IS TECHNOLOGY A BLESSING OR CURSE?I

         Is Technology         A Blessing Or  A Curse? 

                  " Technology like art is a                                     soaring  exercise of the                                     human imagination. "

                  In modern age,everybody are using technology from when men get up and sleep. In morning they use alarm, It is a technology. Men's day start with technology. 

                   According to Disha Sharma, Technology a child of humans, is not an underestimated term. In the present scenario, it's a necessity for everyone.  It seems similar to democracy, which states that it is of the people, for the people and by the people. Technology seems to share a similar notion. 

                                          Good thing of technology is that,  In Covid - 19, every schools and colleges were clossed,. In that time technology was very helpful for people and students. Technology is also using for pregnant female animal, small naker camera is helpful to take care of it . That is also technology.

                   According to Twisha Kaul, Technology has proven to be helpful in various fields, whether it be education or infrastructure. Online classes help children  learn things while sitting at their homes. Comfortably during a curfew or some illness. Educational games help to create competitive skills within them, which allows them in the real world.

              " Technology  should improve.                            your life.... not become your                            life".          - Billy Cox 

                In modern age,  small children are also watching mobile whole day. So mobile brightness harm for children's eyes. So they can not give attention on their study. Some people are using technology for making reels and waste their time and some time they lose their life. That time I feel that technology is curse.

                According to Sakshi Shree, looking  closely at a computer  or mobile phone screen can also cause light sensitivity, dry eye, blurred vision, fatigue and headache. Also, most computer users sit is an awkward position for a long time.  Over time, this may lead to musculosketetal issues.  Those who are addicted to loud music and use headphones may suffer hearing loss. 

                 In today's age, young children and young people try to do the scenes shown in the movies in real life. So sometimes it is time to lose one's life. And sometimes they go down the wrong path and ruin their careers. And also threatens the lives of their family members.

                  According to NVSHQ team, kids are not spending enough time with their family and friends. They like to connect virtually with peoples, sharing their life info like photos and texting online. Which is cutting them from society creating social disconnects.

         Technology causes lack of Interest in studying. Even , Environmental problems , air pollution, sound/noise pollution due to technology. Technology causes health problems in people.  It causes social Isolation of the people. And also security Issues in using the technology. 

                "Technology is a useful                                       servant but a Dangerous.                                 master".

            

                    According to Vikas Kumar, as my opinion technology is necessary but you have to not depended upon it's totally, after all we are human and work well, and if your not using above limit it's great thing I Gusss.

                So, we can say that If we use technology in good way it is blessing for us. And If we use bad way it is curse for us. So we make sure, we always use in good way.

       On Dartmoor 

             On Dartmoor is one act play written by  Neil Grant. On Dartmoor may appear to be a crime play, but actually it is a satire on a certain type of idealism which may be called fashionable or armchair. It was published in 1933.

Questions:

1.State the theme of the play. 

Answer: 

                According to me, the theme of the play is given below: 

           1.Kindness and Cruelty :

            The play opens with Muriel and Leonora receiving a call from the police informing them of an escaped prisoner. Muriel and Leonora are against the police system so they decide to shelter an escaped prisoner. The plot of the play progresses, as someone knocks on the door. Muriel and Leonora open the door and ask his name and it turns out to be an escaped prisoner, Bill Syme.Both of them shelter him and also give him whiskey. They also gives him his own money and car keys and his grandfather's coat to make it easier for the police to come and  cannot catch him. But Bill Syme, who calls himself a prisoner but in real he is a crook, and his friend Albert Read, together betray Muriel and Leonora and steal everything from the house and cut the telephone wire so that they cannot get help.This shatters the idealism of both of them and at the end of the play they actually kill the escaped prisoner with a pillow, mistaking them for a crook.

             2.Blind Faith :

            In the play we see that  Muriel and Leonora shelter the escaped prisoner and give them food and whisky to eat. And if the police come to catch the escaped prisoner Bill Syme,they gives his their car,money and even his grandfather's coat to make his escape easier and trust him blindly but an escaped prisoner is not really a prisoner, he is a crook disguised as a prisoner. Bill syme and his friend Albert Read steal all thing into Muriel and Leonora's house together. Breaks their trust. They also cut telephone wires to prevent them from getting any help. 

Question: 2

Bring out the satire in the play. 

Answer: 

            This play is a satire on a certain type of idealism which may be called fashionable  or armchair idealism.Through this play,  the writer points out the flaws in the society. The satire is not direct but is made evident with the help of contrasted  situations.The dramatist seems to imply that impractical idealism cannot solve the problems of society. Most of the people who pose as ifealists are the idle rich who dabble on these things to kill time and to get some excitement in their otherwise dull and uninteresting, fashionable lives.Such idealists.since they are divorced from reality,often come to grief.

          The writer has satirized the government in the play. The government is not doing the work it is supposed to do and commenting on women's clothing but not solving other problems. Apart from this the author has satirized the police system. Satirized that behavior of the police with the general public. 

 Question: 3

Do you find anything farcical in the play ? If so,point it out and show its farcical nature.

Answer: 

      There are so many farcical elements in these play,which are as follows: 

          When Leonora says that some man is outside but Muriel doesn't believe it and says nonsense,Leonora says behind the hedged in the garden but Muriel says you are dreaming. Which is funny to the audience. 

          When both the girls realize  that there is actually someone in the garden they both get  scared and start shaking and their voice also shake which we find ridiculous.

            When Albert Read turns up as a sergeant and comes to Muriel and Leonora's house the two pretend to read something and Muriel starts discussing PM's rotten speech. which is hilarious. 

          Muriel is angry with Albert  Read and his torn is very rude that's why Muriel also rude to him and that time Leonora  is asked to Sergeant  read that have a cigarett?

           when Bill Syme  and Albert  Read break into Leonora  and Muriel 's house, Muriel runs to  the telephone to call the police but realizes that the crook has cut the telephone  wire,and we are amused at their distress. 

           Also, when a real escaped  Prisoner name Fred Lee comes to the duo's  house to asking for help, they both mistake Fred Lee  for Bill Syme  and Albert Read  and smother him with a pillow, much to our amusement.

Question: 4

Describe the trick played upon the two ladies by the two thieves. 

Answer: 

   Two thieves trick two ladies out of their wits,which is as follows:  

            As the play opens, Muriel  is informed by the police of a prisoner who has escaped from the prison and is told to inform the police if he comes across.The crook instructs the escaped prisoner to break into Muriel's house.It seems well that Muriel and Leonora are against the police system. After a while there is a noise from the garden but there is no one. Them there is a knocking at the door, a man.His name is Bill Syme. 

            He is dressed as an escaped  Prisoner but  is actually a crook.  He pretend  to be hungry ,thirsty  and tired.Muriel and Leonora give him whiskey. And then Bill Syme praises Muriel, he says you wrote the book "Horror of Prison  Life " is very good. And thus he wins the trust of both.And after some time he gets sympathy by telling a false story of beating his wife with a hammer.

           As the play progresses,  Bill Syme says what would I do if the police came to arrest me.Muriel and Leonora give him money , car keys and send him to the top floor of the bungalow,and destroy his footprints, whiskey glass and everything. 

           Then there is a knock on the door. which is Sergeant read who is actually Albert read who is the friend of Bill Syme.He makes inquiries like a policeman. Raising his voice and acting a rudely so that they think they are policemen.Then he goes to the second floor on the pretext  of a searching and steals Muriel  and Leonora's precious jewellery,valuables like platinum watch,rings,gold chain,mink coat, pearl necklace,gold bottles.Beside, he also cuts the telephone wire so that these two do not get any kind of help.

           Thus two  ladies are deceived by two thieves.

Picture Exhibition

 Pictures Exhibition

At Nilam Bag Palace

           On November 18, 2022,we visited painting exhibition based on the subject of Subconscious Mind at Nilam Bag Palace Art Gallery. The key takeaway from this exhibition is that one must use consciousness to positively influence the subconscious thoughts. 

     Both pictures are based on the story of Eve and Adam who ate an apple and the world begins. According to me, men and women complement each other. Just as one hand can't clap, the world cannot be run by a woman alone and nither can a man run the world, both men and women are needed to run the world. Men and women are two sides of the same coin. Men and women are like the wheels of the same chariot. In morden age, men and women are working in all fields. 

          This painting is based on Indian Marriage and rituals. In Indian culture, people believe in horoscope and luck. But according to me. It is better to work hard and succeed based on horoscope and luck. Just as a sculptor patiently builds an idol with chisel and hammer, similarly a human being should sit and build his life patiently with chisel and hammer to reach the heights of success. 

  

All the painting was made by Digvijay Singh Rana sir who belong from Limbo, Surendra Nagar. These all painting was made on canvas by oil painting colour and used of blad. A picture takes three to four months to complete. Rana Digvijay Singh is a self taught painter. His work is inspired by his personal life experience.                                          

All the pictures based on the power of subconscious and thoughts. Please comment  what you think about those pictures. 

Thinking Task - I Find No Peace

Thinking Task - I Find No Peace:

Question: 1 

What are your views on "Love "?

Answer:  

According to me,Love means no words to tell and no words to explain.

According to me, Love is feeling where one person can fearlessly share their joys and sorrow with another person.

Love is not the union of two minds but of two hearts and soul.

Many people say that loving is crime but they worship Lord Krishna. They don't know that the  Shri Krishna's name is not taken with Rukshmani  but with Radhaji because Lord Krishna and Radha loved each other very much. If loving is a crime they why take the name of Krishna and Radhaji ?  In my opinion loving is not crime.

Question: 2

Share any one story which is full of love and pain.

Answer:

                  Ishq movie 

Ajay Devgan: Ajay Rai

Amir Khan: Raja

Kajol: Kajal

Juhi Chavala: Madhu

Sadashiv Amrapurkar: Ranjit Rai

Johnny Lever: Ranjit's brother-in-low

This movie starts with comedy and love life . Ajay love Kajal and Raja love Madhu. But Ajay and Madhu comes from wealthy family while Raja and Kajal are  poor family. Ajay's father Ranjit Rai, he learns that his son is in love with a poor girl and he wants to get his son married to Harbans lal's daughter Madhu, who loves Raja.

Ranjit Rai and Harbans Lal together think to create rift between these four. So they invite Raja and Kajal to madhu's birthday party. But get attacked by goons on the way and create a rift by pulling a falsehood and showing it to Ajay and Madhu.

Then they get separated and Ranjit Rai and Harbans Lal decide to get Ajay married to Madhu but Ajay's maternal uncle's came to know about Ranjit rai's conspiracy, he takes pictures of Ajay and Madhu being attacked by the Raja using Ranjit Rai's method and show them both.

Ajay and Madhu are very sad when the truth come out and they leave the wedding and go to the airport to meet each other and also meet their lover and the movie ends happily.

  Madam bhikaiji  Cama

Madam Cama was the life and soul of Indian independence movement and one of the greatest petriots of India.

Madam Kama was born on 24 September 1861 in Mumbai to large and wealthy Parsi zoroastrian family.

In the 19th century, girls were not educated much. But Bhikaji learned languages like English,French ,German while staying at home.

Her family member used to call her Munni.She was also proficient in studies. At the age of 24, she got married to Rustamji Cama. Her in-lows were very wealthy but Madam Cama's mind become adept at liberting the country and taught the people living in huts.

In 1896, when the plague broke out in Mumbai, she went to the slums and served the  people.

Her health failing, she moved to London with her husband in 2902. Where she met Dadabhai Navroji, after which her activism increased in the freedom struggle.

She would increase her friends, by secretly sending pistols as Christmas presents to Irish and Russian revolutionaries.

In London, she led the freedom movement of the country along with Shyamji Krishna Verma, Sardarsingh Rana,and Dadabhai Navroji.

She also started a newspaper called "vande Mataram".

She died on 13 August, 1936 at the age of 75 at the Parai hospital in Mumbai.

My Favorite Festival

 India is a country of festivals. All festivals are celebrated with joy and excitement. Each festival has its importance.

There are so many festivals celebrated in India, like Diwali, Holi, Rakshabandhan, Bhaibij, Janmashtami, Pateti, Ganesh Chaturthi, etc...

But my favorite festival is "Navratri".  Navratri festival is celebrated every year from Aso Sud Ekam to Aso Sud Nom. Navratri is the longest festival in India.

Navratri is our religious festival. At this

 festival, people play Garba and Raas. Young men and women wear a cultural dress in Navratri. The whole atmosphere becomes devotional in Navratri.

Goddess Durga and various goddesses are worshiped during this festival. This festival's last day is known as Dussehra. Goddess Durga killed Mahisasura during Navratri. And according to Ramayana, On the day of Dussehra, Rama killed Ravana.

Some people fast during Navratri. At this festival, some people play Bhavai for the joy of other people. I am proud of my state Gujarat because my state is known for Garba. 

At this festival, other countries people come for celebrating the festival in my country and especially in my state.
