Shiva :The adiyogi and destroyer

India has always been glourious in its past ,present and will remain the same in future as well .It's just because I feel that the foundation of the country future is laid on damn hard cement material called moral ethics and the way of living .In our hindu mythology ,It is being that three trio called Bramha ,Vishnu and Mahesh are three pillars on which existence of universe rely upon .Bramha called the creater of the universe and vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer .It is also said about shiva that he is supreme lord .Shiva being known for his furious nature ..He has power to destroy everything at once ...

THE ROYAL FAMILY OF UNITED KINGDOM

As a student of an english literature ,I developed my fondness towards the british history .In my initial years of learning ,I found it boring as usual ,Infact In my childhood as well ,I used to find history books very boring just because it was a part of my syllabus ..and I had to read it to score good marks ,no matter what .I couldn't understand that it is a story of the past times .Now I find all vintage story very driving .In the previous blog ,I talked about the patriarch of queen elizabeth 11 and in this blog I will talk about the matriach by the queen herself .As we know that when queen was 18 ,some series of events happened in her life and she took the throne as narrated by the queen herself in many interviews .    So,Story starts from the point when queen elizabeth 11 married her love of life prince Philip of greece (which is connected to queen as relative through queen victoria ) .This pair have total 4 children .

The British Royal Family :A History

Well,I have lot of curiosity about the practical life of British people in India .We all know that our country was the matter of subordination in the past for 200 years under British people .What we know about them is just limited to our study books under syllabus on the political level ..But I want to know more than the syllabus books of 8th ,9th,10th etc etc .When I was in these classes I would used to think of it extremly boring as subject because I had to remember ..I couldn't understand that it is story of the past ...I don't needed to remember ..I need to take it as good vintage story ..but anyway ,.Anyhow I passed my examination reading it  but now I understand the chronology of the story. ..There is nothing new in today's time politics ..Everything is based on past .So Keeping the topic intact let me tell you about Royal British family which is still in existence with great power (along with parliament) .I wanted to know the dynast of the family ...their ancestors ....

Clothing :The original ideas 👚

Being a person who is so much interested in culture ,heritage and an indegenious ideas  so curiosity is very natural regarding so many things around .Today ,The sudden idea of clothing history hit my mind as we all dress according to our fondness and comfortability .I think that dressing should be according to one own choice and idea of feeling comfort .It should not be governed by any peer pressure or anybody likeness for that matter .It's one own prerogative according to their body types and wishes to explore .Well,As I was going through the history of evolution of clothing in my country ..in due process I got to know so much things that was very fascinating .The idea of original clothing system of my country and the idea of shared clothing .As Everybody knows that Saree is the ancient clothing system of India dates back to Indus valley civilization .Women of that time just used to drape themselves in an unstitched piece of clothing and men used to draped themselves a...
