Ruskin Bond
Most of his works are influenced by life in the hill stations at the foothills of the Himalayas, where he spent his childhood. His first novel,The Room On the Roof, was written when he was 17 and published when he was 21. It was partly based on his experiences at Dehradun, in his small rented room on the roof, and his friends. Since then he has written over three hundred short stories, essays and novels, including Vagrants in The Valley, The Blue Umbrella, Funny Side Up, A Flight of Pigeons and more than 30 books for children. He has also published two volumes of autobiography. Scenes from a Writer's Life describes his formative years growing up in Anglo-India; The Lamp is Lit is a collection of essays and episodes from his journal.
Bond said that while his autobiographical work, Rain in the Mountains, was about his years spent in Mussoorie, Scenes from a Writer's Life described his first 21 years. Scenes from a Writer's Life focuses on Bond's trip to England, his struggle to find a publisher for his first book The Room on the Roof and his yearning to come back to India, particularly to Doon. "It also tells a lot about my parents", said Bond. "The book ends with the publication of my first novel and my decision to make writing my livelihood", Bond said, adding: "Basically, it describes how I became a writer".
His novel, The Flight of Pigeons, has been adapted into the film Junoon. The Room on the Roof has been adapted into a BBC-produced TV series. Several stories have been incorporated in the school curriculum in India, including "The Night Train at Deoli", "Time Stops at Shamli" and Our Trees Still Grow in Dehra. In 2007, the Bollywood director Vishal Bhardwaj made a film based on his popular novel for children, The Blue Umbrella. The movie won the National Award for Best Children's film.

Following Traffic Rules At Road
We are living in a busy world and constant moving and shifting of location is part of our life. We depend mostly on two wheeler or four wheeler vehicle and it could be hired or self driven. While hiring an auto we are always keen about the cost of the trip and ready to go to the extend of arguing for fare charge. But have we ever be concern about the travel comfort of the trip. If the ride has been over speed or in a hurry to skip traffic signal are we not been culprit as the driver of the autorickshaw. As traffic sign and signals are for the good of public and safety of all vehicle drivers in the road, there should be no effort to over jumb the signal. To follow the traffic rule when the road is empty at early hour or late night hour also shows the high level of morality and discipline of the citizen. We see lot of death causing in our street , every day in newspaper. So a small attention to follow rules could save lifes of not only ours but also others. Feel free to comment.

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) was one of the first people to observe microorganisms, using microscopes of his own design.[29] Robert Hooke, a contemporary of Leeuwenhoek, also used microscopes to observe microbial life; his 1665 book Micrographia describes these observations and coined the term cell
microorganisms
Single-celled microorganisms were the first forms of life to develop on Earth, approximately 3–4 billion years ago.[13][14][15] Further evolution was slow,[16] and for about 3 billion years in the Precambrian eon, all organisms were microscopic.[17] So, for most of the history of life on Earth the only forms of life were microorganisms.[18] Bacteria, algae and fungi have been identified in amber that is 220 million years old, which shows that the morphology of microorganisms has changed little since the Triassic period.[19] The newly discovered biological role played by nickel, however — especially that engendered by volcanic eruptions from the Siberian Traps (site of the modern city of Norilsk) — is thought to have accelerated the evolution of methanogens towards the end of the Permian–Triassic extinction event.[20]
microorganism
A microorganism (from the Greek: ??????, mikros, "small" and ??????????, organismós, "organism") is a microscopic organism, which may be a single cell[1] or multicellular organism. The study of microorganisms is called microbiology, a subject that began with Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's discovery of microorganisms in 1675, using a microscope of his own design.
Microorganisms are very diverse and include all the bacteria and archaea and almost all theprotozoa. They also include some members of the fungi, algae, and animals such as rotifers. Many macro animals and plants have juvenile stages which are also microorganisms. Some microbiologists also classify viruses as microorganisms, but others consider these as nonliving.[2][3] Most microorganisms are microscopic, but there are some bacteria such as Thiomargarita namibiensis[4] and some protozoa such as Stentor, which are macroscopic and visible to the naked eye.
