Poem - To My National Flag

You stand tall and proud,
Saffron for Sacrifice,
White for Science and Peace,
Green for the Farmers and Prosperity,
And for that I salute Thee.

No combination
Of twenty-six letters,
Can describe the admiration
Held by my fellow men for the country,
And it is only because of Thee
And for that I salute Thee.

On Independence and Republic Day
When You are unfurled,
You look as regal as the stories say,
Courage and pride wells up in me,
And for that, O National Flag, I salute Thee.

For the Republic Day

Thou be the epitome of power I seek
Why just me,all-whether mighty or meek
Thou be the light to lift us from the dark
The gloom ignorance bestows.

Thou be the emblem that defines me
I pledge my loyalty as I surrender to Thee
Thou be my solitary master
Hail Thee for an eternity!

We all have trudged through tyranny
And have staunchly fought misery
To establish higher and higher than ever
Thy exalted and commanding glory.

I promise Thee, I shall further toil
To ward off every imbecile
Poverty, Ignorance, Hunger and Grief
That desires to bring you to turmoil.

Time doth play merciless tricks
Those tiring, dirty, callous gimmicks
To rise above them is my test
I shall not flee, I'll try my best.

My Flag, I salute Thee on Republic Day
May Thy spectre ever expand its sway
Down with those who intend to harm
And pull Thee back to the realm of the Dark.

Many hands make light work

Many hands make light work is true in many facets of our lives. It is always easier to finish a job when several people pitch in to get it done. It is the concept of teamwork. Most companies boast of how teamwork is the backbone of the company. That is because they have figured out that when you have “many hands” in the job it makes for a much lighter workload for everyone.

You can see this come to light when you try to lift something heavy. If you try to lift it on your own, it isn’t just hard to do, it can cause you a great deal of injury. If you get more people involved in the process, the item becomes far less heavy to the one person who tried to lift it before. The more people involved in lifting the heavy object, the lighter it becomes until it could hardly be called hard work at all.

You can do work by yourself. You may even make some progress. That doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t be easier if you had more people involved in it. There are those people that think working alone is much better. They feel that others get in the way and hold them up from anything being accomplished. That is only true if one of the team members is being lazy. If everyone works together, great things can get done in an amazingly short amount of time.

Future Career

          At the age of 15, you have to decide what you want to become. Or at least what stream you want to go to. What if you want to change to the decision you made at 15 ? 15 years may seem like a long time to decide, but is not. Should I go in Medical ? Or perhaps Commerce ? Maybe Engineering ? Sometimes, people instinctively know what they are good at. But most of the times... people wonder.... I am good at this...but I am also good at this..It consumes the mind and haves ill-effects on the child's mind. A inferiority complex develops. Others have already chosen. Why can't I ? They have laid a definite path for their future. Why can't I ? Another reason for this confusion is pressure from other people. Legacy from parents, expectations from relatives and friendship from friends. Some people don't like to live up to expectations. They believe that "Right Now" is just a phase to pass through.
            These decisions of career and life should be prolonged till at least 18 years old, when he is no longer a child but an independent adult. So later in life, the concerned person can forgo the question, " I have a Medical degree, But I feel I would have done better in Commerce." Or any other field concerned.

Counter view - Modern Gadgets have simplified our lives

                                                          Electronics - Our Fatal Flaw

Electronics have many advantages but as many disadvantages. Electronic are not reliable. One small malfunction and you have to buy a whole new machine. When you go to a online store to buy something, we can't check if the product we are buying is what they say it is. We just have to believe what the manufacturers tell us. With online shopping there is much use of credit and debit cards. This leads to many problems as hackers can access our account and steal what they want. Ever heard of the washing machine and dryer ? Once a long time ago people used to have a job of washing clothes and drying them. Ever heard of the postman ? He used to deliver letters. It was a job. It would support his family. Now all you have to do is send a message on Whatsapp and its free ! The post men have lost their job. A rise in use of technology has given rise to unemployment.New types of mobile phones have launched. It has become a need to have the latest model of the mobile phone. Hence there is a rise in private expenditure which has led to inflation. Electronics may be a boon but it is also our condemnation.
