Some people some people think that saying yes is hard but the most most effective thing in the world The True Is to say no to people. Say no to paper can be a very tough task as you may be considered rude person or wrong person to deal with. You may have noticed whenever you say yes to person or to his wishes you always get positive responses, but when you reject his or her proposal or say no to their Idea or wishes you become a bad person for them.
This habit of always saying yes causes us to walk extra miles to please anyone by saying ‘Yes’ to everything. This is a very wrong habit and we should always avoid this. We should not always give in to a person’s wishes just because we think that they may feel bad. Standing up for the right thing and rejecting a wrong proposal should always be our motto.
The act of saying ‘No’ is not always that easy, even though when you are dominated by the person asking to do so. You may face serious consequences. May be that’s why we usually say, how can we say no to him/her but ultimately for whatever reasons we end up saying ‘Yes’. All these small ‘Yes’ lead us many times to grave problems and then we hear ‘You should have declined the idea at first hand.’ Therefore, learn to say ‘No’ when there is time. It is of no use to cry over spilled milk later. You must not say at the time when you already have fallen into serious consequences.
Ways of saying know some people say it politely others say that harshly and some people are just dumb. A proposal rejected politely is always taken in a positive attitude by all and if your life is filled with others request and you don’t care about your own name then your life will be a mess therefore saying no to think that you don’t like all you don’t want to do is always a great choice in this way you won’t hurt other people as well as also wont to raise their expectations. So if you want to change your life in a positive way you should always say no to things that you won’t be able to do or you don’t want to do. This will lead you to live a happy life and also people will admire you for your straightforwardness and you would not hurt others.

Amphibians is a cold-blooded vertebrate animal that is born in water and breathes with gills. As the larva grows into its adult form, the animal’s lungs develop the ability to breathe air, and the animal can live on land. Thus they are also described as animals which can live both on land and in
Water.Frogs, toads, and salamanders are all amphibians.They are distinguished from other animals by having an aquatic gill-breathing at larval stage followed by a terrestrial lung-breathing adult stage.This is a very unique feature of the amphibians.

Waste materials produced by human beings are very harmful to the environment. They cause a lot of pollution and degradation of our natural resources. Waste product can be classified into two types depending on their ability to degrade.
The first category of waste is biodegradable waste. This category of waste contains items such as vegetable peels, remains of fruits, plant leaves, excrement of various living organisms, dead decaying matter etc.
All this type of waste can be degraded naturally over a period of time. These waste do not pollute or cause harm to the environment. They get decomposed after sometime on their own. They do not cause any serious harm to the environment and are used as natural compost and manure. These types of waste enrich the soil with good bacteria and nutrients.
The second category of waste is the non biodegradable waste. The examples of this kind of waste include plastic ,polythene ,thermocol ,metal ,glass, fabrics ,shoes etc.
These waste material do not degrade in the environment and cause severe harm to the surroundings. This category of waste also include the e-waste which include our electronic waste like computer parts, parts of mobile phones, chargers etc. These waste should be disposed properly so that they can be reused and recycled if possible. This type of which should not be mixed with biodegradable waste as the biodegradable waste will be of no use afterwards.
The non biodegradable type of waste stays in the environment for long periods of time and takes hundreds and thousands of years to decay. Because various harmful and polluting effects to the environment and therefore their use should be reduced. The focus should be on recycling more and more items so that wastage can be minimised and pollution can be controlled.

Planet earth is home to a million of Living Organisms. We human share our homes or the planet with the wide variety of living organisms. We all are dependent on each other for various reasons. All the other living organisms including human beings depend on plants for their food as without plant none of us would be able to survive. Additionally, plants also provide us with the life giving Oxygen and various other products. Similarly we depend on different organisms for different needs. The earth has a large amount of biodiversity. Human being in addition with all the other living organisms how make Complex structure ecological system in which we all have a part to play and are quite the dependent on this whole system for our survival.
Like plants provide us with food and air, similarly microorganisms help in decomposing dead and decaying matter and replenish the quality of soil which used while production of our food without which we won’t be able to survive.
This interaction of living being with their surrounding environment is known as ecosystem. In other words when the living organisms like human being microorganism interact with the non living organism or the components of the environment, it creates a healthy balance. Both the components are able to minimise the losses and increase the gains. This benifits everybody. Healthy system of dependability is known as ecosystem. An ecosystem consists of both living and nonliving factors generally known as biotic and abiotic components of the environment. An ecosystem can be very used light the aquatic ecosystem or the Marine ecosystem which comprises of thousands of species of living and nonliving organisms or it can be very small like a community of lichens mosses etc.

So basically when the East India Company first entered India they were just simple merchants, who used to buy goods from the Indian market and sell them abroad at Higher prices. Soon Indian Textiles and handicraft became so much popular in Britain that the British wool industry almost collapsed and suffered huge losses. The European traders were very unhappy with this and asked the British government to take checks and measures to support the English wool industry.
Therefore the European government banned use of Indian textiles but still they remained popular among the people of Britain and Europe.
With the advent of industrialisation in Europe and especially Britain manufacturing different items became cheaper. Now they were looking for raw material and well established market to sell their manufactured goods.
The English East India Company started exporting British manufactured goods in India with the aim of creating India A Marketplace of British manufactured goods. As the administration of some states like Bengal had also passed into the hands of the British, they now extracted revenues from the local people put their benefits and tried to control the Indian trade. The company used political control and utilised its revenues of Bengal to finance the exports of Indian goods. The Weavers from Bengal were forced to sell their product is a very cheaper tries to the British with they had fixed even if they had to face huge losses. The British imported cheap and fine quality raw materials from India and sold their manufactured goods at very high prices all around the world. Indian weavers lost both domestic and foreign markets after 1813 due to the process of industrialisation in Britain. The agricultural India was made the raw material factory of the industrial England. The British government promoted free entry of British goods into the country while Indian goods had to pay a huge amount of entry tax while entering Britain.
Indian Handicrafts were forced to to compete a cut throat competition with British machine manufactured goods.
India was transformed into a consumer of British goods and a supplier of raw materials. It was forced to export raw materials like raw cotton and silk and materials like tea and Indigo which were in short supply in Britain and therefore the Indian market of manufactured goods and handicraft was ruined completely because of the British industrialisation.

The difference between boiling point and melting point is very wide. To understand this concept let us consider the example of water. As we all know water is found in different phases or states in the nature. In the solid state it is found as Ice, in the liquid state as water and in the gaseous state as steam or water vapour. So how is water able to change it’s phases. It does so with the help of heat. When heat is applied to water it’s heats up and changes from liquid state to gaseous state (steam) or when heat is taken from the liquid state or in other words if it is cooled down, the liquid water changes it’s phase to it’s solid form i.e. ice. So while observing this whole process we should think about a fact that there must be a certain temperature at which the liquid changes to it’s gaseous state.
This temperature at which a liquid changes into its gaseous form is known as it’s boiling temperature. Different liquids have different boiling point or temperature. For water 100°C is known as the boiling point.
And similarly every liquid must possess a temperature at which it changes it’s state from liquid to solid phase. Therefore this temperature at which a solid changes it’s phase from solid to liquid is known as the melting point. Similarly like the boiling point, the melting point is also different for different elements. For water the melting point is 0°C.

We human beings require to communicate with each other in order to express our views. Communication was one of the best inventions and plays one of the key roles in human life today. Without communication we would not have been able to express our thoughts freely and could not have been so technologically advanced.
Communication can be of various forms such as through speech,through expressions, through body language etc. Forms of communication can also be distinguished as written communication which include email, letter, quotes, posts etc. Also communication can be done to a single individual or to a large number of people. Such type of communication in which a single piece of information can be communicated to a large group of people , it is called as mass communication. Newspaper is an example of mass communication. With the help of newspaper lakhs and lakhs of people can be informed about any news Or happenings around the world. In this form of communication the printed paper acts as a medium to spread knowledge and information to large group of people. It is very helpful in communicating a person’s thoughts and ideas to a larger audience. Newspaper now forms a essential part of human life. The first newspaper in India was the Bengal gazette which was launched by a British citizen in the early 19th century. From then the newspaper industry of India is beaming and has become a key part in human life.

First let’s talk about what is lightning how does it occur? As we all are familiar to lightning, we know it is a flash of light accompanied by a loud sound. It can also cause death of the people or other living organisms.
Lightning occurs due to the phenomenon of rubbing. It happens when two oppositely charged ions rub against each other to produce electric currents. When a storm occurs the air air present in the surrounding starts moving upwards and they have a collision with the water droplets present in the environment. This droplets become the careers of the electric charge. The rubbing together of these water droplets cause the charge to glow and produce electric currents. Lightning occurs between two oppositely charged clouds or between a cloud and the ground.
It is always notice that the lightning occurs first and then you sound come a few second afterwards. This phenomenon is due to a simple fact that light travels faster than sound in air. The speed of light is the fastest in the air and cannot be matched. It is 3×10( to the power of 8) and therefore we can hear the sound after the lightening.

Human beings require some essential components to live on this planet Earth. Sunlight plants food water soil are some such components without which life would not be possible on this planet. So for life to continue water is an essential resource. Without water no living organism can survive on this planet. Water plays a vital role in many key functions in our day to day life. Nowadays water is also used for various other purposes other than just life processes. Some of the important uses of water are listed below:
1.Water supports life in the aquatic biome. It forms the base of the marine ecosystem. Without water living creatures like fishes, whales etc won’t exist.
2.It is used for the generation of electricity
3.It is used as a coolant and lubricant in various industries.
4. It boosts the tourism of many sites and generates revenue.
5.It forms the basis of all life functions in human beings and other living creatures.
6.It helps plants create food through photosynthesis, without which no living creature will get energy.
Human being have exploited all the resources very much. The story of water resources is no different. Water resources have undergone major pollution due to Industrial waste which are released untreated into the water bodies. Also people bathe in waters, wash clothes, bathe cattle, release household waste in water bodies etc. All these activities have lead to serious water pollution crisis.
Also, humans don’t use their existing resources judiciously. If water pollution and it’s overuse continues at such a high rate then,soon we would run out of fresh water resources.
We as responsible citizens should make sure that we Do not waste water and use it judiciously. Here are some steps you can follow to reduce the wastage of water in your houses.
1. Don’t keep the tap on while brushing.
2. Instead of shower take a bucket bath
3. Try to reuse the water. Water used for washing Vegetables etc. can be used to water the kitchen garden plants
Always try to come up with more innovative ways to save water. Water is the most essential resource and it is our duty to protect it from depletion and over pollution.

Light bulb is one of the the most revolutionary inventions in the history of mankind. It has become an essential part of our lives now. We cannot imagine our life without the light bulb and thanks to to sir Thomas Alva Edison for inventing the light bulb. Edison in 1879 patented electric light bulb. But it is injustice to give credit to only sir Edison because many scientists help them in this way by inventing electric lamps, electricity etc. Without light bulb the history of humankind would have been dark as there would have been no nightlife.

The Mughal Empire declined during the first half of 18th century. The rulers lost their power and the empire was left only to a few square miles around the capital of Delhi. Delhi was also later captured by the Britishers and the Mughal emperor was made the pensioner of the foreign power. The stability of the Empire had been lost after the strong reign of Aurangzeb yet it continued to prevail because of its policies. The main reason for the decline of the Mughal rule is their in house fights.
The close relative and Sons of the ruler fought among themselves for power and money. Often the ruler what imprisoned and tortured by his own sons. Also due to this in house fight outsiders tried to take the advantage. They tried to seize the power from the Mughal princes and administer the Empire freely. Also the Mughal policies with their contemporary Hindu rulers was not very tolerable. This led to a large number of wars between them and therefore the mughal empire succumbed due to lack of funds and also, recruiting a strong army and paying salaries was getting difficult for the mughal rulers.
The last mughal emperor bahadur shah zafar, was declared as the leader of 1857 revolt but his lack of leadership skills and also the lack of a good trained army and weapons made him loose the control of delhi. And with this blow mughal empire officially came to an end.

We all have something or the other to cherish life long in the form of memories. These memory are very special to us and nothing can compare with the smile that we have on our face while we think of those moments. These memory keep us strong while we lose our faith and hope. They are our treasure of of happiness and strength always helping us when we need them.
Today I will share my one such memory that never fails to bring a smile on my face along with Tears in my eyes. I was the only girl child in my house among all my cousin brothers. Not to mention the special attention I used to get from everyone. Be it brothers uncle or grandfather. They all used to love me unconditionally.
One day in the school I saw one of my friends bringing some fancy chocolate. I soon got tempted and wanted to get the same. After I returned home I asked my grandfather if he would accompany me to the market to buy that chocolate. He agreed happily and started to get ready.
As soon as we reached the market I realised that I don’t even know the name of the chocolates. I told my grandfather that I could not remember the name of the chocolates but I can describe them to the shopkeeper. I will never forget what happened afterwards. My grandfather visited tens of shops just for me, so that i can buy those chocolates. I felt bad and asked him to return but he was adamant. He only returned home after buying me those chocolates. I was very small at that time but this memory of my grandfather is still alive in my heart even after 14 years of his death. After our loved one leave us their memories are our only way of remembering them and keeping them alive in our hearts.
