Question

autobiography of river

Answer 1

I am a river and I am writing my autobiography. I am the river Ganges, I was born from Gomukh. It is in the lap of the Himalayas. I was born thousands of years ago. I am very restless from my birth. By current is very strong in my upper course. Here I leap from one rock to another. I have been flowing through the hills, valleys and planes from the date of my birth.

Naturally there are different speeds in the course of my journey. In the middle it becomes slower and in the plains it is very slow. Here I am very wide. Here I pass through the paddy fields, forests and thickly populated inhabitations. People of different creed and culture have built their cities and towns on the bank of me. Many towns of pilgrimage have also been built on my bank. I am an object of worship to the Hindus. They bath in my sacred water and use it in different occasions. Even the sanctity offer to the altars by sprinkling my water. I am myself a deity to thousands of people of the country.

Boats, Steamers and Ships ply along on my surfaced. My water is used for drinking and other purpose. In spite of that they do not take care of me. They throw polluted articles. During the rainy seasons my surface rises and I overflew the banks causing flood. People suffer much. But I cannot actually be responsible for this. I am the perennial life line of India. I have sustained the Indian civilizations. Naturally precautions should be taken to purify my water. For this reason Ganga Action Plan was also initiated in 1984. But all the attempts were in vain.

I am a very old river. I will flow on forever. Like the cloud, I change but I cannot die.

Answer 2

Autobiography of river

I am a river. I like to give you an account of my life. You may laugh to think what is the value of the autobiography of a river. You may laugh if you like. Men write their autobiographies. They have importance in their own way. I have importance in my own way.


My birth:-

I was born long ago in an obscure place in a mountain. Several very small streams of water joined together to form one bigger stream. That is how I was born. I am that bigger stream. I am restless from my birth. I cannot stay at one place. So I flow down the mountain. I leap from one rock to another


My career in the upper plains

Here I begin to widen in my course. People begin to make use of my water. Here it is as pure as anything. In my upper course, people have built up towns of pilgrimage. They have built temples on my banks. Hundreds of people bathe in my sacred water

My career in the lower plains

I have said before that I am very restless. I am constantly on the move downwards. Leaving the upper plains behind I flow down through the lower plain
