Our education system

Education is responsible for the entire progress of man.It has made man cultured and civilized.Without education,man would have been worse than the wild beasts.All the equipment of ease and entertainment is due to education.Education is of many kinds.Professional education,technical education,scientific education and artistic education are some of them.No man can be perfect in all the branches of knowledge.Therefore,every man chooses his own field of studies according to his taste.

Our current education system cannot cope with the demands of science and technology.It was established many years ago.At that time,it might have been consistent with the needs of the age;but now it appears to be fully outdated.It should be revised and improved according to the new challenges of the world.

In our country,the principal purpose of education is to procure a job.This is not possible without professional,technical and scientific knowledge.On the other hand,the course of studies does not provide practical knowledge of science and technology.Moreover,the economy of our country is not so stable as to offer employment to every educated young man.Besides,the graduates of our country are not skilled professionals or technically trained.They are good for nothing.They hate menial work.Thus they remain unemployed.The unemployed youth can easily fall victim to social evils.Thus,instead of becoming useful citizens,they turn out to be criminals.It is an admitted fact that an evil generates other evils.Thus the whole society yields to corruption,theft,murder,kidnapping and terrorism.To prevent such a horrible situation,we must take solid steps to modify our education system.The following steps may be helpful in this regard.

First,technical and professional training should be initiated without any more delay.The level of education should be raised .It is true that the knowledge of literature and fine arts brings us joy but it cannot procure an honorable job for us.Thus with the study of arts,we should get professional training as well.

Second,system of examination should be improved and bettered.The universities should not be generous in issuing degrees.The examination should be the real test of awareness and knowledge.Government should take solid steps for the eradication of cheating in examination.The lowest qualification limit should be 50% marks instead of 33%.

Third,the teachers should be trained properly.They should be expert and skillful in their respective fields.The salaries of the teachers should be handsome so that they may pay full attention to their duty without facing any financial problems.The government must realize that without improving the standard of education,no progress can be made in any field.

Mobile/cellular phones

Mobile phone is also called 'cell phone'. It is a transmitter and a receiver combined in one unit.It works like a portable or cordless telephone.Cell phones have become very popular with the masses in this era.

The number of cell phone users is increasing each year.In the beginning,the prices of mobile phones were fairly high.Only a small group of big businesspersons could enjoy mobile phone services.Then eventually,the providers reduced the prices of cell phones and network access.Thus,cell phone services achieved a great commercial success.

The mobile phones have revolutionized life.They have proved to be very useful and beneficial.They ensure quick communication.They are performing wonders in the field of business,culture,trade and commerce.They have sped up productivity.People can contact each other whenever they want and wherever they are.

The mobile phones have improved safety of people.Earlier people could contact police and other security officials only on wire-based phones.But if the wire was disconnected,the communication could be prevented.And such kind of disconnection in telecommunication could result into serious damage.But now no such obstacle could hamper the quick communication between the public and security-officials.Now people feel safe at home,on the road or in deserts.

The mobile phones have made life easy and pleasant.People call in the doctors or technicians on will.They have not to go out in search of these persons.Sitting at home.they get their things repaired,meals served and things done.This also saves their time and thus makes life comfortable.

Though the advantages of mobile phones are many,their faults are not few in numbers.

Mobile phones are an obvious cause of time-wastage.Usually people are seen busy with playing games,listening music,using internet,sending messages and chatting for hours on cell phones.Mobile phones have affected adversely our youth.The young students instead of paying heed to their students fall victim to the charms of mobile phones and waste their time in useless activities.

The most fatal effect of cell phones on our youth is that they are being derailed from the virtuous path of life.They are falling prey to moral corruption.For whom are the free mobile-services-packages after mid-night.Are they meant for businessmen,traders or doctors?. No,everyone is asleep at this hour of night except the devil disciplines.Moral decline illicit love and the revolt from our cultural traditions are the only outcome of all such mobile-services-packages.

Mobile cells have become a definite cause of lawlessness.Unregistered mobile connections have given rise to criminal activities in society.At least 50% of crimes would come to a close if only the unregistered mobile connections are cut off.Seneca,a Roman philosopher says:'He who does not prevent a crime when he can,encourages it"

Mobile phones are also a cause of noise pollution.The loud ring tones disturb the public.The mobile calls divert the attention of doers from their real focus.None could do his job with full heed if the mobile phone is not switched off.The government should force the public to keep their mobiles on silent profile to prevent noise pollution.

Mobile phones have caused an undue burden on the economy of the country.A huge portion of foreign exchange is being spent on the import of mobile phones.This affects the productivity and usefulness of foreign exchange.

All the above discussion reveals the fact that mobile phones are a boon only for those who are in real need of them i.e. businessmen,doctors,traders etc.But they are a curse for the poor people and especially the young students.

My last day at college

A college is a place where young generation of a nation sees dreams of golden future.Some young boys and girls work hard to materialize these dreams.In every case,a college student develops an emotional and close association with college.He loves and likes every thing of it.All students become like a family in college.They do not like to separate from one another.But a day comes when they have to leave the college and everything about it.It is the time of real sadness for them.It is very sad moment to go through but life continues.

I also remember my last day at college.It was a pleasant day of 30th April 1986,but it was a gloomy day for me.I and all my friends were aware of the hard reality that we were about to leave the college after all.This separation was so painful,sad and depressing for all of us.Throughout our college stay,we had been so cheerful and excited.We never entertained any idea that a day would come to separate us like that.Some of us were so emotional that they started weeping.Some had tears in their eyes but they controlled themselves.We decided to depart in the same joyful mood as we had been living for the last four years.

First of all,we planned to meet all our teachers.We obtained their autographs in our diaries.After this we had a round of the college to see every nook and corner of corner of it.Then we met our Vice Principal who gave us character certificates.We also met the Principal who advised us to be honest and hard working in life.Then we went to a hotel.We dined together there.In the evening,we went to our college hostel,packed our luggage and got ready to go our homes.It was the time to say good bye to one another.We embraced and another for the last time.Some of us could not control themselves and began to weep bitterly.Finally,we departed with the hope that we would meet again somewhere some day.This is how I spent my last day at college.
