Teacher's Day

In India, 5th September is celebrated as Teaches' Day as a mark of tribute to the contribution made by teachers to the society. 5th September is the birthday of a great teacher Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education, and was the well-known diplomat, scholar, President of India and above all a Teacher.

When Dr. Radhakrishnan became the President of India in 1962, he was approached by some of his students and friends and requested him to allow them to celebrate 5th September, his "Birthday". In reply, Dr.Radhakrishnan said, "Instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege  if September 5 is observed as Teachers' Day". The request showed Dr.Radhakrishnan's love for the teaching profession. From then onwards, the day has been observed as Teachers' Day in India.

THE FOX AND THE CROW

Once there was a hungry fox. She went out in search of food. She wandered here and there. But she failed miserably to get food anywhere. At last she saw a crow sitting on the top of a tree. He had a piece of cheese in his beak. The fox wanted to get his piece of cheese in his beak. The fox wanted to get this piece of cheese at all.

Well Begun Is Have Done

If we begin a work with earnestness (sincerity), its completion is sure shot. There is no hitch or hesitation in its fulfillment. There arise hundreds of difficulties and troubles at the beginning stage. If your start is ok the end will be ok too. There is no doubt in the rewarding end. It is both bright and brilliant.

Diwali - Festival Of Lights

The Hindus in India celebrate many festivals. The Diwali or Dipabali is one such festival. This festival is celebrated on the new moon day after the Dasahara.

PLEASURE OF READING

Food is necessary for our body. Similarly, we also need

food for our mind. The best food for the mind is the reading

of books. It has a joy of its own, which perhaps nothing else

can give the pleasure one derives from reading is procreative

as well as ennobling. Reading gives us peculiar joy and we

forget the cares and worries of life.

Old Man Outwitted

An old man, especially a rich old man, thinks hundreds of ways to revive his youth. He dyes his hair black. And if he is bald headed, he tries many hair-growing agencies. He is deceived. Still he does not learn any lesson. He purchases a number of wigs to suit the occasion. Nut his fondness for growing young and buoyant never diminishes. He has enough and to spare. He wants to spend his money either in building a bungalow of his dream or marrying a young paragon of beauty of twenty one. He has no control or restraint on him. If he is asked to refrain from such acts of hastiness, he frowns, he gets annoyed.
