It is highly perturbing to read about the cases Nowadays, the level of aggression has reached its peak. Minor altercations lead to heated arguments resulting in injuries or, in some extreme cases, even death. Road rage in most cassis due to lack of traffic sens, impatience or excessive speed to name 8 few. Children, below 18 years of age, drive their bikes at flying speeds. Their excitement results in accidents. Everyone cringes about road accidents but never realizes that these happen due to their own carelessness. Be it an adult or a teenager, everyone wants to move speedily, hardly caring for the life of others. Even the traffic police become helpless when it comes to traffic control. Its high time authorities concerned took steps to control road rage problems. People should be made aware of the traffic rules so that people follow them faithfully. If not, then hefty fines must be imposed. A growing country needs to be a safe country.

However, som daydreaming has also proven to lead to stress, remove motivation and ereate unrealistic expectation. Mukesh in “The Lost Spring’ belonged toa family of bangle makers in Firozabad. He had a daydream become a car mechanic. He fulfilled his dreams by hard work and honesty. However, Sophie in Goig Places also lives in a dreamy world which has distant relation with the harsh realities of life. She drs Pig and beautiful things beyond her reach or her means. She is neither practical nor realistic. D oF this nature, she could never ever succeed in her goals of unrealistic imagination. Therefore, w Rould think real, act real. One could survive in realism.

Good luck for your future endeavours. Me: Thanks. Bye. Stephen Spender: Bye, Caste discrimination refers to discrimination based on the caste of a person. The Constitution of India abolished untouchability. The Indian government initiated several national affirmative action policies to improve the status and living conditions of low-caste groups (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) by introducing caste-based quotas in political representation, public sector jobs and education. The Fecent years have witnessed some relaxation in caste restrictions. However, one cannot say that the evils of the caste system have been totally eradicated, It will take time and will be eradicated when the mindset of the people changes. Education can bring the next generation new blood with a new vision. We hope that time will come when absolute equality in the matter of earning a livelihood would be enjoyed by all the citizens of our country. In the modern context, our society changes and loves each other, which helps to abolish the caste discrimination. OR Derry had a burnt face, and Mr. Lamb had a tin leg, Both of them were lonely and yearned for company. But their outlook towards life was completely different. Derry suffered from an acute lack of self-esteem and rejection. He hated the people who commented on his face and drowned himself in self-pity. However, Mr. Lamb, was full of life. He was ready to welcome all into his house. He kept the windows of his house without curtains. The positive attitude of Mr. Lamb could not have been formed in a day. He had grown old with his deformity. He had learnt to bear the comments of boys who called him ‘Lamey Lamb’. Life had taught him to accept all kinds of situations graciously. Derry was too young to understand all this. He was a sensitive boy. His negative thoughts and insensitive attitude of the people had made him bitter. The victims of impairment accept more responsible behavior from others. The best we can do for such victims is to accept them as they are, without constantly reminding them of their handicap or pitying them. Derry’s self-esteem suffered a setback due to the stares and unpleasant remarks of the people. Mr. Lamb's encouraging words pulled him out of his cocoon and filled him with confidence.
