A Bad Workman Quarrels with His Tools

A Bad Workman Quarrels with His Tools

There is ample truth in the saying that bad workman quarrels with his tools. A bad students who fails in the annual examination will like to lay the blame of his failure at the door of those second hand books which his father bought for him and which do not contain, as he himself puts it, up-to-date information. He may also attribute a part of the blame to the environment of the house which interfered substantially with his concentration on the studies. But he will be the last person to hold himself responsible for the failure.

He has an ego and the demand of the ego is that he should not confess his own fault and limitation which, in themselves, are responsible for his failure or loss. Similarly, if a radio machine is incapable of finding out the defect in your radio setting it right, he will postpone the issue by saying that he has not with him then the proper has to handle or test same parts of the radio.

Men with a little beauty are haughty and vain, they are always trying to conceal their shortcomings from their friends or customers. On the other road, a really learned and wise man never quarrels with his tool, never puts the blame for his own failure on other factors with a view of hiding his faults and limitation. He is polite and not in the best show, if he cannot handle a job, he will lose no time in telling you that his is incapable of performing the job and that you should better hire the services of some more competent head.

Farewell Party at School

Farewell Party at School

There is a tradition in every school that the junior students give a farewell to the senior most and outgoing students. Every student who begins school life must end it one day. I had studied in this school for six years. During my stay in the school I had learnt to respect and love every aspect of my school. The teachers meant so much as they gave me guidance at the most needed hour. The hour to leave school had come; it was indeed with a heavy heart that I thought of the breaking ties.

Our farewell party was to be organized by the XI class students under the supervision of then teacher. Each one of us was given an invitation card for the party by juniors. On their invitation we reached school at 2:30 p.m. juniors had organized a grand send off. They had beautifully decorated the auditorium. On the stage there were our honourable Principle, Vice-Principal and other member of the staff.

The cultural program started with the speeches by the students of XI class. They presented other programs like song, dancer, mimicry, skits. Some students from both the classes recited touching couples and poems befitting the occasion.

When the cultural program was over, one of our class students treated the Principal, teacher and juniors. Our teachers gave us some helpful sermons for the future life. Lastly the Principal advised us some points to follow for our forthcoming exams. Then the function came to an end.

Refreshments were served to all students. Each students of our class was gifted a pen by the juniors. We took leave from our teachers and friends with heavy hearts. Everyone tried to take cheerful though there was sadness in the air. 

School times are the best times; this was the time where I learnt that nothing lingers for long and that life demands a person to move on.

Last Sunday I woke up early in the morning. The weather that day was very pleasant cool breeze was blowing and the sky, too was cloudy. I felt like going act for a walk.

I called my friend Sem, with the idea in mind to ask him to join me for a morning walk. He at once agreed to join me.

Very soon we found our self in the lap of nature and were breathing fresh and cool air. Everything around us looked fresh and green. Every row and then same little drop of rain would drop on over head. This would add to over joy and freshness. 

The birds were chirping on the tree tops. The dew drops on the beds of grass looked like little pearls. Little sparrows were flattering in the air. Butterflies were fitting from flower to flower. Nature seemed to be at her best at that time.

The scene now appeared on the eastern horizon. Its rays seemed to be struggling to thorough the clouds that had begun to look red. The scenery at that time was breather talking. In the mean time shepherds had some out with their flocks of cows and sheep. Their hearts were full of joy. Their lips were humming some sweet song of life.

Soon we reached near a lack and we dipped our feet in the fresh, cool water. It was time to return home.

With unwilling steps I returned home, with memories of my morning walk. Morning walks refresh over mind and body – it is a way to stay healthy.

The Pleasure Of College Life

The Pleasure Of College Life

College life has joy, romance, beauty and attraction of its own. It is an enjoyable period. There is a would of difference between the school life and the college life. In a school, students are just like birds in a cage. They are afraid of their teachers and have no freedom of movement or liberty of speech. But in a college the students are relatively free. They have the liberty to think, feel and state their opinion. They meet professors on equal footing. The atmosphere of freedom has a healthy influence on the young minds. Students dress themselves in the best of clothes and wander about like peacocks. A college is a nursery of fashions, particularly in dress. College life provides an opportunity to the students to develop their personality. They take part in various academic and cultural activities. They develop the capacity to organise functions and participate in them. College life develops their head and heart. It is one of the most important periods when students can develop their hidden talents. Someone has rightly said that there is no knowledge without college. It is actually the seed-time in the life of a student. It paves the way for a prosperous and healthy life in the years to come. Those who make the best of their time at college find sauces waiting for them. An idler or time-killer repents in his future life. So the pleasure of college life can at best be translated into a better future.
