Subject:-frequent failure on electricity in our area 

Respected sir

There is a frequent failure of electricity in our area sometimes there is either low voltage or complete breakdown of current for hours together because of which shopkeepers, housewives, and students suffer due to this unstable supply of electricity.

SHopkeeps are having loss and housewives are not being able to cook easily because of this reason and the students who are facing exams also cannot study properly because of this unstable supply of electricity.

I hope that the officials of electricity will kindy go through this matter and help us people by providing proper electricity.

Thanking you sir

The Bond of Love revolves around the mutual, sincere and selfless love of the narrator’s wife and her pet bear, Bruno. The young bear loved and brought up like a child by the author’s wife, proves that he richly deserves this love because he himself is capable of showing equally deep and faithful love.

He is treated like a member of the family and he himself proves that he is as much bound by loyal love to the members of the family as they are to him. The deep emotions of Bruno come to the fore when he is sent to the Mysore zoo. He is so pained by the separation from his mistress that he frets terribly and refuses to eat anything. He grows very lean and thin.

Even three months is not long enough a period for him to reconcile himself to the separation from the author’s wife. When she goes to see him, he recognizes her at once, even from a distance of some yards, and expresses his delight by howling and standing on his head. At the closing time of the zoo he cries bitterly at the thought of parting again from his mistress. His emotions move the hearts of the zoo curator and the keepers who agree to give Bruno back to the author’s family. This proves that animals too feel love and affection.

Given below is an outline that will help you frame a complete answer, as this is a writing task.

A Truly Beautiful Mind by Albert Einstein is the story of Albert Einstein who was one of the greatest scientists in the world. The lesson sheds light on Einstein life and his works in the field of science and world politics.

Explanation:

• Following his university studies, Einstein proved to be a intellectual  and a scientific genius. Though for a while he had been jobless and gave private tuition. He was eventually working as a a technical expert a patent office in Berne.
• There, along with that work, he secretly developed his own ideas and published his popular research paper  the 'Special Relativity Theory,' according to which time and distance were not completely absolute.He formulated his hypothesis of the relation of mass and energy that developed into the world famous formula E = mc , , making him a popular physicist.
• Upon publishing of his General Theory of Relativity, Einstein received universal recognition, which allowed him to calculate in advance the extent of the deflection of light from fixed stars as it passed through the gravitational field of the sun.
• The theory has been described by the newspapers as 'a scientific revolution.' Einstein was given the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his contribution to scientific advancement. He was subsequently given a number of honors and has been invited by the world's different  nations. His mathematical genius was often praised in journals

Einstein proved to be an intellectual and scientific genius after the completion of his university education. Although he was jobless for some time and gave private tuitions, he finally got a job of a technical expert in a patent office in Bern. Here, along with the job, he kept developing secretly his own ideas and came out with the publication of his famous research paper on „Special Theory of Relativity‟, according to which time and distance are not absolute. His theory about the relationship between mass and energy was developed into the world famous formula E = mc2 , and this equation made him a renowned scientist. Einstein earned international acclaim with the publication of his General Theory of Relativity which enabled him to calculate in advance the extent of the deflection of light from fixed stars as it passed through the gravitational field of the sun. The theory was declared as “a scientific revolution” by the newspapers. For his contribution to the development of science, Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. After this, a number of honours were bestowed upon him and he was invited by different countries in the world. Newspapers too hailed his scientific achievements.

This chapter throws light on the origin of Shehnai and the life of all-time great Shehnai Vadak —Bismillah Than. The winner of Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award of India, his dedication to music and his love for India.

"Pungi” a musical instrument, was banned by Emperor Aurangzeb, because of its shrill and unpleasant sound. In fact, it was regarded more as a noise maker rather than a musical instrument. It was modified and perfected by a barber who belonged to a family of professional musicians. He played it in the chamber of the king. Its sound was so appreciated by the emperor that it was made a part of Naubat. Since it was played for the first time in Shah's chamber by a Nai, it came to be known as Shehnai.

Traditionally, it was played in the temples and on every auspicious domestic occasions also. Its sound was regarded as auspicious. But it was treated as an incomplete musical instrument, not capable of creating independent pages. But Bismillah broke this myth.

Bismillah belongs to the Benares Gharana. He was born in 1916 at Dumraon, in Bihar. As a 5 year old, he used to visit the Bihariji Temple and sing Bhojpuri "Chaitya" there. For his melodious singing he used to earn a big Laddu from the local Bhojpuri King. At the age of 6, he moved to Benares. There under the guidance and training of his maternal uncle, Ali Bux, he started picking up the finer nuances of shehnai. He used to spend most of his time practicing on the banks of the River Ganges. The themes of his music were deeply affected by the sounds of flowing water of the Ganga.

The Bond of Love is a story written by Kenneth Anderson that revolves around the emotional bond of love shared between the author’s wife and her pet sloth bear. The author had rescued the baby sloth bear while he was passing through the sugarcane fields near Mysore. The little bear’s mother was shot dead by one of the author’s companions. So, the author rescued the baby bear and took him to Bangalore and gifted him to his wife. She was delighted seeing the little furry creature and tied a coloured ribbon around its neck right away and christened the little animal as ‘Bruno’.

Soon, the author and his family nourished the baby bear like their own child and helped him grow along with their pet Alsatian dogs. As Bruno was growing up, he started bonding with everyone, starting with the children and the pet dogs around. He had a bed of his own and he loved playing and running around the kitchen with other little ones all day long. However, one day, he ate some poison accidentally that was meant to kill rats. After consuming the poison, Bruno was suddenly paralysed and was rushed to the veterinary hospital for treatment. Later, he recovered back to normal. On another occasion, he drank almost a gallon of old engine oil that was meant to kill termites. However, consuming it had no ill effects on him whatsoever.

As days passed, Bruno started growing in size, but he had a playful nature. Later, the author’s wife changed his name to ‘Baba’ which meant a small boy in Hindi. Gradually, he learnt some tricks and began entertaining everyone around him. Nonetheless, he was kept chained most of the time as the tenants’ children were afraid to come closer to him due to his growing size. Thus, everyone except the author’s wife decided to take him to the zoo as he had become enormous and was not fit to be kept as a pet in the house. Although initially, the author’s wife was reluctant but she finally gave in considering everyone’s safety. Soon, the formalities of the Mysore zoo were completed and he was moved there in a cage.

In due course of time, the author’s wife started missing her pet terribly. Even Bruno used to fret often and skipped his meals in sadness. The author’s wife was upset when she learnt that Baba wasn’t having food properly and remained sad all day. So, after three months, she decided to pay a visit to the zoo to check on Baba. Although everyone said that Bruno would not be able to recognize her, when he saw her, he howled with happiness and she petted him through the bars of the cage.

The author’s wife was so touched meeting Bruno that she decided to take him back home. Soon, they obtained the permission of the zoo superintendent and finally brought him back. They made a special island for Baba with all his belongings in a six-foot deep dry pit. Finally, Baba was reunited with the author’s wife and she would spend long hours pampering him by petting his back and lulling him to sleep on her lap. They indeed shared a true and emotional bond of love between them.
