Euphoria April 2013 - March 2014 | Page 68

Human lifestyle has been changing, from the day humans came to earth. And this changing lifestyle was supported by the introduction of new technologies.

As Shakespeare said “Death, a Necessary End, Will Come When It Will Come”. But friends, are we pulling the string of death looser by changing our lifestyle? Of course we are! Our needs for factory products lead to globalization and growing cities. And when human becomes a city dweller, he is directly exposed to all possible pollution, which leads on from honking of vehicles to harmful gas exhaled by factories.

The change in food that we consume is also a threat to mankind. The term “FAST FOOD” must be replaced with “FACTUAL FOOD”. Obesity, Hypertension, Diabetes, Cancer, High Cholesterol, Heart Diseases an endless list caused by our “Factual Food”.

This new era has come with a war, war against Mother Nature. The need for a better condition made him blind to what is right and what is wrong. And thus, human became the only species that destroys its habitat to live a better life.

We humans are considered to be the wisest species alive. But is destroying our habitat a wise move from our side? I am never of the opinion that we should not have development to save Earth. But when developing, develop sustainabily.

Life

by Rehab Khan, VIII 'B'

Life is a pleasure,

Which is full of adventure

Life is a race,

Which we have to face.

Life is a dream,

Its not all cream,

Life is a battle,

All times fatal.

Life is long,

Fill it with a song.

Life is rough,

Fill it with love.
