Ways To Save Water

Hey everyone! 
Today's WORLD WATER DAY i.e on every 22 March, World Water Day is celebrated worldwide in order to spread awareness regarding CONSERVATION OF WATER as it is DEPLETING DAY-BY-DAY.
So, today, I'm putting up an article on the topic 'Ways To Save Water'

💧💧Ways To Save Water💧💧

By: Preksha Mahajan

Water which is 100% natural but 0% replaceable is very precious and necessary and it must not be wasted. Do you know what's the actual story behind this statement? Let's find out.

Nature has given many divine gifts to us out of which, WATER is very vital for a man's survival. Without water, life is impossible on the planet Earth. These days, most of the people waste water without realising that only 2% of water is fit for drinking, cooking and other activities. They leave taps open, throw water filled in the bottles, etc. As a result, 1500 litres of water are wasted per minute all over the planet. All we can do is saving water using various methods and techniques. One should avoid using showers but take a bath with a bucket and mug. Also, driveway, cars and sideways should not be washed and hosed with pipes but with a wet mob. One should be concerned and must stop and report all the leakages. Water used in washing vegetables, fruits, etc. should be given to plants or used for cleaning floor, etc. This will help in recycling water. Taps should not be left running while washing clothes, dishes, shaving or brushing teeth, etc. Some practical ways of saving the rain water are by adopting two methods of roof-top rain water harvesting and drain-water harvesting in the colonies. Also, water given off by ROs (Reverse Osmoisis) should be used for household activities. The United Nations Organization celebrates 22 March each year as 'World Water Day' to spread awareness among public to save water in order to save life. Therefore, small actions can make many changes. 

So, it is rightly said that, ''Save water while still you can because water is the most fundamental resource.'' After all, our contributions are always valued.

Say No To Plastic Bags

Hi  everybody! 

Today's post is a very short essay on a famous topic ''Say No To Plastic Bags''.
So, here it is..

👜Say No To Plastic Bags👜

Well, all of us have heard about the wide-spread slogan 'Say No To Plastic Bags' but do you know what plastic actually is?

Plastic is made up of very harmful chemicals and toxic matter. It contains 54% of carcinogenic substances and 16%of chlorine. It is so crippling that it has created many problems regarding garbage disposal. 
It is a big health hazard. It neither disposes off nor burns as it is a non-biodegradable matter. If it is burnt, many harmful gases are released into the air and inhalation of these fumes and toxic smoke causes many respiratory diseases. If they are decomposed in the soil, the fertility of soil will decrease along with hampering of plant growth. Many of the people throw waste food materials outside on the roads in these cheap bags without knowing that animals that are in search of food, will die after their intestines get blocked. The black plastic bags are very cancerous as the food gets contaminated when put in them. Throwing away plastic is unsafe as it can block drains letting the stagnant water flow out which allows mosquitoes to lay their eggs. Throwing plastic in water pollutes it resulting in depletion of water table. So, the hazardous effects of plastic bags are never-ending. Many of the places like: Himachal Pradesh, etc. are plastic-free as the government has banned the use of these unwanted bags. Plastic bags aren't dangerous but lethal for all. Even the Mother Earth REJECTS them, then why should we ACCEPT them? 
So, all we can do is making the adage true i.e. ''Say No To Plastic Bags and Yes To Cloth, Jute and Paper Bags'' because 'Together We Can And We Will Make A Difference.'

Reduce Food Waste

Hey there!

Today's post is an article based on the topic ''Reduce Food Waste''.

So, here it is..

''🍞Reduce Food Waste🍞''

By: Preksha Mahajan
Would you like to eat a carrot that has two roots or a tomato shaped like a duck? If you ask most of the food buyers, the answers are no. Yes, it is infact very true.But what's the actual story?

A lot of food sellers think no one buys freaky-looking food items. In developing nations, a lot of food gets wasted when people order too much in restaurants. What doesn't get eaten, gets thrown away. As a result, each year, more than 1.3 billion metric tons of food gets wasted just because of some problems like not storing food properly or the way in which it looks like. Producing food that no one eats, in turn, wasted the water, ferilizers, seeds, fuel and land to grow it. Ultimately, more than 800 million people on the planet starve and die of hunger. More food is lost or wasted than is consumed or utilised. Also 9% of food is thrown away at supermarkets and 19% is uneaten and thrown away in homes. So, all we can do is taking small actions, though we don't have any solutions to this issue. One should make the adage i.e. ''Waste Not If You Want Not.'' as his/ her motto. There are many solutions to reduce this food wastage. Students should learn to avoid food wastage. By scheduling recess before lunch, schools can reduce 30% of food waste. Fresh food should be bought. One must think about the right quantity of food to be eaten. Rejected food i.e. regarded as 'ugly' shouldn't be thrown but given to animals or put into composts. If at restaurants, one should share side dishes to keep portions under control. Therefore, small actions can make many changes.

So, I would like to conclude that, ''It takes abut 100 days to produce food but it takes just 2 seconds to waste food.'' Knowing all this, let's reduce food waste in order to reduce deaths that are caused due to hunger and starvation because, ''There is enough for man's need but not enough for man's greed.''

A Strange Dream

Hi everyone!
Here's another post infront of you..
It's an essay on the topic ''A Strange Dream I Had '' 

'THE STRANGE DREAM I HAD'

Dreams are the by-products of our inert mind.. They may be sometimes pleasant and sometimes so terrifying that they can be regarded as NIGHTMARES and you wake up shrieking.

Last night, while I was watching a T.V. serial, 'Fear Files', I dozed off. I had an unpleasant sort of a dream. 
I had gone for shooting of a movie as I was the only one whom the director had given the main role. We were in a famous old 'Chiitorgarh Fort' of Rajasthan. I was wearing the dress of a Queen with many jewels. As it was evening, so the director decided to continue to shot the next day and return to the hotel where we all were staying. 
But I was so inquisitive and curious that I wanted to explore the fort. I was unaware of the fact that it was supposed to be haunted as the ghosts roamed about there at night. As a result, I went into the fort and everybody went back leaving me alone. 
Though it was pitch dark at night, yet I wished to continue my exploration. I saw many beautiful paintings, portraits, weapons, thrones, etc. I was really fascinated by them. Then I went into the garden where there were many trees. 
Suddenly, I heard someone calling the name of old Queen 'Rani Ratnavati'. I thought of looking back as an eerie sensation ran down my spine and saw that it was a ghost with a crooked nose and it was wearing a plain white-coloured dress. 
Meanwhile my friends became worried of me and tried to call and contact me but the signals couldn't reach me. I ran as fast as I could but my costume didn't let me do so. So, I fell down on the ground and screamed so loudly as the ghost was going to pounce upon me.
Immediately, my grandmother woke me up and told me that I had disturbed her because of my screams in my dream. But thank God, it was only a night terror and a horrifying dream lest the ghost should have eaten me. 
Now, I've thought of not watching any scary T.V. show otherwise its result would be as of gruesome and petrifying nightmares.

Dear friend, I was really perturbed to hear that you met with an accident and you've been admitted to the hospital and you've even fractured your leg. 

I know you are a very cautious driver, so the motor cyclist must have banged in your bicycle.Don't worry about your classwork , I'll write down all the notes for you. Also don't take tension about your coming football match as it has been postponed due to some problems in school. Take your medicines regularly and you will be fine soon before the match. Take a nourishing diet and a complete rest and I'm pretty sure you'll get well soon. 

I shall be visiting to look you up on this weekend. I'll also send you some books to read. Take proper medication. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Get well soon!

Summary of Poem: 'Daffodils'

Hey everybody! 
Here's another post infront of you.. Well, it's a stanza-to-stanza summary of the well-known poet William Wordsworth's poem 

            ''DAFFODILS''

About the poet: William Wordsworth (1770 to 1850) was a world-renowned poet who was very influenced by the majestic portrait and scene of merry daffodils which made him an ardent admirer of nature.

Daffodils-

1.I wandered lonely as a cloud 

That floats on high o'er vales and hills, 

When all at once I saw a crowd, 

A host, of golden daffodils; 

Beside the lake, beneath the trees, 

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. 

EXPLANATION--> In the above stanza, the poet compares himself to a cloud roaming aimlessly over valleys and hills when he sees numerous golden daffodils beside the lake and under the trees. The daffodils are dancing merrily in the gentle wind. 

***POETIC DEVICES USED***
👉Simile- 'lonely as a cloud' (The poet compares himself to a floating cloud using the word 'as'.)

👉Metaphors- 'crowd' and 'host' (The millions of daffodils are compared to crowd and host inorder to determine the numbers of daffodils.)

👉Personification- 'Fluttering' and 'dancing' (The multitude of  daffodils are observed as a person moving and dancing merrily in the breeze.)

2. Continuous as the stars that shine 

And twinkle on the milky way, 

They stretched in never-ending line 

Along the margin of a bay: 

Ten thousand saw I at a glance, 

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. 

EXPLANATION--> In the above stanza, the poet compares the multitude of flowers along the bay to the stretchless stars twinking in the Milky Way Galaxy. The poet is so mesmeriz(s)ed by the beauty of splendid daffodils that he  becomes exaggerated and feels that he sees about ten thousand flowers at a single look.

***POETIC DEVICES USED***
👉Simile- 'Continuous as the stars' (The never-ending daffodils are compared to infinite stars that glow in the Milky Way Galaxy.)

👉Hyperbole- 'Ten thousand' (The poet uses the phrase 'ten thousand' as extravagant exaggeration inorder to express his joy.)

3. The waves beside them danced; but they 

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: 

A poet could not but be gay, 

In such a jocund company: 

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought 

What wealth the show to me had brought:

EXPLANATION--> In the above stanza, the poet finds that the waves of the lake are also dancing happily but the daffodils have beaten the ripples by dancing more cheerfully than the waves that the poet is left in a jocund and joyous company. The poet gazes again and again about the treasure accummulated by getting charmed by the glorious show of the daffodils.

***POETIC DEVICES USED***
👉Personification- 'The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee' (The ripples and daffodils are personified.)

👉Repetition- 'I gazed—and gazed' (The poet repeats the phrase again and again because of the charm he feels when he considers daffodils as a great wealth.

4. For oft, when on my couch I lie 

In vacant or in pensive mood, 

They flash upon that inward eye 

Which is the bliss of solitude; 

And then my heart with pleasure fills, 

And dances with the daffodils. 

EXPLANATION--> In the above stanza, whenever the poet is in a relaxing, lonely mood and empty-minded, the superb scenery of over-whelming daffodils flashes upon his inward eye i.e. his mind which in turn, brings so much joy in his loneliness and melancholy that his heart fills with pleasure and dances with daffodils and hence, considers them as blessing in solitude.
