Umberto Eco
Interstices…
We have a lot of empty spaces in our lives. I call them interstices. Say you are coming over to my palace. You are in an elevator and while you are coming up, I am waiting for you. This is an interstice, an empty space. I work in empty spaces. While waiting for your elevator to come up from the first to third floor, I have already written an article.

1.The cutting of my long hair....Zitkala-Sa
2. We too are human being........Bama
Bama said that her elder brother told to her " because we are born to this community, we are never given any honour or dignity or respect; we are stripped of all that. But if we study and make progress, we can throwaway these indignities. So study with care, learn all you can. If you are ahead in your lesson, people will come to you of their own accord and attach themselves to you. Work hard and learn." The words that Annan spoke to me that day made a very deep impression on me.

Note - making is an important study- skill. It also helps us at work. We need to draw the main points of the material we read as it is difficult to remember large chunks of information. It helps us to discriminate important points from the less important ones.
Why Notes are Important:
We need notes -
1. to consult before an examination;
2. for writing an essay;
3.for preparing a report;
4. for summarizing.
Characteristics of Good Notes
Read carefully the characteristics of good notes which are given below :
1. (i) Notes should be short. They should identify the main point.
(ii) They list information which is called appropriate format.
(iii) They are written only in phrases; not sentences.
2. Information is logically divided and subdivided by the use of figures/letters. Title is written first.
3. Abbreviations and symbols are freely used. Articles, preposition and conjunctions are omitted.
4. Notes must make sense when they are read again otherwise they be of no use.

वास्तव में आज की इस भागदौड़ भरी जिंदगी में हम लोग सामाजिक दायित्वों के प्रति उदासीन हो गए है। समाज के प्रति अपना उत्तरदायित्व को भूल रहे है। पे बैक टू सोसाइटी का महत्व भूल गए है। मनुष्य इतना स्वार्थी हो गया हैं कि केवल अपने परिवार, जाति, सांप्रदायिक कट्टरता में फंसता जा रहा है। समाज में धार्मिक और सांप्रदायिक कट्टरता को बढ़ावा देते हुए मानवीय मूल्यों को भूलता जा रहा है।
