‘HOW CAN STUDENTS KEEP FIT AND HEALTHY?’
By Arun / Anita
Being healthy and fit in simple terms means taking good care of the body. We should remember that a healthy mind resides only in a healthy body. Good health of both mind and body helps one maintain the required energy level to achieve success in life.
It is essential for students to be fit and healthy because only then they can concentrate and perform well in studies. For this, it is necessary that they protect their bodies from the intake of harmful substances. Doing regular exercise, taking proper food and sleep are the defining factors for a healthy lifestyle. Being fit will keep them away from being lethargic, restless or tired.
A healthy student can focus not only on studies but also on other co-curricular activities. It will bring him mental stability too.
A healthy diet comprising of a balance of proteins, carbs and vitamins will help in maintaining fitness and enhancing immunity level. So each student should keep health on a priority. Being happy is also directly related to boosting your mental strength and health. So happiness is also a part of a healthy lifestyle.

THE DAY I GOT A NEW LIFE
It was a lonely rainy day. I was enjoying a cup of tea while sitting in the balcony of my first floor apartment. Suddenly, I felt dizzy and the cup fell from my hand. I felt pain in my chest. I thought that this was the last moment of my life. I wanted to call my daughter, my husband and everyone to say the final good bye, but couldn’t do so. I was thinking of their life without me. I was worried what would happen to them if I collapsed. I prayed to God to give me some more time. I had always thought of giving a wonderful life to my daughter. Then my thoughts shifted to my husband who can’t live without me. He was used to having me around him all the time. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind, ‘You have to live. Get up and do something’. I tried to call but it was as if I was dumb. I knew I should not lose my wits. I should do something to keep going till my family notices me. Suddenly, I picked my mobile and dialled 102.1 don’t know what happened after that. When I came to senses, I was in a hospital room with a team of doctors bending over me. Later, I was told that I had been taken in an ambulance to the hospital in the nick of time. Any delay could have been fatal. I was happy to see my family around me. Timely treatment saved my life.

THE BRAVE GIRL
Reena, a ten-year-old girl lived in a slum with her relatives. One day when she was alone at home, a stranger knocked at the door asking for her uncle. She did not know him but let him in. It did not strike her at the moment that it could be dangerous. Her aunt came at that exact time. She too did not recognise him. She asked him to come later when her husband would be at home. He took out a knife and put it on the girl’s neck. He started threatening them to bring out all the cash and valuables. Reena made a quick plan and fell on the man’s feet pretending to plead with him. After a few seconds, she suddenly stood up, grabbed the knife from his hand and threw it out from the window. Her aunty raised an alarm and started shouting. Within no time, people from the neighbourhood gathered there. They caught him and got him arrested.
