My Favourite Book

                                MY FAVOURITE BOOK.             Daddy buys plenty of books for me because he knows I love reading. Once he bought for me the retold version of the Ramayana for children. I enjoyed reading it very much. Since then, I have read it many times. This book is indeed my favourite.             I feel very sad when Lord Rama is exiled to the forest for fourteen years. But then there he shows true courage. He faces many hardships. He fights against evil men and demons and protects the holy men living in the forest. Finally he wages a war against King Ravana of Lanka.

I have learnt many values from the story that I will neve...

This rise in population is accomplished by the desire of more and more people for a better standard of living. Therefore greater demands for electricity, water and goods result in an e...
