Once upon a time in the city of San Francisco lived the 3 modern hippo brothers. They lived near the shining Golden Gate Bridge and always busy in some sort of way. The big brother was Michael. He took care of his 2 brothers and the one who worked and did a lot of chores while is brothers helped him. Roger the 2nd oldest brother was the cleverest. He always came up with idea. The smallest little kid was the cute and charming Patrick who couldn’t help in anyway because of his age, but when he got angry holy smokes the train would go fast. He was very scared because there was a dragon called Rafa. These guys lived their life like normal hippo’s but in between 1000’s and 1000’s of other animals.
On an early Thursday morning the 3 hippos mother, Rachel wanted the three hippo brothers to do some errands across the bridge. So, they started their journey to get to the other side of the bridge. Patrick was so excited that he asked his brothers “Can we race, can we race, to the golden gate bridge?” with his little wee voice. But before his brothers could answer, he ran off with excitement. Because he was the smallest, he was the fastest. When Patrick got there he waited for his brothers. All of a sudden he heard some sort of groaning. Then when he turned around the water was in the air and there was a red dragon called Rafa.
Rafa roared, “I want to eat you!” Rafa frightened Patrick so much that Patrick was so scared that he ran off the bridge and swam the rest of the way. Rafa got furious, but he knew that hippo had brothers that were on their way. Rafa laughed an evil laugh.
Since Roger was smaller than Michael he reached the bridge 2nd. Roger didn’t see Patrick waiting for him, but then he saw his footprints going towards the edge of the bridge. Then after some while he heard the groaning of the dragon. Roger knew from his studies that the groaning of a dragon was different from any other animal. All of a sudden Rafa the dragon came and again he said “ I want to eat you!” Roger wasn’t that afraid because he was very clever and was studying dragons. Roger stated “Don’t eat me, my older brother is bigger.” Rafa shouted “Don’t try that on me. I’m the most intelligent being on earth!” Roger had forgotten about that. Then he became very frightened. He ran off the bridge, just like Patrick had, but Rafa was too slow to catch him because he was so surprised.
Michael was so tired when he got to the bridge. He wondered where his brothers were. He also saw the tracks that went off the bridge. Then Michael heard the same groaning, except it was louder. It actually sounded angry. Then Michael saw Rafa. Michael was so scared that he ran towards the edge of the bridge. But this time, Rafa was ready for it. He blocked Michael’s way and Michael was so afraid of being eaten, he jumped. Then all Michael heard was booming in his ears. For what just happened was the breaking of the bridge. The bridge had collapsed. Rafa was weak and injured. Michael had gotten away by swimming.
Rachel, the three brothers’ mother had heard the noise and went to immediately check. When she saw the broken bridge, she was afraid that her sons wee hurt. She then saw the dragon was floating in the water and she screamed. Then Rafa heard the huge scream. Rafa then weakly said, “come down here and help me.” The mother did not even dare to help. Then she saw a large rock that was very near and was about to fall. She said, “come a little closer.” Rafa was so desperate for food that he listened to her. Then the next thing that happened was splash, and that was the last of Rafa. Rachel shouted her loudest to get the three brothers back to home. She wanted them to be back because she knew they had a hard day, especially with that dragon.
On the other side of the bridge, Patrick was so tired from swimming that he didn’t notice Roger or Michael come. Roger had the same feeling and so did Michael. They all heard their mother’s calling and knew it was her. They then came back to the real world. They went straight to their mother and then went home. They lived happily ever after.

The 3 modern hippos gruff
Once upon a time in the city of San Francisco lived the 3 modern hippo brothers. They lived near the shining Golden Gate Bridge and always busy in some sort of way. The big brother was Michael. He took care of his 2 brothers and the one who worked and did a lot of chores while is brothers helped him. Roger the 2nd oldest brother was the cleverest. He always came up with idea. The smallest little kid was the cute and charming Patrick who couldn’t help in anyway because of his age, but when he got angry holy smokes the train would go fast. He was very scared because there was a dragon called Rafa. The red dragon with sharp claws and sharp teeth. With the firing eyes and the triangle years. He only did 2 things sleep, eat, sleep, eat, and never stopped. This time it was him who was hungry. The hippo’s lived their life like normal hippo’s but in between 1000’s and 1000’s of other animals.
On an early Thursday morning the 3 hippos mother, Rachel wanted the three hippo brothers to do some errands across the bridge. So, they started their journey to get to the other side of the bridge. Patrick was so excited that he asked his brothers “Can we race, can we race, to the golden gate bridge?” with his little wee voice. But before his brothers could answer, he ran off with excitement.

All of a sudden Rafa the dragon came and again he said “ I want to eat you!” Roger wasn’t that afraid because he was very clever and was studying dragons. Roger stated “Don’t eat me, my older brother is bigger.” Rafa shouted “Don’t try that on me. I read this trick in the 3 billy goats gruff!” Roger had forgotten about that. Then he became very frightened. He ran off the bridge, just like Patrick had, but Rafa was too slow to catch him because he was so surprised.
Michael was so tired when he got to the bridge. He wondered where his brothers were. He also saw the tracks that went off the bridge. Then Michael heard the same groaning, except it was louder. It actually sounded angry. Then Michael saw Rafa. Michael thought that Rafa knew where Patrick and Roger so he asked him “Do you know where my 2 little brothers are” with his strong voice. Rafa said “ No but now I know why the big hippo is better than a small one to eat”. Michael got so scared that he ran towards the edge of the bridge. But this time, Rafa was ready for it. He blocked Michael’s way and was about to eat him that Patrick came flying to push Micahel and himself away form the sharp teeth of Rafa. Patrick and Michael landed in the water together and heard booming in their ears. For what just happened was the breaking of the bridge. The bridge had collapsed. Rafa was weak and injured. Michael and Patrick had gotten away by swimming.
Rachel, mother of the 3 hippo’s had heard the noise and went to immediately to check. When she saw the broken bridge, she was afraid that her sons were hurt. She then saw the dragon was floating in the water and she screamed. She got so scared that she screamed “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.” Then Rafa heard the huge scream. Rafa then weakly said, “come down here and help me.” The mother did not even dare to help. Then she saw a large rock that was very near the edge and was about to fall. She said, “come a little closer.” Rafa was so desperate for food that he listened to her. Then the next thing that happened was splash, and that was the last of Rafa. Rachel shouted her loudest to get the three brothers back to home. She wanted them to be back because she knew they had a hard day, especially with that dragon.
On the other side of the bridge, Roger was so tired from swimming that he didn’t notice Patrick or Michael come. They all heard their mother’s calling and knew it was her. Then they floated to their real world with jumping on the broken pieces of the bridge. While they were floating Michael hugged Patrick so hard and said “thanks Pat thanks.” When they reached to their own side the first action all of the brothers did was “We are never doing errands again mom” in their loud voice. Then they hugged their mom went straight to the house for some food. And lived their lives happily ever after.

Art I
Research material – different cultures that tattoo themselves on the face
1. This is not a culture but yes a big community of gangsters spread over the North United States and the South of United States specifically in places like Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.
They tattoo themselves for a very particular reason that when anti- gang laws were being enforced in these places and members of the criminal gangs were caught- the gang leader forced them to tattoo themselves to put them through a painful experience.
They not necessarily tattoo themselves on the face but also in place like the chest or the back. Tattoos are made in this community so that one can be recognized.
I didn’t actually like the concept of torturing yourself by placing yourself under pain but yes I liked these tattoo for the sole reason of its designs. The designs are pretty interesting as they have a literal story telling concept.
(http: //www. lifeinthefastlane.ca/extreme-body-piercing-branding-sacrification/offbeat-news)
In primitive societies, body art, including tattoos, served as the basis of recognition systems. Tattoos--whether as religious symbols, talismans, indicators of status or simply adornments --worked as a marker for group affiliations, be they geographical, ethic, tribal or familial.
While the Taiwan government and aboriginal community are aware of the importance of preserving Taiwan's aboriginal cultures, little attention was paid to rapidly disappearing tattoo traditions. In recent years, however, the Atayal--the second largest aboriginal group on the island--has moved to preserve its well-known face tattoos.
According to the Council of Aboriginal Affairs, tattooing dates back to about 1,400 years ago. Six of the island's 10 tribes--including the Atayal, Saisiyat, Paiwan, Rukai, Puyuma and Tsou--used tattoos.
The Atayal and Saisiyat, however, were the only two to apply whorled designs on faces. While Saisiyat women were tattooed merely on the forehead, the Atayal applied tattoos on their cheeks and chins as well, exemplifying the most comprehensive application of tattoos of the island's aboriginal tribes.
In spite of the awareness of the value of this cultural heritage, preserving facial tattooing is especially challenging because it is a race against time.
"Since most of those with tattoos are very old, it is urgent to preserve their life histories as living records of tribal culture," said Tien Kuei-shih.
Tien is a middle-aged Atayal devoted to researching his group's tattoo traditions. "I have interviewed all the tattooed men, the youngest one being 83 years old and the oldest 103. When I finished my first study in 1993, there were still 82 old men with facial tattoos, but now there are only 34," he pointed out.
Tien has thrown himself headlong into the project of recording this fading culture with the hope that both Han and aboriginal people will stop placing stigmas on tattoos and start seeing the serpentine, inky messages in elaborate facial tattoos as aesthetic impulses and a way of handing down tribal heritage.
"Once some of my son's classmates made fun of him because of our tribal elders' tattoos. The children said they looked like gangsters. Without any knowledge of my own tribe, I couldn't explain the meanings of the Atayal tattoos. I was ashamed so I decided to do some research," recalled 50-year-old Tien.
There are numerous legends purporting to explain the origin of tattooing. The most widely believed is that permanently ingrained pigments provided Atayal ancestors with a way to identify and protect later generations.
The Atayal believed that after death, spirits have to cross a rainbow bridge. Only those with face tattoos can be received in heaven through the guidance of their ancestors. "For my people, tattoos also have the power to ward off evil," said Tien.
Traditionally, the Atayal inhabited Taiwan's mountainous regions at heights of 500 meters to 2,400 meters above sea level, eking out a living by hunting and weaving. In order to be tattooed and acquire the right to marry, men had to prove their skills in hunting and battle, while women were expected to show excellence in weaving.
In addition, men, if successful in headhunting, were able to wear special tattoos on their chests, feet and foreheads. Tattoos thus represented honor and glory to tribal people.
For women, the whorled design symbolized chastity and duty. Girls got their first tattoo at five years of age, the second at 15 as a symbol of adulthood. In addition to appreciating one's weaving skills, tattooing was a means to test purity. It is said that promiscuous girls would die during the process.
Upon reaching adulthood, women were tattooed in winter or fall. Tattoo masters used jute threads to draw patterns, piercing faces with iron needles and applying ashes on wounds.
"Even though only natural materials were used, the process often caused infection. We thought our ancestors would cure chaste young girls," explained Tien.
When looking closer at the tattoos, it is easy to see that women's tattoos were more complex. They have a straight line on their foreheads and chins, with two U-shaped lines on their cheeks. Men, on the other hand, have just one straight line each on their foreheads and chins.
The more complex the patterns, the more responsibilities one had in society, said Tien. "The tattoo pattern for men is simpler, taking only about four hours to complete, while that for women takes 10 or more hours." Although the Atayal live in a patriarchal society, women's status was due to contributions to families, in particular, those decorated with dark whorled patterns on their faces were said to bring luck.
Due to a lack of understanding regarding the unique lifestyles of ethnic minorities, such as aborigines, some people regarded tattoos as a sign of savageness.
Those who had tattoos encountered severe discrimination after the Han people immigrated to Taiwan.
What is more, during the Japanese occupation (1895-1945), the colonial government considered skin ornamentation as violent and evil, causing a major decline in the body art. The tradition was banned until 1913. "The older generation is the last with face tattoos," said Tien.
A significant but little known aspect of tribal lifestyles is the manifestation of various art forms such as textiles with symbolic patterns, meaningful wall-decorations, woodcarvings or ritual dances.
Tattoos belong to the whole network of codes woven together in the fabric of tribal cultures. Yet, preservation of body decoration has been the most difficult.
"As people age, wrinkles gradually cover their faces. Numbers--who can be viewed as the best source of oral narrative about Taiwanese history--have shrunk greatly," said Tien with a sigh.
"Even though tattoos have supernatural meanings for wearers, they can not help the older generation defend itself against time. I hope the government will put more effort into saving this dying culture," he said.
Tien has opened an Atayal facial tattoo culture studio in Hualien County, home to most Atayal. He is recording the withering culture, preserving it through photographs.
"Even though they might not actually get face tattoos as their ancestors did, I hope modern Atayal understand the old ways and value the things tattoos symbolized: glory, honor and virtue."
There are many theories about the origin of face tattoo, which is now still a matter of debate because of different perspectives. Now, we would like to introduce the major theories:
Young lady in tattoo Young lady in tattoo
★A long long time ago, the ancestors of the Truku tribe thought that they had to worship the nameless gods with human head as sacrifice when misfortunes happened to them. Then, they could escape from the disaster. At one time, however, they went to war (coming out of grass) and tried to hunt enemies’ heads, they chopped the tribesman’s head by mistake. They thought if they tattooed their faces, they would not chop of their comrades’ heads by mistake.
★Long long time ago, according to the legend, a terrible thing happened. One day, many of the young women died without knowing what the reasons were. Such happening terrified the tribe’s people. But they could not find a way to save themselves. One night, a young girl saw their ancestor’s ghost in her dream. He told her, “If you want to escape from this disaster, you have to tattoo some patterns on your face.”
Early the next morning, the young girl told the tribe what she saw in her dream. Then, a smart man used burned charcoal to draw some patterns on the girl’s dress. And told all the women in the tribe to tattoo the same pattern and painted it black on their faces with thin needles. After the Truku women tattooed their faces, they would not die of unknown reasons. Then, tattooing the face had become a custom and was inherited by their descendants.TOP
Significance of Face Tattoo
Women’s tattoo Men’s tattoo
1. Symbol of Adulthood: The Truku would tattoo their foreheads when they were 5 to 10. Then, the male would tattoo their faces when they were 16 to 20; and the female 14 to 18 to symbolize their adulthood. In the tribe, men would not get married a woman without any face tattoo. And no woman would want to marry a man without any face tattoo as well. After tattooing their faces, they could participate in all the open activities. For the people without face tattoo, they would not be welcomed.
2. Expression of beauty: Tattooing pretty patterns on their faces, the women could attract the men’s attentions.
3. Badge for identification: The people from the Tayal and Truku tribe had to tattoo on their faces. During the war, it could enhance their will to unite, in order to prevent killing their tribes’ people or to get protections.
4. Tribal Identification: The patterns of tattoo differ from a tribe to another. For example, the Truku women tattoo U shape pattern on their faces. Meanwhile, the Tayal women tattooed V shape ones. In addition, the Primaw women tattooed 5 stripes on their foreheads, and the Tayal and Truku women only tattoo only 1 stripe. Also the Dueda prefers to tattoo a wide stripe on their cheeks.TOP
Research material – different cultures that tattoo themselves on the face
1. This is not a culture but yes a big community of gangsters spread over the North United States and the South of United States specifically in places like Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.
They tattoo themselves for a very particular reason that when anti- gang laws were being enforced in these places and members of the criminal gangs were caught- the gang leader forced them to tattoo themselves to put them through a painful experience.
They not necessarily tattoo themselves on the face but also in place like the chest or the back. Tattoos are made in this community so that one can be recognized.
I didn’t actually like the concept of torturing yourself by placing yourself under pain but yes I liked these tattoo for the sole reason of its designs. The designs are pretty interesting as they have a literal story telling concept.

In primitive societies, body art, including tattoos, served as the basis of recognition systems. Tattoos--whether as religious symbols, talismans, indicators of status or simply adornments --worked as a marker for group affiliations, be they geographical, ethic, tribal or familial.
While the Taiwan government and aboriginal community are aware of the importance of preserving Taiwan's aboriginal cultures, little attention was paid to rapidly disappearing tattoo traditions. In recent years, however, the Atayal--the second largest aboriginal group on the island--has moved to preserve its well-known face tattoos.
According to the Council of Aboriginal Affairs, tattooing dates back to about 1,400 years ago. Six of the island's 10 tribes--including the Atayal, Saisiyat, Paiwan, Rukai, Puyuma and Tsou--used tattoos.
The Atayal and Saisiyat, however, were the only two to apply whorled designs on faces. While Saisiyat women were tattooed merely on the forehead, the Atayal applied tattoos on their cheeks and chins as well, exemplifying the most comprehensive application of tattoos of the island's aboriginal tribes.
In spite of the awareness of the value of this cultural heritage, preserving facial tattooing is especially challenging because it is a race against time.
"Since most of those with tattoos are very old, it is urgent to preserve their life histories as living records of tribal culture," said Tien Kuei-shih.
Tien is a middle-aged Atayal devoted to researching his group's tattoo traditions. "I have interviewed all the tattooed men, the youngest one being 83 years old and the oldest 103. When I finished my first study in 1993, there were still 82 old men with facial tattoos, but now there are only 34," he pointed out.
Tien has thrown himself headlong into the project of recording this fading culture with the hope that both Han and aboriginal people will stop placing stigmas on tattoos and start seeing the serpentine, inky messages in elaborate facial tattoos as aesthetic impulses and a way of handing down tribal heritage.
"Once some of my son's classmates made fun of him because of our tribal elders' tattoos. The children said they looked like gangsters. Without any knowledge of my own tribe, I couldn't explain the meanings of the Atayal tattoos. I was ashamed so I decided to do some research," recalled 50-year-old Tien.
There are numerous legends purporting to explain the origin of tattooing. The most widely believed is that permanently ingrained pigments provided Atayal ancestors with a way to identify and protect later generations.
The Atayal believed that after death, spirits have to cross a rainbow bridge. Only those with face tattoos can be received in heaven through the guidance of their ancestors. "For my people, tattoos also have the power to ward off evil," said Tien.
Traditionally, the Atayal inhabited Taiwan's mountainous regions at heights of 500 meters to 2,400 meters above sea level, eking out a living by hunting and weaving. In order to be tattooed and acquire the right to marry, men had to prove their skills in hunting and battle, while women were expected to show excellence in weaving.
In addition, men, if successful in headhunting, were able to wear special tattoos on their chests, feet and foreheads. Tattoos thus represented honor and glory to tribal people.
For women, the whorled design symbolized chastity and duty. Girls got their first tattoo at five years of age, the second at 15 as a symbol of adulthood. In addition to appreciating one's weaving skills, tattooing was a means to test purity. It is said that promiscuous girls would die during the process.
Upon reaching adulthood, women were tattooed in winter or fall. Tattoo masters used jute threads to draw patterns, piercing faces with iron needles and applying ashes on wounds.
"Even though only natural materials were used, the process often caused infection. We thought our ancestors would cure chaste young girls," explained Tien.
When looking closer at the tattoos, it is easy to see that women's tattoos were more complex. They have a straight line on their foreheads and chins, with two U-shaped lines on their cheeks. Men, on the other hand, have just one straight line each on their foreheads and chins.
The more complex the patterns, the more responsibilities one had in society, said Tien. "The tattoo pattern for men is simpler, taking only about four hours to complete, while that for women takes 10 or more hours." Although the Atayal live in a patriarchal society, women's status was due to contributions to families, in particular, those decorated with dark whorled patterns on their faces were said to bring luck.
Due to a lack of understanding regarding the unique lifestyles of ethnic minorities, such as aborigines, some people regarded tattoos as a sign of savageness.
Those who had tattoos encountered severe discrimination after the Han people immigrated to Taiwan.
What is more, during the Japanese occupation (1895-1945), the colonial government considered skin ornamentation as violent and evil, causing a major decline in the body art. The tradition was banned until 1913. "The older generation is the last with face tattoos," said Tien.
A significant but little known aspect of tribal lifestyles is the manifestation of various art forms such as textiles with symbolic patterns, meaningful wall-decorations, woodcarvings or ritual dances.
Tattoos belong to the whole network of codes woven together in the fabric of tribal cultures. Yet, preservation of body decoration has been the most difficult.
"As people age, wrinkles gradually cover their faces. Numbers--who can be viewed as the best source of oral narrative about Taiwanese history--have shrunk greatly," said Tien with a sigh.
"Even though tattoos have supernatural meanings for wearers, they can not help the older generation defend itself against time. I hope the government will put more effort into saving this dying culture," he said.
Tien has opened an Atayal facial tattoo culture studio in Hualien County, home to most Atayal. He is recording the withering culture, preserving it through photographs.
"Even though they might not actually get face tattoos as their ancestors did, I hope modern Atayal understand the old ways and value the things tattoos symbolized: glory, honor and virtue."
There are many theories about the origin of face tattoo, which is now still a matter of debate because of different perspectives. Now, we would like to introduce the major theories:
Young lady in tattoo Young lady in tattoo
★A long long time ago, the ancestors of the Truku tribe thought that they had to worship the nameless gods with human head as sacrifice when misfortunes happened to them. Then, they could escape from the disaster. At one time, however, they went to war (coming out of grass) and tried to hunt enemies’ heads, they chopped the tribesman’s head by mistake. They thought if they tattooed their faces, they would not chop of their comrades’ heads by mistake.
★Long long time ago, according to the legend, a terrible thing happened. One day, many of the young women died without knowing what the reasons were. Such happening terrified the tribe’s people. But they could not find a way to save themselves. One night, a young girl saw their ancestor’s ghost in her dream. He told her, “If you want to escape from this disaster, you have to tattoo some patterns on your face.”
Early the next morning, the young girl told the tribe what she saw in her dream. Then, a smart man used burned charcoal to draw some patterns on the girl’s dress. And told all the women in the tribe to tattoo the same pattern and painted it black on their faces with thin needles.

Family Structure
The Family Structure Of The Talwar’s
In my family structure the family is like a democratic family. We vote for some big decision and we also have a discussion for our family needs and how we are doing financially and how I’m studying. My dad is the head of the family but we treat ourselves equally in the house and give everybody equal amount of freedom. Whenever we need to make a big decision we work together to solve the problems for the family. My father separates for a little time for us to think about we just talked about and then solve the problems. We don’t really have duties like a job for a certain day but whenever we get a duty we do it immediately if its really important. To solve problems in our family my father gives us 3 best choices of the problems and we all choose one and vote but never since we started we never got different answers. The family tree for us looks something looks like this:
1. Head of the Family the trunk in a tree- My dad Raman Talwar
2. The branches of the tree- My mom Neelam Talwar
3. The leaves of the tree- Me Siddhant Talwar

Self-Control
I think self-control means controlling your emotions, desires, or actions by your own will. For some people it is a big harm to their mentality and physicality. Well, this basically means to calm down, relax and be cool-minded. This mostly occurs when you are excited or angry at someone.
The places it occurs in are:
• Class
• The playground
• At your house
In class when we are singing songs, sometimes I get really excited with my friends and start talking with them. Or, when we are playing the tapping game I start talking with people because we stand in a line. Sometimes we start answering some questions and then I get hyper. There are many other reasons but these are the most popular reasons.
On the playground when we start playing I get really hyper because of people calling fouls which aren’t fouls. On the playground I also get into arguments with my friends and then in a basic not talking fight. Sometimes also start get angry and then during the game I shoulder push someone and then they keep calling it a foul but at the end I give the foul to them etc. Sometimes while playing if someone is angry at someone they might swear on that person or have some physical fights.
At my house when hyper I start listening songs and shouting them out while my parents get really annoyed. Sometimes when I feel like kicking my soccer ball I kick really hard and I accidentally break the window and then my parents scream at me. I think that when I feel very annoyed I bang something really hard and then my mom thinks that I got hard. Some teenage people also take drugs excessively and they need drugs to live and that harms their thinking and body. Sometimes I am playing a game on my PC and I lose temper I start screaming and as soon as I start
Screaming and then I need a pillow.
I think I need to improve my self-control mostly at my house and class.

Final Draft of dream speech
Having Peace One Day
I have a dream that all the members who are sitting here get peace one day. I have a dream that every citizen of this lovely world gets peace to enjoy its natural beauty. Hello, my name is Siddhant Talwar and today I am here to tell you about my dream. If you agree to follow and dream along with me this will help not only me but also you, you, you and you Mr.Friedmen yes you too! Today you are going to hear a number of topics which relate with peace one way or another. I want to be the one after Mr. Jeremy Gilley who started the project Peace One Day (POD). I know I cannot change a lot but I am sure We, I repeat, we can change the world in a bigger way. I’ll be talking about 3 main topics which are what the causes of not having peace are and then what my will is and last but not least how we can make a difference.
To turn my dream into reality, I deeply thought why we are not surrounded by peace, and, why very often we hear some news that, this unhappy incidence has taken place around us? There are a number of factors. In my first attempt, I felt that it is money, religion and power game among the different countries. Later, more efforts guided me that, no doubt, these three factors do contribute in dividing this world into different thoughts and religions. Today most of the countries are affected by acts of those people or groups who are not interested in peace. Violent actions of these people in the society are torturing every citizen of this universe. For instance, either it is
I wish a world, which will become into existence ignoring all differences of countries and people. In my opinion, service to any religion is to respect all religions and love every human being and rather to every creation of Almighty. This will create a healthy environment around us. When we will be together in thoughts and direction, we will be in a better position to fight against natural disasters whether it is Tsunami or even a drought in
For achieving this goal of Peace One Day all of us should:-
· remain vigilant and use proper care at every place and moment;
· work for the community as a whole;
· develop strong social, religious and economic structure in every country;
· respect international rules for the development of every human being;
· to help those who are weak financially by way of donations;
· commit to international peace;
· be honest, be safe, be respectful and be responsible – 4 Bs.
· spread the word to the people who could not join us today.
And if you can’t do that, please do not fight at your house!
So, I hope you will help yourself and me in our dreams. Remember you can make a difference in this world by the ideas I gave you moments ago. You can help us by going on www.peaceoneday.org by donating some money to the orphans; spread the word to others who couldn’t join this day with us. Never forget 21st September 2009 next peace day will help us, help the world, help peace one day become a reality.
Thank you,

To turn my dream into reality, I deeply thought why we are not surrounded by peace, and, why very often we hear some news that this unhappy incidence has taken place around us? There are a number of factors. In my first attempt, I felt that it is money, religion and power game among the different countries. Later, more efforts guided me that, no doubt, these three factors do contribute in dividing this world into different thoughts and religions. These elements compel each country to adopt different ways to become financially stronger as compared to other countries or regions.
Today most of the countries are affected by acts of those people or groups who are not interested in peace. Violent actions of these people in the society are torturing every citizen of this universe. For instance, either it is Middle East or some Asian countries; we do watch on television that these parts of the world are always disturbed. We saw another instance of unpeaceful activities of those terror activities, which attacked the Western World on 9/11, and later very recently in India when more than 150 innocent people were killed. I am sure their unmerciful and unpeaceful acts will not bring peace to the world.
I wish a world, which will become into existence ignoring all differences of countries and people. In my opinion, service to any religion is to respect all religions and love every human being and rather to every creation of Almighty. This will create a healthy environment around us. This will bring good for everybody and development of every country. When we will be together in thoughts and direction, we will be in a better position to fight against natural disasters whether it is Tsunami or even a drought in Africa. In 2007 according to the UN over 100 million people were active on Peace Day, in 192 countries. There were life-saving initiatives in 14 countries and over 80 activities in Afghanistan along where 1.4 million children were vaccinated against polio. Our joint action has enabled us to fight against polio and such initiatives under UN Flag have disabled polio. This dream of mine has not only help one country but also the world as a whole. We can achieve this goal only by way of global ceasefire and non-violence with a fixed calendar date.
For achieving this goal of Peace One Day all of us should:-
· remain vigilant and use proper care at every place and moment;
· work for the community as a whole;
· develop strong social, religious and economic structure in every country;
· respect international rules for the development of every human being;
· to help those who are weak financially by way of donations;
· create international agencies and follow its rules to respect each government;
· commit to international peace;
· be honest, be safe, be respectful and be responsible – 4 Bs.
· spread the word to the people who could not join us today.
And if you can’t do that, please do not fight at your house!
So, I hope you will help yourself and me in our dreams. Remember you can make a difference in this world by the ideas I gave you moments ago. You can help us by going on www.peaceoneday.org by donating some money to the orphans; spread the word to others who couldn’t join this day with us.

Having Peace One Day
Introduction:
I have a dream that all the members who are sitting here get peace one day. I have a dream that every citizen of this lovely world gets peace to enjoy its natural beauty. Hello, my name is Siddhant Talwar and today I am here to tell you about my dream. If you agree to follow and dream along with me this will help not only me but also you, you too Madam and perhaps all of us! Today you are going to hear a number of topics on peace in one way or the other. I want to be the one after Mr. Jeremy Gilley who started the project Peace One Day (POD). I know I cannot change a lot but I am sure We, I repeat, we can change the world in a bigger way. To turn my dream into reality, I deeply thought why we are not surrounded by peace, and, why very often we hear some news that this unhappy incidence has taken place around us? There are a number of factors. In my first attempt, I felt that it is money, religion and power game among the different countries. Later, more efforts guided me that, no doubt, these three factors do contribute in dividing this world into different thoughts and religions. These elements compel each country to adopt different ways to become financially stronger as compared to other countries or regions.
Main Body:
Today most of the countries are affected by acts of those elements or groups who are not interested in peace. Violent actions of these elements in the society are torturing every citizen of this universe. For instance, either it be Middle-east or some Asian countries, we do watch on television that these parts of the world are always disturbed. We saw another instance of unpeaceful activities of those terror activities which attacked the Western World on 9/11 and later very recently in
I wish a world which will be coming into existence ignoring all differences whether it is financial or otherwise. In my opinion, service to any religion is to respect all religions and love every human being and rather to every creation of Almighty. This will create a healthy environment around us. This will bring good for every body and development of every country. When we will be together in thoughts and direction, we will be in a better position to fight against natural disasters whether it is Tsunami on Eastern borders of the universe or some drought in

TT serves
§ Allowing the ball to bounce on one's own side twice
§ Double hitting the ball. Note that the hand below the wrist is considered part of the racket and making a good return off one's hand or fingers on the racket-holding hand is allowed, but hitting one's hand or fingers and subsequently hitting the racket is a double strike and an error.
§ Allowing the ball to strike anything other than the racket (see above for definition of the racket)
§ Causing the ball not to bounce on the opponent's half (i.e., not making a "good" return)
§ Placing one's free hand on the playing surface or moving the playing surface
§ Offering and failing to make a good serve (i.e., making a service toss and failing to strike the ball fairly into play)
§ Making an illegal serve: (e.g., one preceded by a player's hiding the ball or his failing to toss the ball at least 16 centimetres (six inches) in the air).
§ Hitting the net with racket or any body part.
§ By volleying the ball (not allowing the ball to bounce on your side)
