			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>Contributed by Amit, a college student</P><P>Today every people think to do something new in his/her future. Students always hope a better future. As I am also a student and I also want that my tomorrow is better then today. So today I am going to write on student thinking about there future. Student are always worried about there future. But future is always vague and no one can decide what is going to be happened in future. All the parents are also think for his/her Childs better future. Parents always try to provide them best facility. That&#8217;s why they send them in best schools and collages. A student future is totally depends on today. There is much different type of people in this world and every one has its own interest. Students decide what they want to do in his/her future. When they complete there schools. He/she always think about where to get admission. When a person get admission in his/her interest course than that person don&#8217;t have to be worried about there future. Mostly people do his/her school from NON-MEDICAL side and they all want to become engineering. They don&#8217;t think that there are many type of opportunity for his/her better future. A college student always tries to do his/her best. A student always thinks that he/she should have to do that course in which he/she will get a 100% job after completing.<BR></P></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>Contributed by Disha Mehrotra</P><P>India is treated as a country of festivals. Indian Festivals celebrated by varied cultures and through their special rituals add to the colours of Indian Heritage. Some festivals welcome the seasons of the year, the harvest, the rains, or the full moon. Others celebrate religious occasions, the birthdays of divine beings, saints, and gurus (revered teachers), or the advent of the New Year. A number of these festivals are common to most parts of India. </P><P>Holi is a religious spring festival celebrated by Hindus. It is primarily observed in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and countries with large Indic diaspora populations following Hinduism, such as Suriname, Malaysia, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad, United Kingdom, United States, Mauritius, and Fiji. In West Bengal and Orissa of India it is known as Dolyatra (Doul Jatra). The most celebrated Holi is that of the Braj region, in locations connected to the Lord Krishna: Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon, and Barsana. These places have become tourist destinations during the festive season of Holi, which lasts here up to sixteen days.</P><P>Diwali (also spelled Devali in certain regions) or Deepavali, popularly known as the &#8220;festival of lights&#8221;, is an important five-day festival in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism, celebrated for different reasons, occurring between mid-October and mid-November. For Hindus, Diwali is one of the most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes. </P></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever seen a bunch of crabs in a bucket? They are all desperate to get out of there and roam free. But if one of them manages to get to the top and almost get away, they will pull it down to their level and prevent it from escaping. They prefer the fact that all of them die together, rather than have even one of them get away.<br />
It is this unfortunate phenomenon which has given rise to the term “crab mentality “. Anywhere where it is noticed that people will criticize others and try to denigrate their achievements, it is stated that the people suffer from a crab mentality. Like the crabs they are unable to accept the fact that others are more successful than they are and they also would prefer to bring them down to their level as soon as possible.<br />
Many Indians believe that this is one of our greatest failings. As a nation, on the whole we tend to behave like crabs much too frequently. We are very narrow in our approach towards others and rather than being supportive and encouraging, we are critical and judgemental.<br />
This is probably most evident among our politicians. They have many attributes which are painful to say the least, but they are the experts in being “crabs “ in their opinions. Rarely do they have a word of praise  for any action or any person from any other party. No matter how good the action maybe, no matter important a law may be, they will find some reason to criticise it and thus bringing down the importance and effectiveness of the other person. Surely, there must be some way in which we can teach them how to work in a home generous group and thus look beyond their own petty peeves and opinions.</p>
