The most memorable journey I have enjoyed is the train journey towards New Delhi. It is a two - day journey from Madurai. During last summer vacation, with my parents and my uncle, I went by train, which explored deep insight into the different cultures and languages of the people. As soon as I occupied the seat, two passengers seated across engaged me in a lively conversation. They were from Kerala and talked about their purpose of visit. On the way, the train stopped at Vijayawada. I had an occasion to have a chat with a few Telugu - speaking people. I saw some of them dressed in a different style. They were very polite and kind to me.
I was extremely happy when the train passed through Nagpur, where I bought delicious oranges. Though I could not understand Hindi, I talked with them in Tamil. With a smile, one of the vendors thrust oranges in my hands. I accepted them and gave some money that pleased him. At the end of the second day, we reached New Delhi. The journey broadened my knowledge about our country.

In olden days, choosing a profession was not all a cause of worry. A farmer's son became a farmer, a potter's son a potter, a king's son a king and so on. But in the modern era, it is skill and knowledge, not the caste or community of a person which decides what profession to choose.
The choice of a right profession is one of the most dreadful tasks a child has to face in his transition
from childhood to adolescence. My desire is to become a software engineer. when I grow up. My interest in this field has been since my primary school days. I have always had a fascination for computers. I love playing computer games very much. It was this interest in computer games that sparked off my curiosity about how software code is written and how graphics and animation are done. The basic skill required for a software engineer is to have a sense of logic and commonsense, a mind that can think in many dimensions simultaneously and the knack of solving problems.
I am well aware of the pros and cons of becoming an IT engineer. A software professional has to work under tremendous pressure, work late nights and has to meet almost impossible deadlines. He might get no time for family and friends. And as one moves up the ladder, the pressure would only increase.
On the brighter side, this job provides the best salary in the industry. Apart from regular salary hikes, one also gets ample opportunities to travel abroad and in the process makes a lot of money. More than the money, there are a lot of learning opportunities. Also there is a deep sense of satisfaction in helping to build systems that make people's lives easier.
My plan is to do my bachelor and master degree in engineering from the best engineering college in the country and then bag a job in a reputed company like Microsoft or Google. I hope that God willing, everything will turn out fine and I will get a chance to pursue the career of my choice and live the life of my dreams.

A.J. Cronin, the author of 'Two Gentlemen of Verona' pictures the two boys Jacopo with the real characters of gentlemen. The two gentlemen of Verona are the boys in the story, Nicola and Jacopo. Nicola, aged 13, was the elder brother of lacopo aged 12. Both the siblings were very sincere and self sacrificing. They were prepared to do anything for helping their sister Lucia to recover from tuberculosis. They lived a hard life and did all sorts of odd jobs. Right from shining shoes, seling fruit, distributing newspapers, to working as tourist guides and running their errands, they still looked contented and maintained their self-respect.
