“You cannot put a fence around the planet Earth”. Man cannot compare himself with the earth planet. There is a vast gap or difference between the two. When we recite these lines we can rejoice because it is a challenge for the self-assertion of the earth.

Surely it is a tone of self – assertion. In front of the planet earth, the man is nothing. Man has existence on the same earth. Without the earth, man cannot stand or survive on it.

As soon as Arunima’s artificial leg got fitted, she set her eyes on a mountain. Almost a year after her accident, she joined the mountaineering training institute set up by Bachendri Pal near Uttarkashi.

Bachendri Pal always pumped confidence in her and motivated her to overcome her feeling of being handicapped. With this motivation Arunima could climb 21,798 feet high Chamsar Kangdi mountain in Ladakh and got compliments from Bachendri Pal ‘Meri ShernV. This is how her spirit was boosted up and she was all prepared to scale Mt. Everest.

No, I do not believe in magic. I do not believe in magic because it is not proven by science.

Sameer informed his mother and father that both she and daddy were invited to his school on Sunday, the ninth.

Yes, I think that Arunima is exceptionally brave, because she fought back against some thugs who were trying to snatch her gold chain on a train and she was thrown out of the speeding train.

She lost her leg yet she dared to climb Mt. Everest with an artificial leg. With great courage and confidence she could overcome her handicap and do the impossible task.

We had all gone to visit places.

Arunima is a great source of inspiration of hope, courage and confidence for all. The way she fought back against the thugs on the train shows her boldness. Even after losing her leg, she was determined to scale Mt. Everest with an artificial leg and she proved it. This is an uncomparable example of courage.

If I were a judge I would have sentenced them for at least five years of rigourous imprisonment. Since all the four ones were attacking a helpless, lonely girl, they deserved to be punished severely. Their act of throwing the girl out of a moving train was a sheer brutal act and they must not be spared at any cost.

Some appropriate phrases in praise of Arunima are as following:
an epitome of courage, a great fighter of life a source of inspiration, an exceptional example of hope, a sherni in true spirit, a trendsetter, a record maker, etc.

A section of DNA that provides information for one protein is called the gene for that protein. The proteins synthesized according to this information may be enzymes that catalyse biochemical reactions. Each trait is the outcome of several such biochemical reactions each of this is controlled by a specific enzyme.

Each parent contributes one copy of the gene for a particular character. Thus there are two genes for every character. In the gamete, however, only one copy is present because of reduction division and these may be either maternal or paternal origin. When two germ cells combine they will restore the normal number of gene copies in the progeny ensuring the stability of the DNA of the species.

Genes control the expression of a trait or a character in an organism. Genes produces proteins. The proteins act as enzymes which can directly control a character or help in the formation of a hormone which can control the expression of a particular character. 

The most important preventive measure is to remain away from the carcinogenic substances. Tobacco, gutkha, cigarette, bidi, etc. are addictive things which are very bad for our health. The nicotine present in these cause cancers of oral cavity and of respiratory system. Radiations can also cause cancer.

We should not expose ourselves to hazardous radiations. Balanced and healthy diet, proper exercise and living stress free with mental balance are some of the preventive measures of the cancer. Only for few types of cancer like cervical cancer in women, vaccine has been developed.

When blood transfusion is done, the blood should be checked for the presence of HIV. The used syringes, needles, etc. should not be used without sterilization. Through blood and blood products and body fluids HIV finds its way into the body. Therefore, these precautions should be taken. Unsafe sexual contact is the most important mode of transmission of HIV. Thus one should never deal with such dangerous acts. Awareness about AIDS and HIV is the real preventive measure.

Generic medicines are also called general medicines.

If the secretion of insulin is decreased, then the diabetes is caused.

Complete control over diet should be followed. It should be’ healthy and nutritive. Such diet protects one from the cancer. The modern treatment processes should be immediately carried out, if the cancer is detected. With time-lapse, the growth of the cancer keeps on increasing. Physical exercises should be regularly done. Tobacco consumption, smoking are some addictions that can induce cancer. These should never be tried.a
