Bangles are the sign of femininity and they make a delicate and jingling personality that sounds attractive.Wearing bangles is liked by almost every girl, women even old ladies are mostly seen with bangles in their wrists. Bangles are worn on special occasions and functions because they add beauty to overall outfit and makes the wrist graceful. when every movement of hand produce jingling noise with tussle of bangles it attracts the attention of others that’s why the “chooree kee khanak” is mostly concerned with romance. Now days in big cities we come across big and beautiful shops of bangles where we can see bangles of differret variety, designs and colours,and sizes. Some are simple while some are with beads and ribbons on them in order to attract more attention and make them elegant.
Whether it’s a marriage, Eid, birthday party or any other function you folk will see almost all the females with beautifying and elegant handcrafted bangles with matching to their dresses. You will see no bride without bangles no doubt it may vary in design and quality. Most of the brides like to wear gold bangles with different styles like it may be 6 or 8 bangles, or it may be with combination of karas. Some like to wear delicate bracelets. Now days, brides like to wear matching glass bangles in one hand and gold material in other hand. Similarly before eid, the shopping of females start with clothes, footwear but on chand raat the shopping ends with buying matching bangles and mehandi. In India bangles are sign of love because when a lady comes to know that her husband is no more in this world, she breaks her bangles with first cry.
Bangles are a source of gift also on different occasions. Girls especially are fond of wearing bangles and it’s a felicity for them if they find bangles in surprise, I personally feel happy on sight of beautifully embellished bangles in surprise.

Mehandi is the Indian word for henna and it is known as the art of applying mehandi. The art of henna or mehandi is an ancient tradition almost 5000 years reverse but it is known today almost in every country. mehandi is used to make temporary designs on the hands and feet of women. Traditionally it was popular for its medicinal benefits. mehandi is made from the herb called henna. The leaves of the plant are used for mehandi while rest of the plant is useful for other purposes. mehandi is used for hair conditioning and dyeing also, besides enhancing the beauty of body parts. Henna paste or mehandi is used on different occasions including wedding ceremonies and religious festivals. Frequently it is used for burns, foot care treatment, bruises and headaches etc.
To make mehandi patterns need some artistic hands. I am not of the opinion that only artistic hands can make designs but to make attractive and pretty looks we need professional artist’s hand. On wedding ceremonies the brides in order to look gorgeous and different from others, are made ready by professional parlors. Professional artists can make Arabic designs, Indian designs and African designs and many more depending on choices and demands of customers. mehandi designs may be complicated or simple, minute or small, whatever may be the design, it always enhance beauty to a person. A variety of traditions describes the use of mehandi including games and legends. For example the name of bridegroom is written somewhere in the complicated pattern of bride’s hand and groom is supposed to find his name, if he cannot find then bride is supposed to dominate over the groom. Similarly, the dark co lour on the hand of bride shows the strong relationship of newly spouse.

Tips for using mehandi
• To get attractive and pretty results use a cone with tiny hole at end.
• In order to gain smooth consistencies avoid ready made pastes in tubes.
• First know the choice of person on whom you are going to make mehadi designs then make it attractive accordingly.
• After applying mehandi, leave it for until it dries but for more good results keep it unwashed for 6 to 7 hours.
• For more prominent results you can use oil on mehandi.

Beauty may be the characteristic of person, animal, place, idea or object that gives pleasure and satisfaction. Beauty is a combination of outer beauty and inner beauty. Inner beauty includes personality, intelligence, grace, charm, integrity and other psychological factors. Outer beauty sometimes called physical attractiveness includes physical factors such as health complexion, sexiness etc. outer beauty can be measured but inner beauty is difficult to measure.
Beauty makes person vain. They look upon themselves as something made of superior stuff, and expect admiration from all. Beauty is but skin deep. Therefore it is neither permanent nor a real qualification of someone. Beauty may be lost but virtue is permanent. Person who is proud of his or her face may dazzle someone’s eyes for a few minutes but they can never inspire love and admiration. But a virtuous person, who is spotless in word and deed, pure and honorable, courteous and kind always wins praise and admiration of others.
Beauty is purely God gifted but one can make themselves beautiful by doing right deeds and actions. Not only physical appearance matter but it’s the virtue that matters in this life and also in hereafter.

Friendship is sometimes described as a “sheltering tree”. Friendship is one of the greatest blessings of God. Man is social animal and always likes to live in the company of his fellow beings. I think a man without wealth may find some comfort in life, but a friendless man is a miserable fellow.

Friendless person is one who is under sentence of penal servitude for life with solitary confinement. He is the loneliest creature on God’s earth. There is none to share his joys and sorrows. His pleasures, at the most, are only a shadow of pleasure. His sorrows are deepened into blackest gloom, because he knows no soul to help him with his burden. Friendship brings safety and consolation in the hour of need and desperation. In a nutshell, friendship makes life worth-living
I am grateful to God that He blessed me with this precious and essential thing of life. And I am thankful to my friends who choose me as their friend.

True education moulds our character and develops our physical, mental and spiritual abilities and faculties. I think the aim of education is not merely to get knowledge, but to love knowledge not merely to be honest, but to love honesty, not merely to be just but to love justice, not merely to be true but to hunger and thirst after truth. It enables us to face the problems of life boldly and overcome them efficiently.

Education provides us with power of discrimination between right and wrong. A truly educated person is one who is noble, kind, loving, gentle bold, upright, straightforward and honest under all situations. He never falls a prey to temptation for worldly and material gains. Education removes fear, doubt and superstition from our minds. A truly educated person is humble and God fearing. He never usurps the right of others, rather he lives for others. Education makes us cultured, refined humane and loving. It teaches us to be friendly, hospitable, charitable, generous and helpful to all. It enables us to think, decide and act for ourselves

Education is the only mean of development and progress of human race. It aims at developing human mind as a whole. It is the only factor that distinguishes us from animals. A true teacher doesn’t bid his pupils enter the house of his wisdom and knowledge instead he leads them to the threshold of their own mind.

Traveling has always been regarded as a part of young one’s education. Traveling gives us first hand knowledge which books cannot provide. Stevensson, rightly said that “books are mighty bloodless substitute for life and can impart only second hand knowledge at the best”. Traveling gives an excellent training for building one’s character.

Traveling brings about understanding between different nations and links them together in close cultural relations. Traveling serves as a true test for one’s strength of character. Our love for good and dislike against the evil depend largely on public praise and blame. Thus if we can show fellow-feeling, courage, generosity and goodness while traveling among strangers, it means that we really have strong character

Worlds great travelers like Ibne Batuta, Columbus and Saadi Shirazi have been men of great renown. They acquired knowledge about men through travels and became great discoverers, poets and experienced men of the world.

Thus in every land and through all ages, the importance of traveling has been realized. Therefore I think our educationalists as well as our social institutions should give due importance to this aspect of life.

Healthy person is one who is mentally relaxed and physically fit thus not only absence of disease is considered as a complete health. A complete health is a combination of mental, physical, social and emotional stability. Life is totally depended upon one’s health. If somebody lacks health, he is considered to be lack of the basic resource of life. Life is incomplete without health because if someone is not fit how he will be able to carry on his work in such a condition. As unable to carry out work, he will not be able to fulfill the basic necessities of life. Thus health is considered as a resource not the objective of life.

Physical fitness is the good body health. And one can obtain this good health by getting balanced diet, nutrition and by having regular exercise. Mental health is the absence of mental disorder and having emotional stability. If someone has ability to handle stressful situation and can work productively, he is said t be possessing mental health.
One should give first priority to his health because health is that precious gift of God which brings happiness to one’s life. One’s life is demolished if his health is broken down .
