Very interesting information given by Lighthouse keeper Ozman shaikh abou Lighthouse and its structure.

Lighthouse at pirambet 

A lighthouse is high towers, equipped with bright light and lenses that help and guide ships to port at night and Alert sailors and voyages about sandbars, reets and rocky coastlines. Each lighthouse features a larger lamp on top of the Tower. At night, it lights up when everything around is dark.  The lamp, which is installed in the lantern room with glass windows, works as a flashlight and allows boats and ships to sight land from far away at sea.

Mud Tracking 

Very amazing experience during mud tracking. We After visited lighthouse we went to mud tracking. We came to know our physical abilities. If I have compare mud tracking with my experience of dessert tracking, I said that dessert tracking is very easy. Mud tracking is difficult we need to self control,  focus and collaboration with each other. Such very yinteresting and learned lots of things like self focus, collaboration etc...

Thinking Activity : Views on Marriage

Hello Readers! 

Welcome to my blog. In this blog I have wrote people's opinions about Marriage. In the Novel 'Sense and Sensibility ' we can see the  marriage issue. Based on this novel we have task about that ask to  people about their opinion of Marriage. This task given by Dr. Hinama'am Zala professor of English department. 

Sense and Sensibility 

Sense and Sensibility, novel by Jane Austen that was published anonymously in three volumes in 1811 and that became a classic. The satirical, comic work offers a vivid depiction of 19th -century middle - class life as it follows the romantic relationship of Elinor and Marianne Dashwood .

Wiloughby literally sweeps Marianne Dashwood off her feet with their first acquaintance. He assists her home when Marianne falls and twists her ankle. In willoughby, Marianne discovers a man she admires for his dash. She comments"that is what a young man ought to be" in describing Wiloughby to others. In her naive fashion, Marianne does not recognize that a man of Wiloughby 's cut Must marry for money for loves his horses, society, and women. He is a landed gentleman living beyond his means. His behavior is a statement to the hereditary privileges granted men of his social class.

It's how we make it to be. In India, marriage is just for the sake of sex and sacrifice and many other things. Reasons behind marrying are forceful, girl marries as to get backup economically and socially. We marry for sex, money, social status etc. When it comes to marriage, society says that a man should be earning good. When girl's family should also think about their girl's independence economically. Then money will not become forceful reason behind marriage. We can say becoming 18 or 21 of age is not the criteria of marrying. Our perspective towards marriage is not individual but here family marries to another family that is the main problem. If I don't like my fiance after engagement then I should think about my family's status and their feelings before saying no.One must marry when one wants to get married. 

In our culture we say "Chhokri jova joiye Che" ,it's must be an object for showcasing. We don't meet but see in arrange marriage. Family sees boy's income and status, on this base the marriage is confirmed. And one cannot even get a chance to have time with his/her for knowing. Logic is simple, without knowing someone how can you marry, and yes knowing someone can not make you to give a decision on marriage. We come into contact with many people, then it will become impossible to accept that person whom we even don't know or with whom we have not shared our feeling before. Marriage is beautiful journey when one wishes to get in..

It's good thing that you have life partner so you can share anything with him about anything and everything but just we have Gujarati kehvat ke hath ni panch anglio sarkhi nathi hoti this thing totally realt with marriage so sometimes you have different opinions and thoughts you both have different states of mind your upbringing and education are different so sometime it's problem also that they have sorry we both have some difficulty to explain or know each other we can't digest each others opinions right but it's just minor things right so it's my duty to tell my friend that every person are not like anybody right every person is different so we can't judge him or her on any particular reason or basis right so every one has his ways to make relationship successful and lots I have no idea about love marriage but I can tell you one thing ither it's love or arrange but still it's marriage right so you have to give some efforts to make it successful but every coin has two sides it depends on us that which side we want to See.

In our society it's big nonsense that marriage has to be in our cast in our religion right but it is workable or it is worth full ❓l think no it's absolutely wrong if the two who are in this marriage are not happy how can they make each other happy and how they can make their families happy right. But we all following this thing that boy and girl has to be in for same cast that our social status can't be ruined by this thing our boy or girl can not get married in other cast but in this situation boy can get through easily but girl can't it's about our so cold purushpradhan desh so partaliaty we can find in this field also .and in my opinion money and social status and socity are made by us right. we are not politicians that they can not give us vote for next election what we gonna do if they can not give us votes we are common people right we have some issues after this thing happened but we can solve it right.

Marriage is just contract. If you read any county civil law you might understand that It is just formality to give permission to them those who are want to live together. Otherwise we don't required any formality. What we doing in marriage life?. Simple answer is that caring, responsibility, value, know each other etc. We can do all this things without marriage even many countries like England, Netherlands, France mostly people are interested to live in relationship without marriage. Even in India Many urban area , people are also going in to live in relationship Culture. So marriage is just contract and ritual. We just required attention, love and care in our life.

Ammmmm it depending on their mrg life.

So overall my Point of u marriage is most enjoyable Ocassion of entire life.

Nowadays when many norms and beliefs regarding marriage system are changing rapidly. As far as my opinion regarding marriage system is concerned, I am neither that staunch believer of this system nor believe in marrying only for the sake of other or for the society, so to speak. To marry someone isn't a wrong thing. But to marry someone only for the sake for marrying seems problemetic to me. If you find someone who understand you or trust you, there is no doubt in marrying that person. Along with it I guess, mutal understanding means a lot while you decide to marry someone. Though this marriage system is never problmetic to me, rigidity about marriage is problmetic. If someone don't want to marry, let them be the way he/she want instead of pressurising them to marry only for the sake of society.

Ok... I guess if two persons are truly love each other then there will be no reason to leave their partner for the sake of this so called status. But no one can neglect that it is the reality of our society. Lots of problmes are happing in our society for this so called  concept of status. And if someone have problme in their relation due to this I think there is some kind of lacking in their relation. If they truly understand each other, there isn't any chance for it.

લગ્ન વિશે ના મારા મત જાણવું તો...લગ્ન એ દરેક સમાજ ની મૂળભૂત જરૂરિયાત છે .દરેક વ્યક્તિ લગ્ન કરીને પોતાનો વંશ ચલાવે છે.જોકે પહેલા ના સમય કરતાં આજે લગ્નનું સ્વરૂપ બદલાયું છે
પહેલા ના સમય માં માટે પિતા દ્વારા લગ્ન કરતા અને આજે સોશીયલ મીડિયા અને બીજા અનેક કારણો ને લીધે લવ merrag નું પ્રમાણ વધતું જાય છે.જોકે લવ મેરેજ કે arange મેરેજ કરવા એ મહત્વનું નથી પણ પણ બે વ્યક્તિ એક બીજા ને સમજે and જીવન ભર સાથ આપે એ જરૂરી છે.મારા મતે દરેક વ્યક્તિ ને લગ્ન કરવા જ જોઈએ .
આધુનિક યુગ માં સ્ત્રીઓ માં શિક્ષણ નું પ્રમાણ વધતું જાય છે એટલે મોટી ઉંમરે લગ્ન કરે છે પણ લગ્ન તો બે આત્મા નું જોડાણ છે અને ભાવો ભાવ નું બંધ ન છે.
આપડા શાસ્ત્ર માં પણ લગ્ન ને પવિત્ર સંસ્કાર માનવામાં આવે છે.

આજ ના યુગ માં સૌથી મોટી સમસ્યા એ જ છે કે છોકરો ચોકરી એક બીજા ને પ્રેમ તો કરે છે પણ પછી સમાજ શુ  કેશે અને ઘરના બધા માણસ. કયાય એવું વિચારીને કોઈ પણ એક ને છોડી દે છે અને સંબંધ પૂરો કરી નાખે છે.
કારણ ગમે તે હોય પણ આ બધા માં સૌથી વધારે તકલીફ એક છોકરી ને જ પડતી હોય છે.
સમાજ ના ડર થી છોકરો જીયારે એક છોકરી ને છોડી દે છે ત્યારે એની આખી જિંદગી બગડે છે.આવું જ હોય અને અને સમાજ નું જ વિચારવાનું હોય તો છોકરી નો હાથ પકડતા પેલા આ બધી વિચાર કરી લેવો જોઈએ.
અત્યારે સોશીયલ મીડિયા ના યુગ મા મોટા ભાગે છોકરો ને છોકરી લગ્ન માટે એક બીજા સાથે સંબંધ માં તો આવે છે પણ પછી છોકરો સમાજ કે પરિવાર ની બીક થી છોકરી ને છોડી દેતો હોય છે
મારા મત મુજબ સમાજ લવ મેરાગે ને સ્વીકારવું પડશે અને જે છોકરા આવી ભૂલ કરે છે અમને સજા મળવી જોઈએ.
                     ~Jayshreeba Gohil 




As per my view that marriage is one type of wedlock or system which made union or create holy relationship. After jont  through marriage system both characters remain to ready for fulfill desire, sacrifice, understood their habit or life.

I think arrange marriage is good because our parents have experience or they passed from that way so they never bad think about their children so they choose that types character for their children which may be appropriate into future for us.


Sometime in the love marriage people don't understand properly about love because there are minor differences between love and physical attraction so at the age of young normally  they choose character through physical attraction but not by love. After love marriage their completed ambition, they hate eachother because they don't understand what is love.
                          ~Lalji Baraiya 




*What is Marriage?*

According to me Marriage is the process by which two people make their relationship public, official, and permannent* (T&C apply)😅 because every marriage brings challenges, often profound ones.


*One should get married or not?*

As per my understanding you should only get married if you are absolutely sure that you can take responsibility for your own happiness as well as your partner's...

*How to decide who deserves you?*


one can be accepted as your better half only if your inner is craving for him/her and the same intense feeling is needed by his/her side too.
                                    ~Hina Chauhan



ભારતીય સંસ્કૃતિમાં લગ્ન એક સંસ્કાર માનવામાં આવે છે. જે દરેક વ્યક્તિએ તેમાંથી પસાર થવાનું હોય છે.
મારા મતે લગ્ન એટલે એક પવિત્ર સબંધ કે જેમાં મીઠાસ અને પ્રેમ, દુઃખ અને નવા અનુભવ તેમજ અનુકૂલન સાધવાની  વાત હોય છે. લગ્નજીવનમાં એક એવી વાત છે જે બંને વ્યક્તિએ સાથે રહીને હળીમળીને પુરી કરવાની જવાબદારી છે. દરેક બાબતમાં બે વાત રહેલ હોય છે, સુખ અને દુઃખ. પતી પત્નીએ બને પરિસ્થિતિમાં સાથ અને સહયોગ આપવો જોઈએ.

બધા કેહતા હોય છે કે લગ્ન પછી હેરાન થઈ ગયા... એ બાબત એક પણ ટકા સાચી નથી કેમકે એવા વ્યક્તિ હકીકતમાં સાચા અર્થમાં જવાબદારી સમજી શકતા નથી અથવા તો જવાબદારી ઉપાડવાની  ક્ષમતા નથી હોતી.

*લગ્ન એટલે મોજથી ખાવા માટે નો લાડવો પણ કેમ ખાવો તે પોતાની પર જ આધાર રાખે બીજા ના અનુભવ પર નહીં ...*
                    ~Virbhadrasinh M. Jadeja

~Vaidehi Ma'am Haryani 

  I have got many opinions of peoples about the marriage and marriage system and also many issues about marriage.

Mary Shelley 

Mary Shelley was widely known as a novelist. She was daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, she met the young poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. In 1812 and eloped with him to France in July 1814. The couple were married in 1816, after Shelley's first wife had committed suicide. After her husband's death in 1822, she returned to England and devoted herself to publicizing Shelley's writings and to educating their only surviving child, Percy Florence shelley. 

Mary Shelley's best-known book is Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, a text that is part Gothic novel and part philosophical novel; it is also often considered an early example of science fiction. It narrates the dreadful consequences that arise after a scientist has artificially created a human being. 

Two main Characters of the Novel 

1 Victor Frankenstein 

He is the main character, a man driven by ambition and scientific curiosity. His quest for absolute knowledge and power will eventually end in his own ruin. 

2. Monster 

The work of Frankenstein's hands, the creature is his double, his persecutor, and his victim. The lives of him and his creator are inextricably entwined. 

Let's discuss the character of Victor Frankenstein. 

Victor Frankenstein 

Victor Frankenstein's life story is at the heart of Frankenstein. A young Swiss boy, he grows up in Geneva reading the works of the ancient and outdated alchemists, a background that serves him ill when he attends university at Ingolstadt. There he learns about modern science and, within a few years, masters all that his professors have to teach him. He becomes fascinated with the "secret of life," discovers it, and brings a hideous monster to life. The monster proceeds to kill Victor's youngest brother, best friend, and wife, he also indirectly causes the death of two innocents, including Victor's father. Thigh torn by remorse, shame, and guilt, Victor refuses to admit to anyone the horror of what he has created, even as he sees the ramifications of his creative act spiraling out of control. 

Victor changes over the course of the novel from an innocent youth fascinated by the prospects of science into a disillusioned, guilt-ridden man determined to destroy the fruits of his arrogant scientific endeavour. Whether as a result of his desire to attain the godlike power of creating new life or his avoidance of the public arenas in which science is usually conducted. Victor is doomed by a lack of humanness. He cuts himself off from the world and eventually commits himself entirely to an animalistic obsession with revenging himself upon the monster. 

Victor relates his story to Robert Walton and then dies. With its multiple narrators and, hence, multiple perspectives, the novel leaves the reader with contrasting interpretations of Victor : classic mad scientist transgressing all boundaries without concern, or brave adventure into unknown scientific lands. Not to be held responsible for the consequences of his exploration. 

Victor's ambition :

" For when I would account to myself for the birth of that passion, which afterwards ruled my destiny, I find it arise, like a mountain river, from ignoble and almost forgotten sources; but swelling as it proceeded, it became the first torrent which, in its course, has swept away all my hopes and joys."

Victor speaks this quote as he reflects on his obsessive fascination with artificially creating life. The poetic style reveals Victor's education and eloquence, but the quote also reveals his fundamental lack of self-awareness and moral responsibility. He describes his ambition as an external force beyond his control by comparing it to raging river sweeping away everything in its path. His ambition might have been a powerful desire, but it was still an internal feeling that he could have tried to control rather than allowing it to direct his actions without considering consequences. 

"So much has been done, exclaimed the soul of Victor, more, far more, will I achieve : treading in the steps already marked, I will pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation. "

This quotation shows how profound Victor's ambitions are. As he learns about the progress that contemporary science has made, his first reaction is to fantasize about how much further he could go. This reaction shows his lack of humility and his arrogance. Rather than pausing to consider how impressive the discoveries of others have been, Victor immediately focuses on outgoing them. His drive to surpass the accomplishments of others may be part of why he fixates on the bold and reckless goal of artificially creating life. 

Dr. Vasi and Victor Frankenstein 

Dr. Vasi was one of the characters in the Indian hindi cinema 'Robot'. Vaseegaran creates a sophisticated Android Robot. When Victor creates human beings. Monster and Chitti are both scientific experiments. Both feel emotion. Both became violent. But at the end of the movie Vaseegara controlled his scientific creature. But in the novel Frankenstein Monster was rejected by his creator. Victor does not accept his creation because of his ugly look. When Monster becomes violent victore doesn't control his creation. So compared to Dr vasi Victor is not a good scientist. Because he doesn't accept his creation. If we created anything we would be able to accept it in any situation. 

Victor is a modern scientist unleashed upon an unsuspecting Society. Not fully aware of the consequences of his creating a new race of humans, he spends his entire life trying to destroy the same creation. Victor is also the unbridled ego who must satisfy his urge to know all and use that learning to create a new race of man. His excesses ultimately destroy him. Victor represents the id, the part of the psyche that is governed by the instinctive impulses of sex or aggression.

Classification of Literary Theories 

It is possible to classify literary theories on the basis of what aspect of literary composition is central to them. Accordingly, we have theory of :

1. Language, namely, alamkara (principle of figurativeness) and Vakrokti (principle of deviation) 
2. Style and compositional value, namely, guna/dosa (excellence, faults). Riti (mode of expression) and Acuity(propriety).
3. Verbal symbolism, namely, dhavni 
4. Aesthetic experience namely, rasa 
5. Narrative, namely, mahakavya, as inferable from Bhoja's Sringara Prakasa and categories of panini's grammar. 
6. Discourse analysis ,namely, yuktis. For example Kautilya's thirty -two units of composition in Arthasastra. It is an analysis of the thought structure of a composition, constitution of a text in terms of nature of proportions. Indian theorists do not explicitly discuss this. But one can consolidate ideas available in different sources. 
7. Comprehensive analysis as constructed in kavyamimamsa. Rajasekhara has proposed a composite model based on the insights of different theories.

Rasa Theory 

Rasa, is an ancient concept of aesthetics discussed in the text, the Natyasastra, which dates to approximately the 4th or 5th century. "Sastra" in Hindu philosophy refers to the first text or treatise written on any subject ; the person generally credited for the Natyasastra is the  legendary Bharata Muni. Many philosophers have contributed ideas to the theories in aesthetics including Dandin, Bhatta Lollata, Sanuka, and Bhatta Nayaka. The ideas of all these philosophers have been passed down through the writing of the philosopher Abhinavagupta. 

The rasa theory originates with Bharata in Natyasastra. It claims that the object or meaning that is sought to be conveyed in literary compositions is in the nature of an emotional effect of diverse human experience on man's mind and heart. It is possible, Bharata demonstrates, to enumerate the whole range of emotions, or states of being born of experience, and to analyse the structure of those emotions in terms of cause, physical correlate and their effect on man's being. The theory thus becomes in effect a theory of literary experience which is strongly rooted in the empirical human reality. 

Bharata, the first announcer of the theory ,gives the most comprehensive analysis of its sources, nature and its Categories. Subsequently, the theory found major commentators in Dhanika Dhananjaya who re-examined Bharata's typology of drama and added to it a typology of Uparupakas, subplays, plays within plays, and one - act plays. It is Abhinavagupta, however, who enriched the theory by elucidating its philosophic foundations and by analysing in depth the aesthetic dimension of the theory in terms of the nature, cognition and effect of literary experience. 

The Rasa theory has been accepted as the core literary theory by all major politicians both before and after Abhinavagupta. In particular, the discussion and analysis by Viswanatha and Pt. Jagannatha have contributed towards a more subtle understanding of this theory. 

Nine Rasa :

Rasa is Sanskrit and has many translations in English, the main ones being : essence, juice, nectar, taste, or sap. Rasa is in everything, or I should say.. everything has Rasa. Though some things have a higher vibrational essence, others lower, some even dead. Rasa is the invisible substance that gives life meaning. Rasa is also described as the state of ecstasy in the union with divine. 

In Tantra these 9 Rasas are the essence of all of our emotions; 

1 Love / Sringara

It is the ultimate Rasa. The king or queen emotion that heals anything. It frees the ego and connects us to devotion. When you appreciate beauty it connects you to the source of love. It is the creative play between Shiva and Shakti, sun and moon, yin and yang. The purpose of the universe is to experience this divine love. 

This love exists in everything. It is within each one of us and radiates out to the cosmos. 

2. Joj/Hasya 

This Rasa connects you to your humor, laughter, happiness and contentment. It is the extension of what you feel within love. 

3. Wonder / Adhuta 

Curiosity, Mystery, Awe. When you become fascinated with the idea of life. It is your playfulness and innocence. You enter into complete appreciation and become an explorer or adventure. It is magic! 

]4. Courage / Vira 

Bravery, Confidence, Pride. When you call upon your the warrior that lives inside you. It is strong and vibrant. 

5. Peace / Shanta 

Deep calmness and relaxation. When you become still and quiet. In peace you become so full that you are empty. You will not find peace anywhere but within. 

6. Sadness / Karuna

When you can experience sadness and connect it back to the cosmos, you then experience compassion. Compassion is what connects us all. Through compassion we can relate deeply to each other. When one's sadness is truly experienced around a situation it can give a sense of completion. Grieving is a key aspect in healing. 

7. Anger/Raudra
