Volcanoes

Volcanoes are any vent in the crust of the Earth or other planet or satellite, from which molten rock, pyroclastic debris, and steam issue. Volcanism is the name given to the processes and phenomena associated with the surgical discharge of such material from volcanoes, geysers, and fumaroles. Volcanism is a profound process resulting from the thermal evolution of planetary bodies. Heat does not easily escape from large bodies by conduction or radiation. Instead, partial melting and buoyant rise of magma are major contributors to the process of heat flux from the Earth’s interior. Volcanoes are the surface manifestation of this thermal process, which has its roots deep inside the earth and which hurls its ashes high into the atmosphere. The term volcano can either mea the vent from which magma erupts to the surface or it can refer to the landform created by the solidified lava and fragmental volcanic debris that accumulate near the vent. Volcanoes affect humankind in many ways. Their destructiveness is awesome, but the risk involved can be reduced by assessing volcanic hazards and forecasting volcanic eruptions. Volcanism provides fertile soils, valuable mineral deposits, and geothermal energy. Over geologic time, volcanoes recycle the Earth’s Hydrosphere and atmosphere, and explosive eruptions can affect climate.

Earthquake

Earthquake means any sudden disturbance within the Earth manifested at the surface by a shaking of the ground. This shaking, which accounts for the destructiveness of an earthquake, is caused by the passage of elastic waves through the Earth’s rocks. These seismic waves are produced when some form of stored energy, such as much havoc as earthquakes. Over the centuries, they have been responsible for damage to property. While earthquakes lave inspired dread and superstitious awe since ancient times, little was understood about them until the emergence of seismology at the beginning of the 20^th century. Seismology, which involves the scientific study of all, aspects of earthquakes, has yielded answers to such long-standing questions as why and how earthquakes occur. About 5000 earthquakes large enough to be felt or noticed without the aid of instruments occur annually over the entire Earth. Of these, approximately 100 are of sufficient size to produce substantial damage if their centers are near areas of habitation. Very great earthquakes occur at an average rate of about one per year. Among the great earthquakes of the past are those of Lisbon in 1755: New Madrid, U.S., in December 1811 and January and February 1812; sun Francesco in 1906; Tokyo- Yokohama in 1923; the coast of Chile in 1960; south-central Alaska in 1964: Tang-Shan, china, in 1976; and Mexico in 1985.

Floods

Floods are high-water stage in which water overflows its natural or artificial banks onto normally dry land. The effects of floods on human well-being range from unqualified blessings to catastrophes. The regular seasonal spring floods of the Nile River prior to construction of the Aswan High Dam, for example, were depended upon to provide moisture and soil enrichment for the fertile floodplains of its delta. The uncontrolled floods of the Yangtze River and the Huang Ho in china, however, have repeatedly wrought disaster when these rivers habitually rechart their courses. Uncontrollable floods likely to cause considerable damage commonly result from excessive rainfall over brief periods of time, as, for example of Paris of Warsaw, of Frankfurt, am Main, and of Rome. Potentially disastrous floods may, however, also result from ice jams during the spring rise, as with the Danube River and the Neva River in Russia; from storm tides such as those of 1099 and 1953 that flooded the coasts of England, Belgium, and The Netherlands; and from tsunamis, the mountainous sea waves caused by earthquakes, as in Lisbon and Hawaii and South-East Asia.

The Educative Value of Traveling

“A gentleman should travel abroad, but live at home,” says a renowned scholar. What he has said id meaningful, but it is, perhaps also equally true that those who want to live well and meaningfully at home should travel abroad. In fact, traveling has as equal an educative value as textbooks have. Seeing is learning the real Pragmatic learning. If we go ort visiting people and places at times and see for ourselves what we would otherwise read in books, our learning would become more effective. What is normally written in textbooks? Nothing but the abstraction of the reality of what has happened, id happening, and may happen in future. If this is true, then it is also true that traveling should be a part of our academic education. The universities, colleges, and schools of most developed countries have already made it compulsory to travel of go on education tours. In Russia, for example, theoretical teaching is not at all given to students in the first year of their schooling on some subjects. Such evidences, and various other research work launched by scholars, hold out the fact that traveling has an immense educative value.

Bad Habits

Man is a servant to habit s and slave to bad habits. In our daily round, we most often do some types of work repeatedly. Some of these works we do for our apparent pleasure. Consequently, such works reinforce our activities and mentality. Such reinforced behavior is called habit. In addition, those habits, which have bad consequences either for the doer or for other people, are called bad habits. Sometimes such bad habits become very peculiar and odd. For example, the habit of pricking the nose, making meaningless sounds or body movements whole talking, biting the nail, producing meaningful words or expressions too frequently while speaking etc. are bad habits. There are other bad habits also. Smoking and taking drugs are examples of extremely bad habits. Once people from such habits some way or other, it is difficult for them to give them up. But can these habits not be given up at all? Surely they can. First , we have to have an intention to do so. Second, bad habits should be fought against little, if it is hard to get rid of them at a time. Most of all, man should not be slaves to habits, but habits should b slaves to man.

A Strike Day

A Strike day is a regular day, peculiar because it is unlike any other normal day of the year. Normally, we have some routine work to do every day. Some, for example, have office; some have their business and so on. In a word, the necessity of the day drives people onward their regular way. But what happens to them on a strike day? Unexpected! People who live from hand to mouth are disappointed, not knowing what to do, what to eat, how to deed the family. Those, on the other hand, who do good jobs at government or multinational companies, enjoy an unauthorized leave at home. Some high officials, of course, have to bear the hardship of rushing to office very early in the morning, as they have to go on foot at the at the risk of their prestige, sometimes their lives. To look at the streets, we see a peculiar scenario. Almost at every public square and highway, supporters of the strike gang up and create barricades, impeding the movements of vehicles. Often bangs of cocktails bursting heard around. On some streets, finding them bare, children play cricket, football, and games. Markets and shops are closed. To some people, the day becomes a suffocating one. Some people, however, for relevant reasons, remember such day as though it were a memorable day in their lives!

A walk the riverside

Walking is a good exercise for the body, but walking by the riverside in a cool afternoon of evening is a good exercise not just for the body, but for the mind too. Such a walk enables one to come in close contact with nature. Lulling gentle breeze quenches the thirds of the mind the vermillion cloud-gilt sky and the crimson glossy waters smile solemnly through the surrounding. Everywhere is scattered an enticing feeling having the capability of quenching the thirst of the mind. There are various types of food for the eye, for the ear for all the senses. Such a walk arouses the emotion and thus an aesthetic intoxication I n the mind. At that time, as the ensuing night signals its pacifying calmness, so the departing day has the last meet with nature. This coincidence creates a unique possibility of enjoyment

My reading room

My reading room is a medium-sized room with a large window facing the south. There being a tiny slice of flower garden by the side of the window, sweet odor of blooming flowers drift into my room. This throws a spell on my senses, which is why most of the time I enjoy sitting in my room beside the window, even if my purpose is not to study. My room is well furnished. A table, a chair, a single bed, some photographs of some famous scholars, poets and leaders, two large bookshelves, a carpet, and other necessaries together form the beauty and pleasantness of my reading room. On the shelves, there are many books, over and above my textbooks. Good reading necessitates goods surrounding. The atmosphere of my reading room being attractive, I enjoy reading in the room, Sometimes, however, I take rest on the small bed, but I do not use it for nocturnal sleeping.

A bridal party

A bridal party is not only nice to look at, but perhaps nicer to get involved in. The jovial gang of people, including children, youths, adults, senior people, males and females, makes an attractive and eye-catching procession characterized by its colour, sounds and cries, music, and above all, the inspiration of the moment. For the bridegroom, it is a unique and perhaps the most remarkable day of this life. Amidst the boisterous atmosphere of the party, he gets lost in himself, trying to draw himself with extra efforts towards the future. Others, too, plunge into some depth of their mind in search of a catchy feeling of moment. They do not seem to think rather, they seem only to feel a sensuous feeling. Pleasure and joyful participation can unite people more strongly than can sorrow and grudge. That is why there is a strong cohesiveness among the participants of a bridal party. People as I feel are no less happy when they arrange for getting someone marred than when they thinks about their own marriage.

Annual sports of my college

Among the extracurricular social activities of colleges, what attracts students most is the annual sports programme. As far as my college is concerned, our annual sports programme, like that of many other colleges, is held in the beginning of winter. The one conducted at our college campus covers a period of three consecutive says, which is followed by a series of sessions of practice. The programme includes many items of games, designed and chosen for students of all kinds, male and female included, The matches are arranged in seers, leaving intervals for rest, The games usually start at 8 am and end at 5 pm each day. Our sports program includes exports requiring not only physical efforts, but also mental exertion, including, for example, mental exertions, including, for example, mental exercise. The “Dress as you like” programme is a special recreational attraction. Not less attractive is the prize-giving ceremony held in the evening of the last day. We enjoy the competition as well as the participation.

paragraph writting A procession

A procession

A procession is a congregation of people unified to demonstrate their intention to do something, moving from one place to another with festoons, banners etc. in the hands of the members and, often, with slogans in their voices. A procession, unlike a crowd or mob, has a planed behavioral pattern. It can be based on political, social, cultural, or on any other special or “one-time” purpose. Some processions, like cultural or other ceremonial, are nice-looking. They also have a positive effect on the mentality and perception of the onlookers. So with the political processions. They create awareness, consciousness and, as far as the processions of our country are concerned, terror. What is more, politics in Bangladesh seems mainly to be based on the terrifying menace of processions. That is why such processions often do not follow any socially acceptable of constructive norm of conduct. Rather, they behave more like mobs than like civilized unified groups. However, processions are outcomes of people’s values, desires, obsessions, purposes and among many other things, of their existential consciousness. They exist, and will continue to exist.

Truthfulness

Truthfulness is speaking the truth, sticking to the truth, acting according to the truth, preaching the truth and, above all surrendering oneself to the truth. It is, thought fro this point of view, what we should do. Therefore, truthfulness, essentially, also entails what we should not do. But there is a controversy over the “should” we are concerned with. That we should be truthful is beyond doubt but the problem arises when what is truth is to be defined. Normally, our values and perceptions of truth, largely, are governed by religion. To most people, something is true only because religion declares it to be true. This tendency has narrowed the scope of truth. Yet, there is the objective truth that religions as well as philosophy have always pursued and have been able to identify. Truthfulness, therefore, is to persistently pursue these objective norms of behavior. Simply we can say that being truthful is being constructive, useful, attractive and humble. In a word, truthfulness is goodness.

My home

My home

Any dwelling place may not be called a home if it lacks the presence of human elements – family relationship, love, affection, peaceful, coexistence. The dwelling place in which I live is, on these grounds, a perfect home, which ties together a place, humans and animals. Our home is a two-story building with four rooms on each floor. Ours being a joint family, there are twelve members in it. The number of bread-earning people is only two, and I belong to the dependent group, which is the majority. Both my parents are alive. My grandfather, a widower, also lives with us. I have four brothers and three sisters. My eldest brother, one bread-earning member of our family like my father, is married and has a little son. We have a dog, three cats two cows, and some pet birds, not to mention the hens and ducks which Mon and my two sisters raise. Our home, perhaps the reader has already inferred, is situated in a suburb, in the close touch of nature. I love my home.

My college library

My college library is enriched with books of various kinds− academic and nonacademic. It is a reservoir of knowledge. It has a collection of about 200 titles, the total number of books being nearly 2,500. It is, frankly speaking, not an all-inclusive collection by any means. But books on essential subjects are available. The classification and arrangement of books in our library are very orderly, with the result that any book on any subject, if available there, is easily traceable by any student without having to knew the techniques of library science. The head librarian, no less than her assistants, is friendly to us all. We can borrow any book from it, if we have valid membership. There is, however, a rule that no person can keep a book at home for more than a week. If anybody needs to keep a book at home for more than the staid period, he or she must, according to the rules of the library, have it reissued at or she must, according to the rules of the library, have it reissued at or before the expiry of each of such periods, a violation of which will result in financial penalization depending on the number of days the book was kept home unauthorized. There are, however, some books, which nobody has the permission to issue to reissue at or before the expiry of each of such periods, a violation of which will result in financial penalization depending on the number of days the book was kept home unauthorized. There are however, some books, which nobody has the permission to issue to read them at home. Hopefully, newer and newer items are being added to the list every year.

Discipline

Any system material or human must have some guiding principles so as to unify the different parts or diverse activities towards the achievement of some planned goals. The whole universe, or more specifically, nature, for example, is governed by some natural “Laws”, any aberration from which must lead to chaos or disequilibrium in the balancing state of various pats of the system. As with the material world, so with human society, if not in the strictest sense. Society, including various institutions of it, is a system of which each and every individual is a constituent part. Man, therefore, must adhere to some rules and regulations to adjust him to the society he lives in. These rules and the adherence to such rules are called discipline. Discipline, however, includes any constructive living pattern followed in the daily life. To be frank, the civilized man is a product of discipline. But for it, no organization would run; no army could have a cohesive power in it, no big achievement in the human worked would be possible.

A stormy night

When the night falls, we generally cannot see well except in the presence of light. However, even worse, when there arises a storm in the night, many people who lave reasons to get terrified by its destructive power, cannot think clearly, so to say. Those, for example, who do not live in strongly built houses, get upset out of fear in such a night. The wild wind blows desperately, ransacking the branches of trees, house-roofs and many other things. Sometimes whirlwinds fly about withered leaves and torn twins. Dust and other small particles shoot around, hitting various objects, house-roofs, and windows included. Smack go some trees of their doors and branches. Many “kancha” house collapses, often resulting in losses of lives. Crops are damaged. The storm, if arises when people are asleep, awakens all. Hardly anybody can have a sound sleep as long as the storm lists. It is not a nice experience at all.

A Moonlit Night

A moonlit night is a remarkable occasion for a beauty-seeker who has an aesthetic thirst for poetic feeling. In a moonlit night, nature looks as though it were a dreamland full of life but painted on a colored canvas. Things, as a whole, seem to be a living poem harmoniously unifying a huge variety of subjects. The moon, as it drifts along in the sky, darts its romantic look at the earth, tinting it with a vivacious glow of spiced color. The night is calm. Seem from a high place, the flora together with the edging waterline or river; look as if they were resting peacefully. All this catches the imagination: that is why it arouses some imagination. Imagination, as we know, is thought dominated by feeling, with a flavor of intoxication. A moonlit night has all the quality to arouse such solemn intoxication in the mind. The deeply glowing pieces of flocculent clouds fixed to the ceiling if the sky snatches the mind away. Such a night is worth enjoying foregoing the opportunity of sleep.

Photography is My hobby

My hobby

Everyone must have a hobby, goes the saying. So have I. My hobby is photography; I have, so to say, become addicted to it. Almost every week I go on an outing in remote villages, sometimes in distant parts of the country, to take photographs of my interest. Natural scenery, different life styles of different peoples, wild animals and such things are the main objects of my interest. I have, to be frank, a peculiar mania: I enjoy the reality most when I find an opportunity to see it in picture. I dream of reality, and I take pleasure in considering it a dream. My photograph makes me plunge into such a mufti-color dreamland. At times, however, I arrange for a show of the best of my works, which people appreciate and give me encouragement. Hobby, as we all know, is for the pleasure of life, and not for a living. Yet my hobby sometimes pays me financially. Consequently, I hardly ever face any financial crisis it continuing my work. I am proud of my hobby, not just because it gives me pleasure, but because others also enjoy my creation.

My college campus

One can hardly think of a college without an adjoining campus. In fact, most students who skip into college life from an earlier stage differentiate it more from a psychological point of view than from a functional. And it is, in most of the cases, the college campus which makes them think so. As for myself, I am fond of my college especially because it has a huge campus full of trees herbs and flower plants. There is a playground which is very dear to us all. During Tiffin times as well as before and after class-hours, we enjoy sitting under the tree shades, gossiping and sometimes discussing important things. On special days we decorate our campus eye-scathingly. Our campus is not, unfortunately, free from ill-motive student politics and frequent clashes. Sometimes it turns into a territory of terror. But we have become accustomed to such nuisance to some extent. So, despite this bad side, my college campus is a part and parcel of my daily life; there is hardly any day when I do not mix with my friends here to enjoy some time. I am proud of my college campus.

A Village Fair

A village fair is a gathering of village people at a certain places, usually in an open field or under a huge banyan tree or in an open bazar, to enjoy an informal ceremonial interaction. It is a traditional. It is a traditional heritage of the Bengalis. In the fair many things are bought and sold. There are attractive things for people of all ages, including male and female ones. Special attractions include Jarigan, Kabigan, merry-go-rounds, magic show, Jattra, and so on. Handicraft goods occupy an important place in the fair. Such fairs are held normally two or three times a year on the occasions of the New Year Day, Eid Days, and the Durga Puja. They help survive our tradition through generations downward. They are, for the reason, very important from a socio-cultural point of view.

Democracy

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, Democracy is a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. In the system of government, the public directly governs the state. People elect some persons for some selected posts by direct vote, and then that group of elected people governs the country. This type of government is elected people only for a specified time, upon the lopes of which the leaders resign. This system is said to be the most effective one ensuring the highest degree of flexibility as well as accountability. At present most of the countries of the world are run by this system of government. Tenets of this system say that of all the systems it is the last one. But others say that it has some major drawbacks including procrastination in decision making, dependence on mechanized bureaucracy, national conflict and commotion, and excessive electoral expenditure. However, with all its drawbacks, it is the most widely accepted system of government in the present world.

Necessity of Learning English

Our mother tongue –Bengla –is very rich and strong, no doubt, but since we live in an international environment now days, we cannot do sway with English. In fact, English is the most influential language and one of the most enriched languages of the world. At present, it is necessary for us Bangalees, because not only it is the richest reservoir of literature, but also because most of the knowledge, experience, research, findings are stored in this language. We cannot but fall back on English as a medium of acquiring higher education. Truth to tell, we can acquire no higher acquisition, so to say, without this language. However, it is not only the acquisition of higher education that necessitates us to learn English, international and business communication is and other major are which international business concerns and non –business institutions almost all types of correspondence are made in English. Even, if we want to hold out the culture, reputation, and history of our country to the world we must learn English. But, after all, we must bear in mind that it is nothing but a language –and hot a cult or religion –and we must treat it as such.

Monday

How to Organize a Picnic

How to organize a picnic

This is not at all difficult to organize a picnic. For organizing a picnic in a school, a committee is formed with some active students and representatives from the teachers. The teachers in the picnic committee give necessary instructions to the students in the committee for making the attempt a success. At first, the venue of the picnic is selected. Then student representatives collect contribution from the participating students at a fixed rate. Sometime, the school also contributes in a picnic from the school’s cultural fund. When a handsome number of students give their contributions then other preparations such as hiring bus, arranging for food and utensils, arranging loudspeaker, writing banner etc. are taken. On the appointed day all the students have to come to the appointed place in time. All the participants have to be sincere, responsible, punctual, and active to make a picnic a success.

Sunday

Mass Media

Mass Media, or media, according to dictionary, includes the newspaper, television, and radio, which are used to communicate with the mass of the people. These are generally controlled and governed by the government of the country. Mass media are the most effective weapons of the government’s propaganda and circulations. Sometimes they build awareness among people toward some desired courses of action through these media. But in the modern age the media have not been used as only a means of informing people. They have a close connection with entertainment too. Various cultural and recreational programs preached through the media are very entertaining to people. Until recently, the mass media were fully owned and controlled by the government. Recently in many countries except Bangladesh, they have been privatized. The consequences of this privatization, however, have not only been good, but bad and harmful too.

Patriotism

Man cannot live without loving. The heart is made only to love –to love own self, the family, and the other people of the society. In some cases, he loves by choice of on condition. However, there is one thing that he loves for no return –his country. And this love is called patriotism. Patriotism is man’s inherent characteristic. The soil, water, sky, air, environment, culture –all these things of a specific country nourish the people living therein. So man’s body, mind, soul –the total being –is nurtured by various elements of his country. Consequently, the love that he has for his country if full of gratefulness, dutifulness and responsibility. Since all his wealth and achievements are a contribution to him by his country, a patriot never hesitates to give away hid wealth, power, reputation, even his life for the good of his country. Thus, patriotism becomes a part and parcels his own identity. Patriotism is pure love. It is more than human love for other individual human beings. In the words of Edwin Arnolds, “I love my life true, but not more than I love my motherland.

A Walk in the country

It was the month of late Autumn. A bright, calm afternoon. I was tired of the mundane work of the day. So, I felt like having a carefree walk along the band of the river Pusher. Therefore, I did. I set out for my walk. About fifteen minutes were over when I reached the river. The setting sun looked aslant on the river and the flora. The waters, with all the tiny lively waves, glistened like diamond. The treetops were bathed with the warm shower of honeyed light. The warmth that the sun was besmearing over the earth was, for the reason of a romantic nature. Gentle breeze was caressing the half-inclined heads of the purely-green paddy plants, causing them to undulate slightly so as to form a series of harmonious waves of wide-spread green. The odorous breeze touched my heart, my imagination. The beauty of nature charmed me; by the way, it welcomed me. The walk that I took was a pleasant one. It refreshed me; It gave me an opportunity to come in close contact with nature. I wished I had been able to remain in touch with that romantic atmosphere lifelong.

Modesty

King Solomon said, “Pride wrecks havoc on man, but modesty gives him the crown of honor.” Modesty is the successful consequence of man’s knowledge. Modesty is the expression of gentleness, friendliness, and lawful attitude in man’s conduct and behavior. It is one of the most important and rarest qualities of human life. It is virtual, the behavioral social outcome of a wise and satisfied mind. It ensures the balanced and beautiful growth of man’s mind, and spreads it socially in a balanced way. Nothing can substitute the appeal of modesty to his social and mental perfection. To build up a habitual modesty, the role of practice and self-will is stronger than that of knowledge. Moreover, as far as the stages of life are concerned childhood has o alternative in ensuring the proper building up of modesty in man’s mind. If modesty is taught to a child from its very childhood by both oral teaching and examples, then optimum results can be achieved.

Perseverance

“Perseverance is to continue to do what can never be done,”

goes the saying. Odd as it may sound, there is truth in this saying. Virtually, there is nothing that man cannot do. Only what be has to do is to keep doing and doing without being demoralized. Success will come some day or other, though it may apparently be the conception about something that it cannot be done. The task that is easily done at the first attempt is undoubtedly very easy. But the reality is that man’s success depends on whether he can do the toughest tasks successfully. It is because our life is complicated and tough. And to succeed in this tough battle perseverance and hard-work is a must. It is a unique precondition to success in life. We can substantiate this fact when we look at the reality of life and the history of man’s success. Perseverance helps us do what we otherwise would consider impossible to do.

Punctuality

“Seize the day”, Cried Horace about two thousand years ago. But time and tide wait for none. Time passes and passes.

Nobody can stop time’s ever-busy frigate for at best a second. It passes away throwing everything into the dark mysterious cavern of the past. Yet, it can be made full use of. Only punctuality can ensure the proper utilization of time. To think more concretely, life, be it long or short, is limited by a specified period, It is made up of time, so to say. For this reason, though life does not mean just a collection of time, we are apt to measure life by the yardstick of periods and moments. In fact, life is a small event left at the mercy of the never-ending current of evanescent time, both the beginning and the end of the event being imprisoned in the cage of time. Life is ruled by time. Punctuality means growing the flowers of life’s achievement by disciplined efforts in desert of the futile time. Punctuality means, in a metaphorical sense, binding time in works and achievements. Therefore, punctuality is to success as success is to life itself. But punctuality does not always mean working and working incessantly. Rather, it implies the systematic combination of work and leisure as well. Proper leisure is a part of proper work. In the words of a poet, “leisure is to work as the eye lid is to the eye.” Therefore leisure must be there after every work. Man wastes away many things, most of which can be gained back. But time, once wasted, can never be regained.

Computer

The literal meaning of the word ‘computer’ is an instrument that computes or does various calculations. Fundamentally, it is a calculating machine. It can perform various calculations like addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and so on. In fact, it can receive innumerable data and instructions and perform thousands of calculations within seconds and then give the results. A part from doing mathematical calculations, a computer has surprising capabilities of manipulating the input data according to logic and making conclusions as per instructions. The work, which a man would otherwise do in thousands of days in done by the computer within minutes or hours. The modern computer is a very modern electronic instrument. A computer has two main aspects: The hardware and the software. The hardware is the machine itself, and the software is a combination of various symbolic instructions of codes, better know as computer language. It has some components as input devices, the CPU or the Central Processing Unit, the output devices. The input devices receive instructions in codes, which are similar to human language. The hardware can be thought of as the skeleton and the software as the flesh and blood-if the whole computers were to be imagined of as a human being. The software or the programs virtually help the hardware function the way the user wants it to. The programs are of two types –one is the operating system and the other, the applications program. The computer can be classified according to its size, speed, and internal structure. It is perhaps the strangest gift of science.

College Magazine

The College Magazine

A college magazine is a periodical published by a college –mainly by the students. It is the mouthpiece of the college. That has such a magazine, has an Editorial committee of Board. Consisting mainly of students, usually headed by one of the teachers. Generally, a college magazine consists of writings of various sorts like poems, articles, stores, criticisms, one-act plays, comics, funny facts, and performance report of the college. The student of the college contributes most of these pieces of writing. It is an ideal and primary media for students to express their thoughts, imaginations, hidden capabilities, and attitudes. To reap the most benefit from the college magazine, some important points are to be kept in mind. Firstly, involvement of experienced teachers must be ensured in the publishing activities. Secondly, students who want to contribute pieces of writing to published in magazine should be trained up well beforehand. Thirdly, teachers may lend new ideas, and preferably teach the students practical techniques for developing these ideas, for writing good articles, stories, and so on. Fourthly, the college authority bad to be much liberal in giving the magazine committee sufficient financial assistance. If these initiatives are taken, ten, the college magazine is likely to be of great benefit to the entire college.

When the Evening Comes

When the Evening Comes

When the sun, after hard work of the day, becomes tired and is about to go beyond the limit of the horizon, it invites the night for the world and says good-bye to the world. At this, time it begins to be dark all over the horizon. Moreover, I stop toward my home like a bird flying toward its nest. I look around with the eagerness of a foreign tourist. How nice everything looks! The remnant of the last rays of the departing sun has tinged the tender leaves of the trees all around. It seems that everything around has bathed in a huge sea of blood-red vermillion. In the field, the cattle are returning home splashing dust with their tails. At times their offspring’s are running, jumping, and galloping ahead of them in ecstatic merriment. The evening is calm. It has covered the earth with a mysterious canopy of heavenly fabric. Everywhere is flooded under a mystery. Abstruseness. It becomes darker, and I star for home.

Effects of watching TV

The Effect of TV on Our Youngsters

Television, a source of much knowledge, pleasure, and information, and a widely used media of mass communication, is now being looked at from a different point of view. Is the TV really doing us, especially the youngsters of our new generation, good or bad? It is an important question both to ask and to answer indeed. Looked from an educational point of view, the TV is to be considered one of the most effective means of educating both the students and the public as a whole. Again, it has almost become the most effective and popular means of people’s recreation. Films, dramas, songs, dances, comedy series –all these are very attractive packages of programs. As a means of communications TV is, though not the most important, yet the most effective, means of communication. Up to this point, we must say the TV is doing good to our youngsters by educating them and by giving them recreational facilities. But as far as the satellite TV is concerned, we cannot say this for sure. The commercial package programs broadcast by satellite TVs are detrimental to our youngsters, pernicious to our societies, threatening to our values and traditions and religious beliefs.

How to cultivate land

It is not easy to cultivate land. Most of the crops have their specific time of cultivation. There are also some crops that can be cultivated round the year. For cultivating land it has to be plowed and harrowed well first. For some crops the seed has to be sown of scattered directly in the land. For some other crops a separate seedbed has to be prepared where seeds are scattered thickly and when the seeds germinate and the plants are a few days old, they are transplanted in the prepared land. When the plants begin to grow, the land is weeded regularly. Moreover, manure, fertilizes, and insecticides are put regularly in the field for ensuring proper growth to plants. When the crops mature, they are harvested and husked.

Altruism

The dictionary definition of altruism is unselfishness –caring for others good before one’s own. And a person with altruism is an altruist. It is a people we interact with in our daily round are selfish and greedy, But majority does not always count. Good is always good. And the really good are never vilified by the bad, on the contrary, they tend to be better, And that is why, hopefully, there are still altruistic people in the world. Whatever they do, they do for the well-being of others. History proudly holds up the biographies of such people. They are very strange human beings. Mundane happiness hardly ever attracts –or better say attacks –them, yet they even lay down their lives for other people’s mundane as well as spiritual well-being. They think for people; they dream for people; they work for people. Surprisingly enough, they do not expect any return. The altruism of, for example, Hazard Muhammad (Sm), Jesus Christ, Mother Teresa, Florence Nightingale, Karl Marx, Lenin, Newton and such other people is unbelievable. The purport of their teachings is: to be happy in life, become a good spouse: to be influential in social life, be a good neighbor or leader; but to be a real human being, be an altruist. Because “We must love one another or die.”

Fraternity

“God did not want to crate all men; that is why. He created mothers.” And mothers have been giving birth to other men, including other mothers. If we think backward in the reverse way, we can conclude that the whole humankind emerged from one mother. Therefore, we can easily assume that anybody we come across any time is our brother or sister. Although remote, we all have blood-connection with one another. So, does it look nice if we consider only our co-uterine ones our brothers and sisters? Of course not. All people –at least those living in the same society –are brothers or sisters to one another. Treating people as such is called fraternity. It is fraternity that can tie up people in one group and make them live in a vast social family as though they were members of it. Fraternity makes us happy and forever can it keep us united.

An Ideal Teacher

The ideal of a thing is often a theoretical concept, and rare in reality. Yet we must pursue it to advance toward more and more perfection. In this sense, everything has an ideal at its top. And so has teacher ship. An ideal teacher is one who is not only knowledgeable, sincere, farsighted, and self-taught, but also very dear to students. He must know how to discover the treasure hidden inside the students and help to develop it. In giving the teaching, he must be an actor and an innovator. He must have penetrating insight and immense knowledge of education psychology. He should be wise enough to teach students how they can teach themselves. He must, frankly speaking, know well what he knows and what he does not know. Unlike other ordinary teachers, he should train his students up such that they no longer have to depend on teachers. Finally, an ideal teacher is one who makes himself unnecessary to his pupils.

What is character?

Character

What is character? –is a very old question, and very difficult to answer. Normally we mean by character a set of behavior representing truthfulness, kindness, considerateness, and innocence. But behavior is a set of visible activities –it may not represent a person’s true inner being. A person may try to appear fair while he or she is not really so. This paradoxical fact necessitates us to include another element in the definition o character. A man will reveal his true character when he is allowed to do whatever he wishes. A very rich man may not be a thief at present, but do we know for sure that he would not steal if he were utterly poor? Likewise, a beggar who looks very gentle and soft might be a tyrant if he were a king. Man’s true character is revealed when he has ample of opportunity to do anything he wishes. Or, if a man is sure that nobody can see what he does, then most probably he will do what he likes by nature. The proverb rightly says: Your character is what you do in the dark.
