Wat was disappointing about the IPL-3 stadium experience was how peripheral the
game had become. Watching a match at Kotla or even Eden Gardens where the spectators are
generally more clued in - is never going to be like a day out at Lord's. We shouldn't even expect
it to be. But it shouldn't also be reduced to watching the cricket with one's view obstructed by
inerbriated and obese men trying their dance moves. The lacklustre cheerleaders and the ear
splitting music in between deliveries only added to the discomfort. One might be forgiven for
treating T20, and in particulars IPL, as 'entertainment' rather than a sporting experience. But
one would expect that the actual match would be more important than the bells and whistles.
(from 'Not just Cricket' by Ronojoy sen, Times of India 22.4.2010)

I am very happy to inform you that I have secured a good rank in the EAMCET examination. This, I feel,
was largely due to the excellent coaching provided by the teachers of this college. You have also contributed to my success through your inspiring/motivating speeches during the assembly. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart.
As you are aware, we need to submit transfer, bonafide and conduct certificates in the engineering
college. Therefore, may I request you to instruct the office to issue me these certificates. I have already
submitted the "No-dues certificate".
With regards
Yours faithfully

Dear Mamatha

How are you? It's ages since we communicated with each other. I think it's mainly because of our preoccupation with our studies and preparation for the entrance examination. Thankfully, the entrance examination will be over in another ten days. I hope we'll do well in the entrance and get seats in the colleges
of our choice.
Mamatha the main reason why I'm writing to you is to invite you to my village. As a person born and
brought up in the city, you always wanted to visit a village and experience life there. I want you to come
to my village after the entrance examination. I'll be very happy to show you the beautiful places in and
around my village. You will be bowled over by the charm of my village and the warmth and the innocence
of the villagers. I hope you'll not turn down my invitation.
After the entrance examination, I'll call you and speak to Aunty and convince her.
Till then, take care and bye.
Yours lovingly

Example :

I.
There are also many discoveries of science which have brought unhappiness into the
world. That is not because the discoveries are bad but because men are using them badly.
For example, consider the discovery of gun powder and of other explosives, each more powerful than the previous one discovered. In ancient times men could wound and kill each other
with stones, arrows and swords or spears. Even in the great battles of olden times the armies
on both sides usually consisted only of a few thousands of men. So the number wounded and
killed in the wars of those times was not very great. But the invention of fire-arms and high
explosives causes a great damage. A modern machine gun, worked by a single man can
wound and kill hundreds of people in a few minutes. One modern bomb can kill thousands. it
is said that the latest type of atomic bomb could kill hundreds of people immediately, if it is
dropped on a big city.

Let us think for a moment how we have learnt everything we now know. How do we
enjoy the company of our friends and the beauties of the world around us ? Surely, it is by
means of our eyes, our ears and our tongues.
If we were blind, we could see nothing of the beauty around us, but we could hear and
takl to our friends and be taught the meanings of things through our fingers and our ears. If we
were deaf, we could still see the wonderful world of nature.

But if we were both blind and deaf from babyhood, how could any idea or any knowledge
of the world creep into our minds. It would seem quite impossible to educate a child who could
neither see nor hear nor speak.
Yet there are such children in the world. Children who can have no idea of the world
around them except the little that they can gain by their sences of touch, taste and smell. Their
plight is pitiable indeed and upto a hundred years ago, it was absolutely hopeless. Today, however, a new world of knowledge and happiness has been opened for them.

made to teach blind and deaf by the sences of touch, taste and smell. So their life is now made
happy as they are able to get some knowledge of the would around them.
