Video 1 :  The denger of single story.

Ngozi Adichie is very good speaker. In the first video she talk about her family, her childhood writing, her view about the literature. she began to write at age of 7. At that time all her character are white and blue eyed. First she simpla immitate the things that she read. But as soon as her reading grows she started reading about the thing actually she found around her self. We found that she simply speak that the thinks she never found around her she write about that.  This shows the denger of single reading that she wrote the things she never feel.  It also shows the power of colonialism. Though she don't know anything about the life of white people she write about them. The roommate scene also shows thinking of white people about black.

Video 2 :  we all should be Faminists : 

When she began talk about Faminisam first she talks about her personal experience that she wants to be monitor in class but her teacher simply refund her because she was girl. Ferther she says that boys always pay for girl to prove her masculine. Their ego never allow them to bag in front of girl. Marriage is for them is about ownnership. She also says that we 
should focus on  ability rather then the gender. In culture virginity is more important for girl then boy. This also shows the our nerrow  mind set. We also feel that child is only responsibility of both not only woman.

Video 3 :  Importance of truth in post truth era.

In the third video about truth in post-truth era, she beautifully said about the courage of speaking truth. Her thought is to be loyal with ourselves to tell the truth. She says that most of the time politic force to lie. She also says you must not  tell truth because it's work but after telling truth you can sleep well. She also says that never stop your self to tell truth. Be courageous accept that life is messy. Your life is not always perfectly match with your ideology. She also talk about self doubt and self believe.


If I talk about my self then I agree with her in her idea of marriage. When she says that marriage is ownership for man. Because in our society we have so many examples where we can see this thing. Where man treet a a woman as object or as their own property. And also shows the reality of the society.  

I like idea of the to tell the truth to your self. Because we see that we even sometime lie to our self. We try to gave justification to self so that our guilt conscious won't truble us. So I like the idea that at least we should true to our self. This view also help me to understand life and my self in better way. This point provide me to view how I talk with my self. That is I am also give excuse to my self sometime.

The poem The Eagle is written by Lord Tennyson. He was a English poet often regarded as  he chief representative of the Victorian age in  poetry. He was also a poet laureate during the time of 1850 to 1892. This is a lyric poem. The Eagle is brief but vivid glimpse into the world of this powerful bird. As with the best poet's work, this short poem display a strong musical sense. Summery :  The poet says about the eagle in this poem. This is one of the masterpiece by Lord Tennyson. It clasps things very strongly. He says on the charge with the strong clasps of crooked hands. He clasps the crave with crooked hands. He sats on a height so that it seems to  the poet as if he is nearer to the sun. The land is man less. He takes rounding the sky. Poet say that he sets on height on that height sea is like wrinkled. When he says on a mountain walls he saw all things with are on land. When he saw his food he come their as fast as thunderbolt and pick his food. ...

પ્રેમ કે આદત

Payar hua ikrar hua hai Pyar sai fir kyu darta hai Kahta hai dil rasta mushkil Malum nahi kaha hai manzil. આ ગીત મે ઍટલે નથી લખ્યું કે મને પ્રેમ થયો છે. સાચે કવ તો મને પ્રેમ થય જ ના શકે. પણ આજ આ ગીત સભડ્યું એટલે અમુક વિચાર આવ્યા એટલે લખ્યું. આમતો આ સોંગ જ એક ટ્રેડ માર્ક છે. જ્યારે કોઈ પણ આ સોંગ સાંભળે એટલે જો એને પ્રેમ થયો હોય તો એના પ્રેમી કે પ્રેમિકા ની યાદ આવી જ જાય. પણ હું જ્યારે પણ આ સોંગ સાંભળું ત્યારે મને સવાલ થાય કે શું પ્રેમ કરવો અને પછી એનો એકરાર કરવો સરળ હોતો હશે ?  અને જો ખબર જ છે કે આ બધી વસ્તુઓ ખુબ અઘરી છે તો લોકો આમાં ફસાતા કેમ હસે ? પછી આગળ સોંગ માં એવું કે છે, કે જો પ્રિય પાત્રો નો સાથ છૂટી જશે તો ચાંદ નહિ ચમકે. એવું થોડી હોય કોઈ એક વ્યક્તિ ના આપડા જીવન માંથી જતા રેહવાથી કઈ આટલો બધો ફરક  થોડી પડતો હશે. મારા મતે જોવા જાવ તો આ બધી એક આદત ની વાત છે. તમને કોઈ ના હસવાની, કોઈના બોલવાની, કોઈની ચિંતા કરવાની આદત પડી ગઈ હોય અને અમુક કિસ્સામાં કોઈના ઝગાડવાની પણ આદત પડી જતી હોય છે. બસ આટલું જ હોય. સમય ની સાથે આપડે આપના રૂટીન માં ગોઢવાત જઈએ અને બધું ભૂલ...
