A Scene At A Polling Booth

 

                                                                         A Scene At A Polling Booth

The Election Day this year was full of excitement. My school was one of the polling centres. There was feverish activity on the booth. The rush of voters was increasing gradually. There were cars, minihuses and rickshaws used by different candidates to bring voters from their homes. This was, of course, wrong but nobody seemed to mind. There were also stalls where free soft drinks were offered to the voters and sympathizers. The polling officer enquired from the voters their names and other particulars recorded in the electoral roll. He also verified every voter’s identity card before issuing the ballot paper. Before casting the vote, an indelible ink mark was put on every voter’s left forefinger. Polling was brisk especially in the afternoon and the booths were closed exactly at 5 p.m. Luckily there was no unhappy  incident. I returned home tired but satisfied.

Sir

 

Kindly publish the following few lines about the need for environmental awareness. It is one of the biggest problems the modern man faces today. The air we breathe in, the water we drink, and the food we cat are all polluted. Smoke and other chemical wastes of the factories have poisoned the air and water. The result is the breakout of several deadly diseases like cancer. It is a collective responsibility of all Indians to save our

environment. Unauthorized felling of the trees should be checked. New methods should he developed to minimize the effect of the smoke let out by the autos and chimneys. In the end I want to say that. “When all the trees are cut down and all the rivers poisoned, oniy then man will know that money cannot he eaten.”

 

Yours faithfully

Sub: The problem of begging

Kindly allow me to air through your columns one grave problem faced by our country today. This is the problem of begging. It has become a profession for some people because it is the easiest way to earn a living. There are many gangs that kidnap small kids and force them to become beggars. Some criminals also beg to hide their crimes. Begging should he abolished by law. Able-bodied beggars should be forced to work. People should not give any alms to beggars. The government should help the handicapped and helpless persons. Thus the combined effort of the government and the people can end this evil,

Yours faithfully

                                                        Small Family happy family 

A small family is indeed a blessing in today’s world.The cost of living is really high. It becomes impossible to make both ends meet if one has a large family to support. All the countries of the world are facing the problem of rising population. But the problem is very acute and threatening in India because we have limited resources. Stress should be laid on family planning and the spread of education. Small family is an economic necessity also. Theconcept of small family will help to eradicate the problems like poverty and unemployment. A person having less children can make them better citizens by providing them proper diet and good education. The government as well as the public should make a determined effort towards family planning. Children should be born by choice and not by chance. Thus, the concept of small family should he adopted as a way of life.

Dear Rani

 

I received your letter yesterday. Actually it had arrived earlier but I could not get it as I was out of town. Our History teacher had arranged for an educational tour to Agra and I, along with my classmates, enjoyed a three day trip to the place.

 We reached Agra before noon. Inspie of being tired, we could not wait till the next day and went to see The Taj in the evening. The bewitching sight narrated the history of it. It truly exhibits the emotion of love as one falls in love with The Taj itself at first sight. It is, no doubt, one of the seven wonders of the world. Then we went to see the Agra Fort. Here Shahjahan was captivated by his own son. The old emperor could have a full view of Taj Mahal from here. We learn from these tours what no books can teach. What I saw there will always remain fresh in my memory. With regards to Mania and Papa.

 

Yours affectionately
