Northrop Frye was a 20th century Canadian literary critic who developed a theory of archetypal criticism. He believed that recurring myths and archetypes could be identified across different works of literature. Frye identified four main archetypes - spring/dawn, summer/zenith, autumn/sunset, and winter/darkness - that correspond to phases of the solar cycle. Each archetype is associated with certain myths, characters, and genres of literature. Frye aimed to develop a systematic and scientific approach to literary criticism based on analyzing recurring archetypes and myths.

Two Ways to Look at Life | The Only StoryDilip Barad
There were two ways of looking at life; or two extremes of viewpoint, anyway, with a continuum between them.
One proposed that every human action necessarily carried with it the obliteration of every other action which might have been performed instead; life therefore consisted of a succession of small and large choices, expressions of free will, so that the individual was like the captain of some paddle steamer chugging down the mighty Mississippi of life.
The other proposed that it was all inevitability, that pre-history ruled, that a human life was no more than a bump on a log which was itself being propelled down the mighty Mississippi, tugged and bullied, smacked and wheedled, by currents and eddies and hazards over which no control was possible.
Northrop Frye developed a theory of literature based on archetypes and myths. He believed that literature is not merely a reflection of life or expression of personality, but rather transformations of universal myths and symbols. Frye identified four archetypes that appear across different genres of literature - spring, summer, autumn, and winter - which correspond to the solar cycle, seasonal changes, and stages of life. According to Frye, all branches of literature and their genres are transformations of basic myths that fall under these four archetypes, including myths of birth, sacred marriage, fall, and dark power.

Nehru's economic policies and the challenges of globalizationDayamani Surya
Nehru's economic policies failed because he could not build institutions and organizational structures to implement his vision or policies or to mobilize the people behind them; he created no social instruments and this led to a general weakness in execution of his policies and ideas, and was a major reason for the shortcomings in the implementation of the land reforms, the execution of the Community Development programme and the management of the public sector.
A critical flaw of Nehru’s strategy of consolidation of the Indian nation, economic development and social transformation flowed from his non-adherence to the Gandhian strategy of non-violent struggle in one crucial aspect and its emphasis on the mobilization of the people.
Swami Vivekananda is regarded as one of the patron saints of Modern India. The prime disciple of 19th century Indian mystic Ramakrishna Paramhansa, he reintroduced the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world.His message of universal brotherhood and self-awakening remains relevant and most practical especially in the current backdrop of widespread political disturbance around the world
The role of hubris that comes into play before the death of agamemnonDayamani Surya
Agamemnon's excessive pride, or hubris, preceding his death is illustrated through the speeches in the play. The chorus warns that the gods are jealous of human achievement and will bring down those who become too powerful or successful. Agamemnon's hubris is shown when he claims the gods favor only the strong. His downfall comes when his wife Clytemnestra, driven by her own grief and desire for vengeance, lures Agamemnon into a trap using hubris and has him murdered upon his return from war. His hubris in refusing warnings and not respecting the power of the gods ultimately leads to his tragic downfall.
It is interesting to note that while adhering to their Indian culture Christian marriages in India have included some of the western traditions.Indian Christian weddings in effect are totally different from what is being portrayed in films. It is assumed that the bride is mostly dressed in a gown which is not completely true. Most women prefer to wear a Banaras/designer saree/lehenga in off white/milky white colours. There are many christian brides who love to get beautiful mehendi designs done on their hands before the wedding. The sacred ritual of tying the mangalsutra takes a centre stage in an Indian Christian Wedding. In Indian Weddings, we come across a beautiful amalgamation of Indo western traditions. It is exciting to find a happy blend of two different cultures in Christian weddings of India.

Turkey born Princess, Esra Birgin was married to Prince Mukkaram Jah. She is credited with restoration of Nizam's Palaces like Chowmohallah Palace and Falaknuma Palace.
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon on 23rd April 1564. He was baptized on 26th April 1564. He died on the same date i.e, 23rd April in 1616. He was married to Anne Hathaway on 28th November 1582 with her he had three children , Susanna and two twins: Hamnet and Judith.
Future continuous tense is composed of helping verb "will be" + future participle.
It is used to denote action which will be taking place at some time in the future.
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. His sonnets talk about love, friendship etc.The sonnets to the young man express overwhelming, obsessional love. The main cause of debate has always been whether it remained platonic or became physical.The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to the young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it to the next generation.Other sonnets express the speaker's love for the young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life; seem to criticise the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid.
A couplet is mostly used by an author to provide entertainment and make the content of the speech more interesting. I believe it is inserted by Shakespeare to provide clarity to the audience as well as to provide a brief relief from some of the difficult terminology and symbolism that he uses in his plays.
Blank verse is poetry written in regular metrical but unrhymed lines, mostly in iambic pentameters.Shakespeare's standard poetic form was blank verse, composed in iambic pentameter.
A sudden feeling of knowledge that brings to light what was so far hidden and changes one’s life is called epiphany. It is a term used by James Joyce in his works : Portrait of the artist as a youngman, Dubliners.
The FUTURE PERFECT TENSE indicates that an action will have been finished at some point in the future. This tense is formed with "will" + "have" + the past participle of the verb which can be either regular or irregular in form i.e, I will have spent all my money by this time next year.
According to William Wordsworth poetry is the powerful overflow of spontaneous feelings. Wordsworth describes his main intention to write Lyrical Ballads is to choose incidents from real life and add a colour of imagination so that ordinary things may be represented in an unusual fashion.
The ancient mariner is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In this poem, he talks about an old sailor who happened to stop one of the three wedding guests to listen to his woeful tale. The wedding guest was bewitched by the mariner's glittering eye and he sat down to hear his narrative of his disastrous journey he undertook.
The future tense describes a future event or a state of being. There are several events when we talk about the future:
-Predictions/statements of fact
-Intentions
- Arrangements
- Scheduled events
The past perfect continuous and past continuous tenses are both used to talk about actions or situations that were ongoing in the past. The past continuous simply shows continuity, while the past perfect continuous emphasizes the duration of a past activity or state, mainly used to indicate how long a past action was happening.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

The theme of the repetition in Amitav Gosh's novel, the hungry tide
1. THE THEME OF REPETITION
In the novel of Amitav Gosh’s
THE HUNGRY TIDE
2.
3.
4. Repetition is one of the most important themes of The
Hungry Tide by Amitav Ghosh. In the tide country of the
Sunderbans tide and ebb tends to occur frequently and
this repetition determines everything for the people of
the tide country. Even their life and death are decided by
it. Chance and coincidence make Nirmal, Nilima, Kusum
and Horen face each other. It is the tide country that
finally resolves their fate.
Many years later when Kanai, Piya, Moyna and Fokir are
at the same place, incidents and circumstances reiterate
themselves making repetitions one of the central
deciding factor.
5. The nature and setting of the tide country is the very soul
of it that influences the fate of every character in the
novel. At one point of time, they all become equal in the
setting, and are equally affected.
In the tide country of Amitav Ghosh’s novel, The Hungry
Tide, like the ebb and the tide in the rivers which
surround the tide country islands, the incidents and the
characters, the motifs and the actions, even the
happenings are controlled solely by nature appear to be
repetitive.
6. It begins at Dhakuria railway station in Kolkata and the
journey leads to the tide country of the Sunderbans and
then continues through past and present proceeding.
Ghosh himself has divided the novel into two parts such
as ‘the ebb’ and ‘the tide’.
From another perspective the novel can be divided into
two sections i.e, the past narratives and the present
proceedings. The novel revolves around eight characters
from two generations. Nirmal, Nilima, Horen and Kusum
belong to a specific span of time and Kanai, Piya, Fakir
and Moyna belong to another, but like the tide and the
ebb, relations incidents and situations continue to repeat
for both the generations.
7. In the tide country repetition is a regular phenomenon.
The tide and the ebb come at regular intervals and
regulate the livelihood of the dwellers who depend on
gathering wood, honey and wax from the forest and by
catching fishes and crabs from the rivers as well.
Like the tide and the ebb they return in the context, as if
repetition is a part of the texture of the whole thing.
Inspite of all these, the humans continue to survive with
their aims and dreams, death takes its toll at regular
intervals but life continues to exist.
8. The time frame is expanded to a great
extent. However, through accounts of past
events, sometimes presented by the
characters and at times by the narrator
through a journal written thirty years ago
and through a myth which was actually
originated in a far distant past.
