Opinion on School Attendance

 
When it comes to classes attendance, should it be optional or mandatory for students? as far as I am concerned, I totally fall in line with the statement that suggests that "students should go to classes forcibly".

First of all, compulsory attendance to classes helps students work more effectively. Teachers' lectures usually have synthesized and well-organized information contained in several deemed obligatory textbooks, so students can save a lot of time and energy discriminating information in the textbooks. The students can also solve their doubts promptly, since they can turn to the teachers for help immediately in class. on the contrary, the students would lose their chances to resolve their problem when missing classes.

In addition, students are able to develop their team-work skills in the sake of mandatory attendance to classes. Group assignment is often an necessary part of a class, which aims to provide group members the opportunity to work mutually in a team. Only having students attend classes compulsorily can guarantee all the students take part in the group assignment.


Last but not least, from an economic point of view, if classes attendance were optional, many university resources would be wasted. It is to say that teachers' wages, maintenance of building, class equipment, and the like, have to be paid, no matter what the level of attendance is.


In a nutshell, bearing all the above mentioned in mind, it is further preferable for students to attend classes compulsorily. And I strongly believe that schools should make classes attendance mandatory in order to realize a better education achievement

Superstitious people and their thinkings


When men's reasoning power fails to investigate, superstitions begin. In the ancient times man's knowledge of himself and his surrounding was limited. So he used to believe in a number of super­stitions. With the development of science superstitions started dis­appearing. Science has dissolved superstitions. Still some of the superstitions stick to us and even if we try we cannot forget them. In the past people used to believe that when comets are seen the kings have to suffer. When Julius Caesar was murdered there was a wild thunder storm. Similarly, people used to believe many other superstitions. Even today English people are considered to be the most superstitious people of the world. In India also some supersti­tions are well known.

While lying in my bed, reading a novel and wandering in the world of imagination if I hear the weeping of a dog I f eel a shudder down my spine. In fact it is a bad sign. People in India think that if a dog wails it is a sign of some approaching death.

Similarly, while going on an important errand, if some cat crosses the road one does not go. It is considered to be a bad omen. So is the case with sneezing. It is believed that sneezing and crossing of the cat bring bad luck.

The hooting of the owl predicts some evil happening. Owl is the bird of night and as such it is not favored by the astrologers and others.
Another superstition which is nursed by the people is that one should not meet a Brahmin community person while going for some work. They also say that if at this time the person comes across a dead body, it is a good sign. It is difficult to reason out the superstitions.

Another superstition of the English people is that if a person dies because of drawing some spirits lament for him. In the same manner where a death is to occur some of the ghost or shadows start visiting that house.

In fact many crimes are committed because of superstitions. It is because of superstitious belief that human sacrifices are made. They also think that whenever the ghosts become angry, it is neces­sary to please them. Superstitions can be finished only if we develop scientific temperament. But superstitions have their own romantic charm even in this world of science. Even many scientists act by taking superstitions into consideration.

Summer is the best season

There are four seasons and I agree summer is the best of all  the seasons. Summer is favourite season in people's point of views who lives in western world. Summer is the warmest of all four seasons, between spring and autumn. In summer, the days becomes long and the nights becomes short. People can work more and be out for long if they have to work for long hours.

People like going out and enjoy nature, that can be happen only in summer. Summer is the best enjoying time. Everybody waits for summer for months. People they plan for summer in advance to do their  major work done.

In summer we would not have fear of snow, hurricanes, tornadoes, heavy rainfall, we do not need of heaters on at home. We do not have to wear woollen clothes or warm jackets.

We can play outdoor games in summer. We can go for horse riding and can take a rid on our motor bike. We can go for boating, hiking, barbecues, picnics, playing frisbee, flip flops. We can see the brillaint sunset. We can have soft drinks and lot of water.

So, it is concluded that summer is the best season of all seasons, in that we do lots of activities compare to other seaons.

THE INVENTION OF CELL PHONE CHANGES THE LIFE

It is undeniable that the technology behind the cell phone is one of the greatest inventions. Cell phones have changed the world of communications. People are woken up by a cell phones everyday. Cell phone became an important element of our life. After Food, Clothes, Shelter, now Cell Phone. 
The cell phone has brought many advantages to our culture, it may also have contributed to an ncrease in risky behavior among people.

Man became addicted to cell phones in today's world. Without cell phone man is alone in this world. It's like living without connection and links with others. For two decades people have been getting rapid changes in their life. Before the cell phone we didn't find these changed habits in ourselves and now we became more dependant on Cell Phones. On the other side of

Before the invention of cell phones we had to spend more time on our work done. We had been waiting hours to communicate with others to whom we use to meet everyday. Even if we wanted to talk with our family members, we had been waiting for them to come back home and then we could speak to them or we needed to wait to call us from a landline phone. We could move from the place of our phone.

After invention of cell phone a mom can call her son anytime weather he is playing in ground, in school, at working place, living in different country. And activities like Banking, Bill paying, are able to do while we are travelling and  before cell phones we could not able to do quick communication with others.

The difference between US and my Country

Geogrphically US and India are different countries. US is big country and has modern outlook and located in North America. Where as India  is also big country but not as big as US and it is the part of Asia. India is very ancient country and US has history about 300 years.

There is significant difference in population of both the countries. Population of India is about 120 millions compare to US population is about 30 millions. India has a thick density of population than US. Population play a important role in developments.

The people from India are more tradtional, conservtive, struggling, family oriented, than people from US as they are coming from old tribes and they have their tribes and own traditions.

People in US are well educated than people from India. The Government is the undertaking of education in all the places of US where as in India people in urban areas are educated but in rural areas they won't give much importance to education as in villages people involve in cultivation, and the government won't has clause for compulsory education for minors.

Based on Technological level US is much developed than India. India is not as developed as US in technology. and Now a days technology gettng used in India like US and people from India also being use to about technology.

And fewer things are common in both the countries like language, secularism, technology, security, but still we can find a big difference in all these areas.

Exciting and Thrilling Movement in Last Over of The Cricket Match


 

Cricket is a very famous game all over the world. When we talk about Australia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, England, South Africa,NewZealand, West Indies, if the game is played in the home country or in the home ground, people get more excited and enjoy the game. 

A well-deserved mention is of the semi-final of the Hero Cup held at Eden Gardens, Kolkatta, India on 24th November 1993. The match between India and South Africa turned out to be a nail-biter with Sachin Tendulkar snatching the ball from Azharuddin (c) and taking the daunting task in his own hands. With just six runs to get and two wickets in hand, it could have been anyone’s game. Captain Azharuddin, and his mates discussed on the ground who should bowl the last over. Ultimately Azharuddin gave ball to Sachin Tendulkar to bowl the last over. We did'nt know it's going to be a good decision or not.
Tendulkar started bowling the last over to South Africa's Mc Millan and ball was so close to Mc Millan and he sqaure cut the ball and ran fast and at the other end De viller ran faster and tried for a second and Mc Millan said no but De viller had already ran and De viller got run out, and still South Africa need 5 runs of 5 balls.

Donald, the new batsman, was not a specialist batsman and needed to score runs and save his wicket. Both the teams had equal chances of winning the game now. Tendulkar bowled the next bowl straight to the wicket keeper Yashpal Yadav. Donald tried to play the ball and he missed it. But no worries still South Africa had a good chance of winning the game.
Donald was trying to change the strike and give it to his mate Mc Millan who in good form. Tendulkar bowled the third ball and Donald played defense and straight back to bowler. One more ball wasted and the spectators were getting more excited with the heart breaking thriller game.
Tendulkar was coming to bowl his fourth ball and the I could hear nothing in ground as everybody was silent and waiting for one more dot ball to make the chances of winning the game for India. Tendulkar bowled some what wide and Donald was looking at the Umpire Steve Bucknor to call wide but Umpire said nothing. The crowd started whistling, shouting and thanks to Steve Bucknor.

Now except a couple of players all the players came in the circle and very close to the pitch as they didn't want to give a single run. A single can also make a difference in cricket game. Here the wicket keeper and bowler were discussing for the next ball's strategy. Tendulkar bowled the fifth ball and this time Donald hit the ball but straight to a fielder, but he took one single and strike changed.

The Last ball and South Africa needed 4 runs to win the match. The man Mc Millan had all the hopes for South Africa and Tendulkar was ready to finish the match and he bowled the final ball. Mc Millan tried to hit the ball but Tendulkar bowled inside the leg stump and Mc Millan could not get a chance to hit the ball. He missed it and Indians were enjoying the thriller match and going through to the Finals of Hero Cup.

Cricket is a game of win or loss and we should take it as just a game. But this kind of thriller makes me so excited. I always become more involved in the game when I see the heartbreaking movement in sports. I hope everybody enjoyed with this thriller.

HALLOWEEN

Halloween is the festival of hallows and the festival of dead and its celebrated every year on 31st October in all over the world. People decorate their houses with scary articles, like cobweb, bats, mummy, Pumpkin Mask, jack-o-lantern on the occasion of halloween festival.

kids plays on trick on treat , they go to house to house and say trick on treat and house owner give candy to kids.

people arrange parties on this days and go out and enjoys the whole night . It's a crowdy night .

FESTIVAL 1) EID UL FITR 2) EID UL ADHA

Eid is a Arabic word it means festival. There are two big festivals in Muslim culture 1) Eid ul Fitr and 2) Eid ul Adha. These two Eids  festivals we celebrated in two different Islamic Lunar months all around the world.

On the day of Eid people enjoy and express happiness and offer prayers in the form of group.....usually they gather in an Open land or in a Mosque and tonnes of people join together and pray in congregation and ask Allah ( The God ) for His blessing, forgiveness of all sins and ask for success in this life and hereafter that is good life. Also they ask for the true path to live in this life and get forgiveness for all sins and get destination that is heaven, which Muslims believe will bring success in this life and hereafter only if they lead this life on true path, never lie, never harm to others with their hand and with their tongue and believe uniformity in all human beings and are never proud on themself and we think God has blessed us with this quality and we are always thankful to our god and try to help others especially the poor, before all should have faith in the Oneness of God. So it is clear that Eid celebration is not only an expression of our happiness but also it express the spiritual happiness. After Eid prayers and meeting on the occasion of Eid , people hug eachother. Eid is the time to spread happiness, love and triumph thereby creating enthusiasm among all the family members.

EID UL FITR festival, is also called feast of breaking the fast. Ramadhan is the holy month of Muslims. Allah (The God) revealed the Holi Quran to Prophet Mohammad during this month.   Once the crescent moon is sighted, the Ramadhan month comes to an end and on the first day of Islamic lunar month Shawwal , it's now the time for celebrations for people of Muslim cultur. In the whole month of holy Ramadhan, Muslims keep fasting and from sunrise to sunset everyday they eats and drink nothing. Muslims believe, after almost 600 years of Prophet Jesus, the God sent Prophet Mohammad into this world to show the right path to human mankind to live in this world and believe in the oneness of God, Pray 5 times, keep fasting, do charity, go on pilgrimage. God makes the whole month of Ramadhan fasting is obligatory. After this He gives a fruitful end in name of festival Eid ul Fitr festival and it also called Ramadhan festival. On this holy occasion people give Charity to poor so that poor people also can celebrate the festival and wear new clothes and go for special Eid prayer ceremony near by mosque to thank God by reciting various prayers. After the prayer there is get together at Muslim's house for Eid meal, which has special dishes and variety of desserts. After that people go to their relatives and friends place and meet them and greet them Eid's happiness or Happy Eid.

EID UL ADHA festival, celebrated on the 10th day of last Islamic Lunar month, is also called  feast of the Sacrificed. The Eid ul Adha celebrates in the remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim's readiness to sacrifice his son Ismail to God as an act of submission to God's command and his son's acceptance to being sacrificed,   before God intervened to provide Prophet Ibrahim with a Sheep to sacrifice instead. On another occasion God ordered Prophet Ibrahim to leave his wife Hajira and son Ismail alone far away, He again sacrificed his love for his son and He left them far away with a huge amount of food grains but after sometime Mother and son had nothing left and then a infant was crying for thirst and dehydration. Miraculously god started one spring of water  from the earth at the feet of Ismail. This water never got stopped from that time and its name is ZAM ZAM water and it is believes to be Holy Water in Muslim culture. Later Prophet Ibrahim instructed by the God to build a Holy building in front of that Holy spring water well. It's name is Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. In the remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim's sacrifices, Muslims Celebrates Eil ul Adha. At the time of Eid ul Adha people go to Hajj Pilgrimage, and People give sacrifice of sheeps, cows, camels with the remembrance of the sacrifice given by the Prophet Ibrahim and followed and Obeyed what His God ordered. Muslims believe they obey the same God of Prophet Ibrahim who is very near to the God.

  KAABA

Religion plays a significant role in Muslim culture. Muslims believe in Oneness of God. Their concept of religion is Oneness of God. They celebrate festivals because of God's order. Muslim try to spend their live as per Gods wishes, Likewise in their Festivals Muslims remember their God and they celebrate Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha for the sake of God's mercy and heaven after death.
