Back to the future

Children Corner - Ritwick Sinha,  Class-VIII,  Don Bosco Sr. Sec. School, Guwahati.  Year 3100 AD. India has completely changed from what it was some thousand years ago. I was in a place called Axemland, which I think was probably known as Assam long ago. I am not sure, as I had just reached this place with the help of a time machine. I was new to this place. I was one of the very few ‘complete humans’ here. All the others were a mix of humans and robots and called themselves ‘Robohumans'. They had prosthetic limbs. Their brains were more developed than the normal human brain. This combining of humans with robots could turn out to be the end of human life on earth. Then, as I walked down the road, I was stunned to see a skyline where each skyscraper was more than 2,000 metres tall. I also saw some flying cars, which the Robohumans called the ‘carocopters', and then I saw some passenger vehicles – all of which could fly! I also had a view of the ‘warp drive', ...

Do movies have anything meaningful to teach us?

Children's Corner Ritwick Sinha , Class-IV, Don Bosco Sr. Sec. School, Guwahati. Cinema plays a very significant role in our lives. It teaches us many things. The most important use of cinema is its educative value. What cannot be taught through dozens of lectures and volumes of books can be taught through one movie show. No doubt, some good movies have a healthy impact on the youth and such movies create feelings of patriotism, help in national integration and uphold human values. But unfortunately, some people misuse this form of entertainment. Nowadays, they show violence in films, which does more harm than good. If used properly, cinema can be of great help to all people.
