A diary is a record of one’s daily experiences and thoughts. It is a book in which one can write down the experiences one has each day. It is a private and personal record of one’s innermost feelings.
It is a very good habit to keep a diary. It can serve as a record of the important and memorable moments of one’s life. Through this record, one can revive those moments whenever one likes.
A diary, being very private and personal, is informal in its tone and style. It can be written in any form one likes. The only important thing is to put in the day and date when a particular entry has been made in the diary. Every entry is usually made on a new page.
A SPECIMEN OF A DIARY ENTRY
While looking through your old books, you come across an old photograph of one of your great-granduncles. Make a diary entry of the thoughts and memories this photograph brings to your mind.
Ans.—
| Day : Tuesday Time: 8.00 p.m.
Date : 16 October 20__ My Great-granduncle’s Photograph Today, while looking through some old books, I came across an old photograph of one of my great-granduncles, an uncle of my grandfather. He had a great liking for my grandfather and often visited us to meet him. Whenever he came, he would bring candies for me. I was then around four years old and would start looking into his bag as soon as he came. The memory of his broad smiling face at once came to my mind when I looked at his photograph. May his soul rest in peace !

Ans.—
| Day : Monday
Date : 18 September 20__ Time: 7.30 p.m. A Quarrel with My Sister This morning, I had a quarrel with my younger sister. She wanted to watch a cartoon film on the TV while I wanted to see my favourite serial ‘CID’. When she tried to snatch the remote from me, I pushed her back and she fell down. She began to cry and left the room. I continued watching my favourite serial and forgot all about her. But now I feel repentant over all that. It was really bad on my part to have done all that. She is younger to me and I should have let her have her way.

Ans.—
| Day : Thursday
Date : 08 January 20__ Time: 8.30 p.m. Buying Vegetables from the Market
This morning, my mother asked me to bring some vegetables from the market. I took my bicycle and went to the vegetable market. There are a large number of shops in this market. All the shops were crowded with men and women. The shopkeepers were crying in their hoarse voices to attract customers. Some ladies were haggling with the vegetable sellers. It is a narrow market and so there was a good deal of jostling. I went from shop to shop and compared the rates. I bought potatoes, peas and okras. I loaded these things on my bicycle and came back home. My mother praised me for having made a good purchase.

Last night, it was terribly hot. To make it worse, there was no electricity. After the day’s hard work, I was feeling very tired. I wanted to lie down and sleep. But sleep was simply impossible in such a sultry weather. I tried to fan myself with a piece of cardboard. But it gave me no relief. And then there were those big mosquitoes. They bit me all over my face, hands and feet. I would jump out of my bed and move restlessly. It continued all through the night. I could hardly have a wink of sleep the whole night. By about six in the morning, the electricity came and with it came a sigh of relief.

He asked me to take the piece and pay later. Just then, the salesman came there with a purse in his hand. He had found it under the chair where I was sitting. It was my purse ! I took it from the salesman and thanked him. I made the payment to the manager and came back home.

Last Sunday on 25th December, I thought of celebrating Christmas with my uncle and aunt. I went to Delhi where my uncle lives. It was quite late when I reached there. To my dismay, I found the house locked. The neighbours said that my uncle and aunt had gone to attend some marriage. I didn’t know where to go. So I started walking the streets. It was getting colder and colder. Luckily, I found shelter in a tea shop. It was now four in the morning. I again started walking the streets. Suddenly, a car came up and stopped by my side. The door opened and a man came out. He was my uncle ! I greeted him with tears in my eyes.

Date : 25 March 20_ _ Time: 6.00 p.m. Last Monday, I had to go to my village, Badhowal. I travelled by a bus. Inside the bus it was all crowded. The bus was full to its capacity and some of the passengers were standing in the aisle also. Many passengers climbed on to the roof of the bus. I, too, was one of them. The bus started slowly. Soon it caught speed. Strong currents of air began to beat against our faces. It became hard to keep our eyes open. Particles of dust blew into them and it gave much pain. Every now and then, we had to bend down to save ourselves from the overhanging branches of trees. We got terrible jerks whenever the bus moved a little to the right or left. I heaved a sigh of relief when the bus reached the stop of our village.

You feel that today’s tech-savvy environment is a necessary evil. You cannot do without it, even think of doing without it. It has created unending problems for today’s generation. Write a diary entry in 100-120 words, expressing your views about it.
Ans.—
| Day : Friday
Date : 18 November 20_ _ Time: 9.00 p.m. Thoughts of the Day The last few decades have seen an immense rise in all sorts of technological inventions, including cell phones, computers, laptops, mobiles, tablets, and what not. It goes without saying that technology has made our lives easier in several ways. But technology has its dark side also. It has made our lives very sedentary and subjected us to several health problems like obesity. The WHO has categorised cell phone as a cancer-causing agent. The electromagnetic exposure from cell phones is correlated with such problems as headaches and brain tumours. Our continuous exposure to low-level lights from computers and laptops, and obsession with computer games and the latest softwares has become a clear indication of psychological disorder. Modern technology has had a very adverse effect on our social and interpersonal communication also. The good times of personal relationships and intimacy seem to have gone now. Even relations have become technical.
