Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

16. Sample answer
While travelling I always take many photos and today I’m going to
tell you about picture 1. I took this photo when I was on my trip to
France last summer.
In the foreground of the picture you can see my sister and a
receptionist. They are in the lobby. My sister is very happy because
her dream came true: she is at a five-star hotel. The receptionist is
giving her flowers at the arrival day. He and the woman at the
reception desk are friendly and smiling. The receptionist is going to
help my sister with her luggage.
In the background of the picture there is a small table, three
armchairs and a comfortable sofa. I like the room in brown and
yellow colours because it makes the room cosy, bright and
beautiful. On the walls there are posters and rules for travellers.
I took this picture to recollect the moment of our arrival. Moreover, I
used this photo for my school project called “The world of
travelling”. That’s why I keep this photo in my album.
I decided to show this photo to you because you are going to have
a holiday in France next summer and I would like to recommend
you this hotel.
That’s all I wanted to say.

18.
19. Sample answer
I would like to compare and contrast the photos which are presented here.
There are different ways of going in for sports. And these two photos prove that.
I should say that the common theme of these pictures is doing sports.
Let me start with the 1st picture which shows a family: a boy, a girl and their
parents. The parents teach their children new downhill technique. And now they
stopped for a while to take breath. They also have all the necessary skiing
equipment for this kind of sport. As you can see they look very healthy and happy.
In the background of the picture you can see mountain peaks covered with
snow. The day is sunny and frosty and we see mountains quite well.
As for the 2nd picture, it shows a young girl sitting on the top of the rock.
She is fond of hiking. It must be summer because she is wearing a white T-shirt
and shorts. She is enjoying a spectacular scenery from the rock. The sky is blue
with white clouds and there is mist in the distance.
The two pictures have little in common. The most obvious similarity
between photo1 and photo2 is doing sports. People are going in for sports in the
open air. You can’t but agree with me that they look fit and healthy.
20. Obviously, there are a lot of differences. The 1st picture
shows 2 children and their parents in the mountains, but,
in contrast, the second one shows one girl on the top of
the rock. Besides, they go in for different kinds of sport.
Finally, the season is different. In the 1st picture it is a
sunny winter day, whereas in the 2nd picture, it is a cloudy
summer day.
As for me, I’d prefer to ski in the mountains
because I like this kind of sport. Moreover, it makes me
sporty and strong.
In conclusion, I would like to say that both pictures
make me think that sport is a great way to spend free time
and, of course, it is useful for your health.
That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for
listening.
