very small country
having the population of less than that of Uttarakhand.
The Gujarati people did a lot of conversation with the foreigners. I
was only listening to them and finding a way to involve in the conversation. I
failed to make involvement in the conversation and decided that I should go to
washroom. When I came back I saw that one of the Gujarati persons has taken my
seat and were having a nice conversation with foreigners. I sat on the
other chair and then I kept listening to their conversation until I asked them ‘can
I take your picture’, they agreed and said ‘In Bollywood Style’ and I took a
picture of them. After them I didn’t made any type of conversation with them. I
observed that the train has arrived to the destination and I, mom and Juhi put
our suitcase and got off the train. I had a very great experience with the
first acquaintance with a foreign people. The only regret is that I became
nervous with no reason and I didn’t say goodbye to those people. This
experience was great.

Hindi as syllabus
Hindi is widely
used language of India, we have developed a nice approach towards Hindi but in
schools it is not good so. We know that industrialization has made English a
global language so on many parts of India the pure Hindi (शुद्ध हिंदी) is not used so far. The use of pure Hindi as syllabus has
created a huge difficulty on various students.
Today in schools Hindi is taught
for the student’s good approach towards Hindi but using Hindi as a syllabus has
made horrible conditions. According to students the pure Hindi taught by teachers
give a huge syllabus of Hindi and teachers don’t give marks on normal Hindi. This
is resulting in causing a hatred for Hindi among various students.
The pure Hindi writings and
poetries by our ancient writers and poets should be taught in schools but
should not be applied in syllabus. The moral values, learnings should be given
to students as syllabus but not the pure Hindi.
Hindi is our regular language and
should be taught in schools but the pure Hindi taught to the students should be
in limited form and good form. The pure Hindi should be taught to those students
who are really interested in learning pure Hindi. This will reduce pressure
among students and dominance of Hindi will continue.

Is it good going school regularly?
We have
often heard from our parents that we should go to school regularly but many times
we avoid going to school because we feel sleepy or we don’t want to wake up so
early for going to school. There are many other reasons and excuses for avoiding
going school but this is also true that there is a logical reason for students which
makes them avoid going to school.
Most of students who don’t prefer going to school, are usually in secondary classes. There are other logical reasons other than
sleepiness of students to avoid going to school. Some students believe that
by self-studying they can study much better and they don’t need to go to school. Some
others believe that the way of the teaching of the teachers is not well. Some other students bunk school in the days of useless activities
or when a cultural function is going to be held in the school. These reasons can be true and cannot be
true depending on how a student is interested in studies.
There is
another reason that makes a student avoid going to school which is huge homework given to
them. Today teachers give huge amount of homework as per the board syllabus. These
assignments are so complicated and time consuming that a student sometimes
unable to complete it and bunk school.
In my
opinion a student should not attend school if he feels that a teacher is unable
to teach students in the right way. If he feel that he can cover his syllabus
at home comfortably he should not go to school. At the same time he should make sure that there mustn’t
be an over doing that . If over bunking is done a student will be
unaware of the important lectures done in the class. It can also affects the
results of students.
Bunking school
is good but over bunking is not good. Students should concentrate in their
studies and expects to get better outcomes in exams and from schools.

Flattery (chamchagiri) a shortcut to success
We see
various kinds of egoistic people in our schools, colleges and offices who are
usually our seniors. These people have the power to give some advantage to their juniors. Many people believe that hard work is the way to impress their seniors. Some people, however, believe that flattery is the best way to impress their seniors.
Flattery means starting appreciating a person without any reason and make him happy.
Employees use this method in various events, for example: - giving birthday
party to boss at office and appreciating boss on his usual or unusual issues . This method is followed not only in offices
but also in schools. Students start flattering their teachers in hope
that they will increase his or her marks. By using flattery many people get
profit from it without doing any hard work.
Flattery is
also done between best friends. That kind of flattery is not done in greed but
it is done to maintain their relationship as friends. In school I have always
seen that when relationship between two friends get spoiled by some reasons, one of
the friends try to maintain their relationship by apologizing or giving excuse
that he was just joking.
Flattery should be done in limits. Excess flattery of a person can lead to loss rather
than profit and can even spoil a relationship. Flattering can be done whether
to get profit or in maintaining a relationship but the main thing that we
should remember that greed is a curse and the appetite for getting more advantage can lead
to loss rather than profit.
