Rima is a girl of HSC 1st year at a renowned college. In the month of February, she was eagerly waiting to join a Book Fair, but her parents interrupted her. They were concerned about her studies, especially with her exams approaching soon. Her mother said, "Rima, you should focus on your studies right now. The Book Fair will be crowded, and you might lose precious time."

Rima felt disappointed but understood their concerns. However, her love for books was too strong to ignore. She couldn't stop thinking about all the new books she might miss out on. She had been looking forward to this fair for months, and the thought of not going made her restless.

That evening, Rima sat down with her parents and expressed her feelings. "I understand why you're worried, but the Book Fair is something I look forward to all year. It inspires me and helps me relax. I'll make sure to manage my time wisely."

Her father, noticing how passionate she was, suggested a compromise. "How about this, Rima? If you finish your study goals for the week, you can go to the fair for a few hours. That way, you get to enjoy the fair without falling behind in your studies."

Rima agreed to the deal, feeling relieved. She worked diligently throughout the week, sticking to her study schedule. When the weekend arrived, she had met her targets, and her parents allowed her to go to the Book Fair.

At the fair, Rima felt a surge of excitement as she wandered through the stalls filled with books. She picked up novels, poetry collections, and even some study guides that would help her with her exams. She met a few authors, attended a book reading, and even ran into some of her friends.

When she returned home, her parents noticed the spark in her eyes and the renewed energy she had. They realized that allowing Rima to balance her studies with her passion for reading had been the right decision. She was not only more focused on her studies but also happier.

In the end, Rima learned that with proper time management, she could pursue her passions without compromising her responsibilities. The Book Fair had not only satisfied her love for reading but also taught her an important lesson in balance and discipline.

We must remember that love begins at home and we must also remember that future of humanity passes through the family.”Mother Teresa's work has been recognised throughout the world and she has received a number of awards.
