Jewelry

A new silver jewelry piece attracts buyers through its clean, bright and shiny look. But the jewelry will require some amount of regular care to retain its natural beauty. As the buyer starts wearing the ornament on a regular basis, the piece will gradually look tarnished and dull. The lotion and skin oil applied on your body along with the normal dust, pollution and dirt will impact the natural beauty of the silver jewelry. Therefore, you must clean these ornaments regularly to maintain their natural shine and brightness. However, you can clean the dirty silver pieces at your home without incurring any additional expenses.

1. Inspect and Rub the Jewelry Piece: Before cleaning the silver jewelry, you must inspect the piece thoroughly to detect clasps, prongs and loose stones. It is very much important to get the ornament repaired by a professional jeweler before you start the cleaning. If the jewelry does not require any additional repairing, you can use a soft cleansing cloth to rub the piece. You must exercise some amount of care and caution while rubbing the silver piece to prevent the soft metal from blending and scratching. Once you buff the dirt from silver jewelry surface, oil the piece off using a watercolor paintbrush or soft-bristled toothbrush.

2. Choose the Appropriate Cleansing Product: After cleaning and oiling the dirty silver jewelry piece, you need to choose a good quality cleansing product. Some people even prefer to use the mild cleansing product at their home. But you also have options to buy the cleansing product from the market after ensuring that it does not use alcohol, ammonia or bleach. It is also very much essential to avoid the harsh chemical-based cleansing products as these can damage the quality and look of the silver jewelry piece.

3. Clean the Silver Jewelry: If the ornament is extremely dirty, you need to consider the cleansing dip method that uses a comparatively strong cleansing product. Before cleaning the silver jewelry, you must test the effect of the cleansing agent by applying on a small area of the ornament. Once you are sure about its effectiveness, add more cleansing product to the soft cloth and cleanse the jewelry by rubbing and polishing gently. Sometime the soft cloth is darkened due to the impact of the cleansing agent. In such cases, you need to rinse the cloth in warm water before continuing the cleaning process.

4. Dry and Store the Silver Jewelry: After cleaning the silver ornament fully, you have to dry it using a pure cotton towel, silver wipes or rouge cloth. While drying the piece, you have to concentrate on the stones, prongs, jewelry beads and similar delicate designs. However, you also need to consider some additional measures to store the fully cleaned silver jewelry in the most appropriate manner. The ornaments must be stored separately inside a jewelry bag or soft boxes. You can even consider the silver storage boxes specially designed to resist tarnish. After placing the jewelry inside the bag, you must store it on a rack free from humidity and high heat.

SOCIAL ISSUES IN THE PLAYS OF MAHESH DATTANI The plays of Mahesh Dattani emerged as -fresh arrival’ in the domain of Indian English drama in the last decade of the twentieth century. His plays deal with contemporary issues. They are plays of today sometimes as actual as to cause controversy, but at the same time they are plays which embody many of the classic concerns of world drama. I have selected -Tara’, Seven Steps Around the Fire, on a Muggy Night in Mumbai -Bravely Fought the Queen’ and -Final solutions,’ to study the contemporary values in these plays. 1.2 : JUSTIFICATION Dattani’s plays have a universal appeal. They can be staged anywhere in the world, they would draw full attention of the audience. Dattani moulds his subject in such a way that it is both topical as well as appealing. His plays speak across linguistic and cultural barriers. Dattani makes an abundant use of Indian mythology, rituals and traditions and contemporary problems, India is beset with but he elevates these themes to a higher level, touching the human chords that emanate love, happiness, sexual fulfilment and problem of identity. Though he lives in Karnataka, he writes about the whole nation of India, about the whole world he lives in. It is in the fitness of things that we must make an attempt at evaluating the play wright’s thematic concerns as well as his exploration of, and experimentation with stage. 1.3 : MAHESH DATTANI : HIS LITERARY ACHIEVEMENTS Mahesh Dattani was born in Bangalore on August, 7, 1958. He is the famous Indian English dramatist. He took admission in Baldwin’s High School and St. Joseph’s college of Arts and Science, Bangalore. He is a graduate in History, Economics and Political Science. He is a Postgraduate in Marketing and Advertising Management. He worked as a copy writer in an advertising firm and later on with his father in the family business. Dattani’s theater group-Play pen was formed in 1984. He made his directional debut with Mango Souffle. He has directed many plays for them ranging from classical Greek to contemporary works. Over a carrier spanning twenty five years he has written radio plays for the BBC and the film script of Ek Alag Mousam. Plays- (i) Tara (ii) On a Muggy Night in Mumbai (iii) Where There’s a Will (iv) Dance like a Man (v) Bravely Fought the Queen (vi) Final solutions. Mahesh Dattani received the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Award for his contribution to Indian Drama in 1998. The International Herald Tribune while praising Mahesh Dattani praised him as –One of Indian’s best and most serious contemporary play wrights writing in English.” Mahesh Dattani is India’s first play-wright to be awarded the -Sahitya Akadami Award’ for his contribution to the world of drama. Alyque Padamsee calls him one of the most serious contemporary play wrights. There are two published texts of Dattani’s plays-one a collection of plays while the other one is in parts. Recently his plays have been collected in a single volume called -Collected Plays’ published by Penguin. Alyque Padamee says, –At last we have a play wright who gives sixty million English speaking Indians an identity.” Mahesh Dattani is one of the famous Indian-English dramatists. He has successfully launched the Indian theater in English. In many of his plays, he deals with various issues like homosexuality, gender discrimination, communalism and child sexual abuse. In an interview -Personal Agenda’ Published in Branch on March 21, 2004 Dattani said, –The love of my life is drama and I want to write more plays.” His most distinguishing quality is wide range of themes that he deals with in his writings. Dattani’s plays are written for the stage. It is the visual quality and dramatic effect which are of paramount importance. Dattani shapes his subject in such a way that is both-topical as well as appealing. Alyque Padamsee assisted Mahesh Dattani in building his self-esteem and helped him in securing regular audience for his plays. As Mahesh Dattani points out in his preface –Alyaque believed in my work even before I believed in it myself. He gave me courage to call myself a professional playwright and director. In 1998, Dattani won the Sahitya Akademi Award for his book of plays. Final solutions and other plays were published by East-West Books, Chennai. According to the Sahitya Akademi Award, –(Dattani’s work) probes tangled attitudes in contemporary India towards communal differences, consumerism and genera brilliant contribution to Indian drama in English.” His plays deal with religious tension, sexuality and gender issue. Alyque Padamsee calls him one of the –most serious contemporary playwrights” Dattani takes issues that afflict societies the world over. He has chronicled the social victim and the follies, foibles and prejudices of Indian society. Some of Dattani’s plays are eloquent defences of society’s out casts and would be rebels. These plays include -On a Muggy Night in Mumbai,’ a compassionate look at the life and tensions of a homosexual community tricked away in Mumbai. -Both On a Muggy Night in Mumbai’ and -Do the Needful’ are probably the first Indian plays to boldly deal with the subject of homosexuality. The play -Final Solutions’ is about partition. It reveals how the engendered suspicion only deepens from generation to generation. The plays of Mahesh Dattani emerged as -fresh arrival’ in the domain of Indian English drama in the last decade of the 20th century. The plays have a great -contemporary value.’ According to John Mc Rae. –They are plays of today, sometimes as actual as to cause controversy, but at the same time, they are plays which embody many of the classic cancens of world drama.” Mahesh Dattani’s plays are revelatory in nature. If, in -Where There’s a will,’ it is the ghost not of Hasmukh Mehta but of his father that has to be recognised in -Dance like a Man’. In -Bravely Fought the Queen,’ it is a host of issues that have to be revealed and faced from the homosexuality of certain characters. Dattani shows us the hollowness of middle class lives. His plays explore what lies below the facades characters and families front up to fool the world. The family in Dattani stands for society at large. Dattani’s characters search for security and acceptance, to be true to themselves. In Dattani’s world the socialisation process initiated in the family unit has its aim the stunted growth of a bousaitres. The prominent theme of Mahesh Dattani’s later plays is homosexuality. Homosexuality is dealt with in -Bravely Fought the Queen’, -Where There’s a will,’ and – Dance Like a Man.’ Another important theme of Mahesh Dattanis’s plays in Gender Identity. -Bravely Fought the Queen’ foregrounds this whole issue with its very title. Dattai raises these and a number of other questions regarding gender and social stratification and hierarchy and sexuality. The most significant feature of Dattani is, perhaps his use of langauge. The note to his very first play, -Where There’s Will’ reads as follows. -Should the play be need in classrooms, I sincerely wish that English language teachers will not dismiss my syntax as bad English’ or worse still as incorrect, while knowledge of the rules of grammar is important, the richness and variety of the spoken word is a study in itself.” The past and the present both co-exist, and while the past has fashioned the present, the present helps the characters to re-read the past. Dattani’s stage techniques are aimed at making the audience intimate with the life of a family, its trials and trilantations and debilitating secrets. Dattani exercises great care in ensuring through his detailed stage direction that reader and potential directors understand all this. This division of the stage allows clearly demarcated space for certain characters, or time periods, as well as for different locales. C.K. Meena says, in an article on Dattani, –Unmasking the Middle class : The Drama of Mahesh Dattani” (Indian Review of Books, Vol., N. 6 1999), that this distribution of –the action among different levels on stage not only makes his plays visually exciting landmark but more at a snappy pace.” Mahesh Dattani defends his use of English as spoken by people in India and also goes on to make another serious statement. He says that his characters –would love to speak in Gujarati” and his challenge as a writer is to convey their Gujaratiness without distortion in English. Dattani’s characters speak the kind of English that most middle class Indians do. He also uses Indian English with great confidence and captures the rhythms of the spoken English. 1.4 : RESEARCH METHODOLOGY I have resolved to do research on the dramas of Mahesh Dattani : -Tara’, -Bravely fought the Queen’, -Final solutions’, -on a Muggy Night in Mumbai’ and -Seven steps Around The Fire.’ I shall take recourse to the following methods. 1. The study of various literary journals published in India and abroad incorporated in the corpus of the bibliography. 2. The study of various News-Papers in English in India and Abroad. 3. The analysis of each drama after close scrutiny.?

DETAILED ANALYSIS CHAPTER-1 :INTRODUCTION Mahesh Dattani is a contemporary writer who writes sepcifically in English. Dattani’s plays question some of the norms and conventions of society. In the process, interesting questions arise regarding gender and other issues like homo-sexuality, lesbianism, child sexual abuse. Dattani tackles issues that afflict societies the world over. Dealing with issues like male-famale ascendance divide, the patriarchal tradition, consumerism, communalism, Dattani holds back nothing. Alygue Padamsee calls him one of the –most serious contemporary playwrights.” CHAPTER-2. :ISSUES OF GENDER DISCRIMINATION -Tara’ is a riveting play that questions the role of a society that treats the children of the same womb in two different ways. Dattani’s -Tara’ is a poignant play about a boy and a girl who are joined together at the hip and have to be separated surgically, which will mean the death of either of the two. The fact that the injustice perpetuated by the victim’s own mother whose preference is to the male child, makes the play more powerful suggesting that it is woman who continues the chain of injustice. Tara is not just the story of the protagonist of the play -Tara,’ but it is the story of every girl child born in Indian family whether urban or rural. The situation is aggravated if the girl is physically challenged or there is any other physical or mental deformity in her. It is a bitter example of child abuse present in the Indian societies. Every girl child born in an Indian family does suffer some kind of exploitation and if there is a boy child in the family, the exploitation is very much visible as the privileges are consciously or unconsciously propounded to the son. The scene opens in London with Chandan, now a play wright, reminiscing about his childhood days spent with his sister Tara. Tara and Chandan are two sides of the same self rather than two separate entities and that Dan, in trying to write the story of his own childhood, has to write Tara’s story. The play revolves around the Siamese twins, chandan and Tara Patel, an operation to separate the twins at birth, leaves Tara crippled for life. Chandan, the privileged brother wants to turn his anguish into drama on his sister’s childhood. Throughout the play we can feel that she bears some kind of grudge against the society. She seems to have some kind of aversion with the outside world and her world consists of only her parents and her brother whom she was ever close to. The play explores besides exposing the typical Indian mind set which has from time immemorial preferred a boy child to a girl child. It looks at the triumphs and the failures of an Indian family. comprising of father (Patel). mother (Bharati) and two children (Chandan and Tara) coping with the trauma of disability. Tara, a feisty girl, who isn’t given enough opportunities as were given to her brother eventually wastes away and dies. Chandan escapes to London, changes his name to Dan and attempts to repress the guilt he feels over his sister’s death. His sense of trauma and anguish is so intense that at the end of the play, we see Chandan apologizing to Tara in the most moving of all the lines –Forgive me, Tara. forgive me, for making it my tragedy.” CHAPTER-3 :ISSUE OF EUNUCH -Seven Steps around the Fire’, the most popular play, dwells on the theme of eunuchs, their identity, their constitution and their connotation. Uma Rao, the sociology scholar, emerges as the most powerful character of the play, the mouth piece of the playwright, who fights to establish the identity of an eunuch. Mammal, during her research on the class and gender – related violence and crime, meets justice in the nemesis of the play. An eunuch, a beautiful one, invited for marriage, and the final tragic death-all seem to be a mis construct. This is all about marriage of a beautiful hizra Kamla to a son of a wealthy government minister named subbu. This shocking revelation culminated into the murder of Kamla. The society accepts a hizra for gracing the ceremonies of marriage and births but would not allow them to portrayed of such ceremonies. The author has ironically portrayed this aspect which would not have been given any head, for any matter related to them is of no importance to anyone. The heart rendering story about a hizra that she is murdered simply because she had fallen in love with subbu a young man having a status of importance in society, fills us with horror and sense of injustice. Again in the play we observe how the Police officer refuses to subject him self to any medical examination to rule out the barrenness of his wife due to his impotency. This bias of squarely blaming the woman for her barren state is another societal phenomenon that Dattani exposes.

CHAPTER – 4 :ISSUE OF HOMO SEXUALITY -Bravely Fought the Queen’ charters through the emotional, financial and sexual intricacies of a modern day Indian family. -Bravely fought the Queen’ was written by Dattani in the year 1991 and it was performed at the Sophia Bhabha Hall, Mumbai on August 2, 1991. The narration is centred around an Indian family in which two brothers Jiten and Nitin, the co-owners of an advertising agency, have married two sisters, Dolly and Alka. The women remain at home much of the time, where they look after the men’s ageing mother Baa. Jiten and Nitin’s father was a cruel and a dark man who usually harassed their mother. The kind of cruelty perpetrated on Baa by her husband is brought to light every now and then in the play. Baa sees the picture of her husband in her elder son, Jiten and thus automatically develops an inclination towards her younger son, Nitin who resembles her a lot. So here we have two generations sharing the same experiences at the hand of their chauvinistic husbands and yet to come third generation, Daksha who also experiences the mal-treatment of her father even before her birth and is born as a disabled child. In the same way Dolly and Alka in -Bravely Fought the Queen’ arm themselves at the end of the play to fight back. Alka very boldly questions the authority of her husband and asks for an explanation for his disloyalty. She also exposes the betrayal of her brohther for not revealing the existence of homosexual relations between her husband and her brother. There was Kanhaiya, who represents the world of sexuality whether heterosexuality or homosexuality. He might be the alluring cook who might or might not be Krishna of Dolly and Alka, or the dark auto driver who embodies Nitin’s sexual guilt. Nitin at the end of the play exposes his homosexual relations to Alka who is fast asleep after getting drunk. Thus we see that women have not been presented as sinners but they suffer because of the men who are part of their lives. This play presents the concept of gay culture prevalent in big cities. -On a Muggy Night in Mumbai’ is a tragicomedy which deals with homosexuals In the play, Sharad and Deepali, though comfortable with each other, have different ways of being gay. More stress is laid on the characters of Kamlesh and Prakash who is also Ed and romances with Kamlesh’s’s sister Kiran. Initially Kamlesh and Prakash were ardent lovers when Prakash suddenly turns coats and changes into Ed, weaning the garb of a hand some guy, head over heels in love with Kiran, who unfortunately happens to be Kamlesh’s sister. Kamlesh playing the role of humble lover resides to the changed situation without complaining. Nevertheless, his sexual needs are fulfilled by sharad, his friend. He shocks us a bit by stooping down to mating with a guard for which he is ashamed of himself. Prakash who had now changed to Ed suddenly emerges into the room and the scene to meet Kamlesh’s sister and bumping into Kamlesh is revived of his earlier crush on Kamlesh, Nonetheless Prakash/Ed is ashamed of being a homosexual and tries to leave the place with Kiran as soon as possible to escape the cynical eyes of the others who knew about his relationship with Kamlesh. Karan is shown to having all compassion for the gay people and wishes they could many for happiness of her brother who she knew was homosexual. The irony of the whole story is that the poor girl did not know that the man to whom she was going to get married was homosexual and ex-lover of her brother. The revelation in the end comes as a shock to her. The whole story throws light on the growing homosexuality and its non-acceptance by the Indian Society. CHAPTER – 5 :ISSUE OF COMMUNALISM -Final solutions’ was first performed in 1993. This play foregrounds the Hindu-Muslim problems. It also tackles the theme of transferred resentments in the context of family relations. The characters in the play motivate us to think that angry out-bursts lead to chain reactions. The play opens with Daksha reading from her diary. An oil lamp converted to an electric one suggests that the period is the late 1940. Daksha is the grand mother of Gandhis. Daksha closes her diary and then Hardika appears on the stage. She feels the things have not changed that much. In the living room of the Gandhis, Aruna, Ramnik Gandhi’s wife, enters while Aruna’s daughter Sunita and her husband are retiring for the night. Ramnik doesn’t like Hardika’s telling his daughter that –those people are all demons.” Aruna is a God fearing woman who thinks that everything will be smooth and peaceful one day. Ramnik saves the two boys- Bobby and Javed. Ramnik thinks that Javed has done an unforgivable act. Ramnik, a liberal minded person, offers a job to Javed only to give him a chance. Ramnik transfers his anger at his own father’s black deed (burning the ship) to his mother. In the name of communal hatred, this shameful act is done by Ramnik’s father. The play is a fine example of transferred resentments. Smita, who is unable to express her love for Babban, criticizes her mother bitterly. The play mocks at the politicians who use people as their puppets. These puppeteers are the culprits. The play-wright at the end of the play, wishes to stop this game of hatred and communal tension through the character of Ramnik. Ramnik accepts that his father has done the black deed. We should forgive the offenders and forget the past. This can be the final solution. CHAPTER -6 :DATTANI’S ACHIEVEMENT AS A PLAY WRIGHT Dattani’s plays have contemporary values and his plays can be said to have been impaired by Ibsen the Father of Realism. Dattani handles every problem from gender issues to sexuality very successfully. Dattani’s achievement as a play wright depends on the fact that his plays are a slice of life. They present reality as it exists. Dattani’s theatre group, playpen, was formed in 1984 and he has directed several of their plays ranging from classical Greek to contemporary work. He has an array of themes to offer in his plays and the issues he chooses to project are the most topical but also the most controversial one. Dattani’s plays, have purely performance – oriented scripts that elicit from the audience and emotional as well as strongly intellectual response. His plays address the middle class and only the middle class. The reason is not far to seek-it is this class that constitutes his audience. Dattani has created a vibrant, new theatrical form which is a marked development on the hither to stagnant Indian drama in English. ? BIBLIOGRAPHY A.Primary Sources 1.

Kids who dream of being Cinderella, cowboys, race car drivers, and more will feel right at home in these fantasy kids beds.

Parents can help to make those dreams come true in their child’s room. Wonderful fantasy beds expand a decorating theme for any boy’s or girl’s dream room.

Castles, dragons, fairies, and royalty are written about in books and captured in the hearts of children everywhere. But they don’t have to stay in a child’s imagination!

What little princess wouldn’t love to sleep in a golden coach? Do you know any race car driver who couldn’t slow down enough to dream in a colorful model car? A future sailor can rock gently to sleep in his or her own private boat.

There might be more practical solutions to childhood sleep, but the fun that a fantasy bed brings to a child’s life will more than make up for the added expense. And you’ll always know where you child is, since your child’s friends will want to play at your house and plan wonderful sleepovers!

Your child will undoubtedly outgrow the fantasy bed before it’s worn out. And the novelty of a “golden coach bed” might get old before your child changes his or her interest or goes off to college.

Be ready for the added expense and have a place to store the fantasy bed once it’s outlived its usefulness, anyway, probably you have no trouble at all finding another youngster who would love to dream in the fantasy bed.

Decorating kid’s room can be lots of fun. But what do you do when you need to get it done in a real hurry? Could you make the decisions, do the work, and finish in time?

Armpit sweat can be a terrible cause for concern for many people. Those huge wet patches around your armpits can really turn off people. So, knowing how to stop armpit sweating is very important. There are of course certain dietary and lifestyle changes which you can make for overall sweat seduction. There are certain other measures which you can also resort to. Rushing to the bathroom whenever you feel sweaty and uses paper towels to dry yourself and applying powder or deodorant may help, but it is not always possible to do so. Wearing heavy clothes to hide the sweat stains will make you feel hot and increase the sweat, though using garment pads to soak up the sweat is another solution.

There are other ways to stop armpit sweating. Women can shave their armpit, increasing air circulation. This cools the skin and reduces sweating. Another very effective way of reducing sweat is wearing light colored clothes. It’s a well known fact that dark clothes attract heat, while light clothes reflect heat. So, wearing light clothes will cause less sweat. Also, tight clothes and synthetic materials reduce air circulation. Wear loose, comfortable clothes, made of light materials which allow air to pass through and let the skin breathe and cool down.

There are some other remedies you can try to stop armpit sweating. These are methods which reduce the sweat emitted by the body, as opposed to just concealing it. These are what we call grand mom’s home remedies. So they only work over a period of time, so you need to try then out for some time before getting results. The apple vinegar remedy involves applying apple vinegar or any other malt vinegar to your armpits and letting it dry. The astringent present in vinegar blocks up the sweat pores, reducing odor causing bacteria as well as sweat levels. Let the vinegar stay overnight and wash it off in the morning.

The Baking Soda treatment can also work wonders. A paste of baking soda and water has to be applied to the armpit region and left on for 25 minutes. The alkali in the soda reacts with the acid in your sweat causing an instantly evaporating gas. The sweat will simply vanish in minutes. The only side effect is the rubbery feeling which you’re left with. But since this is infinitely better than sweaty armpits, it is inconsequential. Along with this, use a deodorant with high aluminum chloride content and watch the magic. These remedies are best applied on to shaved armpits for optimum results. So, change your lifestyle and stop armpit sweating.

Dress

Its with good reason that the little black dress (or LBD) has become such an iconic piece of womens clothing; its simply the most versatile item of clothing there is! Follow these top tips to get three completely different looks for different occasions.

What type of LBD to buy
The following advice will work with nearly all styles of little black dress, but some styles are more versatile than others. A knee length style will give you the most mileage as you can wear it for both daytime and evening occasions. If you get anything too short and sexy then it wont be suitable for more formal events or for the office. Most sleeve styles are suitable as you can easily add a shrug or cardigan but avoid strapless and strappy numbers as they cant be worn for smart occasions. Your best bet is a sleeveless style with a solid shoulder/ very wide shoulder strap. When it comes to neckline, choose your preference, but remember you can always layer a camisole underneath to dress-down a low neck, but if you get a high neckline it will be hard to glam it up. You also need to make sure that the shape suits you so if you go in at the middle make sure your dress does too!

Casual day or relaxed office
For the perfect smart-casual look simply slip on a cardigan, opaque tights and a pair of knee boots. A wrap cardigan is ideal if you are an hourglass shape as it will keep your waist on show. Alternatively, layer a sleeveless dress over a three quarter sleeve top in a light stretchy fabric of a contrasting colour. Go for bright colours to liven up your LBD, either with your cardi or your tights but not both!

Formal
For a job interview or a big day at the office its really easy to smarten up your LBD and show that you mean business. A smart tailored jacket in black or pale grey is all it takes to give your dress a more formal feel. If its a low-necked dress wear a light camisole underneath to conceal your cleavage a lace cami will add a touch of femininity to your formal attire. Smart court shoes and plain black tights are ideal, or try shoe-boots for a more fashion-forward edge.

Glam
If youve bought your LBD wisely it will also look fabulous for an evening out. Wear a good bra to make the most of your cleavage for a sexy look and either go bare-legged or wear sheer tights. Patterned or lacy tights will give a fashionable look. Of course you need to finish your look with some sky-high heels try strappy sandals or peep-toes with a matching clutch bag, then add extra dazzle with sparkling jewellery.
