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 4^th 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.

Difference between a good teacher and bad teacher

                                                

When we talk about teachers,  we usually think of his or her attitude towards student. We see the way of teaching, the teacher’s power to make students understand about a particular topic and the will power of teacher to clear doubts  of students. From the point of view of students these abilities make a teacher a good teacher otherwise a bad teacher.

A good teacher should have the will power to clear doubts of students on their topic. Those teachers who don’t take any kind of interest in student’s problems are not good teachers. These teachers are money minded. From these teachers the students are not able get cooperation in school and can’t understand the topic. As a result this students can’t get better results in examination.

There are some other teachers who believe that students have to cooperate with the teacher. If they find a student not cooperating with the teacher or not maintaining discipline in the class, these teachers give physical or even mental punishment to students. All these teachers can’t be said bad teachers as many of these teachers have the ability to teach students in a right way.

There is another issue named ‘Homework’ given by teachers. Some cases appear when a student attends external educational institutions and they don’t have enough time to complete their school homework. As a result after giving such excuses to teachers, students get punishment from teachers as they could't complete their work. Even the most intelligent student of the class suffers punishment as he is unable to complete his work. These teachers don’t care about student’s performance; they only care about that homework should be done by  the student.

Whether a teacher is a good teacher or a bad teacher we should concentrate in our studies and should get better results.

                                                    Revolution History of the World

We read in history books that how many people struggle for their rights and struggle with unity. This is called Revolution, in early times people were ruled by a king so they didn’t have the important rights like Right to Freedom of Speech and Right to Religion. That time scientists were not free to express their views and experiments and if they did they were considered as blasphemy (against Religion) and were given death sentence. All these lead to Revolution.

Revolution for freedom of ideas:-

In 17^th century the people of church predicted that Earth is a centre of cosmos and the other planets including sun are revolving around it, Earth is fixed on its position. The Italian scientist Galileo Galilee observed with his telescope that Earth and the other planets are revolving around the Sun. He discovered a very big event and he had the evidence; he knew that it was risky about mobilizing the discovery to people even that he launched a book on the discovery. Galileo’s book inspired many people and scientist but not the church. Galileo was given life sentence by the church on the charge of blasphemy but Galileo had already alarmed the people and led to the revolution. Later Galileo’s discovery was accepted.

After 100 years of Revolution an English Scientist named Edward Jenner was once a patient small pox in his childhood, at that time small pox was a common disease. To heal the disease he suffered a great pain, he was suffering the terror of healing than the disease. When he became a doctor he observed that the people living in villages didn’t have the small pox. So he made an experiment on a patient of small pox he took some puss from the patient of cow pox and added to the patient of small pox after a week the patient’s disease was cured. Edward Jenner called this discovery vaccination. Today small pox is an extinct disease. Hence revolution has changed the world.

Revolution in countries:-

In 17^th century America was a British Colony, the British were raising tax on tea. America was in the terror of this taxation. An American politician Samuel Adams revolted against tea tax; he united the American workers and stormed at the ships of tea. The workers sank a trillion tone of tea and this led to American Revolution.

In late 17^th century the king of France Louise 16^th increased the tax on food grains which led to the French Revolution. After France was declared republic the king was ordered not to leave France but later he tried to escape but was unsuccessful. The king was sentenced to death.

The French’s business was on slavery. Many slaves from different countries were forced to work for free. The slaves didn’t like the system and revolted against it after 50 years France abolished slavery

.

Everyone in this world has struggled for his rights and freedom and has made history.

History of Cricket

                                                              History of Cricket

Today, Cricket is the most famous game of the country everyone leaves everything and watches Cricket on television. This game has inspired many people but what makes Cricket so unique what makes Cricket so popular in the country.

The whole story starts from the 18^th century when the game of cricket was formed in England. That time this game was played as a stick and ball game. The bat was in the shape of an ice hockey stick and the ball was bowled underarm. The match was of 3 days and still ended in a draw. It is a unique game as it has no time limit the match was of 3 days and still ended in draw.

Finally in 1744 the first written law of cricket was made. In these rules there were two stumps, the length of game was three days and the field was specified to 22 yards. The game was played in public places of London. The first Cricket club was formed in Hambledon

Then in late 18^th century the rules of cricket were revised there were:-

1.       The first leg-before law was published

2.       Third stump became common and its length and the bails length was specified

3.       Running between wickets become legal

4.       The bat was changed to a straight

5.       The ball was thrown overarm

These rules changed the whole game of cricket.

Cricket on caste and religion:-

The most shocking fact of this game was that the cricket was played on the basis of caste and religion. In England there were two teams. One team who was rich and played the game for pleasure not for earning money was called amateurs (gentleman). That team who played it for earning money was called professionals. Only white people could play the game no black people were allowed to play the game.

Spread of Cricket:-

At that time Cricket was a colonial game so I could spread to the British colonies like West Indies and India. The other countries didn’t accept the game as it was a British colonial game and those countries were not the colonies of British.

Spread of cricket in India:-

When India was a colony of British, the British spread its games to India. The people of India were not allowed to play the game. The Cricket clubs in India were called Gymkhanas. The first club of India lead by the British was the Bombay Gymkhana.
