FESTIVAL THAT I CELEBRATED RECENTLY
By: Rohan

India is the land of festivals. There are various festivals are being celebrated here. Recently I celebrated holi with my family, friends and neighbours on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. at the end of winter. We started this festival one night before with Holika Dahan. 

Interestingly, The story behind celebrating this festival is that the son of hiranyakashyap, Prahalad was forced to worship his own father but he refused to do so. His father became very angry and decided to kill his own son by various means. One of the means of killing his son through his aunt holika, by placing both in fire as she was given a boon to remain unharmed from fire. Fortunately, prahlad was saved. However, Holika (his aunt) was burnt. From that day, people celebrate Holika Dahan to remain healthy and happy by burning their sins. And the next morning, they celebrate colourful holi to show their happiness.

On the first day, we all assembled in the evening. we light a bonfire. ladies made sweet chapattis over it. Everone pray for their goodness. We went to our homes and slept.  

On the next morning, All ladies of my neighborhood went to temple. We all assemble in the street of our neighborhood with colours, water buckets, water guns and water balloons. People started dancing and filling colours on each other. Children threw balloons on everyone and outsiders. Some teenagers threw balloons, water and colours from the roof on them. Outsiders got confused on where the balloons, water and colours come from. After sometime we all had breakfast at our houses and come back.
In reality, this festival should be celebrated with natural colours. Alternatively, We can use tumeric, flour, flowers as substitutes of colours to play holi.

Everyone felt very happy. We enjoyed very much. This holi become memorial for all of us.

ROAD SAFETY FOR PEDESTRIANS

Respected Principal, My worthy teachers and Dear friends. Today I am going to share my views on ‘Road Safety For Pedestrians’.

Pedestrian is the most important part of traffic & are at a greater risk. Road accidents are increasing in today's world at a faster rate. The biggest problem is at crosswalks pedestrians are not be really safe. Pedestrians are not just walkers,  travel on foot they are people doing all kinds of activities, for example Bikers, Joggers, Roller bladers/roller skaters, Skateboarders, Walkers etc are the most vulnerable (able to be easily hurt, influenced or attacked) of those who use roads.

For this reason, they should be very well protected. In order to remain safe, pedestrians should inherit the habit of using road infrastructure properly.  Subways, Zebra Crossings, foot over bridges should be used to cross the road. Short cuts and easy options of crossing roads are dangerous and should not be preferred. One should walk with care and with all sense and look around on coming traffic. We must avoid crossing road where drivers may not be able to see you. In addition, we should wait for suitable gap in the traffic flow before crossing the road. & never jump over the divider railings, you may lose temper due to over traffic. Children are more sensitive to the dangers of road. Moreover,  It is not only the drivers of the vehicles who cause accidents but carelessness of children and lack of awareness which add up the cause of accidents on road. Always hold hands of children while crossing the road. Teach your child to walk on footpath, encourage them to use subways, zebra crossing etc. Teach them to look at your right, left and right again and make sure that  no vehicle is coming and then walk and cross the road. If you will do the right thing on road, your child will follow you and will remain safe in traffic. 

Furthermore, people should avoid using roads for morning walks and jogging. They must take extra care if they are crossing the road on or near a curve. Pedestrians should not use parking areas to cross the road. And don't think that crossing road by the shortest and  direct route reduces your time on road.
  

To sum it up, everyone must follow the road rules.  

Thank you 

How To Curb The Spread of COVID-19.

 Q. These days you read much about corona disease in news paper. As Principal of your school you have decided to deliver a speech  on how to curb the spread of covid-19 in an online class. Write your speech in about 150-200 words  You are Sukriti/Sushpal.

How To Curb The Spread of COVID-19

Dear students.

Today I am going to talk on how to curb the spread of covid-19.

Covid-19 is one of the most deadly virus or disease found in china and whole world is under its trap. It is a communicable disease and can cause an epidemic. This disease sometimes proves fatal, especially in the crowdy places (in the crowd). Covid spreads through droplets produced when an infected person coughs sneezes or speaks. It transmitted through air. Covid generally begins with one person and then spreads rapidly in the whole locality.

If unluckily a person feels a symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath) of covid he should immediately quarantine himself so that it can be prevented from spreading at the right time and inform the local health authorities about the case. One can prevent the outbreak (unwelcome) of Corona Virus by taking some measures.

To protect yourself, strictly follow the lockdown imposed by the government.  clean your hands with handwash, soaps and sanitizers thoroughly and frequently. Always put the mask and carry sanitizers while going out of home. It is advised to drink decoction काढ़ा 2-3 times a day and include cinnamon दालचीनी, tumeric, black pepper, licorice mulethi, tulsi leaves in regular regime (diet).

Even after taking these precautions, if one catches the virus, he should (immediately consult the doctor.) be taken to the doctor immediately and should be treated property. Remember 'Prevention is better than cure'. Prevention of covid-19 is as much in the hands of people as in the hands of the government or municipality. So, take no risk.

Thank you.

Sir

Sub : Hoarding of food items during lockdown.

Through one of the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I want to share my concern about hoarding food items during the COVID-19 crisis.

The whole world is under the COVID-19 crisis. There is a lockdown in the whole country. Production is not taking place in the factories. Many People have lost their jobs. They have no food to eat. Authorities are doing their best. They are providing daily use items to the needy. But, shopkeepers have started hoarding food items out of the total panic. Even retailers and wholesellers have also started hoarding food items to sell it at higher prices at the time of scarcity. 

This covid crisis cannot be tackled by the government alone. All people should come forward and help each other. Through this column, I make an earnest appeal to the citizens to rise above selfish interest at this critical juncture of lockdown due to COVID-19 virus.

Yours truly

POACHING: THE GREATEST THREAT TO INDIA'S WILDLIFE

Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends ! I am here to speak on poaching- The greatest threat to India’s wildlife. 

With the advancement of science and technology,  number of misuse of animals must be plumted (decreased) but it is sking high. Poaching is considered as the most serious threat to the survival of animals. It is the greatest threat to wild life. Poching to put it simply means illegal killing of animals for their skins, bones, meat etc.

The most important cause of illegal killing of funna species is that their body parts being used for various purposes such as skin leather is used for making various products such as purses, shoes, wrist watches, belts etc and people use their flesh to eat and species like tigers, snake, elephant, deers, birds, rhinoceros etc are facing the danger of extinction. on the other side such killed animals are used to sale for its valuable price as it can be easily sold by hunters, poachers, smugglers at high price in the black market. So the higher authorities must spend lavishly on the protection of wildlife and there should be establishment of restricted areas and such authorities must keep an eye on such smugglers, poachers, corrupt forest guards and officers.

Government must implement various laws to conserve wildlife across the country so as to remove this problem and proper security for wildlife so that animals can rome free without the danger of being hunted. A person should be punished if somebody tries to perform any malpractice against nature.

Moreover, the animals are significant part of our eco system and it plays an indispensable role in maintaining biological balance on the earth. Therefore, the loss of any species will lead to the loss of balance which even harms human lives. one cannot ignore that animal species have been vanishing at much faster rate and extinction of one species can collapse the whole food chain. Similarly, animals are used for experiment purposes in this modern era. To exemplify, the medicines and other products are routinely tested on animals before they are cleared for human use like they are used in laboratory for the effective measurement of a new drug. whereas, humans have no right to subject animals to this kind of injury. 

 In conclusion,  people are not spending too many resources in preserving wildlife. So the flora and fauna should be protected as much as possible because of their essential role in humans life. If poaching is not checked immediately, our wildlife will disappear completely one day.

The country is facing severe pandemic, covid-19 now a days. It is transmitting from one person to another at a very high rate. People are getting sick and die. Till now, there is no vaccine and medicine of this virus all over the world. Scientists, doctors, WHO, researchers are continuously performing their experiments to invent medicine and vaccine of this fatal disease.

The authorities are doing their best. Our PM is also continuously making the attempts to eradicate this virus from the country. He said that the gesture world would make us feel that we are not alone but together in this fight against COVID-19. He asked to light candles, lamps and hold mobile torches for nine minutes at 9:00 P.M.

This fatal disease cannot be eradicated by these people alone. PM made it clear that corona virus can be combated with the cooperation of people. The general public should come forward. Through this column, I make an appeal to one and all to rise above petty politics, religion and caste and light a candle and lamp of hope for nine minutes on 5th April 2020 as an expression of hope and solidarity against India's corona virus fight.
