तिरंगा है धर्म हमारा,
केसरी है साहस हमारी I
भाईचारा तो बिलकुल है,
पर शांति को ना मिटने देंगे I
सलाम उन जवानों का,
जो दूर रहकर भी पास है I
देश है स्वाभिमान हमारा ,
स्वतंत्रता है हक हमारा I
बलिदान हो गए वे अमर लोग,
हक का एहसास दिलाकर I
जता ना पाए देश प्रेम,
ना पोंछ पाए वह आँसू I
नियत है छोटी पर अरमान बड़े,
मिटा कर भी ना मिटने दिया,
यही है सच्चा देश प्रेम I

धरती का मैं हिस्सा हूँ,
समुद्र मुझे कहते हैं|
कई जीवों का घर हूँ मैं,
जो मुझमें रहते हैं|
शांत , रूद्र कई रूप है मेरे,
मेरी लहरें रुकना जानती नहीं |
सूर्योदय का सुंदर दृश्य,
मेरे किनारों से अच्छा कहीं मिलता नहीं|
रंग बिरंगी मछलियाँ है तैरती मुझमें,
तरह-तरह के पौधे है खिलते|
नीला हूँ ऊपर से,
पर रंगीन है मेरी प्यारी मछलियाँ,
शांत हूँ मैं अंदर से,
बहुत गहरी है मेरी गहराईयाँ…

The plot follows a 27-year-old Anne Eliot. Happily, engaged to a charming naval officer Frederick Hemsworth in 1806, Anne breaks off the engagement because of his low social status when persuaded by her ill-meaning friends and proud family. Seven-years-later when the Eliot family is in financial trouble on account of their lavish spending, they lease-out Kellynch Hall and decide to settle in a cheaper home in Bath until their finances improve. Sir Walter, Elizabeth, and Elizabeth's new companion, Mrs Clay, look forward to the move. Anne is less sure she will enjoy Bath, but cannot go against her family. Mary is now married to Charles Musgrove of Uppercross Hall, the heir to a respected local squire.
Anne visits Mary and her family, where she is well-loved. As the war against France is over. he new tenants of Kellynch Hall, Admiral Croft and his wife Sophia, (Frederick's sister), have returned home. Captain Wentworth, now wealthy and famous for his service in the war, visits his sister and meets the Uppercross family, where he crosses paths with Anne. The Musgroves, including Mary, Charles, and Charles' sisters Henrietta and Louisa, welcome the Crofts and Captain Wentworth, who makes it known that he is ready to marry. Henrietta is engaged to her cousin, clergyman Charles Hayter, who is absent when Wentworth is introduced.
Anne still loves Wentworth, so each meeting with him requires preparation for her own strong emotions. She overhears a conversation in which Louisa tells Wentworth that Charles Musgrove first proposed to Anne, who turned him down. This news startles Wentworth, and Anne realises that he has not yet forgiven her for letting herself be persuaded to end their engagement years ago.
Anne and the young adults of the Uppercross family accompany Captain Wentworth on a visit to see two of his fellow officers, Captains Harville and Benwick, in the coastal town of Lyme Regis. Captain Benwick is in mourning over the death of his fiancée.
Anne attracts the attention of Mr William Elliot, her cousin and a wealthy widower who is heir to Kellynch Hall despite having broken ties with her father years earlier. The youthful Louisa sustains a serious concussion at the sea wall while under Captain Wentworth's supervision. Anne coolly organizes the others to summon assistance. Wentworth is impressed with Anne's quick thinking and cool-headedness, but feels guilty about his actions with Louisa, causing him to re-examine his feelings for Anne. Louisa, due to her delicate condition, is forced to recover at the Harvilles' home in Lyme for months. Captain Benwick, who was a guest as well, helps in Louisa's recovery by attending and reading to her. Following Louisa's accident, Anne joins her father and sister in Bath with Lady Russell.
Anne finds that her father and sister are flattered by the attentions of their cousin William Elliot, thinking that if he marries Elizabeth, the family fortunes will be restored. William flatters Anne and offhandedly mentions that he was "fascinated" with the name of his future wife already being an "Elliot" who would rightfully take over for her late mother. Although Anne wants to like William, the attention and his manners, she finds his character opaque and difficult to judge. Admiral Croft and his wife arrive in Bath with the news that Louisa is engaged to Captain Benwick. Wentworth travels to Bath, where his jealousy is piqued by seeing William trying to court Anne. Captain Wentworth and Anne renew their acquaintance.
Anne visits Mrs Smith, an old school friend, who is now a widow living in Bath under strained circumstances. She discovers that beneath William's charming veneer, he is a cold, calculating opportunist who led Mrs Smith's late husband into debt. . Although Mrs Smith believes that William is genuinely attracted to Anne, she feels that his primary aim is to prevent Mrs Clay from marrying Sir Walter, as a new marriage might mean a new son, displacing him as heir to Kellynch Hall. Captains Wentworth and Harville encounter them and Anne at the Musgroves' hotel in Bath, where Wentworth overhears Anne and Harville discussing the relative faithfulness of men and women in love. Deeply moved by what Anne says about women not giving up their feelings of love even when all hope is lost, Wentworth writes her a note declaring his feelings for her.
Outside the hotel, Anne and Wentworth reconcile, affirm their love for each other, and renew their engagement. William leaves Bath; Mrs Clay soon follows him and becomes his mistress, making it more likely that he will inherit Kellynch Hall. Lady Russell admits she was wrong about Wentworth and befriends the new couple. Once Anne and Wentworth have married, Wentworth helps Mrs Smith recover the remaining assets that William had kept from her. Anne settles into her new life as the wife of a Navy captain.

Family is the first school in a child’s life. It introduces us to the world and pursues values and ethics. Our family values and traditions are our first valuable asset. It is the foundation of an individual’s character and personality. Family is the place where we can share our problems and happiness with each other. It creates a bond among the members of the family and such bond becomes indivisible.
A family makes us responsible. Whenever we are in a problem of any kind, the family becomes a helping hand for us. But now I think the term FAMILY has totally changed, as in the family there is no one to give a warm hug which makes us feel comfortable. Earlier we used to have a maximum number of joint families, but now we can see the maximum number of nuclear families as the parents have shifted to other places, to earn their livelihood.
As nowadays in the maximum families both the parents are working, they don’t have time to spend with their children. Earlier the ethics and values were imbibed in the children through the stories told by the grandparents, though the family members were busy throughout the day but they used to have their dinner together and the dining table was the place where people used to discuss about the whole day work, their happiness, problems etc. But now, there is no time for each other. As in the present scenario, even If the family sits together to have their food, they are seen busy with their cell phone, updating themselves. During the free time parents spend their time with their children, but at present there is no word called FREE TIME.
By all these things, we can find that there is a huge gap in the bonding of the parents and the child. We know that the child learns what their parents do, so nowadays children are also busy in their life keeping themselves busy watching mobile. We can find the lack of attachment between the parents and the child. Nowadays, the child hesitates to share his/her problems and happiness with their parents. I don’t say it’s happening in every family, but it is an alarming situation now. I wish everyone should realize the actual meaning of family and no child should be left all alone.
