Ans. Deadly Driving There is no doubt that rash driving is responsible for the increase in the number of accidents in Delhi. Most of the time, it is the fault of the drivers who do not adhere to traffi c rules at all. They jump signals while over speeding and as a result hit people or other vehicles which results in fatal accidents on the road. The need of the times is to follow traffi c rules and drive carefully. Anyone found fl outing the traffi c norms should be heavily fi ned and drivers need to be thoroughly educated about the traffi c rules. Only then can we counter this ‘Deadly Driving’.

Dearest Vicky,
We received your progress report yesterday with a special remark from your teacher that you are not taking any interest in games and other co-curricular activities.
This is indeed very unfortunate and even worse is the fact that your teacher attributes this disinterest to your sheer laziness. We are more concerned than upset about this. It is absolutely essential to take part in games and extra-curricular activities. As you are aware that a healthy mind stays in a healthy body. So you have to ensure that your body remains fit and active and to do that you have to shirk your laziness and get down to playing any sport of your choice and participating in co-curricular activities.
I hope you will take serious and immediate steps to get rid of your laziness for good. Our good wishes and blessings are always with you.
Yours Lovingly
Sonal
