A winter's long cold and warm night
Everywhere dew spray white
People sleep in blankets
Among lovely dreams
In the corner of city
There's a house
Someone starting
No earning
Outside the window
The black shadow
Moon shines
Under stream lines
Star spark
Sky smiles mark
And wind whispers
Wearing soft slippers
But still
Silence kills
And say sibilant wise
No comparison to those wet
Twinkling eyes
An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window. The father asked his son. "what is this"?
The son replied "it is a crow". After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2 time what is this?" the son said "father. I have just now told you it is a crow". After a little while, the old father again asked his son "what is this? At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a rebuff "it's a crow, a crow"
A little after the father again asked his son the fourth time, "what is this? This time the son
shouted at his father "why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although Ihave told you so many times "IT IS A CROW" Are you not able to understand this?
A little after the father went to his room and came hack with an old tattered diary which he maintained since his son was born, on opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it. The following words were written in the diary,
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me in the sofa. When the crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times "What is this?" and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow, I hugged him lovingly cach time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I didn't at all feel irritated, I rather felt affection for my innocent child.
While the little child asked him 23 times "what is this?", the father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the father asked his son the same question just 4 times, the son felt irritated and annoyed so.......
If your parents attain old age do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them be considerate to your parents
Man who walked up to chairing cross one evening in January. His hair was shining and he had thin moustaches. He was wearing a brown overcoat. He had polished shoes. He seemed to enjoy walking in the bitter Cold. Tonga wallas would race toward him. A taxi also drew near him but he politely refused them. He ran a few steps and printed. He ran a ball as if he were playing cricket near the lawn of stat queen. Some English children were playing with a big rubber ball. The children ran away and he sat on an empty cement bench. As the evening advanced people converges the mall road, where they amused themselves among the variety of hotels, restaurants and coffee bars. The young man seated on the cement bench, watching with interest the people passing on the pavement. After a few minutes he got up, crossed the mall road, and went to a cinema. There were three young Anglo Indian girls who were giggling over a seal of picture. In a few second they were gone. He started off again along the mall. He heard music in one of the restaurant. A large variety of people had collected out side. They seemed to be enjoying the music. A few minutes later he was now walking near the high court. He was young couple passing by This young couple fascinated him. Near the G.P.O they turned the McLeod Road. He had hardly reached half away. He was following when a truck full of bricks came from behind and crushing him down speeded off towards Mcl.eod road. He was taken to a near by hospital in a car, assistant surgeon Khan and two nurses Shahnaz and Gull were in casualty department. He was laid on a marble table his cloth were had been taken off. There was only an old cotton sweater underneath the over coat. Layer of dirt covered his body. He could not bath for at least two months. He was dead by now from his pocket a black comb, and handkerchief, a little diary in which names and addresses of a few people were noted a list of gramophone records and few handbills were found in his pocket.
The most beautify on the lips of mankind is the word "Mother" and the most beautiful call is
the call "My Mother". It is a word full of hopes love. A sweet and tender work coming from the
depth of hearts, the mother is every thing. She is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery and
our strength in weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy and forgiveness.
The word "Mother" is hidden in our hearts and it comes upon in hours of sorrow and happiness as perfume comes from the heart of rose and mingles with clear and cloudy air. He loses his mother losses a pure and the greatest soul who blesses and guards him constantly.
Education does not mean the only picking out information But is a process for the overall development of an individual. Education should enable us to develop a sound health because sound mind lies in sound body. If body is not sound then mind also be not sound. Education should ensure the physical excellence of individual. For this the individual should be thought the principles of hygiene. He should be educated in this field of appropriate food. His food should be balanced clean and at specified times. If he does not know the importance balanced, diet and the principles of suitable food he will damage his health.
Education should also disclose on the individual the importance of cleanliness. If an individual does not know the importance of cleanliness, he will suffer from so many diseases. Physical exercise is must for keeping sound health
As education ensures the overall development of individual so it not only seeks physical excellence of individual but also sharpens his mental faculties. It informs him of the real causes and effects of events and thus removes the false belief superstitious and prejudices from his mind Education creates in us love of truth. Educated people try to reach to the bottom of the events and mvestigate the causes. Education gives us the ability to distinguish right from wrong and good from bed. Thus, it makes an individual realistic and gives him the power of self decision making.
Despite progress in education systems’ response to the climate change challenge, many students and youth find formal education lacking, and call for more action-oriented and psychosocial learning and a stronger focus on justice issues. A survey of over 2,000 young respondents from 53 countries found that 95% were worried about the effects of climate change and environmental degradation, while 36% highlighted the importance of inclusive and accessible education of good quality as a priority for addressing climate change; but only one quarter of young women and just over one third of young men felt that their education had prepared them to address climate change.
According to a survey of 16- to 25-year-olds in Canada, 60% believed that the formal education system should focus more on the social-emotional dimensions of climate change. Respondents indicated that they would also prefer more climate change content in classes, mental health support, reassurance, positive and hopeful messaging, and teaching about the urgency of climate risks.

Youth voices on climate action will be front and center at a high-level breakfast briefing hosted by the GEM Report and partners during this week’s High-Level Political Forum taking place at UN Headquarters in New York during which global progress towards SDG 13 is under review. a young engineer from North Macedonia named as one of Forbes 30 under 30 on youth action and holding governments to account for their climate commitments will also be in attendance.
Systematic reviews have concluded that the political dimensions of climate change are often missing in formal education. Climate change is primarily taught in science subjects. An analysis of 55 articles written between 2017 and 2020 highlighted that justice-driven climate change education was difficult to implement in formal education due to current structures, curriculum standardization and accountability mechanisms. Climate justice was often taught in non-formal settings, with student and teacher activists learning about justice dimensions from each other and acting as educators for their communities.
Although young activists and advocates in the Global North and the Global South had been undertaking actions for climate justice for years without recognition and media coverage, the Fridays for Future movement, spearheaded by Greta Thunberg in 2018, is often credited with expanding local and national youth engagement and awareness efforts of climate change to a global scale. Discussions with school strikers for climate action show that students are learning from their participation in the strikes, complementing their often insufficient climate change education in schools. In turn, they are also becoming climate change educators. Students are teaching themselves the knowledge that they need to engage with climate change issues outside of classrooms, such as dealing with regulations, negotiating with police, organizing a web presence and developing policy demands by improving their competencies in political engagement. They also teach their teachers how to reducing the school footprint.
Youth activists have supported climate science as new ambassadors and communicators for scientific consensus and climate adaptation and mitigation. An analysis of 50 youth-led climate initiatives, of which 30 were initiated by youth, found that most were aiming to exert political pressure. The skills focus in these initiatives were advocacy and communications, literacy and leadership related to climate change.
Students have also highlighted inadequacies in school textbooks. In Berlin, students analysed actions discussed in geography, chemistry and biology textbooks aimed at 11- to 18-year-olds in Australia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. High-impact solutions (e.g. living car-free) received little or no mention while low-impact solutions (e.g. recycling) were discussed more extensively. Some of the proposed solutions had not been updated for 25 years, making textbook reform urgent.
A lack of national and global efforts on climate change has been portrayed as a human rights violation. By the end of 2022, 2,180 climate change cases had been filed, of which 1,522 were in the United States. Litigation by youth has been a sign of increasing political involvement in climate action, although cases tend to be dismissed early. Analysis of 23 cases in 14 countries shows that where a first decision was rendered, only 3 cases were heard on their legal merits: in Colombia (on the government’s failure to reduce deforestation in the Amazon), Germany and Norway. In the US state of Montana, a court ruled in favour of young plaintiffs who alleged that the state violated their right to a clean and healthy environment by allowing fossil fuel development without considering its climate consequences. Youth litigation also has a transnational dimension, where young people from the Global South call out climate injustice for which the Global North is largely responsible. However, these international cases have been dismissed in most contexts.
At the higher education level, climate activism also focuses on university policies and approaches. Fossil fuel divestment movements at universities and colleges are often led by students. In the United States, students and others have pushed 141 higher education institutions to divest their endowments from industries producing fossil fuels since 2012. Analysis of 220 Canadian universities and colleges found 38 active divestment campaigns, of which 31 were initiated by students, with 6 institutions then committing to varying degrees of divestment (Maina et al., 2020). There are also growing calls by scientists and researchers for universities to facilitat further academic advocacy and activism in climate and ecological emergencies, shifting the focus from primarily publications onto public actions, and providing space for academics to engage in such efforts.
University students have advocated for climate inclusion within their curriculum, for instance in health and architecture education. Students from 2,817 medical schools in 112 countries reported that climate change is taught in less than 15% of medical schools worldwide. Students led climate action–related activities in another 12% of medical schools. Medical students founded the Planetary Health Report Card to inspire medical schools to engage with the subject. Since 2019, more than 60 medical schools in Canada, Ireland, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and the United States participated in the report card, catalysing the inclusion of integrated curricula in many of these institutions. Climate change has also received attention in architectural education. Over 4,000 architects in 18 countries declared a biodiversity and climate emergency, with over 2,500 architecture students and teachers signing a declaration calling for curriculum change in architectural education. A review of 71 studies on the integration of sustainability education into architecture highlights the need to shift from educator-centred teaching to student-centred learning methods with collaborative, reflective and deep learning strategies.
