[Essay] have newspaper become obsolete ?

By
       Newspapers play a vital role in our life. we cannot imagine a single day without newspaper in the morning. It has become a part and parcel of our routine with news from far and near. It gives us, at a glance what is happening all over the world. It brings us abreast of latest information, discoveries and inventions, the toppling of a government, the forming of a new government, the winning and losing of a match, an earthquake, a plane crash, accidents, the lives of great people, tragedies, comedies and so on which can be read any time conveniently during the day or later.
       with the development of science and technology, many inventions such as DTH, internet, satellite television, through which we can watch any event happening anywhere in the world, it does appear that the newspaper has become obsolete. There is nothing worthwhile in it which we cannot watch on T.V. Indeed what is recorded by the camera is more authentic and objective than the second hand report of an individual which is bound to be more subjective.
       No two newspaper accounts of an event will be the same. One newspaper will report a fifteen year old girl killed while another will report a fifty year old girl killed while another will report a fifty – year old woman. Every newspaper in its struggle to strive in a haste to report something first no matter, regarding its authenticity, leaving the poor average common reader confused by the different news in different newspaper.
       Television, on the other hand, gives you a watch and believe eye witness account of the entire happenings so that you can judge and reach to any conclusion according to your discretion. Most of the space in newspapers is consumed for drab advertisements but on T.V. advertisements which not only inform but entertain as well are shown.
       But, now the question remains. can we say good-bye to our newspaperman? do we really have to start the day by pressing the T.V. switch? Would we rather put a glance at the headlines in the newspaper and look forward to reading the entire newspaper later in the day? There are so many new items in it which  are not carried by T.V. and no replacement for the classified ads column yet. Moreover, there are some very interesting articles which can be read out any time, where as to gain importance from the T.V. we are dependent on the times of T.V. program. So according to me as long as human beings can read, newspapers cannot become obsolete

[Essay] If i were a scientist

By
India has given to the world a great many scientists like Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose , Sir Vishweshwaraiya , SrinivasRamanujan , Sir C. V. Raman, Dr. Homi Bhabha, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and Dr. Abdul Kalam. I admire them all. So many a times I keep wondering what “If I were a scientist” let me think. What can I do for the best of my Country, my people and all of the above for all the living beings residing on earth. How can I be useful to humanity? How can I be useful for the conservation and preservation of earth? To what extent I would be at service to mother earth? If I were a scientist, service to mankind would be first and foremost duty of life. I would work round the clock to invent remedies for deadly diseases like AIDS and cancer. I would try to put an end to human suffering . I would invent medicines that would make and old age worth living. As a scientist, I would request all the scientists of the world to use the atomic and nuclear energy for the welfare

[essay] Role of teacher in moulding a student's life

By
Teachers takes the place of parents in a school, they guide and mould the character and personality of the student. They influence the formative years of the students. A good teacher coaxes and helps a student to understand his abilities and become a better human being. The children look up to their teachers so it is very easy to mould them to divert their attention to things which are constructive. Students are going to be the future citizen of the country- so it is the duty of the teacher to harness their capabilities in making the future of country bright. To be a role model a teacher should learn to appreciate studies themselves, then only can they make the students appreciate the importance of education and knowledge in their lives. Unsure teachers only teach for money. They destroy the growth of students and cannot be role models. Teachers should not consider teaching to be a money spinning business. They should understand that they are in a noble profession and the growth and

[Essay] The pleasures and pains of youth

By
The period of teenage is a short but a beautiful one. We begin our teens when we are “thirteen” and we end it with “nineteen”. It is also called a period of adolescence – when you are neither a child nor an adult. It is a time for privacy but on the other hand there is a lot of peer pressure. You start growing up and understanding your physical qualities and understanding the importance of looking good. You look out for a role model – a wrong model can put your life in jeopardy. The right role model can uplift your life. You want to act grown up but you lack the confidence, so many times you act in an immature manner creating problems for our own selves. We do not appreciate parental advice and we feel it is too condescending. Parents also refuse to understand this phase of the child. Actually parents should be made friends and role model as they always wish the best for their children. Lack of reading and too much dependency on TV, computers , internet and films, can lead to
