My Favorite Book 
The Book I Like Most
 The Gita : The Book I Love
 Gita : My Favorite Book 

Introduction- 

Books are, no doubt, our best friends. They are food for thought. They console us in our sorrow and make us forget the worries of life.

 My Favorite Book

Of all the books I have read, I like the Gita most. It is a holy book of the Hindus, but is universally acclaimed. It teaches us the importance of 'Karma'. It is a true guide and a never-failing friend. I love to read it every morning, It is a store house of knowledge, wisdom and virtue. It teaches me the secret of success in life. It tells me the importance of self-effort, devotion to duty and good actions. It shows me light in the dark hours of life. It gives me peace of mind and true happiness. It says, "Do your duty and let the God give you fruit for that."

 Why Favourite?

It is one of the greatest books in the world. One, who understands the Gita, understands much about this world and beyond. It sums up the whole philosophy of life and death. The popularity of the Gita is based on its philosophical teachings. Lord Krishna's message to the war-frightened Arjuna is as true today as it was in the days of the Pandavas. This book teaches us to do our duty conscientiously and be never disheartened in the face of great perils. When Arjuna was hesitating to fight his kinsmen, Lord Krishna advised him that by shirking the war, he was shirking his duty, which was a sin.

Conclusion

It has been translated into many languages. The Hindus believe that if it is read at the time of death, it brings salvation. I respect the Gita for its moral philosophy and true guidance.

Why and How the Earth should be Protected from Pollutants

Or Pollution
Or Environmental Pollution Or Our Attitude towards Nature
Or Pollution in Metropolitan Cities
Or Pollution Control

Introduction-

 Environment is the surrounding of an organism. This environment in which an organism lives is made up of various elements like air, water, land etc. Any kind of undesirable and unwanted change in the proportions of these elements can be termed as pollution.

Causes of Pollution-

The poisonous water and waste product of the factories mingle with the water bodies and poison them. Resultantly, the aquatic life gets affected. The water is rendered useless which can neither be used for drinking nor for washing. This also results in the reduction of the area of water bodies. Such a situation arises when non-degradable products are dumped on fallow land or on the banks of rivers and sea shores.

Harmful Effects-

 Waste materials such as plastics, polythene, bottles etc cause land pollution and render soil infertile. Moreover, dumping of dead bodies of men and animals, washing of clothes and utensils add to the problem. Another major problem of pollution is the air that we breathe in, is being polluted by the smoke pouring out of chimneys and automobiles. No doubt, air pollution takes place even by volcanoes, cyclones, forest fires etc. but human activities are more responsible for causing air pollution. Gases like CO₂, CO, SO₂ are emitted, which mix with air and cause great harm to the human body, flora and fauna.

Prevention- 

Use of organic manures should be encouraged instead of chemical fertilisers to prevent soil pollution. Planting of trees should be encouraged and cutting down of green trees should be strictly checked. Unleaded petrol should be used in vehicles. Industries should have proper emission systems and should conform to the laws in order to ensure safety of the people living in residential areas around. Strict laws should be legislated and enforced regarding the keeping of our sea shores and river banks clean.

Conclusion- 

The government should also try to educate people about various kinds of pollution and create public awareness. People should be involved in helping to reduce and control pollution. Until, we all get serious and resolve to make our planet a better place to live in, humanity stands amidst grave danger of perishing and being destroyed due to the severe and increasing problem of pollution.
