An Industrial Exhibition

                An industrial exhibition was in Islamabad  in March last year. The intention of the organizers was to exhibit industrial products at one place. The trading community and the general public showed keen interest in the products. Accompanied by my elder brother and sisters, I went round the elegant and brightly litstalls. Exhibits included textiles and garments, electrical goods, household items, handicrafts, glass wares, furniture, sewing machines and stainless steel. The Pakistan Railway and wapda had put up very informatory stalls. Heavy industrial goods, rollers, water pumps, tube-well equipment, motors, fertilizers and machinery were also on display. prices of consumer goods were quite reasonable. Manufacturers were selling their products at reduced rates. Besides, there were food and entertainment stalls which attracted the cheerful crowds. 

A Meena Bazaar

                   At our school a meena bazaar was held in the first week of February. There was quite a big crowd of chattering girls in front lawn. They were radiant and relaxed because there was no teaching that day. There were different stalls set up by teachers and senior students. There were potfuls of foodstuffs with tasty sauce neatly arranged on big tables. Girls shopkeepers were surprisingly alert and efficient. The girl customers tried little tricks with the stall-holders and laughed heartilly. Sizzling pakoras, fruit-chat, shami kababs and chicken sticks were in greate demand. Senior students had assistants with them. They kept an eye on the light spirited and naughty customers. There was a very entertaining variety show in the afternoon. Our principal donated the sale money to a charitable organization.                 

A Road Accident

                The other day I witnessed an accident on the Lahore - Narowal road. It was a very sad spectacle. The road at the spot was littered with broken glass, bits of wooden frames and iron bars. The luggage of the passengers of  the bus was in a muddy sideway nullah. There were little pools of blood with bricks around them. A horse lay dead right in the middle. A tonge frame nearby was just like a heap of broken painted wood. A head on collision between a bus and a truck had taken place. The terrible collision had its impact on the nearby tonga. Tow persons were killed on the spot and five others sustained serious injuries. The bus lay on one side with its heavy wheels raised high in the air. The police arrived and took measurements and recorded statements.

How To Keep Our Town Clean

                 Cleanliness is next to godliness. We must give a serious thought to this golden truth. Neat and clean environment has a cheerful effect. It is a sure sign of civilization. Knowledge is a great blessing of Allah. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to receive education. As school going boys and girls it is our responsibility to keep our town clean. We ought to develop civic sense.We should not throw fruit and vegetable peels all over the street. A banana or melon peel thrown carelessly on the road can cause a fracture or even death. plastic, polythene and wooden items should not be thrown into manholes. A chaked gutter spreads filth and stench all over the street. Life becomes miserable. spitting is another problem as it causes disease and insanitation. We can politely prevent one another from spitting on floors. We should not throw hard things or stones into toilets. We should not be shy of taking a broom and sweeping the littered portion of the street in front of our door. We should take care of trees, plants and flower beds in a park. if we happen to pass by an unattended running water tap, we should stop and close it. as citizens we should be vigilant and report to the municipality if its staff neglects its duty. We can also add to cleanliness if we sprinkle water on our portion of the road. Dust and pollution can be effectively controlled if every one of us lends a helping hand. God loves people who practise purity and cleanliness.
