🐍 Summary 

Nagamandala is a play written by Girish karnad, originally published in 1990.the story of the play is about Rani,the central character of the story.she was married to a man named apanna.apanna always locked Rani inside the room and sends most of his time outside with concubine.he comes home only for lunch.

Apanna doesn't love her wife, even though he has no interest to talk with her , whenever Rani tries to talk with apanna ,he shuts her up by saying he has no interest in her talks

               One day an old blind women,kurudhwa comes near apanna's home with her son kapanna.she talks to Rani and learns about her bad situation of living at home alone kurudhwa admires her beauty and informs her about apanna's love affair.kurudhws decided to help Rani in getting her husband 's love by giving her magical roots.

Rani was happy by hearing kurudhwa's plan.kurudhwa have her two magical roots.rani first mixed the small root with milk and gave apanna to consume .but it was of no use .it doesn't work.then she thought to give him the Big root. She mixed the Big magical root in curry .it changed the colour of the curry.she was afraid to give him this Red coloured curry so she pours it outside the home on an anthill where king cobra lives.the Naga consume the curry and as it was not normal curry so the Naga fall in love with Rani.

Naga who can take the form of human being is enchanted with her and begins to visit her e every night to the form of husband . This changes Rani's life completely as she  starts to experience the good things in life though she never knows that the person with her is not her husband but the Naga.

One of these days,she gets pregnant and breaks the news to appanna .he immediately accuses her for adultery and says that he has not fathered the child.the issue is referred to the village panchayat.the village elders suggest that Rani would have to pass through an ordeal to prove her innocence.

To prove her innocence Rani goes to the anthill and takes the Naga in her hand and says as Naga had suggested to her. The turned like a garland over her neck.then it slid through her shoulder and didn't bite her.thus her innocence was proved.afterward , the villagers considered Rani a goddess.

🐍Editting ending by me

However , her husband is not ready to accept that she is pregnant with his child ane truth by spying on the house at night.apanna is shocked 😳 to see the Naga visited Rani in his form.spending time with her and then leaving the house.

Apanna gets furious with the Naga and indulges in a fight with him.both of them fight vigorously and at one point of time the Naga takes the form of tha snake and escapes into the anthill.the villagers see the snake escaping into the anthill and kill it. Before dying the snake comes to Rani and reveals the truth to her . however , after this incident apanna realizes his mistake and accepts Rani along with the child she is carrying .

 

I'm not happy with killed the Naga so I'm discribes second end.

Appna doesn't accept Naga 's child.he told to Rani select only one me or child...if you want to live with me you should Abandon the child . Rani lots of love appna and she knew the reality of real father is not apanna but Naga is father of this child.so.she goes to return child to naga. then Naga takes a form of human and accept his child and run away from there after appana happy with Rani and treated Rani like a queen.rani also happy with apanna and Naga in form of other human and happy with his child...

🐍conclusion 

Karnad through the play exposes the exploitation and incarceration of women that occurs through the institution of marriage and how myth display the men in society and are this inherently patriarchy control and restrict the actions of women. The play also mocks the idea 💡 of chastity and aims at the emancipation and empowerment of women.

In the same way, Sanosara came in a short time.

ઘર દિવડો થઈ, ઝળહળી તું દીકરી

જાત્રા સધળી ફળી તું દીકરી.

તાજી ચમેલીની કળી તું દીકરી,

નમળી નઝાકત થી નળી તું દીકરી

વરસાવતી ઝરમર ને ચાલી જતી, 

તડકા વચાળે વાદળી તુ દિકરી

પ્રત્યેક ઘર સૂમસામ છે જ્યાં તું નથી,

ને હોવું તારું વાંસળી તુ દિકરી.

પર્યાય જિંદગી માં તારો નાં મળે,

મધ થી એ મીઠી ને ગળી તું દીકરી. 

આ બેય કાઠાને ગણી સરખા વહે,

ગંગા નદી જેવી મળી તું દીકરી .

Exam

Exam 😨

It is the most important phase of checking the knowledge and analyze the ability of a candidate

• What is exam anxiety ?

Most students feel nervous when they saw their exam dates on the school/college notice board. But those students who experience extreme panic regarding upcoming exams are considered as exam anxiety cases. Most times students find themselves worried for exam for the excess fear of being evaluated in exams. Also nervousness about the penalty or embarrassment from family and friends makes it wicked. Exam anxiety and stress is experienced by many normal students in their school and college days.

       ✨ Prime sources of exam anxiety and stress:

 
🦧Why exam are important ?

 1. Instills disciplines 

2 Gives you the ability to stay focused under pressure

3. Qualifications you need in life are only acquired through examinations

4. Time Management

5. Improve Learning

• According to me

         Generally exam is taken everywhere life is a form of exam..

Exams are very important in a student's life.. On the one hand there is anxiety. On the other hand, there is also happiness because the color of hard work is visible

At the time of exam, students forget to eat and drink and even sleep, just take books and read all day long.

But the importance of examination for learning is somewhat different and the examination is for measuring the learner

Examination is necessary for continuity of life. Life without exams is not possible

Exams only enable the student to face the future. Exams are necessary for the development of the student, it should be accepted, ignoring it is a loss

        Thus, the latent power within the child can be known only through examination.

✨ My Experience of exam :

        When I was studying in 10th and board exam coming soon so I'm very interested to how to do during first exam and how I feel there time..in very worried...

Our teachers suggest that no one can cheating during exam otherwise complaint in police very fear of this ... some teachers adviced us that you can't wear shoes in exam.. don't write anything in your hand...you can't take fall pencil during exam otherwise they seems like you are cheating in exam papar.. I was very serious during exam..I was so scared in the exam I couldn't even look around...

We all remember the exam period in schools. The daunting experience of entering the examination hall, finding your name on the exam desk and taking a seat with a booklet with blank paper and unknown questions. The sweaty hand palms and sickness feeling that seems to have made you forget everything that you have been revising for over the last previous few weeks (or in my case few days, I have always been a bit last minute). In all those years of school, college and university I always wondered what the main purpose was for exams. What would this stress achieve later in our lives? Luckily I am able to look into all this and finally learn that the stressful weeks truly are beneficial.

When The paper comes in hand, I do not read all the questions . If I don't know even one question, I can't write the answer to the other question in the same way because of their concern.

All the time my time is running low because I'm overthinking about any particular subject.

                Usually we don't study for any exam for the whole year but when the exam is near we start preparing and remember it too.

So, the exam is the most important part of developing their self & gain more knowledge.

All the students need to understand that any results can’t determine their future or capabilities. But, that piece of paper enriches good respect, experience, and good knowledge. That will help you to grow your self.
