Elections (new version)

Elections are when the people of the country choose their leaders as India is a democratic republic. Different people with same ideologies come together to form a party. People  representing parties stand in the elections and then get elected to Lok Sabha and the leader of the winning party becomes  the Prime Minister. The elections take place every five years in India .

People from different parties or individuals stand from  a constituency so you go and vote for that person, but in the end the leader of the winning party become's the  prime minister. The prime minister then chooses some ministers to join him in his cabinet of ministers. The prime minister gets to govern over the country for five years.

The Election Commission of India conduct the elections all over the country and check for fair and just means to be used by the candidates. Electronics voting machines are used on which the party's name is written with the logo and a blue button next to it. You have press the button to elect that leader. From September 27, 2013 they installed a button called None of the Above (NOTA) button which means you don't want to elect anybody  but you want to go vote . So you press that button but you don't elect anybody. Once you have voted the person on duty will use a special ink and make a mark on one of your fingers and this means that you've voted and you can't vote anywhere else. If you try, you'll get sent to prison. The teachers of government run school and colleges are made to do election duty and make sure there will be fair elections. In year 2009, the elections involved an electorate of 714 million.

There are many different parties such as Congress, Bharatia Janta party (BJP), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), ShivSena, Samajwadi Party​,Bahujan Samaj Party. Some are the national parties which have a country wide presence and others are regional parties which work more in a particular state. The National parties then take help of regional parties to contest the election. For example, BJP is the national party but Shiv Sena is the regional party helping them with elections in Maharashtra. If there is a candidate standing from shiv Sena in a particular 3constituency, there will be nobody from BJP there. Shiv Sena and BJP are allies.

Different parties have different logos like for congress there’s the hand, BJP the lotus, the AAP the broom and many more. The elections are fun but can sometimes be dangerous. Elections can be dangerous when the people from parties come and hit, burn houses and do other not nice stuff to people who didn’t vote for that party and the men who do this get money in return. Candidates bribe people by giving them money, food , clothes etc. to go and vote for that party.

Elections are a fundamental duty of the Indian Citizen. Every citizen above the age of 18 has to fulfill his duty towards the country by going and  voting.

COMPUTER

A computer is machine we use in everyday life,

It cuts across your work like a knife,

You can mail, you can chat wherever,

If you have laptop by your side.

Praise Charles Babbage and Ada love lace,

The inventors of this machine,

It used to be a calculator,

But now it's used for everything!

Although the keyboard ain't straight

Don't stay up the entrie night in haste

Trying to straighten the order of the letter

I am telling you, its a waste.

The CPU is attached to the computer,

To give it life,

There’s a disconnect,

PHOOOOOOOO


THE SCREEN GOES BLANK!!

MUMBAI: Earth day is celebrated on 22 April. From San Francisco to San Juan, Beijing to Brussels, Moscow to Marrakesh, people plant trees, clean up their communities, contact their elected officials, and more—all on behalf of the environment. It is a festival which is celebrated around the world in 192 different countries. The first Earth day was celebrated in 1970. In 1969 UNESCO Conference in San Francisco, peace activist John McConnell proposed a day to honor the Earth and the concept of peace, to first be celebrated on March 21, 1970, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere.  But a month later, Gaylord Nelson, U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, proposed April 22 as the date. Earth day will celebrate its 44 anniversary in the year 2014. Earth Hour is a worldwide movement for the planet organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The event is held worldwide annually encouraging individuals, communities, households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on the last Saturday in March, as a symbol for their commitment to the planet. People all around the world are picking up the garbage in their neighborhoods. Everybody around the world are planting trees to save the earth. In many countries people are barricading the roads and cars are not allowed to run and instead they are cycling or running to their places of work. People are going to individual houses and collecting their garbage and disposing it themselves.  In some countries they are not allowing cars with an odd number as the last number on the plate to run on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and the opposite for the even numbers. People are recycling everything possible to keep the Earth clean. Their motto is “Reduce, reuse, recycle.” In Indonesia they have a parade where they push an inflated earth around the city and if anyone wants to push the cart, they can happily push. Everyone should use a cycle to go to work and should save electricity by switching off lights, fans etc.  last  year in school the round square made paintigs and posters to tell people about Earth day and aware them the various things one could do to save our Earth.  This year they  made a huge poster dangling from the first floor which said “Save the Earth, Make it a better place. Their motto is, “Clean Earth, green Earth.” What can you do for a better planet?
