Life is very interesting and wonderful. There are numberless beautiful and attractive things. They make life interesting, meaningful and attractive. But there are many things also which are ugly and annoying. Thus, life is a mixed affair. It is full of sweet, enjoyable and beautiful things. At the same time there are sufferings, diseases, troubles and tears. There are many things I like and many others which I dislike and hate. The five things I like most are as under:
I love reading. It is my hobby. I have a good collection of books. But I like short novels, story books, biographies and books on nature. They give me great delight. I enjoy their company and feel they are my best friends. They increase my knowledge and skills of language. I never fell sad, lonely or bored because of them.
The next thing I like most is nature-study. I love nature from the core of my heart. Nature is so rich in variety, beauty and interest. I often sit in our small garden and observe nature. The twittering of birds, the flight of butterflies, the rustling of the leaves, the fragrance and colour of flowers; the squirrels so playful, the deep blue sky, the glorious sunrise and sun-set etc., cast a spell on me. I feel part of the nature. I also go for a walk in the early morning in the nearby park and enjoy nature there. Last year I went to Nainital, and enjoyed myself amidst nature to the full. Nature inspires me with hope, courage, and dedication to work. I also love watching the stars at night. They are too far and yet so close to my heart.
The third thing I like most is talking with friends. I have some very good friends. We are intimate with one another. In spare time we collect at a common place and enjoy talking. We discuss many things, tell stories, anecdotes and have a lot of books, reading, nature-study, human nature, news and films. The exchange of ideas, views and news help us a lot in increasing our knowledge.
The fourth thing I love most is the children. I play with them whenever I have an opportunity. The little children with their very innocent and beautiful faces are most attractive things on the earth. In the neighborhood there are many children. Sometimes, I play with them, tell them fairy tales and recite rhymes. It also pleases me to watch them play. Their small activities are so wonderful and interesting. It pains me a lot when I see a child in trouble or weeping.
The last but not the least, I love eating sweets. I have a sweet tooth. Milk sweets are my favorite. I also like chocolates and toffees. I keep them in my pockets and also distribute them among friends and children. My mother prepares special sweet dishes for me. There is hardly a day when there are no sweets in the house. I think I have inherited this habit. My father also loves sweets so much. But my mother prefers napkins and snacks. In winter it gives me much delight to eat peanuts with jiggery. In summer I often like to enjoy sugar-candy and ice creams of quality. But I am conscious of my habit and never allow it to overpower me. I can do even without them.

Reading is my hobby and I have a good collection of some valuable books. I also read magazines. I borrow books from friends and libraries as well. I have enjoyed reading many kinds of books, but the Ramayana of Valmiki is my favourite book. The original Ramayana is in Sanskrit. I have a Hindi translation. It was presented to me by my father on my 10th birthday with some other gifts. Since then I have read the book many times over.
Every time I read Ramayana, I find a new meaning. Really it is a gold mine in morals and practical wisdom. It is an epic poem and deals with the life of Rama and Sita. Rama is the prince of Ayodhya. His charater, conduct and work inspire millions and millions of people in India and abroad. He is ideal son, prince, brother, husband, friend, king and ruler. He is exceptionally brave, gentle, attractive and friendly to all. His mission is to help the weak, the poor and the humble. He punishes the wicked and evil persons like Ravana, Kummbhkarna, Meghanad and others. His victory over Ravana symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.
The famous festival Dussehra is celebrated in the memory of Rama?s Victory over Ravana, the demon King of Lanka. Ravana had abducted Sita and refused to return her. Rama tried his best or make Ravana see reason. But evil ? minded Ravana was too proud to understand reason. Therefore, war became necessity and Ravana was defeated and killed with his while tribe.
Rama befriended with such humble and forest beings as monkeys, bears and Vultures. He also forged friendship with low caste people like fishermen, boatmen and tribals. He protected the rishis, hermits and ascetics from the tyranny of Rakshasas. Mahtma Gandhi was so much influenced by the Ramayana that he wanted to have Rama ? rajya in India. Rama, as a king, was famous for his high sense of justice and equality. Perfect peace and harmony prevailed in his kingdom. People were honest, truthful and religious by nature. They were all, men and women of high and strong character and morals.
Personally, Ramayana has somany lessons to teach me. It teaches me to be brave, humble, honest, thankful and a lad of strong moral character. In inspires me to have a strong sense of duty and fair play. It teaches me how to be respectful towards parents, teachers and elders. Bharat and Lakshman are ideal brothers, Sugriva and ideal Indian woman, on ideal to be followed by each and every woman. Our politicians and political leaders should take lesions from the life of Raja Rama and serve the country in the true spirit of service and devotion.
The Ramayana is masterpiece of literature. The story is of eternal interest and the narration fascinating. The epic is popular all over the world. It has been translated in all the principal languages of the world.
Many of the evils of our present day life can be removed by the study of this epic. It offers solutions to so many of our problems. It is an epic not only of the Hindus, but of the entire humanity. It has influenced me deeply. I treat it a s my best friend. I remember the story and its incident by heart. Really, it is my favourite book.

A andB.Ed. she has master or post graduate degrees both in Hindi and Sanskrit. She is gentle, polite, soft spoken and yet strict in discipline. But she never believes in physical punishment. I have never seen her reprimanding a student publically or giving physical punishment. It looks as if she a magic influence on all of us. And hence there has never been any serious discipline problem in the class.
She has teaching in her blood. Before partition her father was lecturer in Lahore and her mother a school teacher there. She was born in free Indian after partition. She has perfect command over Hindi and Sanskrit. Her knowledge of English language and literature is very good. Her pronunciation is perfect, accurate and very clear. I feel fortunate to be her student so do feel other students. She looks upon us as her own sons and daughters. She takes interest in solving our school and personal problems.

She makes a good use of them to make teaching and learning effective and memorable. She is likes sensible and appropriate humour. Her talks are educative, interesting and full of literary references and anecdotes. Many of the teacher feel envious of her and her popularity among students.
She is also the principal advisor of our school song and drama club. She also prepares students for Hindi debate and elocution contents. Under her able guidance many students have won a number of prices and trophies in such competition. She herself has won national award for excellent teaching and results. She is an asset to the school and student community.
Once we went to a visit to the Tajmahal . we were surprised to know her vast and authentic knowledge about the Tajmahal. She explained so many things about the monument in detail. The visit became so memorable only the because of her. Her vast general knowledge shows her deep studies, interest and devotion of books. Reading is her only hobby. She has her own personal library at home. It consists of choicest and valuable books in Sanskrit. Hindi and English. There are books on her other subjects as well. She guides us in selection of the books and of good inspires us to spend part of our pocket money on the purchase of good books. We went last year with her to visit the world book fair. It became a memorable experience.
She is equally popular among girl and boy students. She takes keen interest in the welfare and progress of her students. She is always available for guidance, help and advice in matters of studies and personal problems. It is because of her that I feel that teachers are really nations builders. I wish there were many more teachers like her. Mrs. Taneja has influenced me most and many other students as well. One day a gentleman came in the school to see her. He was young and very smartly dressed. He straight way went down touched her feet seeking her blessings. He had been her student and was selected in IAS, recently.

This is the age of much competition. Life is now really complex. Things are moving fast. There are a great variety of careers and professions. It makes the matters worse. One feels confused and bewildered in choosing a right career. The lack or proper counseling and guidance worsens the situation. The young students find themselves groping in the dark. As a result of all these there is much unemployment and frustration. It also means lot of waste of money, time and energy.

Young people are ambitious, impatient and eager to achieve, good positions. They want to become IAS, executives and have top positions without considering their qualifications, skill etc. This is a wrong attitude. One should be realistic.

Choice of a career is not simply a matter of likes and dislikes. Financial resources play a very important role in deciding to choose a profession. For lack of funds, one will have to choose a far humbler career. Change of a career admist the stream may prove risky. It is no wise to change careers now and then. Therefore, select your career carefully and wisely. Once decided, stick to your decision. Use all your energy and resources to obtain you aim.

If you have aptitude for books, reading, quiet life and studies, you should choose teaching. It is a noble profession. You can them become a teacher, lecturer or a professor. If you have enough money and resources and want to grow rich, you can choose business as you career.
Once you have chosen your career, it is not possible to retrace your steps. If you do, you are a great looser. While choosing a profession, you stand at a cross ? road. Once a choice is made, there is no escape. Therefore, be practical, logical and reasonable in choosing your profession. This is a crucial choice. Take into consideration your liking, resources, qualifications etc. before deciding the course of your future life.

It is natural that people have deep love, respect and support for their country. This feeling gives rise for patriotism.
Nationalism and patriotism are two sides of the same coin. Loyalty to one?s country is one of the strongest human sentiments. Patriots are the real strength of a country. On the other hand, traitors are a source of great danger. They are like wolves in sheep’s skin. They never hesitate to betray their country for personal gains. They can be called ?Jaichands?. A country has to guard itself against such elements.
An intense love and patriotism of the citizens make a geographical region a nation. The citizens are always ready to make sacrifices for their country. In face of a danger all the citizens rise as one man and face it bravely. They regard no sacrifice great for their beloved country.
India has produced so many great patriots and freedom fighters. Chandra Shekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Rani Lakshmi Bai and many others sacrified their lives for the sakes of their beloved India. Some other great leaders and patriots are Balgangadhar Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawahar lal Nehru, Sarder Patel, Subhash Chandra Bose, Maulana Azad and Chittranjan Das. Their sacrifices are written in golden words in the history of India. We should draw lessons and inspiration from them. The young men and women Should follow their examples.
Patriotism is essential for the progress and prosperity of a country. They are a must both in peace and war. India is full of millions and millions of patriots. They are ready to lay their life for the country. They are the real source of India?s strength and wealth. But they are a few traitors as well. They act against the interests of the country. They pass on secrets to Pakisthan and other hostile neighbors. They explode bombs, spread violence and create trouble. Such people should be exposed and brought to justice. They are a great danger. India has to be vigilant against them. Tax-evaders, black marketers, profiters and corrupt officials are also not patriots. They are disgrace for our country. They serve their selfish interests at the cost of the country. Patritism is the foundation of a country.
Faithfulness to one?s country is a great virtue. It should be taught and developed in the youth. It means deep interest in the development of the country. There are many occasions to show one?s patriotism. But the best occasion is during times of crisis. The common man?s patriotism can be seen in his labour. Honesty, sincerity and proper discharge of his duties.
But patriotism should not be narrow and blind. We should also respect the rights and privileges of other countries. That is why it is said that ?Patriotism is not enough?. Extreme and blind patriotism can lead to war, disorder and disturbances. Nationalism should not go against internationalism and universal brotherhood. In this age of rapid scientific developments, the world is becoming a global village. The nations of the world are coming closer to one another. Patriotism should merge into internationalism. Now, no country can live in isolation. World cooperation and friendship is a must now. All men are equal and essentially one.
