My Favourite Festival 'Holi'

 We celebrate festivals. My most  favourite festival is Holi. It is falls on the full  moon day to  Falgun. It is said it is the festival  of friendship . It is the  beginning of the spring season.

 In this  festival , all friends  get together and play  with  colourful  powder and liquid. At the  end of  the game,  our clothes  are completely  wet. One  cannot  easily  recognize us while  in the play because  our faces are fully  covered with colourful power. But it is  always  friendly  and enjoyable.

 Adults play  this festival  in a systematic  way.  They  visit  homes  after homes. They  even  sing songs and  play . They  are given  sweets while playing.  It's  a very  interesting festival. It is also a symbol  of love among  people .

 Hindu believe once,  Holika  was blessed  that  the fire would  not affect her. She  wanted  to kill  Prahlad for this  brother ,  Hiranyakashipu. So,  she tired to get Prahlad burnt in the life. So,  Holika and Prahlad were  kept  together  in a big fire. But,  It didn't affect Prahlad. Holika was  burnt. Hindu have been  playing this festival  since then.

 But  these days,  some  hostile  behaves are seen. We  must  be careful to be  civilized .We  should care and follows its norms and values.

Tyranny in our Society

 There are many  kinds  of people  in the community  some look  very  gentle. Some  look  rich  and  prosperous . The  others are miser. Some others are very poor. They  are suffering from  problems . They  are passing a miserable life.

People  say they  are human . They  are  rationale.  But some  people  are very  unfair.  Their  children go to school  to learn. But they  let some children to  work  hard  for them  at home.

 They  deliver lectures on human  rights  in meetings and seminars.  But  when  they  see  the children of  the poor family or of  the lower  castes, they  hate them.

Some  children are found  collecting plastics on the  roads.  These  so called  superior  persons don't  show  pity on them. Instead , they  shout  at them . If they  get  chance  they take  home  to enslave them.

 How  unfair  we are at this. These  street  children  have no home to live . They  have to pass  their  nights  on the roads . Where  is our  human  rights? Where is our  humanity?

 I think  we  don't  have  rights to talk  about  human  right until we  behave all children  equally. We  should  change  ourselves before we suggest others.

Infant hygiene

 

An infant means a newly  born baby  and  hygiene means the health, or the cleanliness. The  infant stage is the most important time  in a person's life. If a baby does not get  good care in this stage, it cannot grow well.

 A baby  has very  weak organs. It can  not adjust in the  a new  atmosphere very  easily. It needs a sincere care to grow healthy.

The most important things for  infants are clean and  hygienic  food. Among  all food  items  breast milk is the best. It is  the most  important  natural  food for the  infants. It is the most important  natural food for the  infants. It is rich in factors that  promote  brain growth and neurodevelopment of  the babies. The  breast fed babies are more intelligent than  the bottle fed ones

The breast fed  babies are  independent and social . The breast fed babies have  a sufficient exposure with the mothers. It develops the babies' common senses and their  language.

 In addition to break milk, the babies  need  liquid  and  soft food  full of  carbohydrate, protein , minerals and calcium. They  need clean environment and clean drinking water . The infants  also  need  good  mannered baby  sit  and sincere  care to grow socially, mentally  and physically healthy, So,  one should  be very  careful to grow  an infant.

Drug Addiction

 

In common drug means medicine. We need them when we are ill. But when someone uses medicine for non medical purpose, It is called  drug addition. This  is an illegal use of  medicine because it is used  to affect the body. It is used orally, by  injecting into the body and by  means of smoke.

 Drug  addiction is a  serious problem  these days. Mainly  the young  people  are found to be involved in drug addiction.

 We can  find  many  reasons behind it . But, bad  friendship is the major  cause. When  a young  boy  or girl feels unloved, he/she  is intension. He /She may meet  those  addicted  friends. Some times, they  may like  to show  superiority  to the  opposite  sex.

Prevention is better than cure. So, it is better to  stop our young  children from  this.  For this, we should  try  to understand their  problems. We should  not  behave with  them rudely . We should  love them. It  makes the young  ones  faith in families . It is not  possible  for the young  ones to meet  the bad  company.

 Even  with those  addicted  ones, we should make friendship and have a normal  behaves. So,  they   may feel  easy  at home and at schools, too. Then it  will be  easy to  solve this problem.

Superstitious beliefs in our Society.

 Every Society has its own norms and values. They  pass to the new  generation slowly.  Some norms and  values are very   useful for the  new generations  but some are very bad. They draw the society backwards rather than forwards.

 We have some  superstitious  beliefs. It is thought that if  a persons is going  somewhere and sees an empty vessel; his journey will not  be successful. In  the same  way, if  someone sees a widow on the  way while  going some where , it is thought to be  bad luck. While  someone is going  out  and sees a black smith. It is also  taken as a misfortune. But a tailor is taken as a fortune.

 A more  serious case is that, in the  western  region of Nepal , the girls  are not allowed to enter the  houses in their menstruation period. They are believed to be the  untouchables. If she touches males during this period it is  regarded as a sin.

In the same way , it is thought that the girls  should   be  married before they  are  twelve. What will be the  future of the girls, who  are married at the  age of  twelve?

 So it is  too late to change our thinking . Let's  become  human. Let's live and let others live as human. it will show our civilization.
