A Pleasure of Watching Television
Some people claim that television is the root of all evils, while others think of television as a best friend. Some blame the television for society’s violence, consumerism, and misinformation, while others see it as a rich resource for education and global understanding. According to me watching television benefits a number of ways. It helps in increasing bonding with family when we watch it together. It keeps us updated with news. The television shows, music, video-songs, live matches, etc. are sources of our entertainment. We can learn to make a dish or two by watching cooking episodes. Tele shopping helps in getting deals at lower price. We can follow latest trend by watching television. We can also learn how to manage 7 time in our life by watching number of things on TV. We gain so much knowledge from channels like Discovery, National Geo, science channels etc.
Children can learn moral lessons in a fun way by watching special episodes meant for children. It also helps to keep us fit and healthy as we can watch some programmes based on fitness and we can also get some fitness tips from it. We can build our character by watching spiritual shows. We become aware of the present socio-economic condition of our country and of our world. Television also helps us develop our languages especially English language by watching news items and any other English programmes. So it is not good to say it an idiot box whereas it is a box full of knowledge, entertainment and information. So we should watch it whenever we get time and we should not be an addict of it.

Pollution is the contamination into the natural environment that causes adverse change. Pollution levels are increasing day by day. There are various reasons for it. Air pollution is caused chiefly by industrial pollutants and by increased levels of RSPM due to higher flow of vehicular traffic. Water pollution is caused to a large extent by industrial effluents and the immersion of POP idols. Sound pollution levels have increased due to blaring loudspeakers during festival time and increased volume of traffic. In order to solve the problems of air pollution, the chief method seems to be tree plantation. More and more citizens and NGO’s should take up green causes with civic authorities. We need to protect our forest and conserve our mangroves. In order to solve the problem of water pollution, we need to develop effective waste management techniques.
