A day in the life of a river

-

 Hello,nice to meet you! I am a river. One day, I was taking a stroll.

Then, I tumbled down a mountain. I said to the mountain,"Hi, my name is Godavari. Will you be my friend?" It said,"Hi, I am Bhimkari Mountain. From today, we are friends." Then, I waved goodbye to my friend and flowed away.

Suddenly, I got trapped in a dam. I pleaded to the dam to let me go. The dam said,"OK, I will let you go. But first, you have to be a friend of mine. I don't have any friends. " I said,"OK, I am Godavari. What's your name, my friend?" The dam replied," My name is  Sriram Sagar."

"Oh,it looks like that you are a very famous dam."

"Yes, I am a dam belonging to Telangana. Hey, can I call you Gautami?"

"OK, can I call you Pochampadu?"

OK, bye Gautami!"

"Bye, Pochampadu!"

Next, I flowed away to a village. Some naughty boys threw pebbles on me. But. the pebbles didn't hurt me. Suddenly, a boy tripped over a pebble and fell over me. Many people came and rescued him. At evening, I flowed back home sadly as the factories polluted me. 

Today, I am in a respectable position. I am a sacred river for people.Thousands of them come to Markandeya temple in Rajamahendravaram, Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, India, which is located at the ghats of myself. But I am a good river friend for Bhimkari mountain and Sriram Sagar dam.

Child education

-
 "Children are the future citizens of the country" makes sense. You know that some children are child labours. Yes, you know that. But why? Why some children are child labours. The reason is poverty. Yes, poverty is the reason of child labour. Because of poverty, parents can't feed their children. Suppose, a man with his wife and his daughter lives in a village. Now, this man is extremely poor. He can't feed himself and also his daughter. So, he went for work to earn money. He also engaged his daughter in agricultural work. So, this is what we call child labour. But this is wrong. We should not engage children in labour work. Education is very important for 3 to 18 years children. So what did the government do? It started building free schools, colleges and universities. But then also some parents are not sending their children to school. Why? Because if their children go to school, who will do the work? Finally, the government started the Anganwadi system. It said,...

Whispers from the Past

-
 In a quiet Indian village, whispers of an unsettling tale echoed through generations. It was the story of betrayel, a forbidden friendship, and a relentless spirit seeking justice. Twelve-year-old Aanya lived with her family in a quaint house passed down through the years. Her brother, Arjun, had left the village to study abroad, becoming the first foreign-educated youth from their community. His friendship with Meera, the daughter of their maid, had not gone unnoticed. The villagers and, more prominently, their grandfather, who was the village chief, had frowned upon this unconventional bond. Many years ago, Aanya's grandfather had taken drastic measures to end the friendship between Arjun and Meera. On a fateful night, in the shadows of the ancestral house, he had taken Meera's life, severing her connection with Arjun forever. Now, Aanya's sister-in-law, Anjali, newly wedded into the family, found herself inexplicably possessed by a vengeful female spirit – the tormented...

Indus Valley civilisation

-
 The Indus valley civilisation, also known as the Harappan civilisation or Indus civilisation, was a Bronze Age in the northwestern regions of South Asia, lasting from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE, and in its mature form from 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE.  It covered an area of one million square kilometres. It had the largest population and territory of all the Bronze Age civilisations like Mesopotamia, Egypt and ancient China.  Like almost all early civilisations the Indus Civilisation grew around dank river valleys. Their farmers were able to grow a massive food surplus along the banks of the Indus and Ghaggar-Hakra rivers. But we have no evidence of  Kings or priests for the Harappans. No royal tombs or palaces. No evidence for a state religion. No temples, pyramids or ziggurats. No signs of an army, weapons, slaves or powerful political capitals. One of the defining features of Harappan culture is how planned their cities and towns were. They tended to focus on 3 main aspects l...
