NAGAMANDALA CHARACTER SKETCH

RANI’s Character:

Rani is the main woman character of the play, if not the heroine of the play. She bears all the tyrannies, yet she does not give up her values of life. She is the only child of her parents and gets their love in full measure. As happens with most of the Indian girls, her fond father finds a match for his daughter and marries her to Appanna. An Indian father generally thinks that a man is a good match for his daughter if he has means to provide wherewithal to his daughter. These fathers never bother about the character of the men with whom their daughters have to pass their lives. Many men have turned out to be libertines and adulterers, but their richness overshadows all other considerations. Rani is married to such a rich man who is called Appanna and lives a life of any dejected Indian woman.

 

Appanna regularly visits a concubine. He ignores Rani and becomes a jailor to his wife. From day one he locks her in his house with the command that he would come to the house only for his lunch which she would prepare punctually and regularly and would not ask any questions. Rani is shocked but accepts his orders as a typical Indian housewife. She becomes a maid servant in her own house. She sweeps, mops the floor, scrubs the  utensils, cooks food, and obeys Appanna’s commands for a square meal.

 

Isolation and incarceration lead Rani to hallucinate. See see dreams. In her intuitive feat, she tells Kurudavva that her husband speaks to her only in words such as ‘do this’, ‘do that’, and ‘serve the food’. As she is locked in the house, she is not able to meet anybody. Narrating her tale of woe she tells Kurudavva, “Apart from him, you are the first person I have seen since coming here. I’m bored to death. There is no one to talk to…” To add to her woes, she is left alone during nights. She is timid as young girls generally are. “I am so frightened at night. I can’t sleep a wink. At home, I sleep between my father and mother. ” We see Indianness as most Indian children remain very close to parents until their marriage.

 

Inspite of this persecution, she does not want any harm to reach Appanna. Kurudavva gives her some roots which can get her the love of Appanna. The small piece she gives Appanna makes him sick. Therefore, she does not give the bigger piece to him. Kurudavva says with confidence that it will certainly bring him back to her: “Go in. Start grinding it. Make a tasty curry. Mix the paste in it. Let him taste a spoonful and he will be your slave. ” But Rani does not take any risk even to get the love of her husband.

 

Rani is an example of Indian wives who endure the tyrannies inflicted by their husbands, yet serve them with all sincerity. Appanna keeps her as a slave, yet he is her dear husband and has to be kept out of the harm’s way. The marriage rites make the husband master of the woman and the wife a poor slave. This is evident in Rani’s life also Rani expects nothing from Appanna, yet she is ready to do anything for him. Even when she comes to commit a mistake, she holds herself guilty and ever remains repentant for the lapse. It will not be amiss to say that an Indian or rather an Indian wife is masochistic, taking pleasure in being tormented by the husband. She never revolts even in her thought. She suffers at the hands of Appanna but does not take any risk to gain the love of her husband. Her character typifies an Indian wife who deliberately accepts sufferings as misfortune.

Appana's Character:

‘Appana’ literally means “any man” and points to the metaphor of man in general, his chauvinistic stance and towering dominance to the extent of suppressing a woman’s individuality. Rani Endeavour’s to discover her individuality by seeking refuge in dreams, fairy tales and fantasies to escape the sordid reality of her existence. At an age where the typical fantasy would be a sultan or Prince coming on Horseback, Rani’s flight of the imagination transports her to a seventh heaven where her parents wait for her.

 

Critics show her body as a site of “confinement, violence, regulation and communication of the victimized gender – self”. And they also point out how she later uses the same body to rebel, to subvert and to negotiate her space in society. Appana considers her as an adulterous woman whereas he himself has an illicit relationship with a concubine. He and his hypocritical society questions Rani’s chastity and side. The male chauvinism ignores the validity of Appana’s principles.

Similarity between Æsop's Tale and The Spider and the Fly - ENGLISH Project: ICSE CBSE ISC

 

Similarity between Æsop's Tale and The Spider and the Fly

An invitation prompted by selfishness is not to be accepted. It is the moral that we receive from both The Æsop'S Tale for Children’s The Wolf & the Goat and The Spider and The Fly by Mary Botham Howitt. There is a close similarity between both of these two (one is a fable another being a didactic poem). Let us first discuss both of them and see their similarity.

A hungry Wolf spied a Goat browsing at the top of a steep cliff where he could not possibly get at her.

"That is a very dangerous place for you," he called out, pretending to be very anxious about the Goat's safety. "What if you should fall! Please listen to me and come down! Here you can get all you want of the finest, tenderest grass in the country."

The Goat looked over the edge of the cliff.

"How very, very anxious you are about me," she said, "and how generous you are with your grass! But I know you! It's your own appetite you are thinking of, not mine!"

The goat is not, however, tricked by the sly wolf.

In the poem, the spider tries to convince the fly to step into his home. He tries to entice her with the promise of showing her some pretty things in his home. He offers her a comfortable bed. He tries to deceive her by faking concern for the fly’s weariness. He tries to befriend the fly by cordially welcoming her to his pantry. However, the fly is smart enough not to fall into his trap. She repeatedly dismisses him by telling him that she is aware of what happens to the victims that enter his trap.

 

The spider then attempts to please her vanity by calling her wings beautiful and her eyes bright and shiny. He flatters the fly to trick her. He even suggests the fly look at her beauty in his home. The fly is flattered by his deceiving gest-complimented plans on revisiting the spider. And when they fly back to the spider, he instantly catches her. The poem ends with a small message to all the children. The poet cautions the children against flattery by evil counselors. She asks them to take a lesson from the fly’s foolishness resulting in her tragic end and warns them not to be deceived by false flattery.

 

The predominant tone of the poem is one of flattery and deception. This poem tells the story of a cunning spider who entices a little fly with his tricky words to fall into his trap. This fable depicts a very prominent and common folly of human beings- the flaw of being easily convinced by false flattery. In this poem, the cunning spider employs several ways to allure the fly into his home. He cordially invites the fly into his ‘parlor’ to show her pretty things and offers her a comfortable bed and good food to eat. Failing to tempt the fly with all these, the spider uses the strongest weapon he has that is sure to take her down. He indulges in the fake flattery of the fly. The traps the naive fly through the seduction of flattery. No matter how dedicated the fly was about not entering the spider’s evil web, she succumbed in the end; the spider artfully deceives her into stepping into his home.

The poem begins with the speaker describing the first efforts of a spider to lure a fly into his dark and evil home. On his first attempt, the spider tells the fly that his “parlor” is lovely. It is a place anyone would want to be and it is open for the fly to visit. She declines and then declines three more times as the spider tries other tactics to lure her in. The fly repeatedly states that she does not intend to see this home as she has heard the tales of the victims subjected to his evilness and cruelty.

 

However, as a perfect predator with a lot of experience, the spider is sure that the fly will melt at his false praises. He adds on the enticing detail that it is the “prettiest little parlor.” The spider is trying to play down the fear the fly should feel about his lair. It is “little” and pretty—not at all foreboding. From the first line, it is easy to tell that the spider has ulterior motives. A reader will be very aware that nothing good will happen to the fly if she agrees. In order to reach the spider’s home, one must go up a “winding stair.” Once there, there are curious things to be seen. These two lines make the lair seem somewhat magical, and much more tempting. The poet warns people not to pay heed to false flattery and enticements and learn from the fly’s mistake. The poem’s tone of falsehood, deception, and meanness represents the miseries of the beings that are silly enough to fall for that evilness.

 

Both these teach us to be prudent against any flattery and enticement.

Nurture nature and Nature will nurture, English Project, ICSE, ISC, CBSE, English Essay

 

Nurture nature and Nature will nurture you

Nature relates to our INNATE HUMAN QUALITY and THE WORLD ENVIRONMENT as well.

Nature holds forth the belief that hereditary traits found in our genes make us who we are. It’s, believable but not very convincing when we consider the theory of nurture. Human beings learn new things every day, as soon as we come in to the world, our learning process begins. As a new-born baby, we slowly learn and adapt in order to survive in a new environment which is quite unlike that of our mother’s wombs, our first environment in which we first grew up from a foetus state, adapted to and developed in. The home environment parents and the siblings play a huge role in determining personality. Influences from outside the family are also very important to the development of one’s personality. But everything starts at home.

Nature has given us many things in life and one of them is talents. Either we are born as the only individual in our family or it is in our genes. Furthermore, nature plays a vital role in deciding the future of a child. Many singers in this era are born with beautiful voices. They did not need any nurturing. Their talent took them to heights they couldn’t even imagine.

For instance, some of the great legends like Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Kishor Kumar had soulful voices. Also, they were the ones who sang from their childhood days. They started their careers and became successful at a very early age. Moreover, they did not get much teaching but still are the legends of all time.

Apart from singing, there are other talents that nature has given us. Various scientists like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, started their work in their teenage years. They had amazing intellectualism, because of which they got recognition in their entire world. Furthermore, these scientists did not get any mentoring. They did everything on their own. Because they had extraordinary intelligence and ambition in life.

Nature refers to the environment we are living in. We have put huge pressure on nature by using its resources unmindfully. At the rate at which the population of the world is increasing, the resources of nature are not renewed at that pace, as a result, nature cannot support us for long. All human activities are dependent on three main resources: food, energy and timber and unfortunately, these come from nature. Human desires, dreams and demands have taken a toll on nature. This has resulted in deforestation, degradation of the natural fertility of the soil, loss of biodiversity and pollution. Because of this, the natural ecosystems are disturbed. Another disastrous repercussion of our negligence is climate change. This has become a major reason for the extinction of many species of plants and animals and many are on the verge of extinction. The impact of global warming is not only limited to plants and animals but also to humans. The reality is that we have doomed ourselves by interfering with nature. 

Nature is entirely dependent on the genetic combination of an individual which dictates their character and appearance. On the other hand, nurture is dependent on the environmental factors that an individual gets exposed to which end up shaping his or her personality. Nature and nurture influence individuals to a certain extent because individuals get exposed to both of them in one way or the other dictating their development process.

Through nurture, an individual acquires specific attributes from the environment that surrounds them. When a child is born, for instance, its mind is black and empty. It is through its interaction with the surrounding and the people around it that will make the infant acquire some of their traits through learning, observation and aping their conducts. In other words, nurturing is dependent on the environment, experience, and learning.

Now, our urgent intervention is required at this stage, not to destroy nature but to preserve it. Most important is to ‘Speak up’, ‘Train’ and ‘Teach’ our kids and people around us about the necessity of conserving nature. Set an example for others by using and buying reused, repaired and recycled products. Walk or cycle your way to most places, use public transport, save water, become energy efficient, and use less paper. We should let our children grow in the company of nature, let them discover the joy of watching birds build their nests, honey bees sucking nectar, rabbits hopping and a sapling growing into a tree. Keep them away from gadgets and close to nature, if we want to save our future. 

On the other hand, the nurturing of a person is important. Because hard work beats talent. With proper mentoring and practice, a person can achieve success in life. If a person has an environment in which everybody is in the same profession and are successful in it.

An infant develops an emotional attachment to its parents because of the love and affection it receives. Moreover, children who are given proper care and affection will reciprocate the same while growing up. On the contrary, infants who receive harsh treatment from their parents will develop withdrawal symptoms while growing up. Also, the infants also try and learn how and what to talk by studying the speech of those around them. The cognitive development comes from the exposure that the infant receives and conditions surrounding it. There is a great chance that the person will land up in the same profession and will achieve heights. Because in that environment he will get proper nurturing.

Furthermore, he will also be able to perform better over the years. “Hard work always pays off”. This idiom is always true and nobody can deny that. If a person has true dedication then it can beat talent. Various singers, dancers, musicians, businessmen, entrepreneurs did work really hard for years.

And because of that, they got recognition in the entire world. In these categories, musicians are who achieved heights only with their hard work and constant practice.

Psychologists have discovered that both nature and nurture are responsible for the development of an individual. Both factors interact with each other and play a crucial role in shaping up the conduct of an individual. It is true that there are no shortcuts to success. Various known legends like Bob Dylon. Lou Reed, Elvis Prisley, Michael Jackson worked hard throughout their lives. As a result, they were some of the great personalities in the entire world.

HARD WORK Vs SMART WORK, ENGLISH PROJECT, ICSE, ISC, CBSE

 

HARD WORK Vs SMART WORK

People have this impression that working hard can help us achieve our dreams and aspirations. But finding what’s better between hard work and smart work is quite a debate. Hard workers are very consistent. They would not budge until the goal is met. They do not gauge the progress; they only love continuing their work with labour. Hard work refers to putting in strenuous hours with orientation largely on quantity with no innovation and flexibility. It’s more routinely and monotonous. Deriving pleasure out of it is impossible. Often satisfaction takes a back seat. A person’s perspective of how they do activities is referred to as “working hard.” This is related to specific characteristics such as punctuality, perseverance, and flexibility. Others may regard you as hardworking if you come to work early and leave late to do your duties, for example. Manual work or mental activities that require a lot of thinking are frequently involved in hard work. Completing things takes a lot of effort or endurance for hard workers. Some people regard hard work occupations to be entry-level or tasks that you take before moving on to a less physically demanding role.

If both intellect and hard effort are combined, one may achieve tremendous heights and live a better and more pleasant life. In due time, such a person will receive all of the honours and respect he or she deserves. The reason for this is that a planned strategy that incorporates both smart and hard effort can help you achieve your objective. Hard work will never pay off if you aren’t astute. As a result, it is advised that smart work and hard work (Smart Work versus Hard Work) be combined wherever possible.

Smart work refers to finding effective and efficient ways to complete one or multiple tasks while also managing time and quality both. It explores effective ways to accomplish work, be it delegating, prioritizing or organising the working process in a smarter way. Since, smart work aims to manage time effectively; it can achieve end goals within the deadline and without compromising with the quality. Smart work has a more holistic approach to tasks than hard work. Despite yielding results, working hard incurs lots of time and energy while working smartly includes more work in a lesser amount of time. Working smart includes having better judgment, thorough planning and meticulous organisation to execute the work at hand. Smart workers come up with creative and rational ways. They are being adaptable to situations. They are being spontaneous in their actions and thoughts. They bear updated Knowledge of various prospects of the work. They have the knowledge of the networks. They are capable to make appropriate decisions at uncertain moments. They focus on improvisation. They know how and where to invest time and money.

Hard work necessitates a great deal of dedication and sincerity on the part of the individual, and it is not an easy path to pursue. No matter how difficult the circumstance is, a dedicated worker must continue to strive for what he considers to be worthwhile. The Hard Worker achieves success despite putting in long hours at work and forgoing many of life’s conveniences.

One can combine hard-working skills with brilliant work by planning the required tasks. As a result, this will allow for proper time management. Delegate the small jobs to someone else who is available so that one’s mind is free to focus on the critical tasks. Enhance the communication skills and keep track of quality instead of quantity of work.

“The Crow and the Pitcher,” is a perfect example of hard Work vs. smart Work.  This does not negate the need for hard work; nevertheless, inventive work can change the game when hard work is no longer effective. Despite time constraints, people who work hard are goal-oriented. Unfortunately, because they are unaware of how dynamic the situation is, their intense concentration frequently leads them astray. This is the time when all of your efforts will be rewarded.

Smart professionals employ innovative approaches. If you work wisely, you’ll frequently search for shortcuts to help you achieve your objectives faster and with less effort. Depending on the individual or the business, the perception of someone who works intelligently may alter. A computer programmer, for example, could automate programming jobs so that they don’t have to create distinct code for each one. If one uses one’s intelligence and analytical thinking skills properly, one can achieve the goal in less time and with less resource and energy usage. If one combines both smart and hard work, one can achieve tremendous heights and live a better and more comfortable life. This will eventually help one gain well-deserved praise and attention. A systematic strategy combining smart work and hard work is necessary to achieve one’s goal. As a result, it is recommended that smart work and hard work be integrated whenever possible, as they both complement and fill in for each other when needed.

IMPORTANCE TO REWRITE HISTORY FREE FROM BIAS, ENGLISH PROJECT, ICSE, CBSE, ISC, INDIAN HISTORY

 

GROWING IMPORTANCE TO REWRITE HISTORY FREE FROM BIAS AND OBJECTIVE TO MISLEAD NEXT GENERATIONS

History is all about the past. In almost every country, city, town and village throughout the world, a large number of existing buildings were built in the past to meet the needs and aspirations of people, now dead. This is most obvious in existing temples, churches, mosques, fireplaces, houses, public buildings, and so on. The systems of governments, political ideas, religious beliefs, art, architecture, cultural practices, educational systems, customs and behaviours are all products of the past, recent or remote. By definition history is a continuous, systematic narrative of past events relating to a particular people, country, period, person, etc. It is written in a chronological order. It is important that history per se must be a true and factual record of events as they happened. This implies that history must record all the good, bad or ugly that may be associated with any period of time, event or personality. Opinions, perceptions or commentary on history and historical events should not be construed as history as they will vary from individual to individual.

History is precisely the study of this human past. The past is our heritage; we are part of it and the past is part of us in all aspects: Be it culture, behaviour, religious faith and practices, be it rituals, be it the tradition of political, social and economic systems. It is reflected in our day-to-day living. It moulds the outlook of the younger generation. By turning the past into a narrative, history creates a public ethos and influences culture. From architecture to film, and from ancient India to Partition etc it encompasses aspects to give a clear idea of the past.

It provides societies and individuals with a dimension of longitudinal meaning over time which outlives the human life span. It connects us with our past. History also allows us to peep into the future by providing precedents for contemporary actions and forewarning against the repetition of past mistakes. From its sense of continuity, history offers the apparent form and purpose to the past, the present and the future. 

As memory is to the individual, so history is to the community or the society. Without memory, individuals find great difficulty in relating to others. We all move ahead through the past of our own cultures, own civilisations, and values and it is this accumulation of ideas and experience, transmitted through education and sheer daily living that gives our thoughts meaning and the patterns and purpose of our actions. It is not that we live in the past but we are defined by it, and so the success of even the most forward-looking developments must inevitably rest on their relation to the ideas and practices of the society.

Problem of writing history: There is a tendency among historians to act as judges and give moral sermons. Historians must write and rewrite history. They are not supposed to be moral judges. Therefore, we must not forget that we cannot fully understand or appreciate the work of a historian unless we have first grasped the standpoint from which he himself approaches it, and that standpoint is itself rooted in social and historical background. A publicly shared past imparts a collective memory and identity. Textbooks are viewed as officially approved documents — even if they are privately produced and have no official sanction — and are therefore believed to be associated with state power. Significantly, they do shape the perceptions of the young because children are impressionable. There is no doubt that most history across the world has been written with a strong bias towards the victor and those in power. History of World War two is perhaps the best example where mainly British and Americans have been glorified and credited with achieving victory over Nazi Germany. Children depend on adults to learn about the past, and that is what makes history the most challenging school subject. The poorly taught history matters even more than well-taught history, simply because when history does not arouse curiosity or impart the tools of analysis, it creates an emotional barrier for further inquiry.

Indian History can be divided in five broad periods – Vedic period from 6,500 BC to 1,000 BC, Golden period from 500 BC to 800 AD, Muslim period from 1,000 AD to 1,700 AD, British period from 1,700 AD to 1947 AD and finally the period after independence in 1947 which may be termed as contemporary History of India. The first two periods from 6,500 BC to 800 AD have a lot of gaps and the available history is rather sketchy. Without a doubt there is a need to fill the gaps and add more details were available. Muslim and British periods, as also contemporary history of India, are fairly well chronicled and documented. Muslim and British period history is written mainly from their perspective as most historians were commissioned by them. Therefore, Indian perspective is missing and hence the need for correction and addition of details where required. History related to Indian freedom struggle does appear to be loaded in favour of Congress. It is all about Nehru and Gandhi while contribution of others like Sardar Patel and a host of others has been minimized. Those who were part of the struggle but disagreed with Congress, like Subhash Chander Bose, appear to have been given a short shrift. Contemporary history since 1947 is heavily biased with role and achievements of Congress party and its leaders being overstated while their follies have either been down played or omitted.

Given the situation in our country today, any move to change anything in history as it stands today will give rise to a fierce, and mostly meaningless, political debate. The task therefore must be entrusted to an eminent panel that draws on best available minds in the country. It must not have any political representation. They must be tasked to chronicle history as it happened and how it happened with logical deductions. They must avoid adding any personal commentary, interpretations or perceptions.

MAKE IN INDIA Vs MAKE FOR INDIA, PROJECT WORK, ICSE, ISC, CBSE

 

MAKE IN INDIA    Vs   MAKE FOR INDIA

 

In Sep 2014 Modiji launched the Make in India initiative which is very good for our country's economic growth. Make in India means manufacturing of goods and services in India and exporting them to the worldwide market. Due to this, there is an increase in our GDP growth which is very important for knowing the economy of one country. This initiative provides employment to many people. Indian startups have grown due to the Make in India initiative.

Made in India- means the product is manufactured in our country which makes our country self-reliant. Make in India mission will increase GDP and provide more employment. As unemployment is a major problem due to the high population we should go for the Make in India mission. By Make in India we can export goods to other countries and limit import which helps to make our country more powerful and high economy. It is a major national programme of the government of India designed to facilitate investment, foster innovation, enhance skill development, protect intellectual property and build the best manufacturing infrastructure in the country.

"Make for India' involves production for consumption in India itself. Given that India is one of the largest consumer markets especially in consumer durables and electronics, the concept of "Make for India' could be a game changer. It gives our growth an independence from the international economic dependence and also helps enhance the poverty levels in the country. It furthers the idea of constructing a synergetic production-consumption cycle in India itself. The primary objective of this initiative is to attract investments from across the globe and strengthen India's manufacturing sector for export. However, this ambitious plan was criticized by economists, one of whom was former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan. In a famous speech he warned against the possible liabilities and exposures in pursuing an export-led growth model. "Make in India' pushes the standpoint of an export-oriented growth. Leveraging India's inexpensive labour and other resources to keep costs low. It will boost exports to improve the domestic production base.

"Make For India' would be the shot in the arm the manufacturing sector needs. It will craete the ground swell which will "Make in India' succeed. By manufacturing essential technologies in India, the dependence on foreign players and companies would decrease, products and services will become cheaper in India. Indian companies will lead the manufacturing positions and portfolios for companies around the world. What is made for India, manufacturing of goods and services in India are sold in the Indian market only. They are not exported to another country hence it's not much beneficial for country's economic growth. It only provides employment and makes us 'Aatmanirbhar'.  Research and development with the use all the young, brilliant minds increase. It would also generate millions of jobs, both skilled and labour intensive, and would increase India's economic stature and overall self-reliance.

Made for India means the products made in our country. It is silent about enhancement of  export. Made for India is not much helpful because it will neither provide much employment nor increase GDP.

A good example of this might be seen in the consumer durables market itself. India is a huge consumer of electronic gadgets and products such as mobile phones, televisions, laptops and several other homes appliances white good. Almost all of this money is being pocketed by the international companies who manufacture the components of these products and send them to India, where they are only assembled. If the components were to be manufactured in India, this money would not only stay within the country, it will increase the south-east Asian markets as well.

Components and tools manufactured for India would mean they need to be stress tested for Indian conditions, which includes a wide range of use cases and environmental changes. India is a vast country with topical climate, desert heat as well as icy cold mountainous regions. Components and products manufactured for Indian conditions would automatically imply they would be applicable for a large number of countries around the world. This would further increase the capability of the manufacturing sector and produce globally recognised  Indian manufacturing companies.

The Road Block: This kind of hybrid, holistic model will require a quintessential pre-requisite in the form of domestic legal/financial as well as industrial reforms. It will also require amendments in ease of manufacturing. The monitoring and governing organizations for businesses in India, is still not expansion and innovation friendly, neither for Make in India nor Make for India. The reforms needed to smoothen the processes for both these models will be the key contributing factor to India becoming a global industrial power.

I still like to say that making in India is better than making for India. India is a developing country, it requires more employment. Hence more manufacturing units at the different parts of the country are required. The main purpose of this concept is to provide employment to people who are not much educated and not that skilled. It will create a lot of jobs in the next few years and will also help India not to rely on other countries. Our country will be self-dependent.

Economies do not grow linearly based on just a singular, specific model, however hard we try. India needs to create a hybrid, symbiotic model, starting with Make for India, which gratifies the domestic developmental shortfall, while offering significant space for global economic atmosphere. If India truly wants to achieve its $5 trillion economy goal, it needs to start making its own brands of popular electronic goods categories, that go on to make a mark in global markets. Our evolving industrial revolution essentially requires a strong blend of Make for India and Make in India.
