1. My
First Day at College
My first day at
college is a memorable day in my life. As soon as I took my last paper of
Matriculation exams, I planned to visit various
colleges for the admissions in Pre-classes. I began to visit various colleges along
with my two other friends.
The pre-classes
were offered free of fees by almost all the colleges we visited. The final
admissions were to be made after the announcement of Secondary School
Examination by the boards. Finally, we decided to join pre-classes sessions at
Punjab College. They told us the exact date of the commencement of the classes.
We were told to reach the college
at 9: 00 am on the given day.
On the first day, I got up early and after saying
my Fajar Prayer,
I spent most of the time getting myself ready before we set
off for the college on a motorbike.
I had a strange
feeling as if I had achieved some great target
in my life. I was thinking about the thrill and excitement of
college life. At the same time, I had a strange fear. I was afraid that how
would I compete with other students of the college. There must be the boys who
are more intelligent than me. I had the idea that I may not understand the
concepts well and the syllabus will be tough and that is too in English medium.
All this made me lose my confidence on the first day.
We reached
college in time. After parking the motorbike we tried to enter the main gate.
There was a boy who stopped us. He looked like a guard or a watchman of the
college. He demanded 50 rupees
as a bike parking fee. We were surprised. I could not think that a well- reputed college of the town would
have fixed a parking fee for the students.
I told him that we
were newcomers but he told us to pull out our bike from the parking stand and
park it almost a half kilometer to the south of the college if we do not pay
him the parking fee. Meanwhile, some other boys for the college came and they
confirmed that the parking fee is mandatory. We paid him Rs 50 and went in.
Later we discovered that they were seniors who fooled on us.
We asked a
student who looked senior about the orientation class. He
pointed to a big room
and asked us to go there. We went there and found that it was a toilet block.
We were again fooled by seniors.
Anyhow, We found a professor-looking man and we asked him about the orientation class. He
told us to wait in the hall
as the class was not yet ready. He told us that the class would start in a few minutes
when some more students would reach.
We were waiting in the hall when a boy told us that the class had begun. We went in and
there was a young gentleman on the dais addressing the students.
As we entered the room, he pointed us to
go on the back to sit
down. He asked another boy to collect 20 rupees each for
handouts. All the students gave 20 rupees each. They had just collected the
money when two professors entered the hall and the boys who were collecting money
for handouts quickly slipped out of
the hall. We were told that those were seniors fooling on us.
The teacher gave
us an orientation of the course and norms and discipline of the college life.
He told us about the various facilities the college offered. He explained various
fields and scope of pre-medical, pre-engineering and ICS.
The principle of the college addressed
us and told us the difference between school life and college life. He inspired
us to be critical and take new steps courageously. That day, I was proud of being a college
student.
After the
orientation class, we were allowed to explore the college. We went into the
library. We also visited various
departments. A boy asked us to come to the playground for a sports period. But we at once
realized that he was a senior. No sports period was in process.
I decided
to take biology
as I found my interest
in the medical field. We left for home as the
formal classes were to commence two days later.
2. My
Last Day at College
My Last day at
college is a memorable day in my life. Whenever I remember this day, my eyes
become wet. It is the day when I parted from my dear friends. The parting from friends
was a hurting experience. That day has engrossed in my memory
and I cannot forget it. My
stay at college and the period I spent there is a valuable one in my life. This
glorious period had to come to an end one day. And that day is April 27, 2019.
“Life is the name of the
movement”
My last day at
college is still present in the core of my memory. It was a day of excitement
and emotions. We, the students of 2nd year were given a farewell party by our
juniors, the students of 1st year. It was never so that I leave for college in time. But that day, I broke
the record and reached the college on time. The teaching sessions were
paused for that special day to say us goodbye.
I reached the
college and met my beloved friends who were now ready to be separated. I had a slight talk with each of them and then we took nice photos
of various portions
of our college. I took some
photos of the library, my classroom, canteen and Computer lab. All these things
and everything of my college
fascinated me on that day. I had strange feelings on that day; it was neither joy
nor sadness.
Now the stage was ready with a farewell
ceremony in our honor. We all reached
the venue and had our seats.
A boy from our juniors recited the verses of the Holy Quran to give a noble
start to the function. Sir Ahmad Ali was the host. He spoke so well on that
day. He is known for his fluent accent and occasion-specific poetry. He is a good
orator. That day, he surprised us by singing to us his own poems.
A sequence
of performances from various participants came to an end and our principal, a great scholar, was invited to the stage to deliver last speech
to us. We were anxious and were eagerly waiting
for the principal to speak.
He made a splendid speech
which not only made us burst into tears but also
filled us with motivation and spirit.
He thanked us for
being part of that institution and told us how much good time he had with us. That day, I first time realized
that our principal had a special attachment with all of us.
“ It is never easy to uphold
listening the words
that sooths you soul and give you extreme
comfort”. (Sober Sandy)
Our principal advised
us to be optimistic in life. He asked us to work hard, to focus on our
strengths, to take the initiatives with courage and the strong belief in Allah.
He also gave many inspirational examples from daily life.
After the ceremony
was over, we were served with Chicken Biryani, Chiken Qoura and Naans. We
enjoyed the meal well. We were talking to each other while eating. Everyone was busy with someone.
The dining hall was full of waves of laughter.
I cannot forget the
taste of that meal. I miss that day so much and the lunch session is a major factor behind this.
After the meal
was over, we met our professors one by one. They all were friendly and helpful. They gave us tips and guidance for future life and career planning. They all gave us
many important pieces of advice. We all thanked them. We also met our juniors
and thanked them for the superb farewell.
It was 3:30 PM when I left for home with a heavy heart after embracing my
best friends with the rain of tears. I was not feeling well while returning
home. I could not sleep that night. The tears were falling
from my eyes when I was trying
to sleep amidst
the painful fact that college period had finished.
3. Visit to a Historical Place
“A people without
the knowledge of their past history, origin
and culture is like a tree
without roots.”
A visit to a
historical place is a happy experience. It gives us a chance to glimpse into
the past. Thousands of tourists from all parts of the world visit Pakistan to have a glimpse of its
important historical places.
Last week,
I and my friend Arshad made up our minds to pay a visit to the tomb of Jahangir. It is a place of historical
interest. My friend had brought his scooter. We left for the historical place
with joy. We reached there after half an hour.
The tomb of
Jahangir was before us. We were happy to see it. First of all, we had a look at
the tomb of Jahangir and were enchanted by its beauty. Jahangir's Tomb is at
Near Shahdara in Lahore
on the other side of the river Ravi.
One can see the four tall minarets
of the tomb from a distance.
We bought
tickets and entered
the main gate. The main gate is tall
and strong. It is made of
red sandstone. The grand building surrounded an area of about two acres. There
are gardens all around. There are evergreen trees along the pathway that leads
to the main building in the tomb.
We were much impressed by the artistic
qualities of architects. The tomb was in front of us. It was built of white marbles Red
sandstones were used here and there. Brown and blue marbles were also freely
brought into use. It was indeed a beautiful piece of architecture in the world. Its workmanship is superb. It holds the visitors
spellbound.
After walking
a little, we reached the tomb itself.
It is a low, large and magnificent edifice. Jahangir, the great Mughal Emperor, sleeps in an inner
room. There is nothing to disturb him now. The tomb is built with coloured
bricks and marble. On the walls of the tomb, there are beautiful coloured
designs. We offered Fateha and blessed his soul. Then we climbed up one of the
minarets. We could see the whole of the city of Lahore. It was a wonderful
sight. It filled our hearts with pleasure. After sometime, we came down.
“When you see the world's glory,
it is how the art has made it.”
It was 2 P.M.
and we were extremely, tired. We were feeling hungry. We, therefore, sat down
in a park under a shady tree. We took our dry lunch which we had brought with
us. After that, we had tea from a nearby tea stall. After taking rest for a while, we visited each and every part of this superb piece
of art. We were deeply impressed to see this work of profound and artistic
skill.
It was now getting
dark. We returned
home, tired but happy. Our visit to Jahangir's Tomb was very rewarding. Seeing is
believing. We enjoyed the visit very much. It was a memorable visit to the
historical place. It will always remain fresh in our minds.
4. Life in a Village
“God made the country,
and man made the town". (William Cowper)
Writers
especially the poets, have always tended to glorify the life of nature. The
contrast between life in a village
and in a city is clear enough
to understand the merits and demerits
of all. Let cover all the parts of village life one by one.
A village has
usually unpaved roads. The roads are narrow and two ways. There is no heavy
rush of traffic on the roads. but now a days the villages have carpeted roads too. The supply
of electricity is available in all the villages now except those who are
situated in extremely far off remote areas especially on the borderline. Supply
of gas is not available in most of the villages except those who are situated
close to big town or cities.
Sewerage and
sanitation conditions in villages are poor. There is no proper sewerage system. The drains are sometimes blocked
and dirty water spreads in the streets.
This condition is also not true for all the villages.
The people of
the villages are hospitable, social and hardworking. They have no hypocrisy, no
greed, and lusts. They lead a simple life. They are healthy, strong and fresh.
There is no speedy life in the villages. People live in big broad houses with
joint family system. They follow their traditions and culture in full abidance.
The people usually
work in the farms and fields. Most of the villagers are
farmers or they work their own private business. Women also work in the field
with their male member of the family. The life of a woman in the village is as
busy as that of a man. The people are not hasty and they enjoy the life full of
taste.
“ Life is a journey, NOT a race.”
The health and
education facilities are not available in all the villages. Although there is a
govt. a primary school in more than 70% of the village yet there is no quality
education institution at the village level.
A large number
of students go to nearby
cities and town for
education daily. The literacy rate is lower in villages as compared to cities.
There is not a
health center at village levels. There are basic health facilities available in
rural areas at Union Council level. The villagers have to take a serious
patient to a nearby city to get the treatment. Health opportunities are even
more in village areas. There are fresh and healthful fruits and vegetables
available in the villages. The people get fewer disease chances when they eat fresh
and healthy food.
These foods are many times
healthy when compared to fast-food in the cities.
The environment of the villages
is peaceful, clean and pollution
free. Due to more trees and
plants, the pollution is in control
in rural areas. There are vast
greet fields which soothe the eyes. The chirping of birds, the
fresh cool breeze in the morning, the colorful fields are really wonderful
things to see in rural areas. The climate is not hard in the rural areas.
Anyhow the
ponds of wastewater and the heaps of household garbage provide safe heavens for the nourishment and reproduction of mosquito reproduction which further causes
diseases.
“There is music for everything going on in the village”
Final words:
A village life has merits and demerits. There is a lack
of facilities like education, health, gas, and utilities,
roads etc. But there is a pollution free, simple, healthful and peaceful
environment in a village. If villages are provided with better infrastructure,
health and education facilities, utilities and employment opportunities, no one would like to live in
cities.
5.
Life in a Big City (City
Life)
There is a saying, "God made the country
and man made the town.
The saying
brings out the difference between country life and city life. Life in a village
is simple and close to nature.
Life in a big city is different from the life of a village. In the city, life is fast and artificial. Life
in a big city is active and inspiring. It is full of activities and interests
as well as full of difficulties and problems.
People have no time at all. They are always busy with their own work. They are in a hurry
and have no time for others. They work from morning till evening and earn their living by
the sweat of their brow. They have no time to rest. They are strictly
tied to their daily routine.
Thus, life in a big city has advantages as well as disadvantages.
City is a place where you find everything except the love of nature
-zahid
In a big city, one
has excellent service for shops and markets. The shops are well stocked and look very attractive. In a big city, a man can purchase everything necessary for life if he has the money for it. There are fine
schools and colleges for boys and girls. In big cities, there are Technical
Colleges, Engineering Colleges and Medical Colleges. Very big cities have
Universities also. There are also many avenues for employment. People with
every kind of qualification can easily find jobs to suit them. In a big city,
there are a number of cinema houses and theatres, where we can enjoy the best
of pictures and dramatic performance. Even the poorest can take part in the
entertainments which a big city offers.
There are also a
number of restaurants and hotels, where we can get food, tea, etc. of the
finest quality. There are also many parks and gardens
where we can enjoy natural
beauty at its best. A walk in
the evening will show that a big city keeps its citizens amused Of. A big city
has many other facilities. In a big city, the roads are broad and metalled. The
modes of transport are easy and swift. A big city has a big police force to
maintain law and order.
When a city offers
everything quick, it offers the death quick too - Sue Grey
In a big city,
we can have prompt medical aid. There are hospitals with the latest medicines
and equipment. A big city has also a large number of private doctors. Big
cities have many disadvantages also. Big cities are surrounded by a large number of factories. The smoke
and industrial waste have made the atmosphere polluted. The air and
water, contain many harmful diseases. Besides this, we cannot get pure milk and
ghee. Life is very costly. Rates are high and new-corners have to put up with a
lot of hardships.
City life is millions
of people being lonesome together. - Henry David
Life in a big city
is not a happy experience nowadays. A rapid increase in population has created many problems. People
are forced to live in small houses
with their families.
People living in big cities do not
have much sympathy
for others. Even next-door neighbours do not know each
other. There is no fellow feeling. Life in a big city is full of noise. There
is no peace of mind at all. It is a pleasant dream for only those who have
resources to live there. Such is the life in a big city.
The city is not a concrete
jungle, it is a human zoo.- Desmond
Moriss
In spite
of the disadvantages of city life, people are attracted
to cities. The government
should improve the condition of the villages in order to stop the rush in big
cities.
6. Use
and Abuses of Mobile Phones
Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life,
it is perhaps the greatest
of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilization, of arts
and science. (Freeman Dyson)
John Milton was of
the view the attitude of someone made a thing good or bad. The thing in itself
is not either good or bad. Ever since the dawn of the era of scientific invention, the scientific
invention, the scientific gadgets have been under debate whether they are good
or bad. Cellular phones are being discussed by various sections of society.
Mobile phones
are just one piece of evidence that the world is, in fact, a global village.
Unlike landlines, the mobile phone does not put restrictions on users to stay
at home or in the office etc. Business executives also want to stay in contact with their customer. In order to enjoy
the confidence of the clients or customers, business executives would like to
have the assistance of cellular phone.
"This is simply magical!
Mobile phones are very useful in emergencies situations. Excellent public administration or maintains of law and order require a consistent watch. If
there is any danger of law and order being disrupted, mobile phones can convey
timely information to public administration and help avert tragedies. Today, mobile phones are not merely communication
devices, they are used as laptops also. This is because of the technological
advancement of Business administration, engineers and other experts use mobile
sets for data management.
Mobile phones
have now taken the name of
smartphones. It means they are smart enough to
do many things
for you. If you are bored, pick up your mobile phone
and listen to a song, watch a funny clip or chat with
your friends. Mobile phones are widely used to surf the internet, chatting
with friends and family, watch movies, take photographs, play games and manage daily affairs like classrooms,
finance, and shopping. There are hundreds and thousands of apps for a business
and or activity. You can take help from mobile phones in every field of life.
On the other hand, a mobile phone has some abuses
also as we know:
"Excess of everything is
bad."
Students make the big misuse of mobile phones.
They spoil themselves by indulging in the
pleasures of mobile phones. They are fond of playing games and video clips etc.
Certainly, this is neither appreciable nor desirable. Besides chatting, music,
and videos, there are so many apps which
are just a waste of time. Students
are attracted to these catchy
apps and spoil their time.
Terrorists can use mobile
phones for exploding
the planted bombs. This has proved to be a big abuse of mobile phone. Instead of
communication of information, a mobile phone set becomes a sophisticated weapon in the hands
of terrorists. Many precious
lives have been ruined by them.
Criminals also use mobile phones to communicate and plan a crime. They keep in
touch with each other all the time and do successful criminal activities
because of mobile phones.
Many youngsters
watch porn videos online and offline in s smartphones. They are too absorbed in fantasy things that they do not care for their health
and education. They will
give more time to smartphones.
Technology is a useful
servant but a dangerous master.
(Christian Lous Lange)
Love affairs
and likewise deceptions are also due to mobile phones. There is a certain type of playful guys and girls of social
media who hurt the feelings of others. That is why depression, aggression, and
stress are also associated with the use of mobile phones.
Mobile phones have created
distances among the people. The people now do not bother to personally go to see a relative and
friend. They just make a phone call and that is all. The people have no less
one-to-one physical interaction. It has significantly changed the attitude of
the people.
We should use
mobile phones only when it is needed. We should use mobile phones only for creative
and positive activities. The parents can keep a watch on their children's phones and activities. Mobile phones can be a real blessing if
we are able to prevent their abuses.
7. College life Essay
The college life
is a master blend of happiness, enjoyment greater sense of responsibility and
hard work. Pleasure and work go hand in hand. We attend lectures; we work in
labs, we take tuition and prepare
for tests. During
a class, a teacher keeps us busy in the lesson
but he has the tricks of creating some humor. He does so to relieve us of
stress and
pressure. Sometimes, we learn that there would be a musical concert right after the exams. That is exciting!
College life has its own colours.
There is youth,
spirit, and desires
all togather.
There is a great
difference between college and school life. A schoolboy has to lead a life full of restrictions. He gets up at
regular hours goes to school daily, does the homework on the same day. Whereas,
a college student
is the master of his own will. He may not attend
a lecture but no one is there to admonish him. He may do some blunders
but no one takes notice of it. There is no check on the freedom of the life of
a college. This kind of freedom after the hard lead life of school gives a
student joy and a sense of responsibility too.
College life gives freedom
of expression.
Every student
has the right to express
himself, both orally
and in form of writing.
He listens to his teachers
and discuses it with classmates and forms his own opinion about a certain
topic. He expresses his opinion in writing also. Closely related, to this, is
the freedom of choice. You have the choice of coming and going studying and bunking
teaming or writing or wasting time and money. Some boys destroy themselves when
they are given such a lenient atmosphere. Although, they repent there is no use
to cry over spilled milk.
“The college
life for those who are not serious
is just a fantacy dream.”
Among all the
freedom and soft rules, brilliant students
do not waste their time. They focus on their studies. They take this
freedom a positive point. They take it as an opportunity to take the life the way they want. They take parts in sports
as part of health and refreshment.
They attend lectures regularly in order to expand their knowledge. They make
sure they benefit all the facilities and educational activities which the
college provides. At the school level, a student is unaware of the prose of
conceptual learning. He just crams the lessons and produces it in the paper. He
is unable to build his own opinion and to incorporate a new idea. However, at
college level textbooks are not the only source of knowledge but students read other
books to expand their
horizon. This thing brings about new approaches and ideas in their field.
Mischief, disobedience, and indiscipline are some salient
features of college
life. Although there is a fair number of a decent
student, sometimes mischievous ones outnumber them very easily. Therefore, the general
concept of a college student in the past was of an insolent arid unruly one.
Nowadays, the situation is not as hard as it had been. Speech declamations,
quiz competitions, debates, and sports are also a remarkable feature of college
life: It can be rightly said about the competitive environment at development.
“What I like the most about college is not its freedom, it is its
sensation.”
The students
learn a sense of freedom, the teamwork, tolerance, cooperation and the spirit
of leadership throughout the college life. If they win, they learn how to
celebrate it. If they lose, they learn to embrace the defeat with courage and
tolerance. They learn from both victory and defeat.
In the end, we can
say that students learn the principle of golden life through trial and error, reading,
testing, competitions, social interaction, and various sports.
The college life is an opportunity for everyone and he
should get the maximum out of it. The charms of cottage life are enjoyable but
they can be traps for those who are irresponsible and immature. However,
college life is an unforgettable experience and the one who misses it cannot
find an alternative for the rest of life.
8. Role of Women in Our Society
In the past,
the role of women was limited to the four walls of the house. The sphere of
activities was very narrow. They were not allowed to participate in political, cultural,
social and literary activities.
They could not
play any for a constructive role outside the house. They were considered physically and spiritually
dubicious.
The picture
of women in pre-Islamic Arab society was shocking parents
were ashamed of having female children. The girls were
buried alive. Women were treated as means of carnal pleasure. Among the great
religions of the world, Islam is the only one which restored the grace and
dignity of women.
Holy Prophet (P.B.U.FI) said:
“Paradise is under the feet of the mother."
In the changing
world of today, women are playing a very significant role in the development of society. They are proving
their worth and value in every sphere
of life such as
trade, industry, politics, administration. scientific research.
literary and artistic
activities. Now, they are considered suitable for every job.
Even in
Pakistan, women are doing positive activities towards the welfare of society.
In various departments, they are working
as nurses. air hostesses, clerks,
stenotypists, sale
girls, police’
and military officers. If we wish to see our country progressing by leaps and
bounds women should be allowed
to work shoulder
to shoulder with men in every field of
life. We should get rid of conservative thinking and accept the reality that
women are an integral part of civil society.
No doubt,
the greatest and the most prestigious role of a woman is a mother.
The working woman will have
to prove that she can be a good mother as well as a good worker.
“Men are what their mother made them". (Emerson)
The present
picture of the west is morally disregarding. In the name of emancipation and
feminism, immoral activities are being justified. It is wrong that everything
fair or foul is acceptable in the name of modernism. Women
are actually the most important
and virtual part of society.
9. Co-Education
Co-education
refers to a situation where we are "teaching the boys and girls together
OR we involve students of both the sexes in the learning process at a single
place or classroom". Though co-education is common in European countries, it is not so in Pakistan.
In Pakistan, there is co-education in some colleges and schools, but most of
the colleges and schools have separate education for boys and girls.
Co-education has
remained a controvertial issue in our country. Some people are in favour of
this system and want to introduce it at all schools and colleges. They give
many arguments in its favour. Their main argument is that in a poor and
backward country like Pakistan it is impossible to maintain separate
institutions. Therefore, co-education should be opened to girls also. It would be good for the progress
of the country, raise the standard
of education and it will promote competition among boys and girls.
The other
group gave the reason against these arguments: that in tropical countries sex-
consciousness develops at an early
age. It is, therefore, not advisable to offer opportunities to the boys to mix with the
girls freely.
It has been
observed that the real reason why some people support co-education is that they like western culture.
They want to be
more English because the west has co-education so they must have it. But we
have to see whether our religion, culture, and social system allow us to adopt co-education. We can say that they
certainly not allow us to adopt such a system.
I am, however, of
the view that if co-education is inevitable one would agree to it. But it is
not a necessary evil. If it is to be adopted at all, we should adopt it only at
the primary or elementary level. At the secondary level and higher secondary
level, we should adopt a separate system of education. By adopting this system
at secondary and higher secondary levels, we will only be able to promote vulgarness in our society.
This type of co-education,
if adopted, will do more harm than good to our country.
10.
My Aim in Life (Ambition)
A man without any ambition cannot progress in this world.
He achieves nothing
in life. He has no goal or destination. He does not
have any desire to make a start. He tosses about like a straw in the wind. So,
every young person should have an ambition for his career.
It is a fact that
progress, peace, and prosperity are the result of human ambitions. It is the
ambition that urges us forward. But simply having an ambition is not enough.
Ambition must be backed up by continuous efforts
to achieve it. If a man sets an ambition
before him but does nothing to achieve it, will
never achieve anything. His ambition is no more than an unreal dream.
There are as many
aims as men. The nature of ambition is different from man to man. It depends
upon his family background, upbringing, economic position, and social status.
Some people want to be doctors, other to be engineers or civil and military
officers. The ambition of some other persons
is to earn wealth and fame that even after their death their
names live on. Thus we find people striving to become up sportsmen, poets,
novelists, artists, educationists, film stars etc.
As for myself, the sole object
of my life is to lead a life of simplicity and goodness. therefore my ambition in life is to
become a teacher. I have my own reasons for this. First, about fifty percent of
the people in my country are illiterate. They are all in ignorance. By becoming
a teacher, I will be able to remove illiteracy and ignorance. Secondly, though
teaching is not paying profession, yet it is one of the noblest profession. The
best people in the world are those who
learn to teach others. This profession will enable me to translate into my life the principles of simple living and high thinking. I hope to perform this stupendous task. Thirdly this profession calls for a sense
of dedication and missionary zeal. I possess both the qualities beyond measure.
Fourthly, I will serve my country by producing better citizens.
The students of
today are citizens of tomorrow. By being a teacher, I will be able to make my humble
contribution to the building of my nation.
I will also be able to inculcate
a sense of patriotism,
nationalism, and responsibility in my students.
In the light of above-mentioned reasons,
I am convinced that my decision
is right. I will,
therefore, leave no stone unturned to achieve this ambition of my life.
11.
Patriotism (Why I Love Pakistan)
Such is the patriot's
boast, wherever we roam, His first, best country ever is at home.
Patriotism means
love and loyalty
to one's country.
A true patriot would willingly die for the honour of his country if there is a
danger to her freedom. As it said:
Lovely and honourable! It is to die for one's country.
It is the one of
the most exalted and inspiring experience. Many a time, even
the weaker nations fought so bravely against
the aggressors that the whole world was surprised. The Greek conqueror was so much impressed
by his volour and boldness that he freed him along with titles and his country.
We cannot forget or underestimate the patriotism and determination of Tipu Sultan
who fought against the armies of the English and the Marathas. He was a
man who was intoxicated with the love of his country and stirred to action by
his deep concern for the freedom of the Indians against the rule of the East
India company.
Being a great patriot,
he fought against the selfish people and the foreign power and modernized
Turkey to make it fit for the respectable people to live in. The patriotism of
a nation shows how much life and honour
it has got. Weaker nation always come to see bad
times when they lose love for their country.
I only regret that I have but only one life to lose for my country.
Patriotism has
been called infectious because it usually inspires good and noble deeds.’ A man
who has so much regard for the other, people's interests as for his own, will
never stoop to evil acts. The Greeks were ideal patriots. Each of them become a solider when the
country was in danger from this flowed their respect of the freedom of other
peoples.
When the political and social
conditions become bad in the country, patriotism inspires certain noble soule to reform the country: They are snubbed
from all sides,
but they have the
will and determination to reform. Quid-e-Azam laid great stress upon such a patriotic
spirit. Once, addressing to student, he said: .
It was the duty of all patriotic Pakistanis to uproot
all evil things. And that over country could
become respectable and prosperous only if educated
people should a will
to reform things.
It is the responsibility of all educated
and sensible people
to cultivate and develop a true
patriotic spirit which means the readiness to serve one’s country in war and
peace. One should not think that
Patriotism means fighting
against other nation.
The stress is upon doing
good to our own
country and harm to none.
Swim or sink, live or die, survive
or perish with my country
was my unalterable determination.

My Hero in History
A hero is a man of
graceful personality. He has an exemplary character with distinctive deeds. He is the man
who introduces ingenious ideas to make history.
He must be a man of
exceptional qualities of heart and mind, unparalleled vigor and unique talent.
Muslim history is replete with great leaders. M.A. Jinnah is the bright star of
his galaxy.
I would always remember Quaid-e-Azam” who has served as a role model for
the generations to come. He is like a guiding star providing direction
to the people of Pakistan.
Quaid-e-Azam was
born in Karachi on December 25, 1876.
He was a very intelligent student. On passing
the Matriculation examination, he went to England to study law. After
four years, he as a barrister and started his practice in law in Karachi.
Later, he shifted to Bombay and became one of the leading lawyers.
Quaid-e-Azam” was
a great- freedom fighter. In those days, the Indian national congress was
striving for freedom from British rule in India. Mr. Jinnah became its member
and started working for the freedom of the country. In 1906, All Indian Muslim
League was formed to safeguard
the rights of the Muslims.
Mr. Jinnah also fought for the rights of the Muslims.
Quality, not quantity. should
be the measure of one's character. (Douglas
Jerrold).
He believed in the
co-operation and teamwork. The Muslim League and the Congress fought for a common purpose against
the British. It was mainly
due to his efforts that luck
now pact was signed by both the parties. This pact recognized the Muslim's
claim for a separate electorate but the congress was becoming entirely a Hindu
lobby. So, Quaid-e-
Azam” left the
congress when he came to know about its anti-Muslim agendas. Quaid-e- Azam” was a dynamic
leader. He devoted
himself fully to the affairs
of the Muslim League.
He presented the demands of the Muslims
in his famous fourteen points at the round table conference in London.
Personality is to man what perfume
is to flower. (Charles Lamb)
By 1940,
Quaid-e-Azam” was convinced that the Muslims could not hope for justice under
the Hindu majority. Therefore, in March 1940,
the Muslim League,
under his presidentship, passed a resolution which
demanded the division of India. It demanded an independent Muslim state
comprising Muslim majority provinces. His sincere efforts bore fruit and
Pakistan appeared on the world map on 14th August 1947.
Quaid E Azam became
the 1st Governor-general of Pakistan. He worked hard day and night
for the progress of the young nation. He did not listen to the advice of the
doctors to take rest and died on 11th September 948. Quaid E Azam will always
live in the hearts of Pakistanis as the father of the nation. His words ‘Faith,
unity and discipline” will always inspire the people in their struggle for
nation-building.
A man of courage
is also full of faith.
(Cicero)

Uses and abuses of Science
Science has dominated our lives. We cannot think of reversing
our lives back to the technology-free era.
Science being a mother of invention has created a new world
with its bloodless revolution.
Man
has invented
machines in countless number for the benefits and comforts of a human being. Science
has brought a marvelous revolution in the modern world. All progress of a
country depends upon the progress in science.
“ Science is the systematic classification of experience.”
Science has
both merits and demerits. Its services are as many as its disservices. It has
dominated time and space. It needs only a few hours to reach the furthest corner
of the world. Fast moving
trains, buses, airplane, and steamships enable man to travel long distance without
any difficulty. Today man flies like birds in the air, We can now see and
hear an eminent scholar,
speaking in America.
England and China.
So, it appears that the world has shrunk.
Science has done a wonderful job by controlling human sufferings. Most of the diseases are being cured with newly discovered
drugs. Millions of lives have been snatch off from the clutches of death.
rather some. of its performances are not less than a miracle. In the past. such
achievement was only possible for gods.
“Science is nothing but an image of truth”
All the
present requirements have been increased tremendously bur science does not give
up hope of feed the ever growing population. The mighty forces of water have
been controlled by science. Science has devised ways and methods to harness
water for the sciences of humanity.
However, all these benefits are of no importance before the evils and
horrors of science. Science has destroyed countless lives by fatal weapons. The
hundred- year war cannot at all be compared with six-year war that was fought
from 1939-1945. It is shouldering to think of the atrocity of the atomic bomb.
Generally, it is thought
that it is really
science which is to be blamed for all these
calamities. Man has now heaps of destructive scientific weapons.
“All war is the symptom of man's failure
as a think animal.”
On the other hand,
seienee has bent the forces
of natures and put them at the command of man.
Now, it is up to him whether he uses them for the betterment of man or for his destruction.
There is nothing like absolute good in the world. Everything has bright as well
as dark aspect. Science is capable of both good and evil. Now, it is a man who
has to decide whether he should devote himself God or Satan.
He may mould this world into a paradise.
But all depends upon his free will.
We should be optimistic and hope that this world
will emerge as the above new world.
“The future belongs to science and those who make friends
with science.”

Courtesy
“ A man without
a sense of courtesy is an animal
with the human
form” - Francis Bacon
Courtesy may be defined as the practice of ideal moral
and social behaviour with others.
It simply means to exhibit decent manners and polite attitude
towards others. Courtesy
is an
act of civility and decent behaviour. A courteous man is modest and tasteful
in his words and acts.
Courtesy is of
huge importance in our lives. We cannot live a smooth, peaceful and social life without
being courteous. Courtesy
adorns our character
and outshines our personality.
Courteous behavior not only keeps us united in the family but also build
durable and long- lasting relations.
“The small courtesies sweeten
life; the greater
ennoble it” - Christian Nestell
Bovee
We have to show
courtesy in every walk of life. We must be courteous to our elders, our
youngers, our seniors, our juniors, our neighbours and friends. It is the law
of nature that "as you sow, so shall you reap". Being courteous, you can expect
the same behaviour
from others. Do respect, have respect. Courtesy is a two-way behaviour.
It may not be possible that one is rude and harsh and others will be courteous
and soft.
Being a Muslim, if
we look at the life of Our Prophet (PBUH), we find that he was even courteous with his enemies.
He never spoke harshly with anyone. That is why he became the most popular and most
prestigious leader in the world's history. We can also try to follow his
footsteps.
There are various occasions
where we can show courtesy
to others. This is very simple and easy. We can frequently use courteous
words like 'sorry', 'thank you' or 'excuse me', 'please' it's ok etc. It does
not take our time, force and money to use these words frequently.
“When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes
irresistible” - Mahatma Gandhi
When we can
offer our seat to an old fellow
while traveling on the public bus.
We can give our turn to a woman or an old person while standing in the queue.
We can say 'ladies first' giving respect to women.
Similarly, we can guide a stranger in the way. We can help the patients find
their doctors in the hospitals; we can offer our lunch to our fellow workers.
We can even do our own work. This is also courtesy.
“The best amongst
you is the one whose
manners are the best” - Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH)
Other forms of
courtesy are forgiving the people for their mistakes. We should not get hyper on miner mistakes
of others or the miner damage which others do to us accidentally.
Calling others by their right full names, admiring others, showing respect to
others,
preferring others,
sacrificing for others,
giving others warm hugs and warm welcomes
are also courtesy.
Courtesy make
society worth living. Many social evils, deteriorating relationships,
individuality, fights and quarrels, enmities,
and hatred are outcomes of the lack of courtesy in society. Courtesy brings about
smiles everywhere. It brings people closer to each other.
