A BAKER FROM GOA

(Class 10 Chapter 7, NCERT)

Portuguese influence is quite strong in Goa. There, you can still see examples of their customary labour. The bread prepared by the Portuguese is renowned. The bread bakers are accessible. The author recalls the baker visiting their acquaintance during his early years in Goa. He once made two daily trips to the house. He roused them up in the morning with the jingling sound of the bamboo. Everyone sprinted to greet him. The house servant's manservant made the purchase of the loaves. Bol, a sweet bread, was a favourite among the peasants. Without it, the marriage presents had no purpose. So the most important object in the village was the bakers' furnace.

On the occasion of her daughter's engagement, the lady of the house made sandwiches. Back then, the bread vendors wore a special outfit called a "Kabai." It was a long, single-piece dress that reached the knees. They still appear to be wearing a partial pant that ends just below the knees today. He frequently receives comments about how he looks like a "pader." In the past, baking was a lucrative job. The baker and his family appeared content and rich, and they never went hungry.

Dev Diwali

Dev Deepawali The festival which also some time referred as Diwali of Gods is greatly, and celebrated on a surprisingly huge scale with deep devotion in the Ghats of our Kashi/Varanasi(Banaras) India. If to be believed the story behind this is that with the help of Tarak and Viduynmali, a daemon by the name Muy Daanav constructed 3 aerial purs which he gave to the daemons. With this unbelievable power at their hand the daemons become mad with greed, lust and did many horrific things that a normal person wouldn’t dare even to think. Seeing these havoc, all the devas approached Lord Shiva to put to a stop to it, then an angered Shiva rose and destroyed all the tree purs showing his immense strength and power, thus the name Tripurari(An epithet of Lord Rudra). The devas rejoice their victory, hence the Dev Deepawali . In earlier days, the celebration for the Dev Diwali started from the day of Ekadishi TIthi of Kratik Shukla Paksha and it went till the 5 ...

Gulliver’s Travels Summary

Lemuel Gulliver, a realistic Englishman who was trained as a surgeon, embarks on a journey across the ocean after his business fails, as told in Gulliver's Travels. Gulliver recounts the misadventures that occur to him on these journeys in a deadpan first-person narrative that hardly ever demonstrates any symptoms of self-reflection or intense emotional response. When Gulliver wakes up after his shipwreck, he discovers that he is bound by many tiny threads and being addressed by tiny captors who are awestruck by him but fiercely protective of their realm. This is the beginning of Gulliver's voyage in Lilliput. Despite the fact that their arrows are hardly more than pinpricks, they are not afraid to employ violence against Gulliver. They risk hunger in their country by feeding Gulliver, who eats more than a thousand Lilliputians could, although they are generally friendly. Gulliver is transported into the capital by a huge waggon that the Lilliputians made specifically for the...
