Essay on A Visit to a Jumma Bazar

One Friday, I and my younger brother decided to go to the New Karachi Jumma Bazar as I wanted to buy some Australian Parrots. As we reached the juma bazar we were surprised to see the arrangement.

A large area of land was surrounded with 'Qanats'. Canopies were erected to make the area shady. The area was divided into different blocks for shops of different articles. There were blocks for general-merchandise shops, dry fruit shops, toy shops and others. People were busy in buying and selling things.

There was noise everywhere. At the vegetable and fruit shops we found that things were cheaper. But on close examination we found that the quality of vegetables and fruits was inferior. We came out of the block and went to see other blocks. Every where business was a rush.

In side the area fenced with 'qanats’ the shopkeepers were those who were permanent members of the Juma Bazar and had got their shopping place reserved. Out side the area there were non-member shopkeepers sitting on the ground and displaying their articles. There were cloth sellers, crockery sellers, shoes sellers, spoon and glass sellers etc. Thellas selling tea, burgers, sherbat, cold drinks and fruit juice were also there.

On one side there sat persons with liens and cocks. In a row there were persons selling parrots, pigeons, and other birds. They kept cages before them in which they kept the birds for sale. A few boys had brought only one pigeon in their hands to sell. There was a noise in the market as sale price was being discussed and fixed.

We tried to buy a few Australian parrots. With difficulty and after much discussion we agreed at a rate but when I put my hand in to the pocket it came out of the other end. Some expert pick pocket had cut open my inner pocket and had run away with my money. I told the fact to my younger brother and the seller. We had to return home on foot for we had no money to pay bus fare.

Essay on An Evening Walk

An Evening is a lovely part of a day. The sun goes down to the western horizon. Its heat abates and its dazzling brightness dims. Offices close for the day and people return home expecting worries free, and labour free hours of domestic repose, caress of loving children and their chatting.

My school is a double shifted one. I am the student of morning shift. At 5 o’clock in the evening I usually go for an evening walk. One day as I left my home, one of my cousins also met me in the way and willingly accompanied me. We walked up to the railway crossing and then took the track going along the railway lines. We passed by Liaquatabad railway station and after walking a few furlongs farther we turned to the left and walked along an other track.

Soon we saw a few men running around a field. Some persons were walking and talking. An old man with a Young boy of eight or nine years had also come for evening stroll. We soon left them behind. Then we came upon some people busy in flying kites. Other people and boys were standing around them looking at the kites.

The sun was now setting. It had lost its brightness and looked like a great ball of gold. The sky was crimson and the twilight looked lovely. Then the sun began to assume pink color, and finally it set.
Suddenly we heard a shriek. A very young boy was trembling and looking at a moving object. We looked at it and found it to be a snake creeping lazily away. One of the boys threw a stone at it which hit it on the back and injured it. It could move no farther but it raised its head and hissed. The boys began to hit it with stones. One hit it on the head and it came down. They continued to pelt it with stones till it died.

We then, walked on and took the path leading to (Haidry place). We reached Saifee polytechnic and from there took the street leading us to Paposh Nagar. In my evening walks I have never met an incident like this so I remember it to this day.

Essay on a Street Accident

Accidents in Karachi are frequent and most them are fatal. In this city life is very cheap. Nobody cares for the safety of others. The bus drivers, the taxi drivers and those who travel on motor cycles a ride scooters drive recklessly un-careful of the results. The long and time consuming court procedure and the bribery save these drivers and they continue to crush people to death.

One day I was waiting for a bus at Numaish. Suddenly, I saw two buses coming from Saddar. Both were of route 4A and were competing with each other, running speedily side by side. All of a sudden there was a big bang and the two buses over turned crushing a few motor cycles and a car with the occupants.

People stood stunned for a while and looked at the buses and then they rushed to take out the injured and the deeds. One of the buses was lying on the side it had the exits. It was too difficult to take People out of it. However a few lean and thin persons smashed the window glass and entered the bus through the It was difficult to bring the leads and the injured out. The injured persons were groaning or were un-conscious. The glass in front of the driver was smashed and the deeds and injured were taken on through the opening.

The road was closed. Dead bodies drenched in blood and the groaning injured men were laid on the road. Nobody could move art injured person without the permission of the Police. They arrived alter an hour. Mean while some persons who could have been saved with immediate medical attention had died of bleeding, shock or injury. A few persons who were still alive were rushed to Civil Hospital and Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.

The road, the buses and the crushed motor cycles and the cars were gory and red stained. Those on the motor cycles and in the car were all crushed to death. It was with difficulty that they were taken out hours after the accident. What a gloomy scene.

Essay on an Evening at Clifton Beach

English Essay on "An Evening at Clifton"


During my stay at Karachi, I had an occasion to go to Clifton, one evening. Clifton is one of the places of Karachi where thousand of pleasure loving people go daily and enjoy. He who does not have a car of his own, catches a Clifton bound bus at Saddar.

Children run, chase each other and enjoy. Hawkers and Theta walas sell Beetles, cigarettes, chats, mineral water, tea, other eatable things, balloons and other articles.

Camels and horses are brought by local residents. Children and even grown up boys and girls sit on them and enjoy short trips along the beach on them. Groups of people stroll along the beach talking, smiling or laughing.

I sat on the beach wall looking at the merry making people. It seemed that all cares, worries and worldly anxieties have left everyone it was thrilling to see children merry making. With the setting sun the shadows lengthened. The setting sun presented a lovely scene an the twilight made the western horizon colorful. The color, reflected in the water, looked so beautiful that I remained enchanted. With the coming of dusk, the people began to return one by one and soon the beach became deserted. I, too, climbed u the sloping beach and went to the play land.

The play land was flooding with light. Children sitting in small electricity driven cars were driving them. These cars collided with each other frequently. Some people were visiting the aquarium. I also went round the aquarium to look at the beautiful fish, I had never set eyes on before.

I also inserted a fifty paisa’s coin in the slit of a video game apparatus and peeped through the eyes glass. I saw deer, zebras and lions running fast. I was required to shoot them by pressing a button but I failed to shoot any. At last we were returned at my home.

Essay on A Picnic at a Sea Side

English Essay on "A Picnic at a Sea Side"

Last summer, when I was at Karachi, my uncle decided to go to Paradise Point for an outing (for picnic). We hired a bus for the entire day and reached there at 8 in the morning. We hired a hut there, took our breakfast consisting of toasts, Jam and tea and bought fresh water from some local resident at rupees ten a tin.

Then ‘I, with my cousins, went for a stroll along the shore. We collected shells of different types and colors. Some conches were also collected. We talked of waves, storm, ships whales and sharks. Waves after waves came and wetted our feet which were without shoes. We moved a few steps up the beach but the waves chased us. By and by it was full tide.

After the stroll we decided to bathe but uncle did not allows us. He told us that the sea was high and stormy and it was not advisable to bathe. Reluctantly, we sat on the sand by the hut and played ludo for some time. Tired of ludo, we again went for a stroll. We met some other boys who had also come form Karachi for picnic. We talked about our schools, house and other things and then we decided to play Kabbadi.

We played Kabbdi for an hour and then Went to our hut we were hungry. The lunch was delicious. After lunch we rested for an hour listening to music.

We decided to return and sat in the bus for the return journey.

Essay on A walk on the Beach

A Walk on the Beach

There are very few who don’t recognize the sights, sounds, and smells of one of the most visited places in history. Almost everyone has been there once in their lives, and even as small children, the experience never escapes. I have been fortunate to visit the beach numerous times, but one has stayed in my mind more than others. One most people have not had the chance to participate in.
Close your eyes and imagine a day at the beach. What do you see? Most would answer a sunny, hot, stuffed, but beautiful day. My experience is of a different kind. I woke up one morning during Spring Break in Gulf Shores, Alabama expecting the usual day. However, when I looked out my window, the sun was not shining and it was raining. Everyone was inside was watching television and my friend went shopping with her mom, so I seized the moment and suited up. I didn’t bring a lot of "cold gear" with me, but I did manage to find some wind pants and a sweatshirt.
Right away I was put in a place I hadn’t been before. I walked down the stairs that met the beach, and placed my feet in the sand. It was very cold. The sand was missing that mid-morning burn. This feeling that can be compared with walking on fire. In past years, I had to run for the water to save my feet from being scorched, but now I was wondering whether or not I should keep my shoes on. The beach was full of debris from the previous night’s storm, and I was walking on crushed shells and seaweed. It felt like walking on jelly as it squished in and out of my toes.
It was strange being on the beach and not having anyone out there with me. I remember walking down a strip of beach that was never so desolate. Looking left, I saw dozens of sand creations the rain had not been able to ruin yet. There were alligators, castles, mermaids, and many others.
When I looked right, I saw a different ocean than what had been there the previous three days. 

Essay On Village Life Essay On Village Uplift

Essay On Village Uplift Essay On Village Life 


Nobody can deny that with the growth of cities the villages have been considerably neglected. Ever since the light of Western civilisation came into our country we have been developing a craze for city life. Now-a-days the people are attracted to the cities for the comforts and luxuries of life which they cannot enjoy in their village homes. Under these circumstances we must try to improve our villages.

In the Punjab. Mr. F.L. Brayane was the first • official to think of village uplift. While acting as the Deputy Commissioner -of Gujrat, he studied villages at first hand, was grieved and shocked by the deplorable conditions obtaining in them.: and set about earnestly to reconstruct them.

First of all, he emphasises the value of education. According to him, ignorance, more than anything else, is responsible for the backwardness of the Pakistani peasant. Steeped in age-old ignorance, the peasant does not know his own interest. If he ignores the laws of health and sanitation, runs into enormous debts, or follows ancient methods of agriculture, it is because he lacks enlightenment. The remedy suggested is that primary education should be made compulsory for both boys and girls.

The second, the villager is content with passing his days in unhealthy surroundings. He does not care much if streets of village are dirty or if houses have no arrangement for fresh air. He allows dirty water to collect in pits and ponds situated about the village, with the result that they attract mosquitoes in and who spread malaria and trouble. Thus the villager is to be exhorted to keep his houses and streets clean by throwing the dung hills and rubbish into pits.

The third thing that a peasant is required to do is to improve his agriculture. Agriculture is the main profession of the industry in the village; and, of late, it has fallen into a rut. The peasants can .make it a paying profession by using scientific implements by importing bulls of excellent breed, by using better seeds, manures. and ploughs.

Lastly, the peasants are advised to shake off a number of social evils from which they suffer. It is seen that they spend money lavishly on marriages and births and are prone to be extravagant when they come by money. They are over fond of litigation. They commit murders over trifles; and resort to the court so often that they pay the best part of their income to the lawyers. The peasant, thus, is advised to get rid of all these evils.



There is no doubt that if the peasant acts upon these suggestions he is bound to prosper. He would be able to lead an infinitely better life, if he makes whole-hearted attempts to improve his home and his farm.

Essay On The Autobiography Of A Rupee

Essay On The Autobiography Of A Rupee.

I am coins of one rupee but this time I am very old and have been in circulation for many years. But I can still remember my early youth. My active life began when I was paid over the counter of a bank, along with other new rupees, to a gentleman who cashed a cheque. I went off jingling in his pocket; but I was not long there, as he gave me to a shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked pleased, and hanged me on the counter to see if I were genuine. The he threw me into a drawer.

There were lot of coins in the drawer. I soon found I was in mixed company. I took no notice of the greasy copper coins as I knew they were of very low caste. I was condescending to the small change, knowing that I was twice as valuable as the best of them the eight-anna pieces, and sixteen times better than the cheeky little annas. Also found number of rupees of my own rank, but. I was the most beautiful of all of them. Most had become old and ugly, So I felt proud of myself.

Some of the coins became jealous of my beautiful look and showed very rude behaviour with me.. But a very bold rupee was kind, and gave me good advice. He told me I must respect old rupees, and always keep the small change in their place. He summed 'Second day the drawer was opened and. I was given to a lady. She put me into her purse. But the purse had a hole in it and, as she walked along the street.

 I feel out and rolled into the gutter, where I lay for a long time. At last a dirty boy picked me up; and for some time I was in low company passing between poor people and petty shopkeepers in dirty little streets. But at last I got into good society, and most of my time I have been in the pockets and purses ,of the rich.

I enjoyed a lot with their company.I do not have much time to tell the adventures of my life. I


have lived an active life, and never rested long anywhere. Anyway. I have had a better life than a rupee I knew who spent all his time locked up in a miser's strong box. What a dull life!

Essay On Supermarkets/Marketplace

Essay On Supermarkets.

Supermarkets are increasingly becoming a feature of modern urban life. In design and service, they are a departure from the old- fashioned markets.Instead of a number of open walled sheds of concrete pillars supporting asbestos roofs, the physical side of the supermarkets consists of the ground floor of an ultra modern four or five-story building with glass walls in front. The comparison does not stop there.

In the old-fashioned markets, the housewife goes to one corner of one of the long sheds to buy pork; from there she moves to another part of another shed to buy beef; she may then cross over to the shed on the other side to buy vegetables, and then move on to another stall in the next shed to look for fish -- all sheds, of course, enclosed in the same fenced compound.

By the time a housewife finishes her Saturday marketing for a week she might have walked in and out of the sheds, and across the compound, a distance of nearly two furlongs. As she prepares to enter the fish stall, she may find the municipal worker washing the floor, pumping water through a hose and may have to move away so as not to get wet. On her way across to the work stall she may see a blind beggar asking for alms. Old- fashioned markets are also very noisy places.

In the supermarkets all types of merchandise are stored and arranged neatly on steel shelves and glass walled show cases under the same roof enclosed by glass walls. There is neatness and orderliness. As housewife can buy all the merchandise by walling along the counter, picking and choosing what she wants.

The pleasure and pain of bargaining cannot be experienced in the supermarkets. Prices are fixed and labelled. It is for the housewife to choose whether or not she wants to buy a particular foodstuff. When she buys, she does so on the terms laid down by the supermarkets. If she decides not to buy tomatoes at 40 cents per pound, she may not find a nearby rival vegetable dealer calling her attention to try out his tomatoes. From this point of view, supermarkets are organised to establish monopoly in business by stifling competition.

Efficiency and promptness in service are maintained at the expense of the customers.
The comparatively high price a housewife pays for merchandise bought from supermarkets is in one way justified as foodstuffs are stored under strictly hygienic conditions. It is true that the customer can get a wide variety of foodstuffs under the single roof of the supermarket; but freshness of meat, vegetables, fruit and fish is lost when they are preserved in refrigerators and in the vast stores behind the paste board walls.

Exactly when the clock at the tower chimes five, the glass-doors of the supermarkets are closed. No frantic hurry is seen to dispose of the remaining stock at reduced prices as one can witness in the old-fashioned markets. At night we can see the display of goods in the brightly lit supermarket through its glass walls. The next day the same foodstuffs which have lost their freshness are sold at the same fixed price.

In the old-fashioned markets, the stall holders bring the meat of freshly slaughtered pig, goat or cow. and fresh fish and vegetables. It is the daily demand that decides the stock of their merchandise; whereas the supermarkets specialise in bulk buying and large sales.



We live in an affluent world where the influence of commerce and business permeates practically every facet of man's life. Supermarkets are creations of the ingenuity of the world of commerce and business to satisfy the desire of the affluent part of society for sophistication in service and merchandise even in the, sphere of marketing.

Essay On The Pesticide Problems

Essay On The Pesticide Problems.

What is the pesticide problem? To put it simply, pesticides are sued to increase productivity in agriculture to meet the growing demands of the exploding population. One of the ways of increasing productivity is by controlling and destroying plant and animal pets that pose a great danger to agriculture. For this, pesticides, such as weed killers, insecticides, and rat killers, are used.

Very recently you might have read in local papers that a rare disease had affected the rubber trees of Pulau Langkawi and some other parts of Kedah. Had the disease been allowed to spread, it
would have destroyed millions of rubber trees and as a result our country's economy would have been very adversely affected. To prevent this the Rubber Research Institute of Malaya used some form of pesticide for aerial spraying over the affected area, thereby bring the disease under control.

This is only one instance of the great benefit we derive from the use of pesticides. Without doubt pesticides play a vital part in the agricultural and general economic development of a country. This is particularly so for the over-populated, underdeveloped agrarian countries of the world.

While laying great emphasis on the benefits that pesticides confer on agricultural production we tend to ignore its harmful effects. The magnitude of the harmful side-effects of pesticides is a matter of debate. Nevertheless, the fact that there are harmful side effects in the use of pesticides is conceded by all. A public debate on the use of pesticides is an urgent necessity. We are strengthened in this belief by the fact that in some countries like the United States of America and Britain there is a complete ban on the use of certain types of pesticide.

Some of the harmful side-effects of pesticides include the poisoning of human beings, animal and plant life. Pesticides are used to kill certain pets that destroy crops; but these pesticides are not specifically meant for any particular type of pest. As a result when we use pesticides in an area, they kill some other organisms as well. We often hear of domestic animals that die as a result of eating leaves and grass from areas where these pesticides are used. When pesticides are used in an area they spread in the atmosphere, in the water, and are found in animal bodies. They produce complex interaction in animal bodies.

They produce complex interaction in animals and human beings. In places where pesticides are spread by means of aerial spraying over large areas of forests there is evidence of large scale wildlife casualties. The examination of large number of birds is another harmful side-effect of the use of pesticides in forests.

The destruction of plant life following the use of pesticides is acute when it is sprayed over an area where there is a complicated mosaic of different crops. What is meant to destroy a certain pest in a particular crop may destroy some other crop as well. In the case of spraying pesticides over vast areas that support the same crop, the possibility of destruction of other forms of crop or plant life is very remote. The poison from pesticides found accumulated in the animal and plant food that we eat could have harmful affects on the human species.

The frightening destruction of wild life and plant life by pesticides, and the dangers they pose to human beings have given rise to alarm and reaction against the indiscriminate use of pesticides. Considering the large-scale use of pesticides in nearly all countries of the world, and realising its harmful effects on human species, animal -- domestic and wild-- and plant life, it is of urgent necessity that all those concerned with the use of pesticides -- agriculturists, industrialists, medical authorities and conservation biologists -- should make concerted efforts to encourage research in the extend and magnitude of the harmful effects, and the manufacture pesticides only for certain specific purposes.

 In the meantime, if there is a strong case for the use of any pesticide with very dangerous side-effects, it should be dismissed in the large interest of human society.

Essay On The Child Is The Father Of The Man

Essay On The Child Is The Father Of  The Man.Just as the morning foreshadows the day, so does the child reveal the future man it is going to be, showing all those tendencies which subsequently become distinct. A man is but an overgrown child, and generally retains in him some of the refreshing features of childhood.

The child may not be the spiritual being as Wordsworth has painted it, but it is fresh from God, and is quite innocent. We can observe its mind very easily and analyse its character. On doing so, we shall come across certain inherited dispositions, good and bad, which lie in it in a germic condition like seeds which one day would sprout up into flower and fruits. Byron calls the child "a rose with all its sweetest leaves yet folded". Polock says that children are "living jewels, dropped unstained from heaven." But all the same they are the to morrow of society and as such have imbedded in them the glory of manhood also, holding in their hands the destiny of the nation.

A man's destiny hinges on his childhood. It is, therefore imperative on our part to see that the child is able to retain some of his pristine innocence and purity when he grows up. The conventions and the false creeds of the world should not be grafted on his minds, so that in later years he may have some of the child's heart left to respond to the earliest enchantment.' The careers of many children have been blighted for want of proper care and training. If we want to give the child something positive, let us plant in him the seeds of those virtues which would bear only sweet fruit in life.

For the nothing is no necessary as a good home and a good company. We daily come across examples of men who developed rightly under right influence and of men who went astray because none cared to preserve in them the instincts of childhood.

Not that all the instincts of a child are to be fostered. The child is the father of the man. He has in him all those tendencies which would become prominent later on. So we should curb down the vicious tendencies and encouraging the virtuous ones. Only we should keep him free from the contamination of the social conventions as long as he is not able to form a mature judgment. Let us not teach him our so-called wisdom what will make him lose his angelic lustre and become a slave to customs and the world.

If there is anything that will endure.
The eye of God because if still is pure,
It is the spirit of a little child,
Fresh from His hand, and therefore, undefiled.
Nearer the gate of Paradise than we,
Our children breathe its airs, its angels see;
And when they pray God hears their simple prayer,
Yea, even sheathes His sword, in judgment bare,

Essay On Handsome Is That Handsome Does

Essay On Handsome Is That Handsome Does.This is a moral maxim, one which very beautifully expresses the superiority of ethical over material merit. It will do immense good to mankind if the noble and lofty teachings embodied in this and other such maxims were fully unfolded and their implications clearly explained.

Life is a development in which the endeavour of man should be to travel daily towards greater and greater perfection. A life which has no direction to move in and in which one only lives in the physical sense is called 'vegetation,' which means living like a thing without mind, growing merely physically. Such a life is a descending from the higher human level to a lower unconscious and unthinking level. The superiority of man over the rest of the creation consists in nothing but in this possession of mind and an urge to excel in things of the mind and the spirit rather than in things of the body.

From this point we come to the next. What are the great directions in which human life is to seek its perfection or the fullness of its development? These directions are variously called moral aims, ideals or values. An ideal is a state of perfection towards which we must endeavour to travel, but which is so high that we human beings„ with out limited span of life and the so many weaknesses inherent in us, many never hope to achieve it.

But there is great merit even in having felt the urge and the pull of the ideal and in having made an effort to rise towards it. A 'value' means an idea which represents something which is good in itself rather than for the sake of something else. A little distinction will make what we mean by value exactly clearly. Wealth is a good thing. but it is a not good in itself. It is good only in so far as it helps us to achieve some other ends, for example. the necessities of life, power, influence, etc.

These other things which come as consequence of possessing wealth in their own turn may not be good in themselves, but may only be a means to still further ends. On the other hand, contemplating nobility is something good in itself; it is desirable in itself, and we cannot imagine it to be only an intervening stage to the attainment of something higher than itself. It is itself the highest. It is, therefore. 'value'. -

The maxim which stands at the head of this easy expresses the 'conception of a value. Our criterion of judgment in life is ordinarily limited and shallow. We are carried away either by stupidity or by selfishness in valuing things of a lower kind.

Thus, we feel more pride in associating with a stupid rich man than with a wise poor one; we regard a man who is socially influential as fundamentally better than one who is not so influential. These are all wrong criteria and wrong judgments. Goodness does not lie in wealth and in power. These are merely amoral or non- moral things, neither good nor bad.

Their goodness or badness is to be determined by the direction which they take, by the use of which they are put. The thing which is really good, and which determines whether a man is good or 'handsome,' whether he is worthy of our praise or not, is this quality of doing something 'handsome,' that is morally good.

Essay On The Apparel Oft Proclaims The Man

Essay On The Apparel Oft Proclaims The Man.The words come in the parting advice to his son, Lasertes, Oven by the pompous and fussy Polonius. the Lord Chamberlain in" Hamlet- On dress he says:-

'Costly they habit as thy purse can buy; But not expressed in fancy; rich not gaudy: For the apparel oft proclaims the man."

That is, dress well and expensively, but soberly; and avoid the flashy and showy fashions of fops and denudes; for a man is often known by the clothes he wears. Wear the sort of dress that will show you to be a cultured and refined gentleman.

The most obvious illustration of this saying is the wearing of uniform. You can tell whether a man is a soldier, sailor, a policemen, or a railway guard, by the uniform he wears. You know a judge by his large wig and ample robes.. a lawyer by his black gown, a professor by his gown and cap and hood. But all that such uniforms tell us is the profession of the wearer.

They do not tell us what sort of men they are in character, All the privates in one regiment are dressed exactly alike; but they are very different men.

We can however, often learn something of men's character and habits from the clothes they' wear. A man whose clothes are always clean and well-brushed is a man of neat and tidy habits; whereas dirty or torn clothes tell us that the wearer is habitually careless and slovenly. Clothier, too, will often indicate the social position of the wearer; for one who is always dressed in the height of fashion is probably well- off and a gentleman; while one in an old shabby suit, or in rags, is probably poor, and even a beggar.

But all this does not carry us far. You will notice that Shakespeare says oft, not always:" The apparel oft proclaims the man". He knew men too well to think that one can always judge man by his clothes. And there are proverbs that contradict his saying; for example.

'' Appearances are deceitful". The outward appearance, the apparel a man wears, often conceals rather that reveals the man. Maly a vulgar, ill-bred man is dressed like a gentleman; and many a cultured and leaned gentleman is shabbily dressed. Remember these
other two proverbs:- Fine clothes do not make a gentleman", and Handsome is that handsome does".

Essay on negative Effects of Watching too much TV

Nowadays watching too much TV became a very widespread problem. We can see TV in every home, even the parents begin to teach their children to watch TV in early childhood, because they think that is a good way to develop a child. Sometimes people forget that the TV does not always carries only positive aspects. “Indeed, a negative relationship exists between the amount of time spent watching TV and children and adolescents health status, including overweight, school and verbal performance, perceived cognitive and attention abilities, and violence or bullying” (Patriarca, 2009). Negative effects of the TV became quite obvious fact. As a consequence, TV affects human physical, mental and social health in a very destructive ways.

One reason why people should not watch too much TV is reduction of mental capacity. Because when people watch an excessive amount of television they do not look for new solutions of any problems. TV changes the way of thinking. This is especially noticeable in the younger generation. Usually the film ends happily, even if the characters in the film were pursued by criminal group or Interpol. Because of this, people stop to look for the solution of problems and expect that everything will be resolved by itself well. In their brains creativity and the desire to create completely replaced by continuous consumption of the information which was produced by TV. That is why after watching too much TV people get typical forgetfulness and decreased ability to think abstractly. Also excessive TV watching changes the outlook on life. Most of those who met in real life with the representatives of various professions, say that, in reality, these people are quite different. They are very different from television characters, because TV does not show the reality, but try to show perfect life.

As an another reason, excessive TV watching leads to emotional frustration in families and problems with relatives. It happens, because people get used to observe the dramatic developments of heroes screen, to share all their experiences, tragedies, challenges and so on. Rather than spend time with family and friends, people are worried about fictional characters. People are so accustomed to these characters that other people may seem less intimate than the vending hero of the next series. Maybe if people will spend more time with their relatives and families instead of watching TV, the statistics of broken marriages will be many times better.

Also watching too much TV is harmful because the human brain is filled with redundant information. A huge stream of advertising, TV shows, TV series and news releases emotional cripple person. Usually people can see dozens or hundreds of commercials for the evening, which will be later mixed in unthought mess in their heads. If people beat the heads with useless information they totally do not leave space for a really worthwhile information. Thus it can be said that in the modern time watching TV is an attribute of a limited world view and lazy lifestyle, which leads to many psychological and physiological problems.

Short Essay on the Value of Time

Value chain of our life time activities can have the Value proposition as self brand of creating opportunity for ourselves. There goes a proverb- "Time and tide wait for no man."

Time once gone is gone for ever". This sentence has encapsulated the true  value of time. Time gives only one chance and one has to put all effort and intelligence to make it best usable.

Time is really a wonderful thing. It can be defined satisfactorily as- It has no beginning and no ending. All things are born in time, grow in time and then decay and die in time. Time moves at its own pace. It cannot be commanded. It does not wait for kings or princess and has no pity for beggars. .It cannot be analyzed. It can not be criticised.

We are generally conscious about passing time and its importance. We have developed clocks and watches to indicate its flow. We have invented dates, days and years to indicate and measure it in our own way, but mind me,  it is really indivisible and immeasurable.

People say time is money. But I am saying that it is more precious than money. Money lost can be recovered, but not the time lost. A moment lost is lost for ever. Time is ever changing. Change is the law of nature. Nothing is independent of change or time. Man’s life is very short but the work is much large and difficult. There are so much to do in one's life. Therefore, we should not waste even a single minute. Every breath, every second should be used properly and meaningfully.

Our school work, home task, hours of rest and sleep, time of recreation and exercise, etc. should be well planned and organized.

We should never postpone doing good and important things. We should never be idle when we ought to be working hard. Leisure is enjoyable only after fruitful hard work. It is our duty to not to leave any work till tomorrow that can be done today and now.

We should not waste time. Actually, nobody can waste time. It is we who are being wasted by time. Economy and value of time is very much important. Great men and women use their every moments most profitably and economically. It is through this method that they have invented great things, discovered wonderful things and left their footprints on the sands of time.

Even our spare time should be wisely used. It   should be utilized in pursuit of healthy and meaningful hobbies and ecstasy. We may study books, learn music, play with children, grow a garden, learn to do something new and useful in our leisure.

In many bigger competition we have noticed that time management is given due importance to score at the top level. Time management is the effect of the value of time. It is the time which value each rise and fall of the economy, sociability, humanity, poverty and divinity. The Almighty God has also provided a limited time for our life. He has set sun, moon, earth etc to perform its duty in time. Time has been also set for complete devastation ( according to Quran Qayamat) of whole universe. Time will also watch the time after complete devastation. This time is only known to God.

Essay on The Possibility of Third World War

Man craves for peace during war but he is haunted by the fear of war during peace time. As a result of it during peace time he starts preparing for war, piles up weapons, enters into treaties with the super powers and increases defence expenditure. All this leads to cold war. After the Second World War, the two super powers-Russia and America started fearing each other and this fear was increased by their ideoloircal differences and differences in their political set up. So since the end of the Second World War fear of the Third World War has been haunting mankind.

There have been many serious political problems which might have easily lead to Third World War. The earliest of them have been the Cuban crises and Korean war. The Vietnam war. Iran dispute, Arab Israel confrontation, Kashmir problem and even Russian occupation of Afghanistan would have flared up into world war. All of these were serious threats to world peace. But the fear of the disaster which may result due to world war kept the nations under check.

It appears there is a little chance of World War III because with the coming of Gorbachev in power efforts have been made to defuse the world situation; the Iraq Iran war has been brought to an end; the P.L.O. has declared Palestanian state without claiming Israeli land. Similarly the confrontation between Russia and China is coming to an end. Russia has withdrawn her forces from Afghanistan. In Pakistan also democratic government has been formed.

So there is a great possibility that they may try to resolve out-standing problems through negotiations with India. In this manner the atmosphere is not so much charged with tension as it was in the earlier years. Still we cannot say at this moment that peace is going to last for a long time. Most of the world problems have not been buried deep rather they threaten to become the cause of the third world war.

The consequences of the Third World War are extremely horrible to imagine. Some of the scientists have pointed out that the use of bombs like Megaton bomb and Cobalt bomb would consume whole of the oxygen of the atmosphere and living creatures would not be able to breathe and live. Some others say that the heat produced by the explosion of the bomb would melt snow on the mountains and consequently the world would be flooded.

Some others think that after war even if there is some life it would be meaningless and extremely primitive though some think that the nuclear winter will freeze every thing on earth. If the Third World War is fought with the weapons which the super powers possess at this time there would be total destruction. What will be the fate of the earth and the universe if the Star War programme continues.

Super powers go on increasing their striking power. Once Einstein was asked how third world war would be fought he gave a pertinent reply that he did not know about the third world war but if Fourth World War was fought it would be fought with the help of stones. He meant to say that human beings would reel back to the primitive ages. In fact during the Third World War there will be no victor and no vanquished.

It is only the horrible consequences of the Third World War that make the super powers to think of avoiding war. President Nixon during his term as President of America wanted to make use of the Nuclear Bomb in Vietnam and also during Indo-Pak war but he desisted from this act of foolishness perhaps only because of the fear of the destruction of the world.

Russel in one of his essays pointed out that if there was going to be a world war it should be as early as it was possible otherwise it would be so destructive that there would be no historian to record. The possibility of the Third World War at this time seem to be remote.

The consequences are so horrible that one could never think of war. Former president of Pakistan Ishaq Khan once said -we are standing on a precipice and a single wrong step will bring total destruction".

Essay on Should Women Receive Military Training

Every one knows that women are equal to men in strength and intelligence. It follows, therefore, that women can get training for any profession which men can select. Women are found fit for any kind of work. Thus women work in mills, factories and mines. They become fitters, engineers,. air-hostesses and pilots. They also join the ranks of home-guards and police force. In both these vocations women have to work hard
and have to risk their lives. Military training is one step further and women should take such training.
Modern wars require millions of soldiers.

Hence if women take military training, enough soldiers will be available and there will be no need of conscription. Even if we do not send women on the battlefield we can keep them to guard the frontiers of our country in times of war. When women take up this responsibility, more male soldiers can be sent on the battlefront. Thus women soldiers will be extremely useful to the country in times of emergency.

Some persons say that the fair sex is timid by nature, and that even if women take military training, they will miserably fail on the battlefield. But history furnishes many examples for the valour of women warriors, Razia, Chand Bibi, Joan of Arc, Tarabai Rani of Jhansi have become immortal for their fiery zeal and valour on the battle-field. In the last world war Russian women took an active part and saved their country from the German invasion. Only recently women of Azad Kashmir rendered meritorious services to their motherland by joining armed forces.

Even from the point of civil life, women should take military training. After receiving military training, women will be equal to men in all respects. Hence there will be no inferiority complex in women. Again military training will make women fearless and brave.

In times of riots, air attacks etc., such women will behave in an orderly manner and will stop chaos. Moreover the children of women who have received military training will be brave and disciplined.
There are some who disfavour military training of women. Women can take military training no doubt, but they cannot take part in strenuous and risky military operations.

They also argue that women have to manage their homes and have to look after their children. They cannot ignore these important duties and go to the battle-front. This argument is proper no doubt, but it does not apply to unmarried women, who can safely join the army. Some say that military training will change the temper of Worden and they will become unfit as wives and mothers.

Circumstances are fast changing. Future wars will be more disastrous than the past wars. Therefore women will have to shoulder some of the responsibilities of men in time of war. Obviously then women should take military training.

Little Things In Life Essay


Essay On Little Things Are Great To Little Men.

It is a fact that "the great would not think themselves demigods if the little did not worship them." Greatness is gained by comparison and when analysed it comes to a greater range and extent than when looked at by itself. Greatness is a relative term. Very few are great because of originality. Distinction very often comes through contrast. A man of ordinary stature would be a distinguished figure in the land of pigmies.

A man getting a salary of Rs. 10.000 a month would be considered a rich man among the labourers who live from hand to mouth. A village school master who has only got though his Matriculation would be looked upon as a prodigy of learning by the simple minded rustics.

So the value of greatness depends on our sense of proportion. Little men have a narrow outlook on life. Their ideas are derived from their immediate surroundings and they have not the power of visualisation. They cannot look far ahead, nor have they the faculty of observing things in their right perspective. The result is that their judgment is incorrect and they are not able to discriminate between the great things and little things.

Great things would fill their minds with superstitious awe, while the little things would loom large in their eyes. There are so many little men's great men in this world, who possess no inherent worth, but who pose themselves as great before the little men. The servant to a Deputy Commissioner is a great men in the eyes_of the villagers. A pocket gramophone or a travelling cinema would be a wonder of the world to them. This is all due to their narrow and distorted vision.

But this narrow outlook of little men has an advantage also. They have very few ambitions and those too are easily fulfilled. Their desires do not extend to unattainable or valuable things. They are satisfied with little things and lead a contented life. Moreover. the pleasure they desire from little things is greater than what the great men get from great things, because they can never reach the goal of their ambitions. They aim at the moon and only hit at the mountain.

Generally, greatness, is an illusion. The minute a great man is taken out of the atmosphere he is living in or the position he is occupying, he becomes shorn of his greatness. -When greatness descends from its lofty pedestal, it assumes human dimensions."
