'Birds and animals too need freedom.' Do you enjoy your freedom? What about other living creatures on this earth? Have you ever wondered about their freedom? I know the questions asked make you think and that's why I am here to express my views on the topic ' Birds and animals too need freedom.'       Respected sir, madam and all my dear friends. Freedom is the birth right of all be it humans or animals. Humans can voice out when their freedom is taken away but what about animals? How will they fight for it? Have you given a thought to this? I know the answer is a big 'No' for many of us. The prime reason is that we are lost so much in improving our lives that we fail to observe and reason with things around us. We keep pets so that we can enjoy their company. Can you really enjoy when they are locked and caged? Ask this question to yourself. You will surely get an answer to it. If you are locked how would you feel?        Freedom looks beautiful when

Time and Tide waits for none.      Time is important in our life it can never wait or come back to us. It's just like the tide which rise and fall in the sea. It doesn't seek anyone's permission to do its activity.      Time moves very fast and hence we should make the maximum use of its availability. Days change to week's, weeks to months and months to years. They do not wait for us. There is no point in grumbling after its loss. We should learn to value time. The story of grasshopper who enjoyed all through out summer dancing and enjoying nature didn't collect food for the rainy season and when rains came there was no food. The poor hopper had to face starvation and it died.       Don't be like the grasshopper. Work and be ready . Students should prepare for their exams well in advance which will help them to do well. Remember ' Time is Money' therefore use it wisely.
