PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS

Now a day, it is mostly seen that teenagers are getting very rebellious or have change in their behavior. The reason behind this change in behavior can be the hectic or stressful schedules of students and even the lack of physical activities. It is mostly seen that due to lack of time students don’t get time to play or to perform any other physical activities. This problem might not look serious but, it is because lack of physical activity can cause anxiety, cardiovascular diseases and many other diseases.

Thus, physical activity is very important in a student’s life and it should not be neglected.

Physical activities have many benefits like it keeps a person’s body and mind calm, energetic and fresh. It also reduces ones stress, enhances mental and physical growth. It helps in character building and provides students energy and strength. A healthy diet and active lifestyle is also necessary with physical activities as it brings good result in a student’s lifestyle, mind and body.

Thus, the students get physically fit and even achieve more in academics.

The target of keeping students fit and stress free through physical activities can be achieved if the schools take initiative, as children don’t get time in their hectic schedule to perform any physical activities.

This initiative can be helpful or beneficial for both the students as, they get stress free and achieve more in academics and through this school will earn good academic performance.

The story starts with the childhood of two neighbors- Shrikant and Shrimati who are also classmates. There always used be tough competition between both of them in their school  but, Shrimati always  used to outsmart Shrikant.

The story revolves around these two students, as they grow up they fall in love with each other. The Bakula tree standing between the two house becomes the sole witness of their love.

Shrikant and Shrimati  marry each other, but Shrimati  has to face many problems from her husbands family ,but she  try to adjust with Shrikant’s family member and live with them peacefully.

Shrimati after tackling all the family problem does not get attention from Shrikant and he being ambitious focuses only in his work avoiding Shrimati. This leaves Shrimati lonely and she realizes where her true happiness lies and decides to move on in life.

It is a tale of love and how selfishness disrupts love. Very visual writing by Sudha Murthy makes a pleasure reading. It questions the bond of marriage at the sacrifice of a woman. Finally leaves an impression on the reader.

RADHIKA MANE

The girl with a dream.

There was once a girl, innocent and pure, spreading the love and in search of more. For her the world was a beautiful place, filled with people who loved her, pampered her and cared for her like she was a doll. She finds the world in the embrace of her mother and protection in her father’s love. She grew up listening to the stories from her grandmother, the stories about the beautiful princess and her charming prince riding on the white horse, and there magical kiss in which they found the true love and then she sleeps dreaming about her prince and the magical kiss, of course holding her teddy close. She was taught to love and believe and to respect and hope. She was innocently mischievous and mischievously innocent. She danced around placing smiles on so many faces and her giggles were echoed in her house. She was no princess, she didn’t have a big garden filled with roses or any sort of luxury but she didn’t need any. She was living in heaven until one day her heaven wrecked, she grew up.

She was no more a kid living under the shadow of her parents but she was a grown up girl surviving the harshness of the world. She now has to face the world which was no more a beautiful place. There were people who ogle at her and their lecherous look just disgust her. When she looked around her there was crime and hatred, where was the love, love which she read in books. She was taught to believe and hope, but where should she put her beliefs in ? What is she suppose to hope for? The treachery of the world taught her that there is nothing like true love, that was all just the stories. There will be no beautiful princess, no charming prince will come for her riding the white horse and surely there won’t be any magical kiss. Lust has taken over love and people are selfish and sometimes they will hurt you for fun. So she did what she has to, to survive in this loveless world. She put on a mask. A mask of firmness, a mask of selfishness, a mask of hatred and made people believed that she don’t care. But that was for the world so that they don’t think that she is vulnerable and tries to hurt her, deep down in her heart she cared. She cared every time when she saw something bad happening, she cared every time when she saw truth losing to lies, she cared every time when people asked her to be cruel and oversee the wrong but she can’t express it, moreover she was not even suppose to feel it.

She can’t take it anymore, the pain, the lies, the cruelty, she wanted to run away but to where, there was nowhere. She was not living but surviving, but then she couldn’t take it anymore. She tried to be heard, fought for love but hatred won and gradually consumed her and once a cheerful soul is now burned into ashes and it’s gone. But her spirit is still here amongst us waiting for the victory. She was taught to believe and hope so she is believing in us and hoping that we all will help her to win this war between love and hate. She wants every one of us to win the fight that’s going on inside us. Let’s tear off the mask of hate and let the love pour out of us. Let’s not pretend anymore and care for real. Let’s stop the wrong and stand for the right.

She was a girl with a dream…

STORM.

There is something so oddly comforting about the storm. As the trees swing around mercilessly in the air and the pouring rain leaves imprints everywhere. I lay in the dark listening to it uproar, wrapped up in blanket, safe and sound. I guess that is why it’s so oddly comforting; the fact that it’s a raging storm outside and I’m inside safely battling my own inner storms.

Sometimes it feels like my inner storm has manifested itself in more of a physical form. For a change, it’s not only in the inside. It’s there; in its realist form, manifesting itself to the outside world. I want to scream; “see this is how I feel, this is how it destroys me”. I want to scream and let them know.

The rain pours and pours with it the thunder bolts rips the sky open. This is how I feel. Like something rips open my chest with its bare hands.

The leaves rustle as though screaming for escape. This is how I feel. Struggling to find freedom as everything around me does it best to hold me down.

Flashes of lightning illuminates the dark in my room, curtains blow away with the wind and the air becomes chillier with each passing second, so I tightly wrap the blanket around me.

Broken Friendship

Some sorrows are too deep,

In my life they just seem to seep.

I wanted to talk to you 

but I remembered you do not talk to me anymore
I can feel the pain in my heart
as if its melting from its core

   Friends may come and friends may go,
   but i know you'll find your way back
   because true friends last forever

   and we were  meant to be together .

THE HUNGER GAMES : MOCKINGJAY PART 1 - MOVIE REVIEW

It’s very likely that Francis Lawrence’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is not the movie that you’re expecting. Moving beyond the structure that helped make the first two films in the series so successful – seeing star Katniss Everdeen forced to compete in a deadly competition that pits her against her peers in an arena setting – the new sequel instead takes the franchise themes of revolution and resistance to the next level, taking its characters to war. Rather than struggling with this massive shift, however, the new film simply makes the dystopian world that much more fascinating and exciting, and is ultimately another very successful chapter in the blockbuster series.

Picking up just after the events of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the new film finds Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) within the bowels of a large, underground military complex where she suddenly finds herself as the wanted figurehead of a growing rebellion. Her acts of defiance against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and the Capitol during The Hunger Games have successfully sown the seeds of revolution, and she has inspired the people of Panem to rise up against their fascist overlords and try to take their nation back. But while the country is on the verge of war, Katniss must not only decide if she will take the responsibility of leadership that has been thrust upon her, but also try and find a way to rescue Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), who has been taken hostage and imprisoned by the enemy.

Though it is perhaps a bit inaccessible to those who have not followed the series up to this point, and it feels more like an extended chapter of a longer saga than a self-contained plot, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 finds its success in meaningful themes, character-driven story, and smart execution, and ultimately creates some impressive depth for the phenomenon franchise.

Mockingjay – Part 1 can be best categorized as a war film, but what impressively sets it apart from its blockbuster brethren is the surprisingly little dependence that it has on action sequences, explosions and on-screen violence. Instead, it opts for a much more fascinating political and personal approach, as we see through Katniss’ eyes what it takes to motivate revolution and its extreme cost. The teenage archer is certainly brave and heroic in the face of danger, but a bold, military leader she is not, and the film fully dives into her struggle accepting her role and becoming the symbol everyone needs her to be – all while a man she loves is being held prisoner and tortured. Propaganda videos are explored as being just as important as the new explosive-tipped arrows that the heroine is provided with, and it works because the drama is just as satisfying as the mission and battle sequences.

Being so driven by internal conflicts, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 provides itself opportunity for great character work – and while it’s obviously Katniss who gets the most development (backed by yet another brilliant performance from Jennifer Lawrence), it’s fantastic to see the rest of the ensemble get their shining moments as well. After being stranded on the outskirts of the story in the first two films, Liam Hemsworth’s Gale finally gets some material that he can really sink his teeth into – torn apart by his feelings for Katniss, her close bond with Peeta, and his own personal revolutionary spirit. Contextual changes also do great things for Elizabeth Banks’ Effie (who is horrified to go from colorful Capitol garb to a grey District 13 jumpsuit); Woody Harrelson’s Haymitch (who is forced to ‘dry out’ a bit); Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Plutarch (who has a very influential position within the rebellion); and Jeffrey Wright’s Beetee (who finds a role to play as the revolution’s tech expert). There’s even room for some great new characters, as Julianne’s President Coin - leader of the revolt – becomes a complex new ally and antagonist for our heroine.

Of course, you can’t sell revolution to an audience if they don’t have a complete understanding of what’s being revolted against, and the good news is that Francis Lawrence and screenwriters Danny Strong and Peter Craig don’t short sell it. From public executions to firebombed cities to threatening speeches, there is no shortage of evil being displayed by the Capitol, and it’s all presented in affecting and shocking ways. As the central antagonist, Donald Sutherland continues to play President Snow with a creepy confidence that sells the idea that he has seen revolutions come and go and feels little threat to his power – which, when combined with Katniss’ uncertainty creates a threatening David and Goliath atmosphere.

As the Part 1 in the title suggests, this first half of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay doesn’t really provide any big conclusions or complete any arcs, but this lacking only slightly undercuts what the film adds to the franchise as a whole. There’s a great deal of smart thematic and character work that adds to the world of The Hunger Games, and will only serve to get fans more excited for the story’s conclusion.
