A rainy day


One day I was returning from the school. When I was about 1 Km away from my house, it started raining. I had no umbrella. I stood under a shed in front of a shop. Half an hour passed. Rain became heavier. Street was full of water now.  I could not stand like this forever. So I decided to go in rain. I drenched completely. Some children were playing with paper boats. I also joined them. I forgot everything. Suddenly I saw my mother was coming with an umbrella. She scolded me. But I was happy. I can’t forget that day.

A morning walk


Morning walk is good for health. I daily go for morning walk. I get up at 5am. I go to the park near my house. First of all I do jogging and complete two rounds of the park. After this warm up I either do yoga or play volleyball with my friends. Morning air is always refreshing. I love the chirping of the birds, coolness of the breeze and calmness in the atmosphere. This prepares me for the whole day.

Last Sunday I went to see Tajmahal. I went with my friend. We went by train. We reached there at 10 am.  There was a long Queue for tickets. We stood in the queue. Our Turn came after one hour. We went inside. There was much crowd. Tajmahal was looking very grand. It was built by Mugal emperor Shahjahan in the sweet memory of his queen Mumtaz mahal. It’s a symbol of love and considered one of the wonders of the world. I touched it. It was very smooth and cool. There were beautiful crafted panels depicting flowers, leafs etc. We sat in the back side of Taj. Yamuna river was flowing nearby. I felt like heaven. We stayed there for sometime. Then we took some snaps. We spent the whole day there. We were tired. We came back by the night train. Memory of that day is still fresh in my mind.

Corruption is a virus eating on our roots. It has many forms like bride, favor, adulteration, non performance of duty etc. It has many reasons for spreading universally. The main reason is greed. Most of the big corruption cases involve rich people. Other reasons are inflation, poverty and corrupt system. A society cannot grow with corrupt practices. We must get rid of it. Government should make strict laws against it. Public awareness should be increased. Recently Anna hazare led a movement for strong lokpal bill. Public came out in large number in his support. Now Corruption is a hot issue in Indian politics. It is high time to uproot this menace from our society.
