A Paragraph on 'Our National Flag'.

The flag of a nation upholds its identity as an independent nation. Our National Flag is the symbol of our freedom, the aims and ideals of life. The idea of a National Flag was first taken in 1907 in Calcutta. The present shape of our National Flag was adopted on July 22, 1947. Our tri-coloured, rectangular flag has a bright saffron strip at the top. It stands for India's ideal of sacrifice and service. The white band in the middle symbolises truth, purity and peace. The colour green at the bottom represents strength, courage and youth. The ratio of the width of the length of the flag is 2 : 3. There is a blue Chakra in the centre of the flag. It stands for the wheel of life and progress. The flag is hoisted on the days of national importance. It is kept half-mast on the days of national mourning. Our National Flag is very dear to us. It is the lamp of our liberty. We shall keep this lamp ever alight. We shall try to keep the flag ever flying at all costs.

A Paragraph on 'Discipline'

We cannot live without liberty. But uncontrolled liberty leads to chaos. We cannot do whatever we like to do. There are certain limits to our desires. These limits are exercised on us by certain rules of social living. Obedience to these rules is called discipline. The word 'discipline' is derived from the word 'disciple'. A disciple or learner has to know how to follow and obey some established rules and regulations. It is certainly the key to success not only to an individual but to a nation as well. We obey some rules and there is order in the society. For a peaceful living we control our whims and maintain discipline. We think of us and think of others. Discipline is connected with co-operation. It is necessary everywhere in civilized life. It is an important key to success. A disciplined student shines in life. A disciplined team wins. And a disciplined army is rarely defeated. In absence of discipline a man moves aimlessly. A family loses peace. A society crumbles and there's anarchy in a country. So we obey rules. Rules regulate us and we live a happy life.
