"Autobiography of a River"

flowing water of river in between of trees
          Hello friends, I am a River, I want to tell something about me and something about my life. I
am the river Ganga. I flow all the way across the plains of North Indian before finally flowing into Bay of Bengal. 

       People pray to me. They perform the last rites for their dead on my banks. Then they immerse the ashes in me. I am revered by people throughout the country. people affectionately call me Ganga Maiya.

       I pass by scores of holy towns and cities such as Haridwar, Hrishikesh, Allahabad and Varanasi. On my banks are great religious centres and places of pilgrimage. I provide water to thousands of people for their day-to-day living. I even provide water for fisheries and irrigation. Electricity is generated with the help of my water.
  
        I know that I am very important. Without me your land would be nothing but a barren desert. All 
I ask in return is that you keep me clean.

"Unbeatable Super Mom - Mary Kom"

  There had to be one successful story if Indians were to survive in sports and we have that story now. Enough has been said about this great warrior who conquered the world. This warrior is none other than Mary Mangte Kom-the Komqueror and the Komrade. She is famed as a five times World Boxing Champion and the only boxer to win a medal in every one of the six world championships.

"Autobiography of Parrot"

      Hello friends, I am a parrot today I want to tell something about me and something about my life. I am red and blue in colour with a red beak. My name is Mithu. Sadly, I live in a cage. The family that has caged me are very kind and look after me very well. They keep my cage clean and give me all the things I like to eat.  They have even taught me to speak a few words. But they do not realise how suffocated I feel here. I would rather be out in the open, flying with my friends.    Arun, the boy in the house, calls his friends regularly and makes me speak. All of them are so  delighted when I do. For them I am a source of entertainment. When the family finds that I am talking too much they put a cloth over my cage.    Really, it is quite boring standing all day on this small swing. What a pity it is to waste life in these cage!I long for the free air and the blue skies. But who will let me go? [ suffocated- prevented from developing in a proper way.  frequently- often. long for-

"Autobiography of a tiger"

                                      "Autobiography of a tiger"         Hello friends, I am a tiger I want to tell something about me and something about my life. I was born in the Sundarbans eight years ago. I had one brother and one sister. My parents, especially my mother, looked after me very well. She told me that I had to be very careful for there were human beings called 'hunters' who would try to capture or kill me. I could not imagine why anyone would want to kill me, for I have not harmed anyone .       I was very careful after that. I stayed with my mother for some time; then I wandered off on my own. One day, I saw a goat near a tree. I was very hungry, and forgot all the advice that my mother had given me. I ran towards the goat, but suddenly I felt something pull my leg. I fell into a pit-a trap, I believe it is called. I was pulled out after some time, and taken to a circus.       Fortunately, my master at the circus was a kind man and treated me well.
