    Dear Shivam,

    Yesterday I called mother and she told me that your weight is increasing day by day. I really got worried about you as I know that you are very fond of junk food. Though they taste very good but they are very harmful for our body. I would suggest that you take more and more green vegetables and salad as it is very nutritious and will help you to loose your excessive fat.

    I am enclosing a CD with the letter so that you can see the harmful effects of eating junk food and also the exercises which will help you in loosing your weight.

    Yours loving brother

    Short Article on \’Judiciary vs. Media\’ (250 Words)

    The reach of the media, in the present times of 24-hour channels, is to almost every nook and corner of the world. Further, large number of people believe as correct that which appears in media, print or electronic. It is also necessary to always bear in mind that the judiciary is the last resort of redressal for resolution of disputes between State and the subject, and high and low.

    The confidence of the people in the institution of judiciary is necessary to be preserved at any cost. That is its main asset. Loss of confidence in institution of judiciary would be end of rule of law. Therefore, any act which has such tendency deserves to be firmly curbed. For rule of law and orderly society, a free responsible press and independent judiciary are both indispensable. Both have to be, therefore, protected.

    The judgments of courts are public documents and can be commented upon, analysed and criticized, but it has to be in dignified manner without attributing motives. Before placing before public, whether on print or electronic media, all concerned have to see whether any such criticism has crossed the limits as aforesaid and if it has, then resist every temptation to make it public.

    In every case, it would be no answer to plead that publication, publisher, editor or other concerned did not know or it was done in haste. Some mechanism may have to be devised to check the publication which has the tendency to undermine the institution of judiciary.

    Short Paragraph on \’Thermos Flask\’ (175 Words)

    The \’Thermos Flask\’ is a flask in which loss or gain of heat through conduction, convection and radiation has been reduced to a minimum. It is used for keeping a hot liquid hot and a cold liquid cold for a good length of time. The thermos flask consists of a double-walled glass flask placed on a spring within a metal casing, its mouth being closed by a cork stopper. The space between the walls is evacuated. The outer side of the inner wall and the inner side of the outer wall are silvered. The space between the vessel and the metal case is packed with felt or cork. The vaccum between the two walls of the glass bottle and the felt pad between the bottle and the metal case prevents the flow of heat due to conduction and convection. The silvered surface facing each other reduce radiation and absorption of heat to a minimum. Hence, heat can neither pass from the bottle to outside nor from outside into the bottle. Thus, a hot liquid placed in the bottle will remain hot and cold liquid cold for a sufficiently long time.

    (b) Supply of sufficient quantity of insulin, if necessary, to reduce the level of blood sugar to normal level and to rendor urine free of sugar.
    (c) Administration of antidiabetic drugs to stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin.
