Yoga

I exercise and perform yoga every day. It keeps my mind fresh and ac�ve. It makes me healthy, energe�c
and makes my brain sharp. If we perform yoga regularly, it will help our body to construct proper shape
and make our muscles stronger. By performing yoga we can maintain our weight . People o�en choose to perform
yoga a�er working out in the gym, because it is not only a physical exercise but also a mental exercise. It refreshes
the mind and reduces the stress from the body. I miss doing yoga and exercising in my school very much.

Interna�onal Mother Language Day (21st February)

In this fast growing society where communica�on between people of different countries has become important,
the problem of language barriers has been solved by the crea�on of an Interna�onal Language: ENGLISH. Children
are being taught this language from a very early age so that they can pick up this language faster .While it has really
helped children to be fluent at speaking and wri�ng English, it has its drawbacks.

The language that must be first taught to them is being neglected, their MOTHER TONGUE. Kids nowadays can’t
even write simple sentences in their mother tongue and younger genera�ons are only sailing farther apart from
their roots. Knowing your Mother tongue connects you to your roots and helps one to understand his/ her culture
be�er. But in today’s society, children are becoming more westernized and are developing dislike towards their own
mother tongue. This can be prevented by teaching them about the vibrant heritage of their mother tongue and also
their culture.

This can be done by making the child’s mother tongue a compulsory language in all schools. Parents should also
teach their child about the importance of knowing one's mother tongue and keeping in touch with their culture.
The importance of knowing the mother tongue is equally important to each one of us, be it an adult or a child. It is
essen�al to learn foreign languages but this shouldn’t be done by ignoring our own mother tongue. So this
Interna�onal Mother Language day, I urge you all to connect with your roots and spread awareness about the
importance of learning our mother tongue/language.

Few quotes highligh�ng the value of mother tongue:

“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language that goes
to his heart.”
-Nelson Mandela
