Women protection
Women in Pakistan face discrimination and violence which limits their empowerment. Several laws have been passed to protect women and promote their rights, such as restricting child marriage, criminalizing domestic violence, and establishing quotas to increase women's political participation. However, more work still needs to be done to fully implement these laws and change societal attitudes that enable the abuse and oppression of women.
The making of a scientist 2
The document describes Richard Feynman's early experiences that helped shape him into a scientist. As a young boy, Feynman's father would read to him from the Encyclopaedia Britannica, such as entries about dinosaurs. To help Feynman understand, his father would translate the factual information into concrete examples by comparing the sizes of the dinosaurs to their house. This habit of translating abstract concepts into realistic scenarios helped Feynman later in his life as a scientist.
The making of a scientist
Richard Feynman was a famous American physicist. In his memoir "The Making of a Scientist", Feynman describes how his father introduced him to patterns and mathematics from a young age using bathroom tiles. His father would set up the tiles in repeating patterns for Feynman to knock down. When Feynman's mother said to let him place the tiles randomly, his father insisted on teaching him about patterns to show him how interesting the world is. This early introduction to patterns by his father helped shape Feynman's curiosity and traits that later made him a successful scientist.

Newton's law
Nandita Das's poem "Newton's Law" describes a childhood memory where the poet was inattentive in science class. When her teacher suddenly called on her to explain Newton's Law of Gravity and mass, she froze with fear, trembling and unable to think. In her panic, all she could say was "Gravity" before falling right off the stage to the floor, much to the laughter of her classmates. The poem mixes humor and embarrassment in recounting this school experience.

Twice a week the winter thorough second stanza
- 1. WELCOME
- 2. TWICE A WEEK THE WINTER THOROUGH ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN
- 5. TWICE A WEEK TH WINTER THOROUGH • Twice a week the winter thorough • Here stood I too keep the goal: • Football then was fighting sorrow • For the young man’s soul. • Now in Maytime to the wicket • Out I march with bat and pad: • See the son of grief at cricket • Trying to be glad. • Try I will; no harm in trying: • Wonder ‘tis how little mirth • Keeps the bones of man from lying • On the bed of earth.
- 6. DISCUSSION OF THE POEM [2nd stanza] • The season moves on the spring and it is the month of may. The seasonal sport now being played is the game of cricket. The unhappy young man marches out to the playing area. Sporting his cricket bat and wearing the customary knee pads. He stands at the wicket.
- 7. • In cricket, there are two wickets, one each at each end of the pitch, consisting of three short upright sticks in the ground topped with those two loose crosspieces called ‘bails’. So he marches out with bat and pads to the wicket. He invites the reader to see him as he was then, a son of grief, that is, a very sad young man, trying to keep his sorrow temporarily at bay, and trying to be glad. The poem tells us how the young man uses the football season and the cricket season to show us how he attempted to deal with his unhappiness throughout the year.
- 8. QUESTIONS • What does he do in Maytime ? • What makes the son of grief glad ? • Locate from the second stanza the words or phrases that are related to the game.
- 9. ANSWERS • In May time, he goes out with his bat and pad and plays cricket. • Playing cricket makes the son of grief glad. • Wicket, bat and pad.
- 10. • Find out the rhyming words in the second stanza.
- 11. • Wicket – cricket • Pad - glad
- 12. • Write a few sentences about cricket.
- 13. THANK YOU
