             The movie Dangal is published on 23 December 2016 , it is based on true story . When Mahavir Singh Phogat ( Aamir ) , a wrestler from Haryana ,  Disappointed upon having four daughters , he gives up hope . But when his elder daughters come home after beating up two boys , he realises their potential to become wrestlers and beings cotching them.

           His methods seem harsh, including grueling early morning workouts and short haircuts. But they don't like this but after they motivated when they see condition of their friend condition, they willingly participate in wrestling tournaments where Geeta and Babita defeat boys. Unable to afford wrestling mats, he uses mattresses and trains them in freestyle wrestling to prepare them for competitive events. Geeta goes on to win the junior and senior championships at the state and national level before heading to the National Sports Academy in Patiala to train for the forthcoming Commonwealth Games 

           But here Geeta forget his father's rules . As a result , she loses every match at the international level . When she come back home she defeats a visibly exhausted Mahavir in a visible exhausted Mahavir in a ferocious about after mocking him . Babita remains Geeta for her mistake and that she should respect him. 

           Before the Commonwealth Games, Mahavir goes to Patiala with his nephew Omkar (Aparshakti Khurana) and begins coaching the girls secretly. Learning about this, and furious with Mahavir's interference, Pramod wants the girls expelled; the sports authority issues a warning but allows them to continue. Mahavir is barred from entering the academy, and the girls are forbidden to go out. Determined to continue assisting his daughters, Mahavir obtains tapes of Geeta's previous unsuccessful bouts and coaches her by pointing out her errors over the phone.

           At the Games, competing in the 55 kg weight , Geeta eases her way into the final. Mahavir constantly contradicts Pramod's instructions while sitting in the audience, which she follows. Just before the gold medal bout, jealous Pramod conspires to lock Mahavir in a closet.

           In the bout, Geeta manages to win the first session but loses the second. Trailing 1–5 in the final session and with nine seconds left, she recalls the tactics taught by her father and a 5 - pointer and executes it on her opponent in the final three seconds, taking the score to 6–5 in her favour, thus winning the session, and the bout 2–1. In the process, she becomes the first Indian female wrestler to win gold at the Games. Mahavir returns just in time to embrace his daughters, frustrating Pramod's hopes of obtaining credit before the news media.

           Dangal is very motivated movie and it inspire me , Dangal gives us moral message which is Mahavir says , 

 " Mari chori ya bhai chhoro se kam he ke ?"

           That means this is dependent on women's strength and power . 

                I like Dangal so much

Ozymindias

Ozymindias

         - Percy Bysshe Shelley

About poet : 

        " Fear no for the future ; and weep not                                  for the past ".          

            Percy Bysshe Shelley was one of the major English poet .

            Born : 4 August , 1792i

            Died : 8 July , 1822

           Occupation : Poet , Dramatist , Essayist                                       Novelist .


             P . B . Shelley is regarded by some as among the finest lyric and philosophical poets in the English language and one of the most influential . A redical in his poetry as well as in his political and social views . Shelley did not see fame during his lifetime , but recognition of his achieve means in poetry grew steadily following his death . 

             Shelley is perhaps best known for classical poems such as :

 Ode to the west mind 

To a Skylark

The Cloud

The Masque of Anarchy     


About poem : 

         Shelley's poem imagines a meeting between narrator and a 'traveller'  who describes a ruined statue he or she saw in the middle of a desert somewhere . The description of the statue is a meditation on the fragility of human power and on the effects of time .

Analysis : 

    " I met a travel from an antique land " 

       The poem begins immediately with an encounter between the speaker and a traveler that comes from an " antique land " . Who told him a story about the ruins of a statue in the desert of his native country . Two vast legs of stone stand without a body , and near them a huge , crumbline stone had lies , " half sunk " in the sand . The traveler told the speaker that the frown and " sneer of cold command "

On the statue's face indicate that the sculptor understood well the passions of the statue's subject , a man who sneered with contempt for those weaker than himself , yet fed his people because of something in his heart ( " The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed " ) 

          On the pedestal of the statue appear the words : 

 " My name is Ozymindias king of kings ; "

      But around the decaying ruin of the statue , nothing remains , only the " lone and level sands " which stretch out around it far away .

          Ozymindias is a story with moral which was a true picture of Shelley's thoughts . All human power and all the arrogance that such power generates in those who hold it is badly misplaced .

         Ozymindias was another name of the Egyptian pharach , Rameses  2 , who was the powerful tyrant ruled in the 13th century B.C. He was so proud of his power that he commissioned a sculptor to carve warning to the rulers : 

" Look on my works , ye might , and despair "

             For Ozymindias it was no matter that how powerful they are. He tells them , they should despair of ever matching his power .

              Yet now , many centuries later , his magnificent city has disappeared under the desert sands and his statue is a wreck . Only "two vast and truckless legs" remain standing .

              Throughout the poem , we can easily realize that Shelley has depicted his attitude to political developments in his own days . He despise monarchies , which he saw institutions for the suppression of civil and religious liberty . And he believed that people should revolt against them . 

                Another  belief of Shelley is also seen through the poem that artists are wiser and more powerful than political rulers . The work of sculptor has outlived the sculptor has " well passions read " which is the picture of Ozymindias that all human power and pride is foolish and ill founded . Shelley truly saw his own functions as poet to be just like that of the sculptor . By it Shelley's belief reflects through the poetry which out lives the tyrannous monarchies of Europe .

                It is clear then that the poem depends for its effectiveness on its multiple ironies .

Phonological level : 

Metaphor :

               There is one expanded metaphor used in the poem . The statue of Ozymindias metaphorically represents power , lagacy and command . 

Personification :

             Shelley has used personification to use human emotions . He has used personification twice in the poem . 

 Rhyme scheme :                      

       The word poem follow , 

       ABBAABBACDCDCD . 

Conclusion : 

             Perhaps Shelley chose the medium of poetry in order to create something more powerful and lasting than what politics could achieve, all the while understanding that words too will eventually pass away .
