SUCH WE MADE THE PLASTIC MOUNTAIN ON EARTH

The Mother Nature, long suffocated, is now -dying!
And if she goes, my tears will never stop;
For as a lover, I can’t squeeze out one drop:
I am undone, that’s all—shall lose my life—
I’d rather, but that’s nothing—lose my heart..

Be cautious!! A dried land is waiting, the dried air is alarming …because the womb is getting dried…the womb of mother earth. She is chocked and suffocated by the excess wastage of plastic on her face. Her most beloved children deny the breath to her.
Being the most loved children of Mother Earth, we have the responsibility and obligation to protect her life. Since, we, the human race destroyed her beauty and charm by disturbing her beautiful mountains, ever charming river beds and even her chirping siblings , we have to offer, at least, a future where ensured of smooth breathing.
WATER AND AIR, the two essential factors, on which all life depends, have become GLOBAL GARBAGE CANS… Plastic is becoming a curse on the ecological system. According to the studies, we use 500 billion plastic bags each year and we buy a million plastic bottles each minute. Thus we make plastic mountains on the lap of mother earth. 8 million tons of plastic is clogging ocean water each year. In 2050 ocean will carry more plastic than the fish.

Nature rages…
‘If you can’t reuse it, you may refuse it..or else you will end up in yourown curse’. Let us think and act to protect her,to protect ourself ,to protect the future generation and THUS WE WILL MAKE ourself the true children of our mother..

Pleasure seems sweet, but proves a glass of bitters.
When Ignorance enters, Folly is at hand;

Tips to Improve your English Communication Skills

Practicing speaking is one of the most fun and rewarding parts of learning English. Once you can speak even a little English, there are loads of ways to improve your skills quickly while having tons of fun. Here are some top tips for improving your spoken English and having a great time while you do it!

Speak, Speak, Speak!

Be confident and speak as often as possible to as many people as possibly you can! Do not be shy to make mistakes! The more you practice the better and more confident you will become in your pronunciation and vocabulary. Remember, speaking is a skill like learning a musical instrument or new sport – the only way you can get good is to actually do it!

Use technology

A smartphone can be a powerful tool for learning languages. Use it to record yourself speaking then listen back to see how your English sounds to other people. Make the most of all your favourite productivity apps to organise your practice time and make a note of all the new words you learn.

Listen

Listen to news bulletins and songs in English to listen to the pronunciation of words. You can also learn new words and expressions this way. The more you listen, the more you learn! Try copying what you hear to practise your pronunciation and learn which words in a sentence are stressed.

Read out loud

Read the newspaper or a magazine out to yourself. You could even find a script for your favourite TV show and act it out! This is a great way to practise pronunciation because you only need to concentrate on making sure you English sounds great and don’t need to worry about sentence structure or grammar.

Learn a new word every day

Choose a word you would like to work on and use practice it in different sentences. Use the word until you have learnt it and keep using it regularly.

Watch films

Watch movies in English and pay attention to new vocabulary and pronunciation. Imitate the actors and have fun with it.

Make friends

Make friends with English speakers or others learning to speak English and compare notes. Talk about things that you have learnt and exchange ideas.

Do interesting activities in English

Take a cooking course in English or join a book club! Anything you enjoy doing, make sure you do it and communicate it in English. Using English to talk about things you enjoy will make practising a positive experience.

Have a debate

Debate all the topics that interest you with friends in English. Try to use as much vocabulary as you can to get your point across and listen to the other arguments carefully so you can argue against them effectively.

Use a dictionary

Online dictionaries often have audio examples so you can check your pronunciation and there are lots of great dictionary apps that you can take everywhere with you on your smartphone. Make sure not to become too reliant on these tools, though. Have a go at saying the words first then check afterwards to see if you were right!

A Message to My Dear Child

            

            My dear daughter seated at the table.

            Before an open book, so eager to sample;

            Historical legends and Inventions of old,

            Theories of Science, Industrial Maps of the World.

            Problems in Mathematics, Complex Chemical Reactions;

            Grammar, Syntax, Evolution and Languages of the World.

            Know my darling, that Knowledge is great;

            But only second to Imagination with its Power to Create.

            Knowledge teaches Man how to climb on high,

            Yet only Imagination will help him to cross the sky.

            When Knowledge reported , ‘ We cannot fly !’

            Imagination suggested , ‘What if we try?’

            Think how Leonardo long before planned human flight.

            And Edison from a flickering Candle led us to Light.

            How did we journey from Coal to Nuclear Fission?

            And India plan its Moon and later Mars Mission?

            So Dear Child , Fire up Imagination!

            And I’ll guide your Education to strengthen your Vision.

            Start Today! Explore you World untold!

            Speak up your Mind, Step out Confident and Bold.

            Read out the Library, Hunt down your Google,

            Write up some literature, Build up your journal.

            And  then as your Vision unfolds you’ll see,

            Planet Earth is the best place to be.

Raman Effect

Raman effect or Raman scattering is popularly known as an inelastic scattering of a photon.

When light is scattered from an atom or molecule, most photons are elastically scattered with almost the same energy (frequency) and wavelength as the incident photons. But a small fraction of the photons is scattered by excitation. The frequency of scattered photons is lower than the frequency of the incident photons.
