My favourite recreational activity is playing Harmonica. This is also called Mouth-Organ. I play film songs and tunes. Everyone needs music for recreation. Music is a very creative hobby.

It can be carried even in pocket. It is capable of playing all types of music. For recreation I try to play new tunes and songs that add to my list. Music refreshes, elevates moods and creates enthusiasm that is why playing harmonica is my favourite activity.

Something that I enjoy with my family is watching Television shows. We prefer to watch live telecast of games and sports mainly Cricket and Tennis. In addition we prefer Laughter Shows that is a very good amusement after the day’s monotonous and tiring jobs. Also TV is a means of mass communication. It is a mode of information and entertainment too. So we get latest information through TV and can keep pace with the time. Besides there are many exclusive business channels that give minute-by-minute information on Stock Markets & the Business World. Educational, Training & Developmental programs aired on TV. These are pretty beneficial for the community and especially students. Many awareness programs on Health & Environment play very important role in our lives. Hence I prefer and enjoy watching TV Programs with my family.

Describe a person from your country’s history. Why do you think this person was important?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi was born in 1869 in Porbandar, in the Gujarat state of India. He had is education in London and thereafter he travelled to South Africa. Here he experienced Racism. Mahatma was totally against the beliefs of race, caste, creed, colour of skin and untouchables. Gandhi was the firm believer of power of truth, non-violence and independence. He led a very simple life with very high thinking. He took-up the rights of Indians and instituted first campaign of passive resistance. These days there is frequent terrorism. Instances of bombarding, riots, arson, vandalism, ransacking, burning of trains, buses, public property thereby killing, men, women and children is very frightening, painful and pathetic. Mahatma Gandhi won the independence for India against the British Rule, with his way of peace, harmony and non-violence. Hence I think him to be the most important person for India.
