The poem describes an incident where the speaker fell in class while daydreaming. The teacher used the opportunity to teach about gravity, noting that while the speaker demonstrated the law of gravity, they did so lightly rather than seriously. Though the other children laughed, the speaker gained applause returning to their seat. The speaker now reflects on taking the lesson to heart by paying attention in class rather than letting their mind wander.Newtons law

A student was not paying attention in science class and could not explain Newton's laws of gravity and mass when asked by the teacher. The student stood before the class trembling with fear, began to explain gravity but then fainted. While the other students laughed, the teacher appreciated the demonstration of Newton's laws of gravity, though realized the student had fainted from fear of not knowing the material rather than intentionally demonstrating it. The student realized their carelessness in class caused this incident and decided to pay better attention going forward.Women protection and Empowerment

Women in Pakistan face discrimination and violence which limits their empowerment. Several laws have been passed to protect women and promote their rights, such as restricting child marriage, criminalizing domestic violence, and establishing quotas to increase women's political participation. However, more work still needs to be done to fully implement these laws and change societal attitudes that enable the abuse and oppression of women.Making of a Scientist (Part -2)

Richard Feynman recounts how his early interest in science began through playing with bathroom tiles with his father. His father would set up the tiles vertically like dominoes for Feynman to knock down as a baby in his highchair. Over time, Feynman would help his father set up more complicated tile patterns. When his mother saw this, she told his father to let Feynman place the tiles however he wanted rather than following a set pattern. The author of the piece being summarized is Richard Feynman recounting his early childhood experiences that sparked his interest in science."Newton's Law" by Nandita Das
