POEM

There is a great teacher called river.
Whose teachings can make us shrewed and clever.
Never bend your way for anything in the world.
Melt again even after you solidify when its cold.

Don’t let anything be a hindrance,
Jump over them and flow with confidence.
Never stop, go on flowing,
When dams are build, break them and keep going
swirl with the wind and dance with the tree,
Become a symbol of energy and glee.

When people throw a stone, show them your face.
Bend alone the obstacle and go on with grace.
Flow across borders, don’t show a change,
Don’t change your heart even when you age.

Flow through the village and the urban cave.
Quench the thirst for water when people crave.
Don’t show off what you have inside,
Sink in everything and look calm from outside.

The teaching of river goes on and on…
But realizing them takes more penchants and the whole day till the next dawn.
Pick the best and leave the rest.
At last there is always a teacher called river,
Whose teachings can make us shrewd and clever.

ALCOHOL

Alohol is a fermented organic compounds, obtained by distillation of malts and sugars. The alcohol used for drinking is ethyl alcohol. Other common alcohol include methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol. Methyl alcohol is deadly poisonous and causes blindness and even death. Alcohol, when take in small quantities causes intoxication. The heart beats more slowly and the muscles of the blood vessels relax, causing the skin to flush. IF the drink is continued for long period, the speech become indistinct, there is loss of balance and finally reaches the stage where one cannot see clearly and falls asleep. Excessive drinking causes unconsciousness and finally death. The effect of alcohol present in the blood.

Alcoholism generally leads to addiction, because of its effects as a depressant. The person who drinks in an uncontrolled manner is called an alcoholic. He becomes a salve to alcohol. The following saying clearly establishes the consequences of alcohol addition:

“FIRST THE MAN TAKES THE DRINK, THEN
THE DRINK TAKES THE THE DRINK, AND THEN
THE DRINK TAKES THE MAN”.

ADDITION TO THE ALCOHOL IS A STEPWISE PROCESS. Its starts from occasional to moderate and then to heavy drinking. The individual thus becomes completely dependent on alcohol.

POEM

William Wordsworthdescribes poetry as ‘Spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings’. Reading and writing poems brings great pleasure to our minds. One need not necessarily be highly competent in the language in which one attempts writing poems. If one’s mind is pregnant with a thought, the drive to deliver it in the poetic form will automatically bring ‘choice words’ to one’s hand. all of us agree that poetry writing is enjoyed as a solitary assignment. But recently I experienced the pleasure of doing it as a class activity wherein most of the children in the class were involved. A poem was composed in the class. Some student supplied word, some framed lines, some suggested ‘better word’, some tried to bring in the rhyme, so and so forth. Finally they saw poem on the board, that was composed by them all in about twenty minutes!.

The poem are given below read and enjoy.

 A FLASH BACK

As I walked into the sun lit room
I felt nervous and was filled with gloom.
I was still holding my mother’s hand,
The class room was looking grand!

When my left I felt insecure
The teacher took my hand in her hand
With a pleasant smile and love which is pure
We began our journey to a happy land.
