Love is the best feeling of
humanity, which makes us true human beings.
Love towards humanity cannot be bound in the
narrow limits of caste or religion. Any person
who has the feelings of affection and pity in
his heart can devote his whole life in service
of mankind. Mother Teresa was one of the greatest
souls on the earth who served the humanity with
selfless love. She is called the idol of affection,
love, pity and service.
Mother Teresa was born on Aug, 26, 1910 in the
small town of Skopji in Yugoslavia. The name
of her father was Albanian who was a builder
by profession. Her childhood name was Bohajheu.
She decided to become a nun at the age of 18.
For this, she joined the Loreto Centre of Nuns.
From there she got the message to go to India.
Mother Teresa came to India in 1929 to work
as a teacher in Loreto Atlay School, Calcutta.
Due to her abilities and hard work she soon
became the principal of the school. Human suffering
saddened her. On December 10, 1946 when she
was going to Darjeeling by train, she heard
the call of her conscience. She felt that she
should serve the poor by staying with them.
She left the school. In 1950 she founded 'Missionaries
of Charity'.
In 1948 she opened a school for children living
in slums. Then she founded an inn 'Nirmal Hriday'
near Kali Temple where helpless people could
get shelter. She, along with her fellow sisters
used to heal the patients living in streets
and lanes. She was named Teresa after the 16th
century's famous nun of Saint Teresa.
In the beginning, she wandered in the city in
search of poor patients. First she lived in
Creek Lane and later shifted to Circular Road.
This building is now known as 'Mother House.'
In 1952, first Nirmal Hirday Center was founded.
This institution runs 169 educational centers,
1369 welfare centers and 755 Shelter Houses.
Mother Teresa had lot of patience and kindness.
She had unbounded affection for sick, old, hungry
and the deprived. She served the old, helpless,
sick and tortured women for 50 years. She brought
light in the life of destitute and handicapped
children right till her last breath. She gave
her whole life to serve the suffering people.
Mother Teresa suffered from heart disease and
had been pulling on with the help of pacemaker
since 1989. She died in September 1997.
Mother Teresa who served the suffering human
beings with love is no more with us. We should
follow her path in serving the destitute, helpless
and sick people. This will be our tribute to
her.

AN
EXCITING INCIDENT |

My joy knew no bounds when I
came to know about my father's friend, uncle
Tahir's marriage ceremony in Kashmir. But the
tickets were not available. All the trains were
full. So we decided to go by plane. I was so
excited to travel by plane that I could't sleep
that night.
At the airport, when I saw the plane standing
like a giant in front of me, I realised the
boon of science and technology to mankind. As
we entered, the air hostess welcomed us and
took us to our seats.
After few minutes it was announced that the
plane is going to take-off and we need to fasten
the belts. While the plane was taking off, I
felt like my heart is coming to my throat. My
heart beat increased. I felt a tickling in my
ribs. I was enjoying a lot. It was a superb
experience. After sometime, the plane was flying
in the clouds.
The world seemed to be left far behind and every
thing below seemed to become of match stick
size, ponds looked like purse mirrors. Trees
were not more than a small pencil and people
on earth were looking like insects and rivers
like snakes. I was so excited that I wished
this journey never ends. Then, after a few minutes
there came a beautiful air hostess with a tray
in her hand. There were light snacks in it and
a chocolate for me.
I was so happy to get a tasty chocolate. I had
forgotten everything and was looking out of
the window where there were thick clouds. I
was so absorbed in observing the nature closely
that I didn't notice the announcement that we
are going to land at Bhalla airport.
We again fastened our belts and underwent the
same feelings I experienced at the time of the
take-off. When our plane landed at the airport
I found uncle Tahir waiting for us. I was so
excited, so happy and now, so eager to make
another such journey.

Once upon a time, there lived
a boy named Rahul. He was a naughty boy but
very good at heart. Rahul had no friends to
play with. At the school, in the recess time,
he sat in a corner and watched other children
play. Sometimes he felt so sad that he started
crying. Once in the recess time, while he was
crying, someone spoke, "Rahul why do I
see you always crying?" Rahul was puzzled,
he looked every where but could find no one.
Finally he knew that it was his shadow. Rahul
said, "I always cry because I don't have
any friends to play with. "Then you should
be very nice and after you make friends you
will have to care for them". Rahul said,
"Yes, you said the right thing". "I'll
start following it from tomorrow." The
next day when he went to school, he saw a little
girl crying. He went to the girl and asked her
why she was crying. She told him that she was
crying because she had a wound on her hand.
Rahul took her to the first aid room. He took
care of the girl in the playground and they
became good friends. Now with a friend by his
side, Rahul had no reason to cry.

Once upon a time there was a
boy named Aman. He was very good in studies
but had a bad habit of telling lies. Once his
father gave him a story book and said, "If
you read this book completely, I will give you
a prize. "He did so to see whether his
son really spoke lies or not. In the evening,
when he came back from office, Aman said, "Father
please give me my prize, I have finished reading
the book." The father knew that his son
had been lying all these days. He said to his
son, "Had you read the book, you would
have got your prize as well. I have kept a hundred
rupee note inside the book." Hearing this,
Aman felt very ashamed and he promised his father
not to tell a lie in future again.

A
VISIT TO ZOO |

Last Sunday our family decided
to visit the zoo. Our group included my parents
brother, sister and myself. We went by car and
proceeded to the Lucknow zoo.
My father bought the tickets. The campus was
very big. First we went to see the cage of tigers.
They were magnificent and there were many varieties
of tigers including the white tiger. Then we
proceeded towards the section of leopards and
elephants.
At the snake house we saw various types of snakes
like cobras, pythons etc. We also saw the beautiful
deer and the famous Himalayan bear.
After that we went to birds' cage and saw various
types of birds. We also saw giraffe and many
more animals. The most amazing thing about this
zoo is that the animals here were not kept in
small cages. They were left to feel free in
natural surroundings.
As we were tired and hungry, we proceeded towards
the restaurant at the zoo campus and had pizza
and cold drink. After that we went for boating.
The weather was cloudy and we enjoyed the boating
very much.
Suddenly we heard the noise of a loud siren.
We came to know that it was 6 O'clock and the
zoo was to be closed. On hearing this, we packed
our things and returned home after a very enjoyable
day.
