Intro to Kobe Bryant’s Life

Kobe Bryant was born in Philadelphia to Joe Bryant and Pamela Cox Bryant and had two elder sisters named Sharla and Shaya. He fell in love with basketball “from the moment he started rolling his dad’s tube socks and shooting imaginary game-winning shots.” From an early age, Bryant played basketball and football and was a fan of the basketball team ‘Los Angeles Lakers’ and the football team ‘AC Milan.’ He played basketball at Lower Merion High School and won them a state championship after 53 years. Bryant was named Pennsylvania Player of the Year and got attention from college recruiters in the process.
Bryant wrote the poem “Dear Basketball” in 2015 and narrated a short film of the poem two years later. His work won an Academy Award for the best animated short film and in 2018 Bryant published the book The Mamba Mentality: How I Play which explained his approach to basketball and the nickname he put upon himself when he played, “The Black Mamba.” Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant were among a group of nine people going to a girls basketball game in a helicopter when it crashed into a hillside, killing all the people aboard. Over the course of his lifetime, Kobe Bryant had a major impact on the people around him. He didn’t just win everyone’s hearts by playing basketball, but all the other smaller things too. Kobe Bryant was a legend.

About Me

 Hi, I am Neil I came to this planet in the Year 2009, making me 11 years old now.

 As a little kid, I was fascinated by dinosaurs. I researched them and my favorite is the t-rex. I still remember having a book in which it would show crazy ways the dinosaur could help you in real life. I also remember that when I was little, before sleeping, my grandma told me Indian mythological stories such as the Ramayan. 

As a kid,  I also liked going on vacation to resorts especially with big pools. I am not a big fan of beaches, as I don’t like sand on my skin.

I live in New Jersey in The USA with my parents, grandparents, and a 7-year-old sibling. 

I enjoy reading books, I can read books all day 🙂 Some of my favorite book series are Percy Jackson, 39 clues, and  Harry Potter. I also like to write fiction stories about monsters.

I like playing outside. I like most sports but my favorite is soccer.  I also like to bike around my neighborhood.  

 I also just started to play the violin. 

I like pizza, ice cream, and cake. My favorite fruit is mango because it is very sweet.

Last year was an interesting year as we moved to a new neighborhood and a new school. 

Like most of you, I also had to switch to online school because of the Coronavirus. 

Now about my Summer break. I have to go to online classes instead of going places some of my online classes are coding, Stem Ninja math, and speech. Recently I started playing Minecraft, which is very cool.

  The best part of the break was staying at my cousin’s place and playing games. Helped my cousin with his college application and build his  Rube Goldberg project. 

I have four best friends and we used to do sleepovers and have playdates now because of coronavirus we cannot. We played many games such as tag and laser tag.

After the summer break, I will have to start middle school online from Woodrow Wilson Middle school. This would be my first year of middle school and I am very excited about that.

I wish for the good old times to return soon. If there was no coronavirus I would not stay in my house 24 7 instead I could be playing with my friends or going on vacation. 

Speaking of vacation I like to go on vacation one of my favorite places to vacation in India. Most of my relatives live in India such as my grandparents, aunt, uncle, and lots and lots of cousins. 

The Importance of Net Neutrality

Net neutrality is something about which you may not know. But it is of utmost importance in the age of the internet. In this blog post, I will explain to you what net neutrality is, why it is so important, and ways that it is being jeopardized.  

First of all, what is net neutrality? Net neutrality is a law that prohibits internet service providers such as Verizon and Jio from discriminating on internet traffic. This essentially means that they have to treat all internet traffic equally. They can’t deliberately slow down some traffic or speed up other traffic. For example, if Amazon bribed Verizon into slowing down the traffic from all of the other online shops, this would be illegal and they would be punished. Conversely, if Verizon slowed down the traffic from Amazon and tried to blackmail them into paying money, Amazon could take Verizon to court and win easily. 

Why is this important to the average consumer like you and me? This is important because the user experience of some sites could deteriorate quite a lot if the service providers try anything like that. For example, back in December of 2013 people who used Comcast experienced a sharp drop in quality of the streaming from Netflix. The video quality was about half as good as before, and the videos were buffering much more than before. Users of Netflix and Comcast suffered from this for two months before Netflix and Comcast struck a deal. This is luckily not that common, but imagine what would happen if they tried to do something like this to something much more popular like YouTube or Google. Things like this only will make the internet worse for everyone as it undermines the fact that the internet was made for people to communicate and view content as they wish, consumers shouldn’t have to suffer like this just because their internet service provider(which they already pay for) wants even more money. Not to mention the fact that this by principle ruins the purpose of the internet(to freely communicate). 

How is net neutrality be being jeopardized? This is mainly in the US, but the US has a large influence over the rest of the world and is the third-largest consumer of the internet behind India and China. In 2017, President Donald Trump appointed Ajit Pai to be the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission(FCC). This is the Commission that enforces and passes laws that regulates everything internet-related in the US. He is firmly anti-net-neutrality and rolled back a lot of the regulations that were created to ensure net-neutrality.   As of right now, the FCC no longer enforces this law and it is up to the individual states to do so. To make this even worse, many countries follow the US a lot in these situations, so this could really affect many, many people.

I hope you have a good understanding of this issue now. 

If I could change one thing about the world I would…….

Don’t you have a hard time to decide? Don’t worry. You are not alone. We all are like that. But, what if your decision could affect the entire world? Now that’s even more stressful than normal.

 

Now, if I was given this responsibility, I would bring a change in the education system of the world. Don’t you hate learning more than what you need? Me too. What I would do is from 8th grade, you have a choice to choose your own course which makes it easier for many children who has difficulty in other subjects. Then, there won’t be a public exams like Board exams and we could even get a job faster than before. All the children will remember me as their hero and I will be written in the Books of History. 

 

Unfortunately, I don’t have the power to do that. But if someone does that, one of my dreams will be fulfilled.

Thank You!!

GANESH CHATURTHI

  
Ganesh Chaturthi , also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi (Vinayak Chaturthi), is a Hindu festival celebrating the arrival of Ganesh to earth from Kailash Parvat with his mother Goddess Parvati/Gauri. The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesh clay idols privately in homes, or publicly on elaborate pandals (temporary stages). Observations include chanting of Vedic hymns and Hindu texts such as, prayers and vrat (fasting).[3] Offerings and prasad from the daily prayers,  that  are distributed from the pandal to the community, include sweets such as modak as it is believed to be a favourite of Lord Ganesh. The festival ends on the tenth day after start, when the idol is carried in a public procession with music and group chanting, then immersed in a nearby body of water such as a river or sea. In Mumbai alone, around 150,000 statues are immersed annually. Thereafter the clay idol dissolves and Ganesh is believed to return to Mount Kailash to Parvati and Shiva. The festival celebrates Lord Ganesh as the God of New Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles as well as the god of wisdom and intelligence and is observed throughout India, especially in the states such as MaharashtraGoaKarnatakaMadhya PradeshAndhra PradeshKeralaTelanganaOdishaWest BengalGujarat and Chhattisgarh, and is usually celebrated privately at home in Tamil Nadu. Ganesh Chaturthi is also observed in Nepal and by the Hindu people elsewhere such as in AustraliaNew ZealandCanadaSingaporeMalaysiaTrinidad and TobagoGuyanaSuriname, other parts of the CaribbeanFijiMauritiusSouth Africa[12] United States, and Europe. In the Gregorian calendar Ganesh Chaturthi falls between 22 August and 20 September every year.
At public venues, along with the reading of texts and group feasting, athletic and martial arts competitions are also held.[15]
I like GaneshChaturthi as there are a lot of sweets offered to ganesha and other people, every year there is a function in our apartment with lots of fun and devotion by everyone serving Ganesha. He generally stays here for 3 days after which a group of people go for visarjan to nearby lake. Ganesh Chaturthi is generally on week days because of which we also get 2-3 days  of holiday.





Dinosaurs – Dimorphodon

About Dimorphodon

Dimorphodon is a pterosaur which lived approximately 175 million to 160 million years ago – from the Middle Jurassic Period through the Late Jurassic Period. It was first discovered during the 19th century and was named by Richard Owen in 1859. Its name means “two-formed tooth.” It was given this name because it had two different types of teeth in its jaws. The front teeth looked like they were designed to grab prey and its back ones look like it was used to grind things up.

If you look closely at Dimorphodon pictures, then you might be quick to come to the conclusion that someone drew this animal wrong. After all, it does have that look like it was a model that somebody put together wrong – that somehow it large head was placed on its slender body by mistake. However, I assure you that is how this flying reptile actually looked.

Dimorphodon was approximately 2 feet long, weighed around 2 pounds and had a wingspan of about 4 feet. That made it about the size of a modern-day American Crow. However, it was probably a whole lot scarier than today’s crows because it did have that head that was filled with razor-sharp teeth. Teeth that could have been used to eat fish but may have also been used to eat insects as well. Paleontologists are quite sure at the moment.

One of the most interesting facts about Dimorphodon is that it had a long tail with a flap of skin at the end that was shaped like a diamond. Paleontologists believe that this was used to stabilize it during flight – much in the same way a tail is used to stabilize a kite. Which probably means that this pterosaur soared instead of actually flying, although it may have done a combination of both depending on the situation.

 

Dinosaurs – Scutosaurus

About Scutosaurus
Scutosaurus was an anapsid reptile which lived approximately 250 million years ago during the Late Permian Period. It was first discovered during the 1920s in Russia and was named by Vladimir Prokhorovich Amalitskii in 1922. Its name means “shield lizard” in Greek.

As you can probably tell from Scutosaurus pictures, this para-reptile was a massive creature. It was approximately 6 feet long – or about as long as a human male is long and weighed around 1,000 pounds – or a little more than what a horse weighs. It had thick bones and was also heavy muscled, which made it pretty strong. It was also covered in armor plates that would have given it some kind of defense against creatures which may have tried to have eaten it. Which it would’ve needed considering that it was probably pretty slow.

However, one of the most interesting facts about Scutosaurus isn’t its enormous size or its armor plating. No, what is interesting is that it probably wandered the flood plains of Eurasia like buffalo did on the plains of North America, hundreds of millions of years later. Paleontologists believe these huge herds of Scutosaurus would bellow to each other – much in the way cows do today. This has been substantiated by this creature’s huge cheeks which would have acted as bellows to allow them to communicate with each other.

Traveling in packs would have given this armored animal yet another form of defense. Herds provide animals a better chance of surviving a predator attack. Usually, when a predator attacks a herd it picks out the slowest or weakest of the herd. This allows the rest of the herd to escape. One of the predators which may have tried to attack Scutosaurus was Inostrancevia – a therapsid which had huge saber-tooth like teeth.

Scutosaurus lived on a diet of the dry vegetation which existed during this time and it had teeth that could get the job done. Its big, flat teeth could grind down plant matter so it could be further processed in its enormous gut. Most likely, this grazing anapsid reptile would have had to have eaten a whole lot of plants and grasses to maintain its enormous weight.

Pollution

when you get up in the morning the clean fresh air washes out your sleep. Where as in the night when you go out you just can’t breathe .it is all because of pollution. If I had to define pollution I would say

Pollution is something introduced into nature that is dirty unclean or has a harmful effect. Toxic waste dumped into water is an example of pollution. It refers to the chemical substances into the environment that is injurious for human, animals and plant life. The water, air noise and other forms of pollution is one terminology is known as the pollution of echo system.
There are many types of pollution, that are water , visual , thermal , plastic , noise , light and air
The measures of noise pollution are
Normal conversation level- 40 – 60 db
Health hazard- more than 80 db is safe
If someone just comes and shouts in your ears whaaaa you would become Heebie - jeebies Heebie-jeebies
These unusual words are used to express a feeling of fear and being uncomfortable
Few examples are
Heavy traffic – 90 db
Sound of aircraft engine – 100 – 200 db
Now imagine your house being just next to the airport, in midnight when the flight takes off how would it feel and so people don’t generally like to stay near airport.
The level of air quality is
Good 0 – 50 no risk
Moderate 51 -100 acceptable
Unhealthy for sensitive group 101 – 150 sensitive group experience health effects normal people don’t get affected
Unhealthy  151 – 200  everyone may experience health effect
Very unhealthy  201 – 300  health alert :  everyone may experience health effects
Hazardous 301 – 500 the entire population is effected
Impact- Over a million die prematurely every year due to air pollution , according to non profit health effects institute. Over a two million children – half of which in Delhi , have abnormalities in their lung functions , according to Delhi heart & lung institute , over the past decade air pollution has increased in India significantly. Asthma is the most common health problem faced by Indians and its accounts for more than half of health issues caused by air pollution
After , so much info about pollution . Let’s have some ways to prevent it

Conserve energy
Carpool , public transportation , bike or walk wherever possible
Keep car , boat and other engines properly tuned
Consider gas logs instead of wood
Reduce no. Of trips you take in your car
Conserve electricity

MY TRIP TO RAMGNAGAR

Since the lockdown kicked off, I could not go out and was getting very bored .

So, we decided to go out to places less visited. We chose places of natural beauty which wasn’t far away as we had to come back in evening.  We wanted to avoid crowded place and to maintain social distancing. We planned basic precautions like wearing mask, carrying sanitizer. We carried even food and tea from home so as to avoid contacts.

We chose the places which, we assumed, no one else would. If that would be the case, we were to find out.

Planning

5 families planned for the trip. But 2 families dropped out for different reasons, leaving 3 families in the plan.

On the D-day, 1 car tire got punctured and Ankit Uncle was left stranded in Indiranagar. At the end, 2 families went for picnic – Amar Uncle’s and ours.

The first stop – Big Banyan Tree

Imagine a tree,450 years old and spread over almost 3 acres of land – size equivalent to almost 2.5 football fields. It’s a nature’s wonder and also boasts of  open space to run, play and have fun. The tree has so many secondary branches of the tree that no one knows where the primary root is. The tree has many branches which 100 of monkeys have made their habitat. It was fun to watch those monkeys jumping on and off the branches of the gigantic tree.

THIS IS A SINGLE TREE STRETCHING THIS FAR


Alas, to our disappointment, the entrance to the tree park was closed – thanks to COVID-19. Nonetheless, again thanks to the same covid-19, the adjoining restaurant was closed too. The restaurant has lot of open space and the provides a comprehensive view of the tree. We stood there for some time, took snaps and enjoyed the monkey business. The most adoring was the way mummy monkey was taking care of baby monkey.

Off to second pit stop

Having been disappointed by closure of the banyan tree, we decided to go to  Savandurga. Savandurga is  a hill 60 km west of Bangalore off the Magadi road. The hill is considered to be among the largest monolith hills in Asia. The hill rises to 1226 m above mean sea level and forms a part of the Deccan plateau.

Half way through to the monolith, we saw many cars parked on roadside. There was a small hillock nearby. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocius could be the term to describe the view. There was a dam nearby, river all over the place with lots of greenery and hills to rejoice the mind. Seeing the scenery, we decided to stay for a while, so we sat down and had tea, the tea was made tastier by the view we saw. Having enjoying the view for some time, we decided to move on to savandurga.

VIEW THE HILLOCK

SAVANDURGA is a monolith approx.50 km away from Bangalore. It was huge. A monolith enough to exhaust a person trekking the wrong way in a min. With my dad I made a plan to go trekking there the coming weekend.

RAMNAGAR made famous by name RAMGAD in Sholay movie was our next destination. Against our expectations, there were many people visiting the place, we roamed and saw few places, sitting there we had our lunch, played football and cricket. The sun was moving towards west, sky turning light blue when we started back to home. We reached around 6.  Believe me this was an amazing trip. You people too should go

Tom and Jerry – Are they really Enemies?

We have all seen this fantastic duo. They fight, team up and sometimes fool each other in a very funny way. But are they really enemies?

 

The answer is no, they are best friends. Tom is actually fond of Jerry as a friend and vice versa. However, as Jerry is a rodent and Tom is a cat, they pursue to play pranks and escape from each other. For example, in an episode, when Tom is thrown out for another cat, he and Jerry team up to throw the other cat out of the house. This proves that they are friends.

 

No matter how much ever they fight, they are, and will always be the best of friends.

Thank You!!

My favorite country

I want tell you about one of my favorite countries which is called the land of the rising sun aka Japan.

I like japan because it is a safe and disciplined country. It is the most futuristic country in the world. They have the best seafood also. They also have awesome robots too. Their culture is also very fascinating. As you all know,Japan is a island on the pacific coast near the Korean peninsula and some islands connect to Russia. They are famous for Sushi and Ramen. It’s capital is Tokyo. Some other important cities are Osaka and Kyoto. Did you know that Pacman and Mario were made in Japan? These are fun games to play.

Japanese culture is one of mutual respect and traditional values.

Beauty lies in the Eye of the Beholder

When you see a beautiful meadow filled with wildlife, you enjoy the beauty of nature. Beauty is appreciated by the ‘most’ of us, while some people can’t fully take it for some unknown reason. But when it comes to people, we can’t judge them just by appearance.

 

Physical attractiveness are deceptions. What really matters is the nature of a person. It is true that beautiful or handsome people are more appealing. But we can have a reliable relationship and long lasting trust only on the personalities of people.

 

For example, have you ever eaten a jack fruit? Though its outer covering is thick and hard, its inside is soft and sweet. Similarly, people can never be judged only by their looks or appearances. So always remember that ” Beauty lies in the Eye of the Beholder “

Thank You!!!

My Best Friend

Everyone has missed your best friend including me. During this lock down we get bored without our friends especially our best friend. My best friend is Pransukh Daniel. He and I will enjoy a lot in school like, making fun of everyone, playing, fighting and throwing paper balls at each other. We also tell our dreams or nightmares to each other, which sometimes tells our future. It happened that Pransukh told my future after listening my dream. My dream was, I was playing with Pransukh and an undiscovered creature came which when it bites anyone in 48 hours or on the 48th hour fire comes out of our head which leads us to blasting our head in 10 minutes. The creature bit me and Pransukh mixed all the medicines he had with him and told me to drink it, I asked what it is, he told me that it is a cure for the bite. I believed in him and drank the medicine, surprisingly it worked! He listened my dream and told some insect will bite me and fire will come on my hair. That day our class teacher asked us to bring match sticks and a glass. We all bought match sticks and I lit the stick as teacher told and she told to take some of the candles kept in the classroom. I did as the teacher told and the table was very small for me, I kept the stick holding in front of my head and I lit the candle and I bent to take my glass, that time the stick touched my hair and fire was burning in my head. One of my friend took the fire extinguisher and splashed carbon- di- oxide and the full classroom was filled with the gas, the dream came true.

The best thing about friend is that they always give support and some facts about them are:
They are like siblings to us
They always help us
They sacrifice themselves

Thank You

To Value Things

My dad always said that everyone should value things because they teach us something new when we handle it for the first time. It happened to me also like, when I was playing guitar and using badminton racket for the first time. For guitar, when I played it, I was shocked because, when I saw it when I was small, I didn’t like it very much, but now everyone is appreciating me. When I was using badminton racket in the court for the first time, I was very weak at playing, but now I can play many tournaments in the court and won some of them.

Some people also do “Ayuda Pooja” Ayuda means thing and Pooja means praying. They do this prayer because they value their things and pray because it should last for a long time. We should value things because they will give you the name and the fame, when we do not value things they will break and you will not get anything.

why is it important to learn?

The important subject in learning is math because if we don’t learn math then if we go to a shop and for the item you want is a bed the cost of it is 10,000$ and you don’t know to add, divide,and subtract and multiply. then if the shopkeeper will take the money even more, then it’s cheating no that’s why you should always learn. you should learn also other subjects like Environmental science,computer science,english,social science and etc. and don’t forget to get 100/100 in all subjects and and to get 1st rank in the exam.

Thanks

Technology- Has it changed for the good?

Imagine you surviving in a place where smartphones didn’t exist. How long can you survive? Days, Weeks, Months? Let’s say, not even an hour! (except while sleeping.)

 

Lets face it. We are addicted to it. So addicted that we can’t measure it! Don’t you hear your elders say how they had not seen a phone before, until they had entered their first job. Did you know that most of the people before our generation had not seen a phone until 2000!

 

Now-a-days, our life rests entirely on technology. For example, when our parents were of our age, their only way of communication were letters or phone booths. But, now we have a variety of applications in our fingertips!

 

But best things always come with a cost. Now-a-days, technology is being misused a lot. And with the increase in technology, there is also an increase in the crimes taking place globally.

Another evil, being done is Cyber bullying. It has become so outrageous that it was the main death factor of numerous teens in the year 2018. Though technology is being made for good, we misuse it to create havoc.

 

But this does not mean that technology is bad or it should be demolished. It is our responsibility to reduce the risk of being attacked, by, securing our IDs and passwords properly. So, let’s all team up together for the rise of technology against cyber misshappening.

Thank You!!

Music-What I love about it

“One good thing about music, when it hits      you, you feel no pain.”

― Bob Marley

Don’t we all love to hear the melody of songs and background scores that we love? Scientifically, music is the same as cars honking, alarms ringing and your parents shouting at you!!


Yeah, it is true. Our life is surrounded by ‘music’ around us, although not as pleasant as the ones we always wish to hear. But let’s take the music that we like. Do you wonder why it is very relaxing to listen and would love to hear it again? It is because it gives you positivity to move on throughout the day.


What I love about music is the variety of types it has. My favorite type is Jazz. It gives me those ‘cool vibes’ and its slow-paced speed helps me to focus more and be calm.


Another reason why I love music is because I get to play it. As a Keyboard student, I tend to play tunes that I hear in my daily life. I have achieved many certifications and awards for playing the keyboard and music is the reason for it.

 

 For these reasons and more,

I Love Music!!!

Leisure Poem

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare. 

Importance of Yoga

Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word, ‘YUJ’. It means to join, connect, or unite. It is the union of individual consciousness with universal consciousness. Yoga is 5000 years old Indian philosophy. It was first mentioned in the oldest sacred text – The Rig Veda (Vedas were a collection of texts containing mantras, spiritual information, songs and rituals to be used by Brahmins, the Vedic priests.

Yoga is being practiced in Indian society for thousands of years. A person doing yoga will move from one posture to the other called Asana. Yoga benefits people who practice it regularly.

The form of exercises performed in Yoga is called ‘Asana’ which is capable of bringing about the stability of body and mind. Yoga Asana is the simplest and easiest way to reduce our excess weight and keep fit.

ORIGIN OF YOGA

Yoga originated in ancient India thousands of years ago, long before the first religion or belief system was born. It is believed that Shiva is the first Yogi or Adiyogi and the first guru. Thousands of years ago, on the banks of Lake Kantisarovar in the Himalayas, Adiyogi shared his knowledge into legendary seven sages as it was hard to put all his wisdom and knowledge in one person. The sages took this powerful yogic science to various parts of the world, including Asia, North Africa, the Middle East, and South America. India is blessed to have found the yogic system in its fullest expression.

The fossil remains of Indus-Saraswati civilization are evidence of the presence of Yoga in ancient India. This presence finds a mention in folk traditions. It is included in the Indus valley civilization, Buddhist and Jain traditions. According to the studies, Yoga was being practiced under the direct guidance of a Guru and its spiritual value was given a lot of importance. Sun was given the highest importance during the Vedic period and that’s how Suryanamaskar was invented later on.

However, Maharishi Patanjali is known as the father of Modern Yoga. He did not invent Yoga as it was already there in various forms. He assimilated it into the system. He saw that it was getting quite complex for anyone to understand it in any meaningful way. So he assimilated and included all aspects into a certain format – Yoga Sutras.

The role of breath is very important in the practice of Asana or Yoga positions. Breath is a vital force and our body requirement of oxygen changes depending on our actions. If we exercise then we require more oxygen hence the breathing becomes faster and if we are relaxing then our breathing becomes relaxed and deep. In yoga, the focus is integrated on the breath while indulging in slow movements as well as while doing complete Asana. Yoga promotes smooth and relaxed inhalation and exhalation during the practice.

Conclusion

Importance of Nature

Nature is the natural environment that surrounds us, cares us, and nourishes us every moment. It provides us a protective layer around us to prevent the damages. We are not able to survive on the earth without nature like air, land, water, fire, and sky. Nature includes everything around us like plants, animals, rivers, forests, rain, lake, birds, sea, thunder, sun, moon, weather, atmosphere, mountain, desserts, hills, ice, etc. Every form of nature is very powerful which can nourish as well as destroy us.
Now a day, everyone has less time to enjoy nature. In the increasing crowd, we forgot to enjoy nature and improve health. We started using technological instruments for our health fitness. However, nature indeed has the power to nourish us and fit us forever. Most of the writers have described the real beauty and advantage of nature in their writings. Nature can make our mind tension free and cure our diseases. Because of technological advancement in the life of human beings, our nature is declining gradually which needs a high level of awareness to keep it in balance and to conserve natural assets.
God has created everything very beautifully seeing which our eyes can never be tired. But we forgot that we too have some responsibility towards our nature to the relationship between nature and human beings. How beautiful scenery it looks in the morning with sunrise, songs of birds, sounds of lakes, rivers, air and happy gatherings of friends in the evening in the garden after a long day of crush. But we forgot to enjoy the beauty of nature in just fulfilling our duties towards our families.
Sometimes during our holidays, we spend our whole day watching TV, reading newspapers, playing indoor games or on the computer but we forgot that outside the door we can do something interesting in the lap of nature ad the natural environment. Unnecessarily we left on all the lights of home, we use electricity without need which ultimately increases the heat in the environment called global warming. Our other activities like cutting trees and forests increase the amount of CO2 gas in the environment causing the greenhouse effect and global warming.
If we want to be happy and healthy always we should try our best to save our planet and its beautiful nature by stopping our foolish and selfish activities. To keep the ecosystem in balance, we should not cut trees, forests, practice energy and water conservation, and many more. Ultimately we are the real user of nature so we should take care of it.
