Subà poor sanitary condition 

Respected sir,

Through your esteemed newspaper I want to draw attention of concerned authorities towards problem of encroachment of footpaths. I am president of RWA – kailashpur and fighting with this problem for last two years.

This is the general problem of all colonies in the city. But we are facing it a bit extra. There are two nalas (open sewers) in our colony- One on the eastern border and another passing through middle of the colony. Most of the time these are choked and over- flown. One can feel bad smell in the air all the time.

As if it is not enough, there is a MCD ‘garden’ in our colony which is turning into garbage dumping ground. Garbage from nearby colonies is also collected here. This garbage spreads on the roads by carrying vehicles. During rainy season this becomes a real hell. An epidemic can break anytime. This is the shear carelessness of the municipal corporation.

Sweepers gather on road-crossings to gossip. It seems that they are not answerable to anyone. It is the wastage of manpower and government machinery. 

We have written many letters to the concerned department but in vain. All our requests are falling on deaf ears. You are our last ray of hope. I expect that you will understand the gravity of the problem. Kindly provide some space in your newspaper.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely

Sohan Singh

Subà poor law and order condition 

Respected sir,

Through your esteemed newspaper I want to draw attention of concerned authorities towards problem of encroachment of footpaths. I am president of RWA – kailashpur and fighting with this problem for last two years.

A society can not prosper without secure and fearless environment. It is the responsibility of police to create such environment. But in our locality it seems that police has joined hand with law-breakers. Incidents of theft are increasing day by day. Chain snatching is common. We are not safe even inside homes. Last week a gang robbed a jeweler in full day light.

This condition is further deteriorated by two wine shops- one in the market and another near bus stand. These shops are hub of anti-social elements. We cannot go outside after sunset. Women are facing many threats. Atmosphere is not safe. We don’t know what impression it is imprinting on the innocent minds of our children.

We have written many letters to the concerned department but in vain. All our requests are falling on deaf ears. You are our last ray of hope. I expect that you will understand the gravity of the problem. Kindly provide some space in your newspaper.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely

Subà Encroachment of footpath.

Respected sir,

Through your esteemed newspaper I want to draw attention of concerned authorities towards problem of encroachment of footpaths. I am president of RWA – kailashpur and fighting with this problem for last two years.

This problem is growing rapidly in all parts of the city. One can see vendors and hawkers on footpaths especially near metro stations, bus stands and market areas. This compels the pedestrians to move on the roads. Roads are already congested. During office hours this creates a big problem. It slows down the speed of traffic and sometimes causes jams .Many accidents also happen due to this.

There are many reports that these encroaches bribe the beat constable and employees of Municipal Corporation. In market areas they also pay shop owners to lay their articles in front of shops. This nexus makes them fearless. But main sufferer is the common man, who can’t fight with them.

We have written many letters to the concerned department but in vain. All our requests are falling on deaf ears. You are our last ray of hope. I expect that you will understand the gravity of the problem. Kindly provide some space in your newspaper.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely

Sohan Singh

MY HOBBY-- NET SURFING

          All successful people have hobbies. Hobbies play very important part in our life. Any activity that engage our attention, refresh our mind, entertain us and fill our non-creative hours is called hobby. My hobby is net surfing. I love to discover new websites on various subjects. I keep a record of websites in my dairy. Internet is a reservoir of information. It provides good food for mind. We can expand our knowledge in interested areas and we can also increase our areas of interest. Whenever I find time, I do net surfing. Whole world seems accessible. Every knowledge is just a click away. I want to turn my hobby into my profession by fining new avenues of earning on the internet.

           Many students performed on the stage. Most of the programs were inspired by our culture, moral education, films, and nationalism. This added the all new height to the function.

Finally Mr. Sharma ended the program with his thanks speech.

Exercise for students

             We must do exercise to keep our body and mind fit. As a student one has to acquire lots of new knowledge on variety of subjects daily. This needs physical and mental soundness. Only a healthy body contains healthy mind. We can join gym, do yoga, walking, jogging or swimming. By doing exercise our heart beat increases and body temperature goes up. This cleanses the body and relaxes the mind. It also reduces our stress. Exercise increases our efficiency in all works and reduces our chances of falling ill. It improves our immunity. It also improves many mental capabilities like concentration, penetration, memorizing and recalling. So, exercise is the must for students.

We are committed for quality. So, in this atmosphere of inflation we are compelled to increase membership fees by 25% and book rental charges by 20% w.e.f . first day of the next month. I hope you’ll bear with us. Secretary Mahatma Gandhi library.

Refresh and Refocus the mind.

One day I was alone at home. My parents were out for a marriage party. I also love parties, but next day it was my exam and I was preparing for it. So I have to stay back.

It was about 8 pm. I was studying on the table for almost two long hours. I was tired. I was studying forcefully. But nothing was going in. My head was aching. I was feeling stress.

Suddenly my sight fell on the clock on the wall in front of me. It was ticking. I focused on the second-hand. It was moving like a soldier – tick-tick-tick.

            I closed my book and lied on the sofa. It was very comfortable. I took a deep breath. It seems as if air was passing through my head right at the place where I was feeling stress. It was cool. I breathed deeply once more. Same feelings again. It was great. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on my breath. With every inhale, fresh air entered into the head and sucked the stress out with every exhale. After some breaths I felt very light and fresh. My mind was very calm. I opened eyes. Clock was ticking. Second-hand was moving -  thung-thung-thung. This time sound was louder and clearer. It has engaged all my attention. I could see the second-hand moving slowly. When it struck – thung , I felt a bang in my heart. I started enjoying the rhythm. Slowly I closed eyes. I didn’t know when I fell asleep.

When I awoke, it was 8:30pm. I was feeling very warm and fresh. Mind was quite focused. It was time to study. I got up and go to my table. I was very happy as I had discovered a method to refresh and refocus the mind.
