PERSUASIVE WRITING

LIBRARY A DYING PARADISE

As we all know, in this era of technology, libraries are less visited sine books are less opened. The job of a postman is in the verge of extinction since messages are now through the finger tips and so on. After all we do have libraries in some corners. But very soon they will also fade away and its time to prepare a story for our next generation that we had a hub for knowledge which is no longer alive. The resource centers around us wherever we go are majorly visited by elderly people who are less knowledged on google and social medias. Anything and everything even out of the box are easily available in all our pockets. And we all know that we are privilaged with all the technologies we have now and also we are glad that our children will also be. But we are less thinking on the fact that they are the most unfortunate people. All the developments are heartly invited and acceptable until and unless they don't compromise with the needs and values of our future generations. In this busy world of developing technology lets hope that there is one library in all our states atleast as a historical building to show what a library was to the coming generations.

NARRATIVE

THE ART OF LOVE

Once upon a time in the Alpes, there were a lot of porcupines, who had families. One day a in a winter season these porcupines found themselves very difficult to survive. Hence one of the porcupines raised an idea that " we can hug together with our families and survive the cold so that we passes on our body temperatures to each other and so we all can defeat this extreme climate". All the porcupines agreed. They started to do as they planned. But one porcupine found it difficult to adjust with that decision since the thrones of his partner's porcupines hits him and its painful, so this one porcupine decides to back off from this decision and planned to move on by suffering this winter. As soon as he went away from this beloved one, he understood that he cannot fight with this extreme cold anymore and if he is continuing to be alone in this cold, he will have to give up his life.Then he decides to go back to his familly and bare the pain because he understood that baring this pain is more better than dying in that cold whether, and then he thought for a while that how his beloved one is surviving and thought that even she has bared the pain of my thrones. She will also be suffering in this deadly cold. Then he came back and hugged his wife and they all survived the winter.

The moral of this story is that, your partner will have some faults which can hurt you. But later you will realise when you get into a situation which is more harder than you find in him/her that you were wrong and you emotionally has vandelised someone who loved and cared for you. Hence being with someone who loves you even if he/she has any imperfections, is more better and important than being detached and inviting your hard life.

ARTICLE

VIEW POINT

TOPIC: WHY DON'T WE OBEY INDIAN RULES?

Why people dont abide our rules is simply because this is India where punishment will not be given to a rapist even after years then forgets about common violation such as breaking traffic signals.Even Police don’t give a look into the violation of our laws. I have seen from my own eyes that, once I was walking on the street. I saw a Police car moving. And one police officer moved his head out of the window and he spat on the road.

Swatcch Bharat is going little well, but needs MASSIVE improvement. As there is still no penalty on throwing garbage on the street in India. I can still see some people throwing garbage on the road side. Though the percentage has now decreased. But some people still does it.
Smoking in public is a criminal offense in India, but I haven’t seen even a single man getting arrested for smoking in public. They just break rule because they know nobody is gonna do anything.

While coming home, I saw a police car crossed the signal even after the signal just turned red. Along with him few more vehicles passed.If the government itself doesn't follow the rules and regulations properly, then who else will? Apart from this, some don't follow because they are too busy. If they lose few seconds, they will lose crores and crores.If they follow it properly, then what's the difference between the literate and illiterate. Or even cows. If they follow it properly, then few kewl people will mock them as “Rules Ramanujam".I'm talking about 50 percent of the people only. Then the 40 percent of the remaining follow it strictly so that they will not be caught by police and fined.

We have something called The Indian Constitution which is very effectively designed. If the peaceful atmosphere of the country is disturbed, there are sessions to file cases against anyone despite whom they are and what their status is. We are in a Democratic country where we have all the freedoms and rights as the citizen of India. We all have studies in our schools in the chapters of politics that Government is for the people, of the people, and by the people. If you look into the seats of Indian Parliament, there are 545 seats where there is no seat number 420. Instead of 420 its 419B, the order goes 418, 419A, 419B, 421.. The reason behind it is that according to Indian Penal code 420 ie, IPC 420 deals with curreption and cheating, since no one wants to see a politician in such a way. That means everything legally designed are so beautiful but making done of those rules and regulations are more important to have a peaceful environment within us. We really owe the sessions and punishments we have. But we also need those to be implimented so that the death rates due to accidents comes down, the rapists and assaulters no longer survive in this world so happily, also the facilities in the prisons are now like a five star hotel that they demand for food, they gets shelter, they are very safe inside without any fears.

Hope a day comes when we can change the angle of our neck and head and proudly say I am safe in the hands of my mother India.
