Question

About the whole summary about the prose water the elixir of life

Answer 1

In the essay ‘Water – The Elixir if Life’ Sir C V Raman praises the importance of water, which is the life giving force to all. The scientist says that man attempted to seek an imaginary elixir of life, the divine Amrita, to confer him immortality. But it ended in vain. According to him, water is the true elixir of life. One day he stood on the line that separated the Libyan Desert from the valley of Nile in Egypt. On one side he could see the Libyan Desert where there is no existence of life. It is a desert because of the shortage of water. On the other side he could see the fertile areas crowded with people. This remarkable difference is brought out by the NileRiver from its source, till it flows down in to theMediterranean Sea. The Nile River makes lands fertile and life happy and this magic is possible because of the availability of water.
