Review - ‘Doctor Who’ TV Show

     ‘Doctor Who Revived’ is easily one of my favourite shows. It is a sci-fi show about the adventures of a
     Time-Lord.

     Time-Lords are an ancient race. They are called so because of their �me travel  technology and percep�on of �me.
     Time-Lords are from the planet Gallifrey. They  live for millions of human years. They look like humans and can cheat
     death by regenera�ng, meaning they completely change their appearance. The Doctor runs away from his home
     planet a�er the Time War, where he had to kill his people to save the universe.

     The Doctor's name is unknown. He calls himself The Doctor, to keep a promise that he will try his best to save
     everyone  without  endangering  their  lives  too  much.  He  takes  a    human  companion  during  his  �me  travel
     adventures because he thinks humans are brilliant and can offer crea�ve solu�ons. The Doctor o�en risks his life to
     save his companions.

     His companions on the show o�en die and are rarely alive. The companions are always ready to give up their boring
     lives to have adventures in the past or the future or on another planet en�rely.

     You  might  be  wondering  how  they  �me  travel,  so  let  me  introduce  you  to  the  TARDIS    (Time  and  Rela�ve
     Dimensions In Space). The TARDIS is a spaceship and can  travel through �me and space. Of course, travelling in
     many places, the TARDIS  must have a cover. That is why the TARDIS looks like a police box from the '50s. I  know
     what you are thinking, it cannot be a cover everywhere, and it isn't. The Chameleon Circuit was damaged, and the
     Doctor likes the police box, so he has never tried to fix it.

     The Doctor so far has had thirteen regenera�ons, star�ng from the original show. The Doctor is now at her 13th
     regenera�on, and yes, I did say "her" because Jodie Whi�aker has the honour of being the first female Doctor in this
     series.

     I find this show fascina�ng because of the excitement of �me travel and the  heartache of losing companions. The
     mystery and the fear, the horror, and the pain the laughter and the excitement, joy, and amusement, all the reasons
     I love this magnificent show and maybe some of the reasons you should start watching it too.

                                                                                        - Tanya Angelina Mathews, IX


         Value of �me

                                                    Time is something which just passes by.Time is very precious
                                                    and  was�ng  it  anyway  isn't  a  good  thing.  People  o�en
                                                    compare �me with money. We can earn the money we spend
                                                    but we cannot get back the �me we have lost, so this makes
                                                    �me more valuable. You can save money or invest money but
                                                    you cannot do anything like that with �me. A person can just
                                                    spend �me and it is important how you spend your �me. Time
                                                    is  valuable,  especially  for  a  student  because  good  �me
                                                    management skills are very crucial for success in life and �me
                                                    management should be taught to students from an early age.
                                                    All we have to do is to decide what to do with the �me that god
                                                    has given to us.
