There is a popular saying “Every educated person is not knowledgeable, but every knowledgeable person is educated”. This may seem a bit backward, but it is true. Nearly all the people are educated these days in their fields, but only some of them have an in-depth understanding of their subjects.
Knowledge is something that remains with us throughout our lives. The way we say that we have got a life lesson, the same way is knowledge. We gain knowledge from our experiences. Knowledge is the most important tool in life, as it has the capability to create and destroy life on Earth as well. KNowledge, if used in the right way, can be very advantageous to human life. It all depends on whether it is in the right hands or not. People may use knowledge in the wrong way as well. Like, we are acknowledging people who create bombs, or plan bomb blasts in parts of the country have an evil mind and they are obviously using their knowledge in the wrong path of life. Moreover, knowledge also helps to distinguish between humans and animals. Using your experience to help others in different phases of life is termed knowledge.
Knowledge is something that helps you in different spheres of life. It helps you to drive a car, manage a business deal, solve a puzzle, etc. It is something that stops people from repeating their mistakes again and again. Knowledge can’t be bought, it has to be earned. It comes to people mostly with experience. Even if a person gains in-depth knowledge of a subject or anything, they may receive utmost knowledge in that field.
Some people don’t share their knowledge with others. But they should know the more you share, the more knowledge you gain. It helps us to reach the success ladders in life.

Social life refers to the interpersonal relationships that people have with anyone, be it their neighbors, or their relatives, or friends. A healthy social life affects our well-being. Social life is important as everyone needs to have a person in their lives with whom they can share their secrets or their normal things.
The importance of social life is extremely felt at festivals like Diwali, Lohri, etc. On Diwali, people go to the houses of their near and dear ones, exchange gifts with them, and greet them with great respect. Social lives are extremely important at this festival.
Associations with family and friends can work wonders. Having a social community and nourishing social connections is essential for all of us to stay healthy and happy. Having good social circles and developing friendships can have many advantages such as sharing knowledge; establishing social skills; and overcoming anxiety levels. There can even be perks to your health, such as strengthening up your immune system.
Loneliness in this era is becoming an increasing problem. Having a social circle eradicates that issue and helps you to find happiness at the same time. With the digital platforms coming up, people often find friends online and forget to live in the real world. Obviously, nothing can compete with face-to-face interactions with people. That is much more comforting. You often form a comfort zone with the people you like and do all sorts of fun with them. That gives us immense pleasure in life. Having friends is important in life as people have a tendency to share their feeling with someone, and who would be better than friends.

People often talk about how women carry a child in their womb for 9 months and go through all the pain but we tend to ignore the part played by men here. He provides emotional and financial support to the woman carrying his child. Be it a good time or a bad time, the one thing that is constantly beside us is our family. Our family supports us even in the worst of times. Each and every member of the family plays an important role in our life. While growing up, we watch stories of superheroes and everyone wants a superhero in his/her life. The role of the superhero is portrayed by our fathers in real life. He is our ideal person in life.
Fathers are the ones who take great care of the family without any selfish reasons. They are the ones on whom every member of the family, whether younger or elder, can rely. To complete a family, both fathers and mothers are mandatory. We just cannot imagine our lives without even one of them. They are the part and parcel of our lives.
For every person, the father is the epitome of strength that helps to bind the family together. Regardless of his own needs, he keeps his family as the first priority. A father works day and night just to satisfy the needs of all his family members. Without even telling, he understands all our needs and tries to satisfy them without saying anything. Just a day is not enough to showcase our respect for our fathers, even a decade would be less to celebrate the day for them. It is like all our days are dedicated to our fathers.
Children generally show love for their fathers on this day by surprising them with some gifts and the things that their fathers like doing. Nowadays people are busy with their hectic schedules so this day is especially to spend some time with family and to appreciate the things that our fathers have done for us.

Racism can be described as the feeling that individual races of people have some peculiar cultural features that are defined by hereditary factors and consequently make some races genetically superior to others. The belief that one race has natural superiority over the others created abusive behavior towards the members of other races.
The belief that a particular race or religion or caste has distinctive cultural traits and that they are much superior to others is completely illogical. There is no such thing as superiority or inferiority. We should consider all people as equal and should not be biased because of any reason, either color, caste, creed, or sex. We all know that this wrong, but we have been following this for ages now. It is like the theory that our ancestors have set and we are bound to follow all those rules and regulations.
We should never judge people according to their color, or the way they speak. We should consider everyone equal and eliminate racism from our country. Though it is almost negligible in the urban cities, but in some of the rural areas, racism still prevails with all its power. The people are getting educated, and with this education, racism should have extinguished by now. India is a land of diverse cultures. People having different castes live with each other. Even when we go to schools or colleges, all the students having different castes sit with each other, make friends irrespective of their castes. But as we grow older, we are taught to discriminate against people on the basis of their color and sometimes sex as well. Women, in our country, are not given much importance and they are degraded for no reason. Even in offices, they have a low grade pay than men. In rural areas, they are not allowed to work. They are just asked to stay at home and manage household chores.

Siblings are the most important person in anyone’s life. My sibling is 7 years younger than me. In my family, there are 4 members including me- my father, mother, my sister, and me. I am really fond of her. The bond between sisters, as we already has always been special. Sisters are someone who grows, cries, and laughs with you. She knows all your mischievous stuff and all your secrets.
My sister is the one with whom I am able to share all my feelings. Some feelings are there which you cannot share with your parents or anyone else, and at that time she is the one who will listen to you and guide you probably on the right path.
My sister has always been my partner in crime. Irrespective of the fact, that I am 7 years elder than her, we do the craziest stuff together. Our mother always gets irritated by our crazy activities. We sing together in our totally silly voices, we dance till we get tired. As a team, we can do miracles. She helps me whenever I need her and she knows that I am there for her whenever she needs me. No matter how far we get, we are always connected by our hearts. People say that the best people are those who are there in your hard times as well as the good ones. And she has been there every time. Sometimes, we can’t celebrate together but I am really assured of the fact that whenever I am depressed or whenever I need her, she is there by my side. She knows me better than anyone else. She knows what I like or dislike. And tries every time to make up for everything. There are obviously some fights in every relationship but we make sure that we overcome them and become really good friends again.

My favorite place in the country is Marine Drive, Mumbai. It is a 3.6 kilometers long promenade along the Netaji Subash Chandra Bose Road in Mumbai. It is a C-shaped six-lane road along the coast of a natural bay. Girgaon Chowpatty is to the northern tip of Marine Drive. And the adjacent road links Nariman Point to Babulnath and Malabar Hills.
Marine Drive is also famous as Queen’s Necklace as when it is viewed from a height, the street lights resemble a string of pearls in a necklace. It is the most calm place to visit either with your friends or family or even alone. If you want peace in your life, you may go there and sit for some time. The place is full of people roaming around, sitting, and even people come here for their evening walk. There are many restaurants also lined up near Marine Drive. The famous Oberoi Hotel is also located near Marine Drive.
There are many events that Marine Drive has hosted in the past few years. IAF Airshow was organized by Marine Drive in the year 2004. Mumbai Marathon was also started by Marine Drive in February 2004. This has been a practice since then. The Mumbai terror attacks took place in 1993, 2003, and 2008. Pakistani terrorists attacked the targets near this place, that is, the Taj Hotel.
If you are visiting this place during the night, you will find many people sitting near the rocks with their friends, having some street food. Many vendors are also present there to sell some famous Bhel Puri and all. You can find people having a walk with their dogs. It is a serene place where you can explore the peace within yourself. It is the perfect place for any mood. Just by sitting there, you can get relieved of almost all your tensions.

Earlier, the air that we used to breathe was fresh and pure, but these days that air had got contaminated by toxic pollutants. And this is what is air pollution. Due to the increase in factories and industrialization, the concentration of poisonous gases has increased in the atmosphere. In addition to this, the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation also adds to the toxic substances in the air.
There are many causes of air pollution. The burning of fossil fuels, smoke released from factories, volcanic eruptions, forest fires, CFCs, carbon oxides are all the major reasons behind our air getting contaminated. Apart from these reasons, industrial waste, agricultural waste have also added up to air pollution.
The fossil fuels that are burned in the environment produce oxides of carbon that are harmful to the environment. Earlier, there used to be many trees which man has cut down now for their selfish reasons. People cut down trees for building factories, houses, and using the land for different reasons. Trees filter the air that we breathe in. Now, since the number of trees has been reduced to a larger extent, so the filtering process does not take place much often. Also, for the past few years, fossil fuels are burning at a higher pace which has increased the number of pollutants in the air.
As responsible citizens, we should avoid doing such things that increase air pollution. We should indulge in reforestation. Planting more trees would result in a decrease in air pollution. Also, after the installation of industries, the gases that are sent out by the factories should be refined which would help minimize the toxic gases in the atmosphere. We can also start using eco-friendly fuels like CNG, LPG, etc. In this way, the harmful toxic gases would be minimized in the atmosphere.

The amount of water vapor present in the atmosphere is called humidity. Water vapor, as we know is the gaseous form of water. Humidity comprises only of the vapor particles and not water in any liquid form like fog, or rain. Approximately 50 percent of the total atmospheric vapor is concentrated in the lower atmosphere up to the height of 2000 meters.
Deserts are the areas that have low humidity and tropical regions have high humidity. If we say, the area is humid, that means the humidity of that region is very high. A humid place gives the feeling of wet air. The temperature is very high in a humid place.
There are three primary measurements of humidity. They are Absolute Humidity, Relative Humidity, and Specific Humidity. Absolute Humidity determines the water content of the air and is represented either in grams per cubic meter or grams per kilograms. Relative Humidity is expressed in the form of a percentage. It indicates the amount of absolute humidity relative to the maximum humidity provided the temperature remains the same. Specific Humidity refers to the ratio of water vapor mass to the total moist air parcel mass.
The instrument used to measure humidity is called hygrometers. Humidity also affects the rate of evaporation. Humidity and the rate of evaporation are inversely proportional. As humidity increases, the rate of evaporation decreases. When the humidity is high, the rate of evaporation of sweat from the skin decreases. In this high humidity, the blood brought to the body surface cannot dissipate heat by the process of conduction. When so much blood is dissipated to the outside world, the amount of blood left for the active muscles of the body, brain, and internal organs decrease. The physical strength of the body decreases and fatigue occurs sooner.

Monsoon is the season that is almost liked by everyone. It comes after summer so people get relieved from the unbearable heat. Children mostly like to play in the rain. Some children also make boats that they would float on the water collected in front of their homes or their terraces. People like to eat Pakoras in this season.
Though this season protects people from the scorching sun rays of the summer but it also brings many diseases along with it. People who like to get wet in the rain tend to bring home many diseases. This combination of humid climate, heavy rains, and strong winds tend to infect people with a lot of diseases. Viral fever is one of the common diseases that people can catch by getting wet in the rainy season. Along with viral fever, catching a cold and cough, swine flu, stomach infections are also some common health problems that people catch very easily.
One should avoid getting wet in the rain, especially in the first rain of the season as it is very dangerous for our body. It contains pollutants and toxic gases which make the water acidic and harmful for our skin. One should avoid eating street food these days. We should prefer having a healthy and balanced diet. We should try and keep our homes clean during the rainy season. We should stay protected from mosquitoes in this season especially as they may infect us with many diseases.
Diseases like cholera spread in this season. It is mainly caused by drinking contaminated water. It generally spreads in places with poor sanitation facilities. There is one more disease that spreads by contaminated food or water- Typhoid. Viral fever also infects people in this season. The moment a person gets wet in the rain, he starts sneezing and catches a cold. That is the symptom of viral infection.

Rainwater harvesting is a practice in which rainwater is collected and stored rather than letting it run off on the surface. Rainwater is generally collected on roof-like surfaces that is then redirected to a safer place like a tank, cistern, etc. It is redirected so that it seeps down the surface and restores along with the groundwater.
Rainwater harvesting is one of the oldest methods that has been adopted by people to store water and then reuse it for household purposes. It is like a self-supply of water. As we know that rainwater is the purest form of water, it can directly be stored and used as such, but for safety purposes, many people tend to use that water only after a certain process. That water undergoes many filtration techniques and then is being used by people. This water is used to provide drinking water, water for livestock, irrigation, and maybe an initiative by people to replenish the ground levels.
Many industries follow rainwater harvesting. Frankfurt Airport has the biggest system installed in Germany. They save nearly 1 million cubic centimeters of water per year. The system collects water from the roof that covers an area of 26,800 square meters. The water is collected in the basement of the airport. The airport has six water tanks installed in the basement where the rainwater finally gets stored. This water is then brought to use by them for various purposes like watering plants, cleaning their air conditioner systems, etc.
People know the value of water and therefore try to save by taking all possible measures. Rainwater harvesting is one of the oldest techniques that is followed by people to be self-sufficient. These days, schools, colleges, and many industries have also started to harvest the rainwater and use it wisely. They also save money by doing this.

Rainwater, as we know, is the purest form of water. Most people tend to store rainwater and use it for drinking and other household chores. Though it is advisable to boil the water first and then drink but many people do not follow this and use that water as it is. However, the first rain of the season is not quite good and really not safe for storage.
It is a fact that the first rain of the season is not very safe to get wet nor safe for storage purposes. It is believed that the first rain of the month is acidic because of the presence of pollutants in the atmosphere. The toxic gases tend to combine with the water to form destructive acids which are not good for our body.
We know about the process of the water cycle which helps in the formation of rain. Rain falls from clouds, but have we ever wondered from where do the clouds come in the atmosphere. Clouds are formed of water that is evaporated from the water bodies. Some plants exhale oxygen along with water during their process of photosynthesis. When that water, along with the water from the water bodies evaporate, it evaporates in the form of water vapor. When that water vapor cools down and condenses, they are converted to solid or liquid form, they turn into clouds. With more water condensing onto other water droplets, the droplets become stronger and bigger in size. When they get too heavy to stay in that cloud, they fall on the Earth in the form of rain. Clouds are the major element of the water cycle as they hold the water till their last breath and when it gets impossible to hold onto that, they suspend the water particles that fall on the Earth’s surface as Rain.

Every grain of sand has a story attached to it. Sand may come from various locations, sources, or environments. It is not easier for people to recognize what type of sand it is. Sand is formed from the weathering of rocks. The breaking down of rocks, while they are in contact with water, atmospheric gases, or biological organisms, is called weathering of rocks. Weathering is basically divided into two types- physical weathering and chemical weathering.
Physical weathering comprises of the breakdown of rocks by some means of mechanical effects of heat, water, or other agents. While chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks using chemical reactions that may take place with water, atmospheric gases, or any biologically produced chemicals.
For thousands and millions of years, rocks follow this process of weathering. They take time to decompose, especially quartz and feldspar. Rocks take many years to reach a water body. Starting thousands of miles away from the oceans, or beaches, they slowly travel down rivers and streams, continually breaking down along their way. Once they make it to the beach area, they are in constant touch with the water that flows near them. They further break down into even smaller pieces from the continual action of waves and tides.
The big rocks that reach the beach area are broken down into many smaller pieces which are called mud. The silt and clay particles are too small to be seen by the naked eyes. The broken pieces of the rocks that are somewhat bigger in size and can be held in our hands are called sand. The rocks break down into bigger bits and that is called sand. When the sand is there on the ground, it all seems to be of one color but if we hold it in our hands, we get to see the actual blend of different colors that are mixed together.

A detailed and careful study about something to explore more about that field is termed research. It refers to new knowledge developing or using the existing knowledge to get in-depth knowledge about something. These days research is gaining an all-new wave as the world is becoming modern and all we need are some new ways to deal with it. Research is getting more common these days so as to generate new concepts, methodologies, and understandings using some creativity.
The main purpose of research is to gather shreds of evidence for the theories that have already been written by some scientists. It also contributes towards more learning for the people. For many people, whether they belong to the scientific institution or not, are keen to explore more in diverse fields.
It is already proved how research is valuable in today’s time. It plays a crucial role in many people’s lives. So many people depend on their research work for their living. Basically, it is a tool for building knowledge and promoting learning. It is mostly used for expanding public awareness. It is a means to understand the issues in the society, working on them, and hence coming out with some ideas to eliminate that issue without harming anyone. Even in schools, colleges, and offices, research is the major thing that everyone follows. In most companies, there is a separate department by the name Research and Development, where a team is specially designed to work on different products. A design is first made of the product by that team and then their feasibility is checked if they would be able to perform in the real world. In colleges, students are taught to write research papers using some specific tools. Students explore more about the topic that they want to write about, read more books, do their study on Google, and start writing their research papers, which sometimes get published as well.

Autumn is one of the four major seasons in India. It is also known as the fall season as the leaves start falling from the branches in this season. When the season transforms from summer to winter, autumn plays the role of a season changer.
There is a sequence of all the seasons in India. The months of December, January, and February are full of cold weather and hence called the winter season. Then comes the Spring season which occurs in the months of March, April, and May. Thereafter, the Summer season starts in the month of June and ends in August. Then comes the autumn season which starts after Summer i.e. September and prevails till November.
Every season has its own characteristics. During this season, the leaves start falling from the trees. Because of lack of rain, they start drying up and fall, and then the new leaves are scheduled to come up in the winter season.
Everything turns from green to yellow in this season. the fallen leaves cover the face of Mother Earth. Animals and birds start preparing for the winter season. Some birds start migrating from one place to another. Small animals like squirrels and mice start storing food for the upcoming season so they do not have to move out of their holes in winters. Some animals prepare for their hibernation by finding warm places for themselves.
This season is the best for growing vegetation like carrots, cauliflowers, grapes, etc. These fruits and vegetables are the gifts of this season. Also, the major festivals of our country fall during this season. Durga Puja is celebrated in Autumn.
This season is generally loved by all the people as it is kind of a moderate season, neither is it very hot nor very cold.
