22. Patriotism Versus Internationalism
Ans. We find some people who love themselves more than they love their parents. They think of their own happiness and comforts before the comforts and happiness of their father and mother. Similarly, some people love their country less and love themselves more. Such people are selfish. Just as man grows up in the lap of his mother, he is brought from making any sacrifice for his motherland when he is called upon to do so. Who can forget the great sacrifices of Bhagat Singh, Subhash Chandra Bose, Lala Lajpat Rai, Gandhiji, Nehru and other freedom fighters who sacrificed their all for the freedom of their motherland? Such patriots are honoured everywhere in all ages. Patriotism is of two kinds : the first is a healthy one and should be encouraged while the second one is of an undesirable kind and should be condemned. Healthy patriotism teaches us to love our country with all our heart and to do everything in our power to make our country happy, great and glorious. It tells us to build our glory on the ruins and suffering of other nations. The first kind of patriotism is good for our country and for the world. The second kind of patriotism is bad for the world and will, sooner or later, be bad for the country that oppresses others. It is our duty to love the land of our birth. It is also our duty not to hate other nations. We must try to cultivate a healthy type of patriotism and to devote ourselves wholeheartedly for the uplift and prosperity of our country. We must not have the perverted notion of patriotism that believes in the dictum : " My country, right or wrong." Most of the crimes against humanity have been committed by people having this type of fanatic patriotism. Patriotism must go hand in hand with internationalism. One should never forget one's duty towards humanity in general. Such patriotism as encourages narrow, parochial fanaticism is a bad type of patriotism which has no place in a fast progressing civilization of today.

It was first identified in Wuhan, China in November 2019 and then it spread all over the world.
Symptoms:
One of the common symptoms of this disease is common cold. It spreads with the droplets of an infected person through coughing or sneezing and through touching surfaces with the infected hands. The Covid-19 virus may survive on some surfaces for several hours. The person may suffer from high fever, cough, and breathing problems. These are some common symptoms.
Precautions:
Some precautions should be taken to avoid infections.
* We should wash hands frequently using soap and water.
* We should cover our mouth and nose with masks or other clothes.
* We should keep social distance from other people.
* We should get ourselves tested for Corona in the hospital.
Vaccine:
The COVID vaccine was launched in India on 16th January, 2021. The first group includes healthcare and front-line workers. The second group to receive COVID 19 vaccine will be persons over 60 years of age. In the third stage, all the persons above 45 years can now take the benefit of free vaccination without any medical certificate.
Outbreak:
This is the biggest pandemic of the century. It affected more than 50% population of the world. This virus spread in more than 180 countries of the world. Most of the countries applied 100 days Lockdown ever done in history.
As on 24th March 2021, America has 30 millions cases and 543000 deaths due to Corona. Brazil has 12 millions cases and 299000 deaths; while India has 11 millions cases and 160000 deaths. In India more than 95% patients have recovered from this deadly disease.
Impact:

Due to Corona, education, flights, sports events, festivals, social occasions,tourism etc. were affected. Restaurants, theatres, malls, schools, colleges, were closed.
Daily wagers had to suffer an unimaginable poverty. Many students had to study online.
Steps:
Many steps were taken by government to support people. Government has released more than 20,000 crore funds for Corona affected people. This is the largest amount ever granted in the history of Indian economy. Special Covid-19 hospitals and wards were set up immediately.
Positivity:
We also saw some positive effects of Lockdown like cleaner sky, decrease in air and noise pollution.Crime rates and accident rates also decreased during Lockdown. Finally we hope Covid-19 will disappear completely from the world.

7. When roads become dump yards as if deconstructed and unsurfaced roads were not enough,
Amdavadis battle strewn garbage and lack of dustbins
The pavements in Paldi area have been taken apart being restored. To make matters worse, irresponsible residents use the sidewalks as dump yards.
Mirror render Monica Naik wrote to Team AM, listing the issues they face on daily basis. She says, "The Metro work is on in full-swing, which is great news for scores of Amdavadis.
But on the flip side, the extensive work has ruined the pavements which were taken apart months ago. They wanted to install streetlights on both sides of the road." Naik wrote to Mirror
recently.
She added, "But after that, no repairs have been done to reconstruct the footpath, instead the area outside my house have become a garbage dumping ground."
"Also, the AMC dustbin of this area has also been shifted elsewhere and residents now litter the whole place with garbage," Naik said.

5. Food for thought
Amdavadi Mohit Singh Arora and his team at Robin Hood Army curb wastage of food and feed thousands of slum kids as a part of their food drive.
Not wasting food is always a good virtue, they say and they carry on food and education drives in the city at regular intervals. Mohit Singh Arora and Ankita Vasavda, who are part of RHA (Robin Hood Army) say, "We volunteer to get surplus food from restaurants and distribute it to the less fortunate people."
The main aim of this organization is to eliminate hunger and food wastage globally. Their Ahmedabad local chapter started six months back and is run by people who hope to create a difference in their own small way.
"Our volunteers are largely students and young working professionals. We have 50 active members who strive to help the underprivileged that, includes homeless families, night shelters, orphanages, and patients from public hospitals. Till now we have fed around 9000 plus kids. We have a group on Facebook and WhatsApp where people can post about their leftover food. After that our team collects food to give it to the needy." explains Ankita.
The group has also done an education drive. "When we do our food drive in different areas we get to know which area's kids are interested in learning new things. We found that in Makarba, kids were really enthusiastic to learn new things. So we started teaching them on Sundays initially, but later on started it for three days in a week," she added.
"Till now we have 8000 volunteers across the world. RHA has now expanded in 12 countries and 40 cities. In Ahmedabad, this Sunday, we are completing 100 drivers," says Mohit Singh Arora.

23. Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Ans. We live in a democracy and our political leaders promise us the stars at regular intervals of five years. We wish some of their words really turn into actions. How hard we long to have a Mahatma in our midst to show us the right path through his own actions ! Alas!, they are not to be. Day after day we hear hollow words and learn the hard way that actions speak louder than words - what we do is more important than what we say. A good orator may talk about compassion for hours on end; but it takes a Mother Teresa to lift a dying man and nurse him. We needn't have to wait for a great opportunity to come by to act; every single deed that makes this world a better place is a good and great deed. Lending a helping hand or giving a pat on the back or flashing a smile of encouragement - all these go a long way towards making this world a better place. Of course, words have their place. It is good to deliver a speech on the ways to change this world; but it is always better to do your bit to change this world; Yes, actions speak louder than words.

A day earlier, Mr Rupani had announced 5,000 more seats in MBBS in medical colleges across the state in the next two years.
Currently, there are 3,530 seats for MBBS in 6 government and 14 self-financed medical colleges across the state. Around 200 parents, on behalf of Gujarat Parents Association that boasts of 3,000 members whose children are preparing for medical entrance examination, submitted a memorandum to the CM, demanding an increase in the number of seats.
Manish Patel (47), whose daughter Dhwani (17) is a medical aspirant, said, "NEET is about to take place and the state government has not yet increased the number of seats. Their plan to increase 5,000 seats matters only if our children get the benefit from this year. The CM has assured us that he will look into the matter."
