The Craze for Cinema


Cinema is very common throughout the world. Everyone is entertained by cinema and enjoy themselves for nearly 3 hours. Cinema came into existence in 1930. At first silent and black & white movies were made. After that colored movies came into existence. Seeing a movie is not at all costly as compared to the other sources of entertainment. That is why everyone likes to see a cinema in the theater. Cinema has its merits and demerits too. If a person sees a bad film then he can adopt all the bad points of the film. To see too much of films can spoil the eyesight, waste your money, time and energy. Now a days cinema has become very popular and it is a good source of entertainment.

Children's Day Special...


Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru was a great freedom fighter of India. He was the first Prime Minister of India. He loved children very much. He found himself happy in the company of the children. He was called "Chacha Nehru" by the children. Nehru used to celebrate his birthday as the "Children's Day" i.e. 14th November. On this day meetings, games, sports and many more programmes are held. Children take part in programmes like dancing and singing. In schools children are allowed to take part in merry-making. Sweets are distributed to the children as this is the most important day for them. Children should be loved by elders. Today's children are the future leaders of the country. They have to complete the remaining work left behind by our leaders.

Winter Season!


Winter season is one of the four major seasons in India. It lasts from November to January. Winter is liked by many people because of the cold climate. It is the time when the days are short and the nights become very long. Winter solstice on December 21, falls during this season. The pleasure of eating ice creams is during the winters only. During this season, it is really nice to go for sunny picnics or have a winter afternoon lunch spread on the lawn grass. The garden will be full of seasonal blooms of sweet peas, colorful roses, flocks, dahlias and chrysanthemums. In the evening, we can have bonfires at home with all the family gathered together, munching pop corns and other tidbits and sipping hot coffee.

Life of Mahatma Gandhi


Mahatma Gandhi was a great freedom fighter. He freed India from the British rule in 1947. He was born on 2nd October, 1869, at Porbander. His full name was Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi. His father was a Deewan at Rajkot. He went to England to study law. He came back and became a barrister at Bombay. Then he went to South Africa. In South Africa, Indians were not treated properly and so he fought for them.

He had been to jail several times in the freedom struggle. He strongly believed in Ahimsa (Non-Violence). He lived a very simple life and he just wore a pure khadi.
We also call him Bapu. He was shot dead on 30th January, 1948. It was indeed a great loss for India and to the world as well. For his services and sacrifices for the country he was named the Father of the Nation.

Cute Little Cat


A cat is a domestic animal but there are wild cats too. Cats are found in various colors. The eyes of the cat which are of gray color, shine at night. A cat has sharp claws. The cat feeds on rats, pigeons, lizards and much more. She is really fond of milk. It can climb up a tree and can even jump from one roof to another. When she mews the rats run away. In this way she keeps the rats away from our house. She has got soft gentle fur and gives birth to kittens once in a year. Cat is a wonderful domestic animal which is very much playful. She is afraid of of dogs. But whenever she is put in trouble she becomes very dangerous. But on the whole, we can say that cat is an awesome loving animal.
