Unforgettable Moments in My Life
There had been many unforgettable moments in my
life. I would like to mention one of these.
Once I was traveling from Karachi to Lahore by
train. I was in first class, so there were only few passengers, with me. At a
particular station, they all got off. Now I was completely alone in the
compartment.
After sometime, a smart lady entered the
compartment and sat next to me. She had a very clever plan to rob me. She said
to me that if I did not hand over all the money to her which I had, she would
complain to the railway police that I had robbed her. When I heard this
dreadful speech I was completely and absolutely pass puzzled. I hit a plan to
save myself from the wicked plan of that lady. I therefore pretended that I was
a deaf and a dumb fellow and requested to write in a piece of page what she
wanted to say. She gladly wrote her demand on the piece of paper and handed it
to me. I change my seat and took the piece of writing. The railway police come
and asked as what the matter was. The women as clever as she was burst into
admits so she told that I had robber her of a thousand rupees. At first he
seemed to believe in her story, but when I gave the piece of writing to the
police, the women turned pale. She was caught red-handed and this way I saved
from her wicked plan.
Pakistan As You See in the 21st Century
When the Muslims of India demanded a separate
homeland for themselves, many people thought that the establishment of Pakistan
was impossible. But Pakistan did come into being. It has not only survived many
difficulties but has also made great progress in every field. Its survival and
development have surprised all.
We would like to see Pakistan at its best in
21st century, in the past years we enabled and demoralize.
Unfortunately, Pakistan has not been politically
very stable. But there is no need for despair. The people Pakistan agree on
fundamental issues and priorities.
In the economic field, hopes must be brighter.
In 1947, we were a poor agricultural country growing a few crops. Very soon our
country began to be industrialized. Its dependence on agriculture would be
lessened.
Pakistan has taken a very short period in
becoming a semi-industrial country. This fact gives us the hope that there
would be even faster development in the coming years. We have step in computer
world and the other modern technology and expected that in 21st century the
computer will be the part of every department even the advancement is expected
because the new coming generation is comparatively more intelligent than
before. The modern schools and institutions are preparing the staff better than
the before. We have already entered in manufacturing of many modern electronic
equipment in future like in 21st century Insha Allah Pakistan will send
settelite in space. Pakistani scientist will conquer the space. As the Allama
Iqbal saying there is more world after the stars.
All these hopes are not just wild dreams. They
have a solid foundations. They are founded on the fact that people of Pakistan
are intensely devoted to their country. They want to make it a great country
and for this, they are ready to make every effort and sacrifice. Moreover, they
are true Muslims with firm faith in Allah.
Importance of Science As a Subject in Curriculum
The nature has many secrets buried in it. It is
the science which has scratched the mask from the face of nature. Science has
always helped the man in every chamber of life. The importance of science as a
subject in school curriculum can be understood from the fact that science acts
as a pillar in the man's knowledge and when the youths are provided with this
pillar from the very beginning, they are sure to be successful. Through this
subject students are able to know the process going on in nature. The
understanding of science gives the students the actual concept of phenomenon
that is what is going on behind a particular process. The students can make a
great increment in their knowledge by having a deep study on science, so that
they are able to know the general activities.
Hence the science is a very useful guide which
introduces the students with the techniques of nature.
A Picnic
We were given a special holiday after our annual
prize distribution. So me and my friends made a programme and set out
accordingly for the picnic at the beach in the morning. We reached there at 9'O
clock. We unpacked our things in a hut. My friends wanted to go for boating so
we hired a boat to carry us to the island of Manora. We decided to do fishing
so we all started with great hopes but only a small quantity of fish was
caught. We reached the island after enjoying ourselves on the sea. We cooked
the fish and enjoyed a grand lunch. In the evening we had tea and spent a good
time till the sunset.
We waded in water. Waves after waves were coming
and passing us finally splashing on land. We also rode the horses and camels,
it was very exciting.
The scene of the setting sun was really superb.
As the sun sank we packed our things and after few minutes were back with the
memories of the whole day to cur heart' desire.
Importance of Trees
Trees and plants are living things. They grow
form seed and after a training maturity they die. Trees are of significant
importance for us. We cannot under estimate their value in our surroundings.
Trees adorn our surroundings. They produce oxygen without which we cannot live.
They are source of fruits and cereals for us. Trees provide us wood which we
use in building houses and furniture. Wood of trees is used as fuel. They play
vital role in changing climate of a region. Many useful medicines are prepared
from herb and plants for removing our ailments. Trees are a bounty for us and
we should grow them where ever we can.
Life in a Big City
"God
made country Men made the town."
Pakistan is a land of diverse beauty with 70% of
her population living in villages spread all over the land and the rest live in
cities and towns.
Life in city is very fast and busy one. Take
life of people in big cities like Karachi, Lahore, Rawal Pindi or Peshawar. It
is of course, not free from tension, worries and problems. The main problems
are urbanization, housing, transport, shortage of water and pollution. People
living in big cities do not get pure food like milk, butter, cheese and curd.
They gets stale vegetables to eat. Another deadly and frightening problem that
has recently waled freely into big cities is terrorism. This problem hassShaken
the mind and disturbed the peace of every citizen.
People living in big cities are generally
selfish and self centered. They do not fellow feelings in them. The population
is divided into classes the rich, middle class and the poor.
Although there are better opportunities and
scope for education, health and jobs in a big city but as a whole life in a big
city is full of hazards, problems, corruption and crimes.
My Favourite Hobby
A hobby can be almost anything a person like to
do in his spare time. Because the "Idle
Mind is Devil's workshop" therefore those who have developed a hobby never
need to worry about what to do with their newly founded leisure hours.
Every person in the world has a hobby of his
own. There are many kinds of hobbies such as gardening, stamp collecting,
hiking, coin collecting, photography, listening to music and so forth. Girls to
pursue some hobbies. Their hobbies differ from those of the boys. Girls mostly
like hobbies such as cooking, stitching dresses, painting and listening to
music.
Among all the hobbies mentioned above I like
painting. It is a subtle hobby. Whenever I get time I sit down with my paint
box, canvas, brushes and paint beautiful landscape. My hobby does not infringe
on the rights of other people. It is not a noisy hobby like music. I can also
earn money by selling my paintings to lover of fine arts. My hobby fills my
heart with joy and colours and there it is my favourite hobby.
Sir Wilham Osler said:
"No
man is really happy or safe without a hobby."
Health
is Wealth
No one can deny the fact that healthy man live
happily. Money or wealth cannot give a person all the happiness of life as
health can. A person may have wealth, cars, servants at his service and a big
house to life in cannot enjoy all these blessings without a good health. Where
as a person with small income, with no servant for work and small house to live
in but a healthy body enjoy a fuller life in the world.
For good health and for looking younger and
living longer one must follow few good principles of life. To remain healthy we
should eat balance diet. Take little exercise everyday. Let not worries crowd
our mind and shake our nervous system. We should not allow ill thoughts bring
agony to our mind. We should live in clear and neat surrounding. We must become
early risers and never go to bed very late.
Good health is a precious thing and every step
must be taken to guard it. Early to bed early to rise makes all men healthy,
wealthy and wise.
My Aim in Life
Every one has an aim in life but those who do
not have are dull souls and they curse their life for all time. In other words
we can say a person without an aim in life is like a car without a driver.
People have different aims in life. Some aspire to become rich, some like to
become doctor, engineers, business men, executives in a big company, banker,
lawyer, musician, artist and so forth.
I desire to lead a life different from others. I
don't crave fro wealth not like to serve people as doctor or like who say that
they want to become a teacher and spread light and knowledge.
My ambition in life may sound odd to you. I like
to become a comedian. It is not an easy task to become a comedian. Only one
person out of million can become a good comedian. People in our country
belonging to different class and age live a very depressed life. All have
problems and they give me a gloomy look. I I can become a comedian and make my
people cheerful or bring some happy moments in their sad life. i think I would
have really rendered great service to my nation. After Lehri, we have two such
people like Moen Akhter and Omer Sharif in our country who made sad people's
life cheerful. I always dream to become a great comedian and pray to God to
help me fulfill my goal in life.
A Street Accident
I read about road accidents in newspaper every
day. They bring agony to our mind and also to the relatives of victims, but
till the day I had not seen an accident with my own eyes. By God what a
terrible sight it was!
It was in the short hour of one evening I was
going along Burns Road to buy a pen for my examination which was going to
commence next week. At Denso Hall I was waiting for the traffic to clear off so
that I could safely cross the road. A bus was lso running along the road and it
was trying to overtake a private car a head of it. All of a sudden driver lost
the control of steering and rammed against a horse carriage. The driver of the
hackney carriage fell down and the bus crushed him. The passengers in the
hackney carriage escaped death with some injuries. The horse was also badly
wounded and it was looking for his master. The injured were rushed immediately
to a nearby hospital.
People gathered at the scene of accident. Some
showing sympathy for the victim, some abusing the bus driver and some advising
others to be very careful while on a road.
I left the scene with a sorrowful heart for the
driver of the carriage who unfortunately lost his life in that accident.
Responsibilities of a Good Student
Students are the future hopes of any country.
Much development and progress of the country depends upon them. Students are
the backbone of a nation.
There are many responsibilities of a good
student. The major one is that he/she should take keen interest in his/her
studies. Moreover good student should also take part in games as "All work
and no paly make Jack a dull boy." Besides this student should also take
part in the scout activities so as to help other fellow students.
A good student should also make effort to
develop the sense of responsibility in other fellow mates. He/She should also
try to keep his/her locality clean.
A good student should be loyal and obedient to
the teachers because "Obedience is the key to the door of success."
A good student must know the true meaning of
trust, self esteem, obedience and confidence. MOreover a good student should
always keep away from the politics of big power.
Computer a Curse or Blessing
Computer is a modern and best invention in the
world. As the time goes on computer goes on developing. computer is used in
industries, offices, schools and research work. We can get all information
through the Internet. Today computers are found every where.
Here are the few examples of areas in which
computers are used. computer helps in offices to store all kind of information
and we take back information from its memory as we require. Computer makes
calculations of all sorts, prepare business letters and books. Computer is used
in billing departments. Airlines and Railways use computer Technology in making
tickets for the passenger, keeping and updating the departure and arrival
timings of planes and trains.
Computers are being used to conduct lessons for
all subject, students are learning through computers by reading as well as
seeing diagrams on screen. Computer are helping the doctors to detect disease
and keep information about patient.
Everything has its advantages as well as
disadvantages. The workers which works in factories and industries are no more
needed because of automatic processing and work in these factories and
industries thus creating deficiencies in job opportunities
