ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN BEING

Two types of environment we may come across. One is the natural environment of the air, water, solid wastes, noise, radiation, soil, timber, wildlife and living space etc. The second one is the man-made environment that deals with work environment, housing, technology, aesthetics, transportation, utilities, settlement, urbanization and so on. These environmental components are considered as the resources and are mostly exploited and utilized by the men to fulfill their basic physical needs they can be considered as the fellow members of the global eco-system with which men establish emotional, intellectual, or physical relationships and these provide the basis for a sense of purpose of life to them. Thus, man is firmly placed as an important part of the global ecosystem, which depends on him much as he depends on it. Hence, there is a close relationship between man and environment. Different groups of people working in different areas express it in various ways. When physical scientists talk about environment they generally refer to the physical environment that comprises the three inter locking systems the Atmosphere, the Hydrosphere and the Lithosphere. Biologists often refer to biological environment consisting of all living organisms of the Biosphere. Similarly social scientists refer to the social, cultural, economic and organizational environment. Hence environment may be defined as "the sum of all social, cultural, economical, biological, physical and chemical factors surrounding the 'man' to give necessary protection to him."

GANESH CHATURTHI FESTIVAL STORY

Lord Ganesha holds a very significant place in the Hindu religion. He is usually worshipped as the remover of obstacles and all who desire their ambitions to be fulfilled and wishes gratified are recommended to worship him.

Any religious activity begins with the worship of Lord Ganesha. Of all the deities he is the most favourite. His wives are Riddhi and Siddhi.

According to the Hindu mythology, the elephant-headed deity of prudence Lord Ganesha is the elder son of Shiva and Parvati. It is said that Ganesha was actually a creation of Godesses Parvati.

She created him in the absence of Lord Shiva; One day she asked little Ganesh to keep a watch on the door and not to allow anybody in without her permission. Ganesha obeyed his mother.

At that very time Lord Shiva came and obeying his mother he did not allow his father to enter the room. On this act many other deities tried to remove Ganesh from the door but in vain. Therefore, Lord Shiva cut Ganesha's head by his trishula.

Just then there appeared Parvati, and seeing the condition of her son she got very angry. Then, Lord Shiva ordered the deities to place an elephant-head or Ganesha's body and thus Ganesha was brought to life.

Owing to his head he is also known as Gajanan. His other famous name is Ekdant, Arunvarna, Lambodar, etc.

Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with a belief that Lord Ganesha, son of Shiva and Parvati, bestows His blessings on His devotees, on this day. It is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the God of wisdom. Ganesh Chaturthi falls on the fourth day of the Hindu month of Bhadrapada, which falls around August or September. The occasion becomes very lively and enthusiastic with the devotional songs, dances and drum beats being a part of the procession observed by the devotees of Lord Ganesha, as a part of the festivities. Ganesh Chaturthi is the only festival that involves and welcomes the participation of general public.

"There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort"

ENTRY FOR MAKE MY HOME CONTEST 

                 (CONTEMPORARY)

"Home is different from a house. A house is only a building while a home is a building full of love and care. "

Every person treasures a place of his own, a place where beautiful memories are embedded. Or it can be some area where an individual feels at ease. As for myself, there can be no place like this other than my home.

I love my home. I feel safe, I am comfortable and I am loved. A home can't be a home without our parents and our loved ones. But sad to say, some are experiencing that eventhough their loved ones are in their houses, they are not loving each other. There is a big war. You can't call it a home. y home, it's a place of comfort, somewhere I look forward to going to. Although some of us may not have created it in the structural matter, we created the atmosphere and warmth to ones personal liking. My home is much more than a physical place, it makes me feel good. My home is my dwelling place.


When I was young, I remembered I was about to stumble in the stairs in our old house.I was alone for that moment. When my GRANDPA  was about to save me, she suddenly stopped. I have no idea what had happened next, but I am sure I did not fall.

Contemporary style is defined by its simplicity. Smooth lines, neutral colors, and furnishings free from embellishment keep the space looking fuss-free and open. While contemporary style shares many design elements with modern style, warmer neutrals, softer edges, and the introduction of natural materials separate it from its parent style, making it look more comfortableI have picked 3 items to bring some contemporary changs in my home.

FIVE REASONS TO HAVE FRIENDS IN LIFE

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

"FRIENDS ARE LIKE TEARS WHENEVER WE FEEL SAD THEY AUTOMATICALLY COME TO PROTECT US FROM  SADNESS."

A FRIEND IS ONE WHO KNOWS YOU AND LOVES YOU JUST THE SAME MEANS WITHOUT ANY CHANGES IN YOUR PERSON...
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeable.
