Dear Mr.John,

This is jagadish, i am one of your tenant in your house addressed sector 44, Sweden. I have been living in the house since couple of years. I met you on few occasions with regard to the rent.

I would like to bring to your notice that i am not happy with the furniture in the house. The Furniture i too old now. It is posing a wornout look with cracks and is in a dilapidated condition. Because of this the interior of the house looks poor. The cracks in the furniture has become home to bugs. Due to this we are unable to keep our cloths in them. The furniture need immediate attention.

Request you to kindly look into the matter, possibly take necessary steps on the rework of furniture. I will be glad if you could consider my request.

Hope to meet you soon on a positive note.

Yours Sincerely,
Jagadish

IELTS - Writing Task 1

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on your children.
Do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.

It is absolutely correct that by everyday use of computers by childrens, it has more negative effects than positive. I agree with the argument.

Stating this i am not against the use of computers. yes they are very essential for the growth of the children at the academic level. they help the children in many ways by providing upto date information on what is happening around the world through internet and also by assisting thme in the preparation of presentation and charts.

But working on computers for a longer period of time affects the eye sight, which inturn leads to headache and other ailments. By seeing compueter screen for a long time will have huge pressure on the neurons of the eye and will weeken them. Thus au a very early age children are forced to wear spects. I have seen my neighbours child who used to spend lot of time before computer playing games. Now his vision became poor and wears spects to compensate the loss. It also affected his studies and resulted in poor academic grades.

I strongly believe that parents should take proper measures on children using computers. They have to educate children to use computers properly. Especially parents need  to see if their children are playing games on the computers, because most childrens get addicted to computer games and it will be very difficult to overcome it. Hence parents should advice them to spend only 2 hrs everyday on computers and rest of the time on outdoor play and studies.

Mother's Love!! Can anyone explain...........

The answer in no, the reason is clear, love of mother is so much that it cannot be explained in words, there is no limit... Let me tell you a small but true story which i hope will make your soul to weep.

It so happened when an earthquake shook southern china's small village. The quake devastated the entire village, almost everyone died except one. The houses were ruined to debris. The rescue team were searching for survivors and one of the rescue officer with his crew entered a house to see for survivors, there he saw a woman in an unusual posture. She was dead and there was nothing the team could do so they walked out of the house. But the officer was thinking about the posture in which the woman died. She was bent with her two arms folded as if she was holding or covering something. She died as the ceiling fell on her hitting her head and back.The officer again went inside the house and on close observation, he saw a baby boy wrapped in a blanket covered in the arms of her mother. He was still sleeping unaware that his mother is no more. On removing the blanket from the baby boy they found a mobile phone with a message "if you do survive remember that i love you".

This is not just a story or incident, but it shows a mother love for her child which is beyond any explanation.

Thus love is not just a noun, it is a verb,it is not just a feeling but it is caring, helping, sacrifice.............

Why we need Jan Lokpal Bill?

Dear Friends,

It is now very important to know few facts about the Jan lokpal bill. What the bill all about and how it can help common man to get justice.

The bill is mainly drafted to control corruption and against corrupt government officials even of highest authority including PM. Corruption under law is a crime, its a heinous crime like murder and rape. In any developing country the wide difference in wealth between the rich and poor can lead to corruption because of the favors and power enjoyed by the rich. If the rich use the power for good then it will be fine but if the same is used against the poor then survival of the common man will be endangered. Hence corruption must be treated seriously and stamped out vigorously. Unless broader legal power is given to the Anti-corruption Agency, counter-corruption campaign will not be effective.

So with an intention to eliminate corruption from the roots, Jan lokpal billl is drafted. Anna Hazare along with other prominent people like Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal to name few have spent a lot of time working on different countries anti corruption policies, gathered opinions from people and drafted a bill in similar lines as of ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption, Hong Kong)  which from its inception on 1974 in Hong Kong has considerably reduced or i should say eliminated corruption in the many departments of the Hong Kong Government through law enforcement, prevention and community education. This is one of the main reason why now Hong Kong is the epicenter of rapid development. Anna's team considered good parts like these and drafted a Jan Lokpal bill to help a citizen from rich to poor to file a complaint against the corrupt officials in the path to seek justice.

We may ask our self why we need this bill as we have CBI, CVC (central vigilance commission) agencies already working on corruption and crime. Yes we do have these agencies to help us, but they are not independent bodies. They do not enjoy the powers to book a complaint against corrupt official until approved by the central government. CBI for example if they need to take action against an official or minister of high category needs to get permission from the same corrupt minister. Do you expect the minister to allow the CBI to take action? The answer is no and till date none of the ministers have given permission to have investigation to be performed on themselves. It has not happened now and will not happen in the future until strict independent body on anti-corruption is established.

The work of CVC also falls in the same lines as CBI. So these department are not of much help to the citizens.

We need a very strong independent body without any influence from the government. Jan Lokpal Bill drafted by Anna fulfills this as it is independent from government and enjoys the power to file complaint on corrupt officials or ministers including PM with no prior permission from anyone. The government is trying to portray the Jan Lokpal bill as parallel government, which is not true. The Jan Lokpal bill will just have the power to accept the complaint from the complainant, file a case against the corrupt official, investigate and move the case to the court. It will then be left to the court to take the final decision. So how come this bill will be a parallel government. The government is trying to mislead and confuse the people. 

To still make things worst the government has drafted a Lokpal bill which is completely opposite to the Anna's Lokpal bill. So now we have two bills. Lets see the different between the two bills.

Under the purview of government's lokpal bill panchayats, ministers like MP's and MLA's, PM, scams related to roads, telecom all are exempted. So what's their in government's lokpal bill. The draft says if a citizen complaints against a government official of corruption or any other crime  and if the accusation is proved false then the citizen who complained will get an imprisonment of  2 years. The accused official has rights to file a complaint against the complainant and the accused will be provided a lawyer to fight the case in court on government expenditure. And if the accused is found guilty he or she will be dismissed from their service or have to face imprisonment for just 6 months. This is a synopsis from the government's draft . It has lot of provisions for the accused to escape.

Does this bill really help us in the fight against corruption? Does a common man ever dare to file a complaint if this bill is passed. There is no protection for the citizens in this bill.

On the other hand Anna's Lokpall bill has the rights to book official or minister even of highest authority, if a citizen complaints. It will also take up the responsibility to protect the complainant. So that more and more people can raise their voice against corruption. Corruption is a high profit and zero risk business and must be cleaned from the roots if we want to see a developed country.  @64 we are still a developing nation and if corruption continues this way even after many years we will still be a developing nation rather than a developed nation.

The government is trying to pass the Lokpal bill drafted by them. If that happens only god can save us.

Request everyone to support Anna's Jan Lokpal Bill. This is a very noble cause for a good purpose, for our bright future. It is now or never. This is the right time we show our support. We can show our support by accepting and attending A week for India initiative. Hope to see your support.

Happy Independence Day!!
