World of Optical Illusion

 

Your eyes are incredible organs. Did you know that if you have blue eyes, you share an ancestor with everyone else on the planet? Blue eyes are the result of a genetic mutation that appeared more than 6,000 years ago. Originally, all humans had brown eyes.

Optical illusions come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and we can't get enough of them. Many optical illusions reveal fascinating secrets about how our vision and brains work, as well as how we perceive color and light, while others are simply perplexing.

They're popular on social media right now, but optical illusions are nothing new. Optical illusions have been delighting and perplexing people for centuries and in many different cultures.

There are several types of optical illusions, and the majority of them fall into one of four categories. The first are physiological optical illusions. These are the 'true' optical illusions: images that cause us to misinterpret them, such as a still image that appears to be moving or an image that appears to be a specific color when it isn't. These are caused by physiological factors in how our eyes and brains interpret things like brightness, angles, and movement.

For centuries, people have been fascinated by optical illusions. Plato and other Greek philosophers described them as tricks played on us by our senses and minds. W.E. Hill, a famous cartoonist, embraced the phenomenon of optical illusions by skillfully sketching a picture that was simultaneously two images by the nineteenth century. Your perception determined the figure you saw. It could have been a young girl or an elderly woman.

Sassi Punnu

🤍 SASSI PUNNU - A LOVE STORY 🤍

Sassi Punnu is one of Sindh's seven most popular tragic romances, and four of Punjab's. Umar Marvi, Momal Rano and Sohni Mahiwal, Laila Chanesar, Sorath Rai Diyach, and Noori Jam Tamachi are the other six members of the Seven Queens of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, a Sindhi and Sufi poet, wrote Sassui Punnu between 1700 and 1752.

There was once a raja who ruled the lands of Bhambour from the southern tip of modern-day Pakistan, in Sindh province. He had many children but was only blessed with one daughter. She was given the name Sassi, which means "moon," because they thought she was as pure and beautiful as the moon.

Astrologers predicted that Sassi's birth would be a curse for the royal family's prestige. Unfortunately, the poor parents had no other option. Sassi was unable to remain. The Queen directed that the child be placed in a wooden box and thrown into the Indus River.

A washerman from Bhambour village discovered the wooden box and the child inside. The washerman saw the child as a gift from God and took her home. He decided to adopt her because he didn't have any children of his own.

Mir Punnun Khan, son of King Mir Hoth Khan (Hoth is a well-known Baloch tribe in Makran) (Balochistan).

Punnu became curious of Sassi's beauty after hearing about her, and he was eager to meet her. So, the charming young Prince made his way to Bhambore. In order to get a glimpse of Sassi, he sent his clothes to Sassi's washerman father. They fell in love right away when he went to the washerman's house.

Punnu asked Sassi's parents for her hand in marriage. The dhobi understood the value of a humble husband, whether he was a prince or a peasant. He decided to put Prince Punnu to the test, telling him that if he could correctly wash a shirt, he would be able to marry his daughter, Sassi.



Punnu, who had never washed a single piece of clothing, was unable to wash the shirt like a dhobi in the river against the rocks. The shirt was brought back torn. The prince offered large sums of gold coins to compensate for his failed attempt, and the dhobi accepted it grudgingly, knowing that his daughter's heart would only be content with this.

♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡❣♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

Punnu's father and brothers were opposed to his marriage to Sassi (Punnu being a prince and she being a washerwoman's daughter), so Punnu's brothers travelled to Bhambhoor for their father's sake. They threatened Punnu first, but when he refused, they tried more devious methods, pretending to enjoy and participate in the wedding celebrations and forcing Punnu to drink various types of wines. When he became inebriated, they carried him on the back to their hometown of Kech Makran.

♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡❣♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

When Sassi woke up the next morning, she realised she had been tricked by her brothers-in-law. She went insane from the pain of being separated from her beloved and ran barefoot towards the town of Kech Makran. She had to cross miles of desert to get there. Alone, she continued her journey until her feet were blistered and her lips were parched from crying "Punnu, Punnu!".

She was thirsty and saw a shepherd emerge from a hut. He provided her with some water to drink. When he saw her incredible beauty, he had dirty lustful thoughts and tried to force himself on Sassi. Sassi fled and prayed to God to hide her, and when God heard her prayers, the land shook and split, and Sassi was buried in the valley of mountains.

Punu couldn't stop himself from running back to Bhambore when he awoke in Makran. He called out "Sassi, Sassi!" on the way, and the shepherd told Punnu the entire story. Punnu lamented the same prayer, the land shook and split once more, and he was buried in the same mountain valley as Sassi.

Sassi and Punnu were both devoured by the earth. In their place now stand two mountains, indicating that they will be together forever and that even death could not separate the star-crossed lovers.

Love Story - Heer Ranjha

 

Heer Ranjha is one of many famous Punjabi tragic love stories, other notable ones being "Sohni Mahiwal", "Mirza Sahiban" and "Sassi Punnhun".

WARIS SHAH WORK :

Waris Shah was a Punjabi Sufi poet, best known for immortalizing Heer Ranjha's love story in Punjabi literature.

Waris Shah was well-versed in Sufi. His depiction of the story of romantic love is a poetic expression of the mystical love of the human soul towards God, which is a central theme in both Sufi and Sikh mysticism.

WARIS SHAH :

His version of the legendary romance of Heer is his most notable work. Heer Waris Shah (or The Romance of Heer Ranjha, published in 1766) is thought to be based on the true story of two star-crossed lovers from the 16th century.

No one who followed him has yet been able to surpass the incredible poetic mould he created. Ibrat Nama and Ushtar Nama are two of his other well-known works. 

PLOT:

The plot revolves around two lovers: Heer, a beautiful girl from a wealthy Jaat family, and Ranjha, a poor farm boy.

RANJHA : 

Dheedo, a young man from the Ranjha clan, once lived in Takht Hazara village. He was the youngest son of a wealthy landowner, and as such, he was somewhat spoiled. He spent his days lazing in the sun and playing his flute, rather than working.

Sadly, his father passed away eventually, and the sons split the land among themselves. When the land was divided, the older brothers gave Ranjha the worst, least fertile portion because they didn't think much of the youngest. For a while, Ranjha made an effort to work his land, but in vain. He took his flute and left Takht Hazara out of disgust.

Ranjha was used to living comfortably on his family's property, so it was difficult for him to eke out a living by begging for scraps, which he did not always succeed in doing. He must, however, have had good intentions because heaven took care of him.

HEER : 

Heer, a stunning woman from Jhang, West Punjab, was born into a prosperous Sial clan family. Sials are a Rajput clan that originated in West Punjab's Jhang region and built the city of Sialkot


LOVE STORY :

Ranjha departs from home and travels to Jhang after receiving a reprimand from his brothers. Chaudhary Chuchak, the father of Heer, offers Ranjha a position herding his cattle. Heer captures his heart in this place. He also mesmerizes her with his flute playing, and she develops feelings for him.

Every day, Heer spent the entire day in the forest with Ranjha, bringing him milk and bread or desserts and rice. She neglected her housework, and all of her female friends. Within a short time, rumors started to circulate. 

For many years, they meet in secret before being discovered by Heer's mother Malki and her uncle Kaido.

As a result, Heer was forced to marry another man, and Ranjha left to resume his wanderings until he found refuge in the shelter of a yogi (mystic saint). 

Heer, on the other hand, refused to accept another man as her husband. Se severed ties with her family and wrote to Ranjha, begging her to return to her. Ranjha returned to Jhang and eloped with Heer, as per his ladylove's wishes.

The Khaira riders apprehend the eloping couple and mercilessly beat Ranjha. The couple is brought before Raja Adali of Qubala, who demands that Ranjha be executed. 

Heer's uncle Kaidu also came to testify against Ranjha, but Chaudhary Chuchak sided with the lovers. Raja Adali, on the advice of elders, orders Saida to divorce Heer in order for her to marry Ranjha.


TRAGIC END :

The couple returns to Heer's village, where Heer's parents approve of their marriage. Kaido, on the other hand, poisons her on the wedding day. When Ranjha learns of this, she rushes to Heer's aid, but it is too late; she has already consumed the poison and died. Ranjha, brokenhearted, eats the remaining poisoned Mithai (sweet) and dies by her side.

Heer and Ranjha are buried in Jhang, Heer's hometown. Visitors to their mausoleum include smitten couples and others.

Today, the graves of Heer and Ranjha are sought after by young lovers who want to marry the person of their choice. They pray by tying threads at the dargah's iron gates.

Love story of Zal and Rudabeh



SUMMARY
 :                                                   
 Rudabeh, the daughter of Mehrab, who is the grandson of the demonic Zahhak, and Zal, the son of Sam, fall in love. Sam and Manuchehr initially oppose the union due to Rudabeh's connection to Zahhak, but they eventually change their minds after hearing a prophecy that Zal and Rudabeh will have a son to protect Persia who will be the most glorious son ever born.

 


The story of The Shahnameh is told through a series of miniature paintings. The miniatures shown here depict one of the story's most popular scenes: Rudabeh letting down her hair for Zal to climb.



One of the most well-known love tales in Persian mythology is that of Zal, the king of Sistan, and Rudabeh, the princess of Karbol. The story is taken from Ferdowsi's epic poem The Shahnameh, which he wrote between 977 and 1010 CE in Persia.

According to the myth, Zal had heard tales of a stunning princess with dark ringlets that reached all the way to her feet. He fell in love with Rubadeh, the princess, because of these tales. Rudabeh had also heard tales of Zal's incredible strength. The princess was intrigued and developed feelings for him.

Zal convinced his father that he wished to travel to meet the lovely princess. However, Zal's father had some bad news for her: she was a descendant of the evil serpent King Zahhak, a family enemy. Zal, however, ignored his father and travelled to her castle, determined to meet her.

Zal arrived at the foot of the castle one night after a long and perilous journey. Rudabeh noticed Zal and, in an attempt to hide his presence from the guards, let her hair down like Rapunzel for him to climb up.Once they were together, they realised their love was genuine. Their families then put their differences aside and approved the couple's marriage. 

Rudabeh's father, Kabul's King Mehrab, was an idol worshipper and the grandson of the evil Zahhk. When Iran's king, Manuchehr, learned of Zl's desire to marry Rudabeh, he refused to grant permission. Because King Manuchehr and Mehrab were mortal enemies, they had an excuse to go to war.

However, the Kabul and Iranian priests who read the stars foresaw a blessed union between Zal and Rudabeh just before war was declared.

"A powerful son will be born from Zl and Rudabeh's union. superior to any warrior who came before him. He will be the most well-known and unbeatable defender in Iran "they announced.

When the kings learned this, they both gave their blessings and consented to permit the young couple to get married. In a lovely ceremony, Zl and Rudabeh were wed in Kabul.

After a long labour, Rudabeh gave birth to a healthy son named Rostam, who later rose to fame as one of Iran's greatest warriors.

Facts about Dogs

 Dogs are wonderful because they give us love, companionship, and are always there for us. But did you know that dogs are much more complex than first appears?

🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕

Do you believe you have a complete understanding of dogs? Rethink that! Check out these intriguing details you might not have known:

🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮

🐶It has been evidenced that they can distinguish between an hour and five. They can forecast future events, such as regular walk times, if trained to do so.

🐶🐶Your dog can detect your emotions. In fact, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they can smell things like fear. When a person is afraid, they perspire, and a dog can easily detect this change.

🐶🐶🐶Dogs rely heavily on their sense of smell to find food, so they sniff a lot. Their noses are designed to allow smells to remain in their noses while air moves in and out of their lungs at the same time, allowing them to breathe freely while still determining what that smell is!

🐶🐶🐶🐶Dogs do perspire, but don't anticipate seeing damp armpits any time soon. Whereas humans produce a watery sweat to cool off, dogs produce an oily sweat that is pheromone-rich but invisible to humans (dogs can smell it because they have such keen senses of smell). Dogs only perspire like humans on their paws, so they pant to cool off instead. Because of this, it's crucial to keep your dog cool on hotter days to make things easier for them.

🐶🐶🐶Dalmatian puppies are born entirely white and gradually acquire spots as they age.

🐶🐶Petting a dog can improve both your physical and mental health. Petting a dog for few minutes has been shown in studies to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, depression, and combat loneliness.

🐶Researchers discovered that dogs' sleep patterns and brain activity are similar to humans', and that small breeds dream more than large breeds.

🐶🐶You would assume that if your dog is excited to see you, it will wag its tail in greeting. No, not always. Dogs wag their tails to the right when they're happy and to the left when they're scared, according to Discovery.com. Low tail wags indicate insecurity, while quick tail wags accompanied by tense muscles or dilated pupils may indicate aggression.

🐶🐶🐶Dogs can hear much higher frequencies than humans, but did you know they can also hear further? Dogs, in general, can hear much softer sounds than humans, allowing them to hear things that are much further away.

🐶🐶🐶🐶The Saluki is the oldest breed of dog in existence. They can be found in Egyptian tombs from 2100 B.C.
