Find an essay in Hindi on vigyan - vardan ya abhishap?

Answer 1

Back in my middle school days, my hindi teacher's favourite topic for essay writing used to be 'Vigyan: abhishap ya vardan?' (Science: a boon or a curse?). I thought it was boring but it had to be done. FIrst I would write about the different ways in which science has helped us. Then followed some unconvincing reasons to explain why science was bad for us (because the rule was that if you didn't write about both sides, your effort wasn't good enough). Anybody familiar with the Indian education system would confirm that. Now of course if I were asked to write about it again I'm sure I have a valid point when I consider that science has created a Frankenstein. Telemarketers.

As children we were so excited when the phone rang, always wondering if it was a school friend or a favourite relative. The excitement was understandable because very few people had phones in the good old days. My kids tell me that we grew up in the dark ages. I have something positive to say about the days without telephones.

Forget about the time wasted chatting on phone. The telemarketers make your life miserable. You are sitting for dinner, taking a nap or cooking your favourite meal, the phone rings. The hello on the other side doesn't sound familiar although it sounds sweet. Do you have 5 minutes to spare, ma'am? I would like to give you some tax saving tips; she means she is offering some financial schemes to invest in. You feel like screaming, I'll bother about the tax man after I have eaten. A quiet thank you and you gently keep the phone. You dig a spoon in your favourite ice-cream; you are already feeling guilty because of the number of calories you are going to consume and to increase your misery the phone rings. This time it is some body from some bank trying to sell you a credit card. It is the turn of a car financier next. This one was informative. I show some interest, the result is an improved general knowledge. You get a better price if you get your car financed. You end up losing money if you make a down payment. As if the tele marketers selling credit cards and bank loans were not enough, property dealers have started calling to enquire if I am intersted in selling or renting my house. The best is yet to come. Today I received a call from a person asking me if there is anybody of a marriageable age is in my family. The call was from a matrimonial agency. I couldn't believe my ears. Times are changing faster than I reckoned.
