If I were an actor, I would obviously like to step into the shoes of the veteran actor, Amitabh Bachan. To achieve his popularity would be my ambition, and the love he commands from people around the globe my ultimate goal. First and foremost, I would like to be very technical and professional. To attain these qualities, it would first be necessary to join a film Institute to get training in good and exemplary acting. What I consider most important in acting is to get the expressions right. ADVERTISEMENTS: Expressions for any given role should be perfect and, for that I think I would have to learn to step into the skin of the role I would take up. This art would be mastered by me for, I think this…

The family system is the most conspicuous bond in the social scheme of things. This bond ties people to each other with invisible strings of love and care, each one bonded to all others in his/her entirety. The family that consists of the elder’s brothers, sisters and children are all bound to each other no matter how far away they may be from each other physically.The family is the inspiration of each individual member and, above all, it is the objective for which each individual member lives and works. The encouragement from the family helps one to achieve marathon goals, and it is the family only that, at time forces a person to adopt the wrong path. Thus the family is of so much importance to every member that, its…

Today a school without games and sports is unthinkable, as sports and games have become an integral element of present-day education. Formerly teaching consisted of merely imparting the basic skills of 3R’s (Reading, Writing and Arithmetic).But true learning is much more than that. Today education is an all-round development of the child. In this respect games and sports play a significant role. It is in this backdrop that most schools organise their Annual Sports Day.Last year, my school’s Annual Sports Day was held on 20th Oct. Generally a month of preparation precedes the day. A month prior to the event, all the children of the school were divided into four houses and respective sports groups such as senior, junior and sub-junior. Once the children are allotted their houses and groups,…

Today ‘games and sports’ have become an integral part of the present- day school education. Of late educationists, teachers and school administrators have come to realise the importance of sports and games in school life.Once upon a time games and sports were looked upon merely as a ‘period of break’ to extend the muscles, and to give a time of rest to the students. But today its value has been mostly recognised, and is considered as an integral part of school curriculum.One of the prime considerations in having games and sports in school is to develop the inborn sports talents of students. If proper opportunities are given, young children full of energy and vigour can excel in sports and games. ADVERTISEMENTS: School is not only a place to develop student’s…

it has been remarked, ” Hero– worship is the most favourite pastime of most Indians”. Perhaps it is very true. In India wherever you go, you hear of people talking of their favourite heroes and heroines. For some others, it is Amir Khan or Shah Rukh Khan or Karishma Kapoor.For many sports lovers, it is Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Saurav Ganguly or Sachin Tendulkar.
