Some people were throwing sand on the fire. Then fire-brigade vahicles came and controlled the fire. We thanked God that no one lost his of her life.

One man’s hobby may be another man’s work, or the other way round. Thus reading is work to a university professor but to a banker or business executive, it is a hobby. Similarly, photography is work-and hard work at that do a p0rofessional photographer who takes pictures for a fee at wedding, receptions and other similar functions but to an eighteen year oild who goes about happilyt clicking away his Canon, It is a hobby. I read in Govt. Sec. School. There are many teachers in the school. Shri Gupta is my most favourite teacher. He teaches us English. He works very hard. He loves all the srudents. He helps the week and poor students. He is a kind teacher. He lives simplelife sometimes takes extra- classes. He gives good advice to the students. He wishes that every student should progress in his life. We are proud of him. Iping was a small village. The arrival of a stranger at an inn there in winter was an unusal event. Besides, Griffin wore bandages round his forehead. He wore dark glasses, big whiskers and a hat. This uncommon appearance of him made everybody look at him with suspicion. Then his strange habits as living alone and irritable temper made him a suspect at Iping. The theft at the clergyman’s house and Griffin’s suddenly producing money made them suspect him of theft. The test of a great book is whether we want to read it only once or more than once. A really great book is one which we want to read the second time even more than we wanted to read it the first time: and every additional time that we read it we find new meanings and new beauties in it. A book that a person of education and good taste does not care to read more than once is very probably not worth muct. But we cannot consider the judgement of a single individual infallible . The opinion that makes a book great msust be the opinion of many. For even the greatest critics are apt to have certain dullness. Carlyle, for example, could not endure Browning; Byron could not endure some of the greatest of English pooets. A man must be many-sidedto utter a trustworthy estimate of many books. We may doubt the judgememnt of the single critic at times. But there is no doubt possible in regard to the judgement of generations. Purity of body is physical health. Purity of speech is unsullied truth. Purity of heart is unselfish love. Purity of thought is righteous reason. Purity of mind is sincere and unselfish service. Purity of society is harmonious unity. Purity of environment is soul-elevating serenity. In the Mahabharata, there is an interesting episode to illustrate the nature of purity. The Pandavas and Kauravas were Drona’s disciples. They were once summoned by the preceptor Drona for a test. The eldest of the Pandavas, Yudhishthira, was asked to bring one had person from the society. The eldest of the Kauravas, Duryodhana was asked to fetch one good person form the same society in Hasthinapura.
