Summary Writing.

Gopal's Unusual 49th Birthday.

Gopal, an actor, timidly reveals that it's his 49th birthday, a day he believed he might never live to see due to astrological predictions. He had always lived in fear of leaving his family as orphans and had performed propitiatory rites for the planets to celebrate his survival. Gopal wishes to treat this day as an auspicious one. When the director learns about this, he sends for a story-writer to address Gopal's concerns about his character dying in the story. However, the story-writer dismisses the idea of changing the plot, and the boss is called in to resolve the situation. Gopal, feeling stifled and surrounded by the film crew, contemplates the situation, thinking of the crew as his Yamas, the gods of death, determined to see him dead. This passage highlights Gopal's superstitious nature and the challenges of reconciling personal beliefs with the demands of the film industry.

Honorable Chairperson Respected dignitaries on the dise, esteemed judges, and fellow participants,
Today, I stand before you to discuss a topic of utmost significance, the "Importance of Science and Technology." In an era marked by rapid advancements and innovations, the role of science and technology in shaping our lives cannot be overstated.

Science, at its core, is the pursuit of knowledge, the systematic exploration of the natural world. It allows us to unravel the mysteries of the universe, from the tiniest particles to the vast expanses of space. Through science, we have discovered the fundamental laws governing our existence, and this knowledge has transformed our understanding of the world.
Technology, on the other hand, is the practical application of scientific knowledge. It is the bridge that connects our understanding to tangible benefits. Think about the smartphone in your pocket, the medical equipment in hospitals, or the vehicles that transport us – all of these are products of technology, making our lives more comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable.

The importance of science and technology can be witnessed in every aspect of our lives. In healthcare, groundbreaking medical discoveries and technologies have prolonged and improved countless lives. Communication technologies have connected us across continents, fostering global understanding and cooperation. Transportation advancements have made travel more accessible and faster than ever before.

But it's not just about convenience. Science and technology play a crucial role in addressing global challenges. Climate change threatens our planet, and it is through scientific research and technological innovation that we can develop sustainable solutions to combat this crisis. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of scientific research in developing vaccines and treatments to save lives.

Moreover, science and technology are engines of economic growth. They drive innovation, create jobs, and stimulate entire industries. In today's knowledge-based economy, nations that invest in research and development tend to be leaders on the global stage.

To ensure that we continue to reap the benefits of science and technology, we must prioritize STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. We need a new generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators who will push the boundaries of knowledge and create solutions for the challenges of tomorrow.

In conclusion, the importance of science and technology cannot be understated. They have transformed our lives, helped us overcome obstacles, and opened up new possibilities. We must recognize their value, invest in them, and inspire the next generation to carry the torch of innovation forward. Together, through science and technology, at the same time, we must keep in mind that science and technology must be used for the betterment of humanity. We can build a brighter and more prosperous future for all of humanity. I am very thankful to the organizers for allowing me to express my views I would also like to say thanks to the audience for listening to me with patience.

Expansion of an Idea.

Expand the following idea with the help of the points given below (100/150 words):

'Actions speak louder than words'

  • Focus on actions
  • Words are useless where there is no action.
  • Actions lead to success / result.


📌Expected Answer


Actions speak louder than words'

Most of the successful personalities believe doing rather than saying. They need not to say anything, their deeds tells us everything. That's why an age-old adage, "Actions speak louder than words,"  is perfectly suitable to them,  as their acts says more,  they don't have to prove themselves. 

Most of the cricket lovers are well aware about the fact that whenever Sachin was criticized,  he never reply with a single words every time his bat used to speak to the people who criticized him.

In Rajput history, Rani Padmini of Chittorgarh is said to have committed "jauhar" (self-immolation) along with other women to protect their honor from invading forces. This extreme act of sacrifice.

Sindhutai Sapkal has helped a large number of orphan children,  she kept her misery aside and became the mother of many orphan children,  that's why she was rightly called 'Garibachi May' 

From the all above stories we come to the conclusion that it's right said that try "Actions Speaks Louder than words" it convey powerful messages.
