A Portion of My Thoughts.....

In a world which is literally dominated and governed by technology, the importance of the study of science cannot be overemphasized. The impact of science on mankind is tremendous. It has turned what man at one point of time thought was unachievable into possibilities. There is hardly any sphere of human activity which science has not touched.  Fortunately, science has emerged victorious in getting rid of all the myths and superstitions that have been cramming our brains. Chemistry has been taught in some depth to us in seventh grade. A part of the chapter which explained chemical changes fascinated my mind. I was a bit puzzled at first as it was not easy to retain. There were lots of formulas and equations. But I began to enjoy it once I got the hang of it.  Science has never been an easy-to-remember subject for me. I was terrified of having three sub-sections in the subject- Biology, Chemistry and Physics which would be taught to me in the later years. But I found ou...

Today on the auspicious event of the Indian Independence Day, I would like to express my feelings towards this great country, India, my motherland. On this day, 69 years ago, India gave birth to freedom and the world gave rise to a new nation. An Independence Day; be it of any country, gives us an opportunity to relive those moments when our ancestors cheered wildly, for they were finally free!

True patriotism is when we recall the struggles and protests of our predecessors, the innumerable, immense and tragic sacrifices made by our freedom fighter...

It’s Friendship Day today. It’s a day when friends show that they really care for each other. That they will always be there for them, no matter what happens. Friendship is an emotion which cannot be expressed in words. This is the beauty of friendship. On this day, friends tie ‘friendship bands’ on each other’s wrists as a mark of their friendship. It is a gesture of their affection and concern. True friends can just look at each other and their words will be conveyed. Only a true friend can console another when nobody else can, understand the other’s feelings. A true friend will celebrate in his pal’s victories, give words of encouragement in his failures. There is not a trace of jealously in true friendship. It is a pure emotion which comes straight from the heart. There are many things which are spoken of only amongst friends. Friendship is a golden thread which bonds many people. When we look back upon the years, we will not remember our academic results but we will definitely r...
