महिला आरक्षण विधेयक पर हर कोई अपने विचार व्यक्त कर रहा है। कोई इससे सहमत है तो कोई असहमत। लोकतंत्र में सबका अपना विचार हो सकता है, लेकिन इसका अथ यह कदापि नहीं कि हम महिलाओं का विरोध करें। जातिगत आरक्षण जैसे सुधार तो आवश्यकता होने पर बाद में भी किए जा सकते हैं। हर बार विरोध करना घोर वैचारिक पिछड़ापन है। जो दल विभिन्न आधार सुझा रहे हैं, वे अपनी पार्टी में उसको लागू करने के लिए स्वतंत्र है। बार-बार विरोध करने से नीयत पर शक होना जरूरी है। हो-हल्ला करके कई वषों से इस बिल को रोकने का प्रयास किया जा रहा है। महिलाओं ने भी आज़ादी के लिए पुरुषों के साथ मिलकर संघर्ष किया था। क्या आज़ाद भारत में आज अपने अधिकारों के लिए उन्हें याचना करनी पड़ेगी? बेहतर होगा कि सभी दल इस दिशा में सहयोग करें और सर्वमान्य समाधान निकालें।

Floriculture can be defined as the art and knowledge of growing flowers to perfection. Department of agriculture and co-operation under the Ministry of Agriculture is the nodal organization responsible for development of the floriculture sector. It is responsible for formulation and implementation of national policies and programmes aimed at achieving rapid agricultural growth through optimum utilization of land, water, soil and plant resources of the country. It also includes production of planting materials through seeds, cuttings, budding and grafting. Production of cut flowers for exports is also a thrust area for support. Researchers' key focus areas are crop improvement, standardization of agro-techniques including improved propagation methods, plant protection and post harvest management. In recent years, however, technologies for protected cultivation and tissue culture for mass propagation have also received attention. A large number of promising varieties of cut flowers have been developed

It is not luck but labor that makes a man. Luck says an American writer, is every waiting for something to turn up; labor with keen eyes and strong will always turns up something . Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy; labor turns out at six and with busy pen and ringing hammer lays the foundation of competence. Luck whines, labor watches. Luck relies on chance, labor on character. Luck slips downwards to self-indulgence; labor strides upwards and aspires to independence. The conviction, therefore,
is extending that diligence is the mother of good luck. In other words, that a man's success in life will be proportionate to his efforts, to his industry, to his attention to small things.

"Cloning is an advanced technological invention for producing a genetic twin of a living thing, an organism that starts life with the same genes as its parents. In mammals, DNA is taken from an adult animal and then it is inserted into an egg cell from another animal. This egg then divides into an embryo. The embryo is then transplanted into a surrogate mother and grown to term. This process has worked in animals like cows, sheep, goats, mice, pigs, rats, cat, monkeys, and horses." The opponents of human cloning say that an embryo at any stage of development is a human life. worthy of protection and any kind of research that entails destroying an embryo is immoral, unethical, no matter how worthy the intent may be. It involves using human beings as means; it turns human life into a commodity and fosters a culture of dehumanization.

PASSAGE
A dolphin is an aquatic mammal. Dolphins are extremely intelligent and sociable animals and have their own way to communicate with each other using special sounds. Although they are often mistaken for fish, dolphins are actually mammals. They are members of the Cetacea (pronounced set-ay-shia) family, which also contains whales and porpoises. One way of telling the difference between a cetacean and a fish is by looking at their tails. You can tell a cetacean because their tail fins (called flukes) are horizontal and move up and down. Fish have vertical tails which move from side to side. A dolphin’s body is designed to help them move quickly and easily through water. The dolphin’s fluke propels it through the water. On its back is a curved dorsal fin and on each side of the dolphin is a pectoral fin. The bump on a dolphins head is known as the melon. They trap their prey by using their teeth. Dolphins use a type of sonar to detect where objects are around them. This is called echolocation. Echolocation works when a dolphin bounces a high pitched sound off an object and then listens for the echo to come back. It is a very useful way for dolphins to find food and navigate. Dolphins communicate with each other through clicks, squeaks and whistles. They use these special sounds to greet each other and to indicate if they are in distress. Dolphins live in the sea, but they can’t breathe under water! They breathe through a blowhole and have to come up for air every 15 minutes.
Dolphins use their teeth

For fourteen and a half months I lived in my little cell or room in the Dehradun jail, and I began to feel as if I was almost a part of it. I was familiar with every bit of it, I knew every mark and dent on the whitewashed walls and on the uneven floor and the ceiling with its moth-eaten rafters. In the little yards outside I greeted little tufts of grass and odd bits of stone as old friends. I was not alone in my cell, for several colonies of wasp and hornets lived there, and many lizards founds a home behind the rafters, emerging in the evening in search of prey.

We are very disappointed with the change in the date. It was a law enacted and approved by Parliament, which was supposed to benefit citizens. The delay in the deadline for digitization is more of a knee jerk reaction by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to its inability to resolve crucial differences between stakeholders. While broadcasters and DTH operators want the government to fast-track the process, local cable operators have asked for a further extension of introduction of the technology is done in a manner that creates a level playing field for all the stakeholders. A government mandated imposition of technology, in this instance, will benefit only a privileged few and deprive a large section of the population of the benefits of inexpensive cable TV.
Q. What was the problem for the government to be tackled?
Direction: While the modern India has made progress in various fields, the priceless intangible heritage of works like the Sama Veda have gone unnoticed-a great loss indeed. We have, it could be said, mindlessly pursed a line of development causing
unwelcome changes to the very fabric of our culture; not very different from iconoclastic behavior. In spite of the fact that a large number of rich Indians possess more wealth than the world's richest, we demonstrate such ignorance about the Vedas in general and Sama Veda in particular. One needs to find out why the world’s oldest composite literature on religion, sciences, humanities and spirituality attracts little public attention today. The yajnas, apart from their religious functions, were unfortunately termed as mere ‘rituals’ even by Indian scholars and so their secular significance has been undermined. It has been shown in a premiere scientific institute in Pune that the Yajna bhasma being of the size of nano-particles had positive effects on human health and the environment.

The harbor was abuzz. People were wandering here and there, screwing their eyes up to the horizon, checking to see if the ship had arrived.

Nothing to boast of as far as the ship itself was concerned. Just the cargo she carried. Finally, a ship arrived, slowly, painstakingly, with two men, seen as little specks on the deck.
Q. This was the 'Tuscany' is referred to as 'she carried' who is she?

Shouldn't we then live in harmony with nature and evolve with it? Our brains, too, are wired to enjoy the beauty of nature. No man-made systems can complete with the joy and well-being. we feel in observing nature's display all year round. We recover rapidly from physical stress when exposed to pleasing natural environmental beauty. We take holidays amidst natural scenic wonders and we retreat to nature to recover and recoup from stress. Yet, we choose to destroy nature with our wasteful lifestyles and our burgeoning population. We use natural resources inefficiently and destroy them for technological development. We think we can change the natural resources inefficiently and destroy them for technological development. We think we can change the natural tapestry, and have even started playing God !
Q. How does nature help us in recovering?
