Answers
I have read a number of books in English and Hindi. Most of them have been to my liking and I have spent many an hour reading them. But one which has pleased me most is Munshi Prem Chand’s ‘Godaan’.
‘Godaan’, is Prem Chand’s master-piece and ranks very high in the world of fiction. The book portrays the life of the poor villagers – Hari, Dhania and tohers. The author felt the problems of the villagers and placed them before us honestly. Closely connected with their lives is the picture of the town people – Meassrs Khanna and Mehta and ladies. Like Gobindi, Malti and others. They are a contrast to the lives of these simple villagers.
The poor work like slaves. They work the whole year round but cannot enjoy the fruit of their labour. They are superstitious. They are heavily in debt. They are robbed by the money-lenders and the rich zamindars. The town people, on the other hand, live on the labour of villagers. They enjoy life their feasts, picnics and merry-making.
This is not all. The town people have their own problems. Khanna and Gobindi do not lead a happy domestic life. Khanna is the owner of a sugar mill. Gobindi, his wife is a good lady but the couple is not happy. In spite of wealth, Mrs. Khanna is a specimen of ideal Indian lady.
She is disregarded by her husband; yet like a true and devoted1 wife, she considers it her duty to serve him. She knows what her husband is about but she has not a word of complaint. On the other hand, there is Malti. She is full of the spirit of the West. She has a love affair with Mr. Mehta. Even the wealthy Mr. Khanna falls in her trap.
The author is not against the education of women but he does not want ladies to be flirts. Like the great English philosopher Ruskin, he believes that woman’s right place is in the house — to be the mistress10 of the house and not the rival of men in the field of their activities.
Prem Chand is a master of characterisation. It is because of this that there is in the pages of this novel a masterly portrayal of characters. Hori, the hero of the novel, is not a mere individual; he is the very picture of the Indian villager. He faces hardships and sorrows with patience. His wife Dhania, his son Gobar and all others whom we come across in the novel are life-like...

I love reading books, they are indeed my ‘best friends’. It is a tedious task to choose a good book because thousands of books are published every year. I always take the suggestions made by my teachers and parents into account while choosing a book. Some days back, my uncle gave me one as a birthday gift as he knows my love for books. It is called The Mahabharata’ and has been written in English by Anand Sagar Chowdhry and published by Goodwill Publishing House, Delhi.
Essay on “My Favorite Book-The Mahabharata” In English
When I went through the first chapter, a fascinating story unfolded itself. King Satyavan married the daughter of a washerman and his son from the first wife took a pledge to remain a bachelor all his life. He came to be known as Bhishma Pitamah. The story was so eventful that it was very difficult to keep pace with the individual events.

In the middle of the epic stands The Gita that serves as a lighthouse. It sheds light on the theme of the whole story. The language is so poetic that one floats in its divine stream. Lord Krishna tells us to perform our duties without having any expectations about the rewards.
We should forget the sense of affection as it blurs our mind while performing our duties and meeting out justice. We should strive for excellence in whatever we do. This body is short-lived but the soul is eternal. It never dies. It keeps on changing bodies just as we keep on changing clothes. Fire cannot burn the soul nor can the sword cut it. When death is a must, why should we be afraid of it?
