  Essay No. 7 -- A Rainy Day --             Rain brings rest, relief and rainbow especially when it is the month of July. I still remember a similar day. It was, perhaps, 1st July. The sun was hot and bright. Its rays were like   needles   pricking our bodies. The wind was like the blast of furnace . Everybody was perspiring from top to toe. Roads and   streets were deserted and desolate. Birds, beasts and men all wanted to sit in the shade and drink cold water. With their dry tongues, they were praying for rain. At about four in the evening, a   patch of cloud appeared in the sky. As it is said, How can you tell the rain not to fall when clouds exist? How can you tell the leaves not to fall when wind exists? Soon cool and pleasant breeze started to blow. Then lightning flashed across the sky and a loud thunder filled the air. With it, the rain began to fall. Within a short time, it was raining by...

  Essay No. 6 -- Health --                        Health is freedom from disease and sickness. Without health, we cannot do any work and we cannot improve in life. So, health is the primary need for every one of us. As it is wisely said, “Health is wealth.” Health is really the best wealth. It is better than grain and gold. It is much better than land or building. You may be the master of millions. You may have vast property. But if you have no health, you cannot enjoy your goods. As it is rightly said, “So many people waste their health in gaining wealth. But then, they have to spend their wealth to regain their health.” Those who are wealthy may not always be healthy but the healthy people are always wealthy. Mankind has really put greater value on wealth among all other things in the world. Unfortunately, health is hard to catch with wealth. As it is said, “Money cannot buy health, but I‘d spend diam...

  Essay No. 5 --   LIBRARIES   -- Someone has wisely said, “ A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life. ” It is beyond controversy that the libraries are for the benefit of the people. They produce better citizens, hap­pier people and finally a better society.   As it is rightly said, “A good library is a place or a palace where the lofty spirits of all nati on s and generati on s meet.” Libraries are very important for the progress and development of a society. They are storehouse of knowledge. Libraries help to develop reading habits. They mould the character. They help us in the development of our personality. “A room without a book is like a body without a soul.” Libraries furnish in­formation on all subjects, provide the means of self-education, and stimulate continuous education to help men and women to parti­cipate intelligently in a. democratic society. As it is wisely said, “If information is the currency of democracy,...

  Essay No. 4 -- COURTESY -- Someone has wisely said, "Courtesy is a small act but it packs a mighty wallop" Courtesy means showing good manners and polite behaviour. It is the result of one’s inner kindness and affection. One who shows courtesy is called courteous man. He remains pleasant and polite to everyone. As it is rightly said, “Life is so short, but there is always time for courtesy." He always takes care of the feeling of others. He observes good manners on all occasions and always respects the feelings of others. He respects others and is respected by all. As it is wisely said, “He who shows courtesy reaps friendship, and who plants kindness gathers love”. Love begets (produces) love and politeness begets politeness. The essence (spirit) of the teachings of Islam concerning human behaviour lies in commandment. Therefore, to create a peaceful and happy atmosphere, we must be kind to everyone. As it is said, "Do unto others as you wish o...

  Essay No. 3 MY HOUSE The saying, “East or West, home is the best” is true in more ways than one. Desire for a shelter place is natural in all living creatures. Birds may wander the whole day long but come back their nests in the evening. Cattle may roam about in search of grazing field but return in the evening to their resting place. As it is wisely said, “Man is considered to be the best of all the creatures” Therefore, for man, a house is an important necessity. It is nearly impossible to think about the life of man without house. It plays an important role in the life and has wide-ranging effects for a person. It is just like the lap of a mother. A mother’s lap gives comfort to a child and the house also gives comfort to its owners. House offers affection and security. Therefore, what comfort I feel in my house, I do not feel anywhere. As it is rightly said, “He is the happiest, may be he is king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.” By the grace of A...

  Essay No. 2 SPORTS AND GAMES   Some one has wisely said, “Health is wealth.” Games and Sports cater to the all-round development of personality, character and health of children. Sound mind is ensured in a sound body. As it is said, “A sound body has a sound mind”. Psychologically speaking, sports and games are biological and social necessity for children. They are as important for human body as food, grains and fresh water. They keep us active, healthy and smart. As it is rightly said, “He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything” Sports and games are extra-curricular activities. They are an important part of our school curriculum. They offer us a change from the monotony of daily life. It is a useful means of entertainment and physical activity. Sports and games help in character building. “Sports do not build character. They reveal it”. Good sportsmen have promising future to work. So play ground is said to be the "uncovered school...

  Essay No. 1 MY LAST DAY AT SCHOOL/College              The last and the first days at school/college are of unique significance for students. As the first day is the day of hope, happiness and expectations as well as anxiety, fear and nervousness, on the other hand, “The last day at school /college  is surely a day of hope,  confidence and stability”. It is indeed pathetic incident on one's part to be departed from one's near and dear colleagues. But it comes in everybody's life just as the sun sets in the west at the time of twilight. I experienced the sorrowful incident when I was about to appear the Bo ard  Annu al  Examination. It is a tradition to bid farewell to the students of class 10 th /12th by the students of class 9th/1st. It was in the month of March that one day; our teacher entered the class dramatically and conveyed the message that a farewell meeting would be held in the spacious hall of the school /c...
