Every heart throbs on Valentine’s Day. Pleasant breeze of love’s fragrance in the air makes young girls and boys dance with joy. Love is life’s essential ingredient. When there is no love life becomes insipid. Love is essential for the newborn to the man on the death-bed. It makes one to have peace in mind and sense of belongingness. Love is God. It cannot be defined or seen. It should be felt. Love is patience. Love is understands. Love is happiness. Love is pleasure. Love is ecstasy. Love is universality.
In present day attraction towards opposite sex is considered as love. True love is endurance. But this sexual attraction falsely called as love is creating intolerance, fear, terror and destruction. It is creating possessiveness and violence. Young people should differentiate between attraction and infatuation from love. True love results in progress together and help in achieving highest goals in life. Infatuation or sexual attraction makes one deviate from their aims and results in distress and failure. This prevents the person to develop fully in his youth. It becomes a block in the personality development.
Youth has immense energy. This energy should be well utilized for one’s overall development and form foundation for the future life. Love is not just sexual pleasure. Love should direct one towards one’s personal development, family happiness and national development. Love should help not only the person loving someone, but it should help person who is being loved. If love works only one way then it is not love but dominance. So love between two persons should lead to congeniality between the persons, it should form the basis of understanding, faithfulness, mutual help, sense of universality. This helps persons live in harmony.
LOVE HELPS TO LIVE IN HARMONY.

Exams are part of life
It is examination season now. Studying regularly and ‘doing well’ in the exams must have been one of the New Year resolutions of the students. These days ‘doing well’ does not simply mean passing exams or securing first class, it means joining in the rat race to secure highest ranks and percentages. Every parent and student thinks that competition is very high and that one has to work assiduously to achieve ace percentages. Schools and colleges (intermediate colleges in particular) are also concentrating on scoring top percentages and ranks from their institutions. In order to accomplish this some of the institutions are even preventing their regular students to appear for the examinations as their candidates. Only the crème de la crème are allowed to write as their students, and the rest made to write as private candidates. When the results are announced they boast about the percentage of these best students, who will definitely succeed, and attract new students to get admission into their institute. Is this not false propaganda?
Every student is good at a particular faculty. May be one is good at mathematics while the other in language or literature. Student’s aptitude should be recognized and sufficient training should be given for them to excel in their field of interest. Studying up to SSC is recognized as basic education. All schools should train students and see that every student is allowed to write the exam without being deprived of their dignity to appear as a regular student of that particular school. This will boast the morale of the candidate and gives good results.
Students should also realize that to get through an exam they should put some effort and learn at least the fundamentals in all subjects. They may be interested in one particular subject than another. But to pass a qualifying exam a minimum percentage is essential. When one can do well in one subject he or she can do in another as well. This is an indication that the candidate is capable of learning new things if interested.
Every day in our life is an exam. School exams have started at the age of three itself. From learning alphabets to securing PhD every day is an exam. Knowingly or unknowingly we come out through many tests daily. Reading and listening with interest helps in remembering things for longer time. Just recollecting topics within a week and once again in another fortnight will store knowledge in the brain. Prior to examinations just going through such topics will be like taking out our dress from the shelves of an almarah. It is so easy to put on paper.
Hurry and worry causes tiredness. This in turn affects physical and mental health. Calmness increases efficiency and thoughtfulness. In life, exams come and go. After all, exams are a part of life. Be it success or failure there is a lesson to learn. This attitude helps us to plan future exams.
A good night’s sleep will keep one fresh and alert in the morning. A smile on the face makes things pleasant. A pleasant mind thinks calmly. Calmness increases efficiency. Greater efficiency gives excellent results.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ARE WRITING EXAMS THIS SEASON.
