The film revolves around Murugan, his birth, marriage and his acceptance of the post of the head of the army of heaven. In Hinduism, there are six abodes of lord Muruga, known as the "Arupadaiveedu". The story behind each of the abodes are portrayed chronologically in the film. It starts with Swamimalai, where Lord Muruga teaches the meaning of the word 'OM' to his father, Shiva. He goes to Palani Hills after a fight over a sacred fruit, that is his second abode. Then he wins over the demon king Surapadman in Thiruchendur and that is his third abode. The King of heaven, Indra offers his daughter's hand in appreciation of Lord Muruga's victory and he marries her in Thirupparamkunram, his fourth abode. He later marries Valli in his fifth abode of Thiruthani, later after a short dispute between both his wives they amicably settle in Pazhamudircholai, his sixth abode. All the events are summarised by Nakkeerar, a great Tamil poet portrayed by Sirkazhi Govindarajan at the end of the film.

Tamil is one of the longest-surviving classical languages in the world. A. K. Ramanujan described it as "the only language of contemporary India which is recognizably continuous with a classical past". The variety and quality of classical Tamil literature has led to it being described as "one of the great classical traditions and literatures of the world". Recorded Tamil literature has been documented for over 2000 years. The earliest period of Tamil literature, Sangam literature, is dated from c. 300 BC until AD 300. It has the oldest extant literature among Dravidian languages. The earliest epigraphic records found on rock edicts and 'hero stones' date from around the 3rd century BC. About 60,000 of the 100,000 odd inscriptions found by the Archaeological Survey of India in India are in Tamil Nadu. Of them, most are in Tamil, with only about 5 percent in other languages. Tamil language inscriptions written in Brahmi script have been discovered in Sri Lanka and on trade goods in Thailand and Egypt.The two earliest manuscripts from India, acknowledged and registered by the UNESCO Memory of the World register in 1997 and 2005, were written in Tamil.

In 1578, Portuguese Christian missionaries published a Tamil prayer book in old Tamil script named Thambiran Vanakkam, thus making Tamil the first Indian language to be printed and published. The Tamil Lexicon, published by the University of Madras, was one of the earliest dictionaries published in Indian languages. According to a 2001 survey, there were 1,863 newspapers published in Tamil, of which 353 were dailies.

the best innings he has played for India

Rohit Sharma: I was in the dressing room. I don't have any words left. You got to expect something like this in a game like this. We wanted to stay in the game for as long as possible. That crucial partnership was the game-changing moment for us. The pitch had something in it. There was nice carry. Some swing and seam. Good to see from the bowling perspective. They had a good partnership (Iftikhar and Masood) after that.

They batted well towards the end as well. But we knew we had to bat out of our skin to chase this. Those two guys (Kohli and Pandya) are experienced. Staying calm and taking the game deep was very critical. Good for our confidence. Always crucial to get off the mark like this. We were in no position to win this. The way we won that's more pleasing for us. Hats off to Virat for the way he batted, has to be the best innings he has played for India. I would like to thank everyone, it's wonderful to see. Their support for us is very, very crucial wherever we go.

Babar Azam: Our bowlers bowled really well. All credit to Kohli and Pandya. It wasn't easy with the new ball. We had partnerships after 10 overs. We had a chance. We tried to stick to our plans. But credit to Virat Kohli. In the middle we decided we wanted a wicket and held the spinner back. We had a lot of positives. The way Iftikhar played and the way Shan played.

Virat Kohli | Player of the Match: It's a surreal atmosphere, I have no words, no idea how that happened. I am really lost for words. Hardik believed we can do it, if we stayed till the end. When Shaheen bowled from the pavilion end, that's when we decided to take him down. Haris is their prime bowler, and I hit those two sixes. The calculation was simple. Nawaz had one over to bowl, so if I could take Haris down, they would panic. From 28 in 8, it came down to 16 to 6. I tried to stick to my instincts. The first one was back of a hand slower ball (the one over long-on). Standing here I just feel like it was meant to be. Till today Mohali was my best innings against Australia. Today I will count this one higher. Hardik kept pushing me. The crowd has been phenomenal. You guys (fans) kept backing me and I am grateful for your support.

They are jumping on to Kohli. He has been engulfed by his mates. Rohit Sharma has lifted him on his arms and twirling him like a child. Is this the best T20 knock when there is so much of pressure? This is stuff of legends. It happens in fables and Bollywood potboilers when the hero comes out of nowhere to save the day. What a man! What a legend! Kohli seemed to be a little teary-eyed. India were dead and buried at 31 for 4. But Kohli and Pandya saw a few overs off. Then went for the attack after 10 overs and have managed to script something historic. But credit to Pakistan. They were ruffled early on but came back with the bat first in the second half and then carried the momentum when they had the ball in their hands. The seamers turned on the heat and Rohit and Rahul had no answers. SKY fizzled out too soon. Axar couldn't do what Nawaz did earlier in the Asia Cup.

History of Charminar Old City

History of Charminar

Charminar was built by Sultan Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah, the fifth ruler of the Qutb Shahi dynasty when he shifted his capital from Golconda to Hyderabad. The old city of Hyderabad was designed keeping Charminar as the centre of the city. The monument was built in order to commemorate the decision and eradication of plague from the city. It is known as Charminar as it is supported by four minarets on four sides.

Structure of Charminar

The Charminar is a square structure 20 meters in length from each side. It has four grand arches that face a fundamental point that open into four streets. There stands a 56 meters tall minaret at each corner with a double balcony. Each minaret has a dome on top with petal like designs at the base. You need to climb 149 steps to reach the upper floor. 

The structure is made of granite, mortar, marble and limestone. There is a mosque located at the western end of the open roof. You can get a bird's eye view of the city from the balconies of Charminar. The devout people could offer prayers in a very peaceful manner inside the mosque.

Facts about Charminar

According to many old tales, there seems to exist a secret tunnel between the Charminar which leads way to the Golconda Fort. Many people of also said that there might be treasures hidden there but no one has been able to locate any such thing till now. At present, there are many high-rise buildings in the city of Hyderabad, but at the time it was built, Charminar was the first multi-storeyed building in the city. An important fact about Charminar is that there is a cat's head that is designed in the apex of one of the small arches on the eastern side because cats help in keeping away rats and rats once almost destroyed Hyderabad.

ابوبکر عبداللہ ابن عثمان ابی قحافہ

ابوبکر عبداللہ ابن عثمان ابی قحافہ (عربی: أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَبْدُ ٱللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، رومانوی: ابو بکر عبداللہ بن عثمان ابی قحافہ، 53 اگست 3 سے بزرگ تھے) ان کی بیٹی عائشہ، [2] اسلامی پیغمبر محمد کے سسر، نیز اسلام کے پہلے خلیفہ۔ انہیں مسلمان اعزازی لقب الصدیق کے نام سے جانتے ہیں۔

راج کرنا 8 جون 632 - 23 اگست پیشرو قائم مقام جانشین عمر بن الخطاب پیدا ہونا 27 اکتوبر 573 مکہ، حجاز، عرب، (موجودہ سعودی عرب) مر گیا 23 اگست 634 (عمر 60 سال) مدینہ، حجاز، خلافت راشدین، (موجودہ سعودی عرب) کفن دفن مسجد نبوی، مدینہ شریک حیات قتیلہ [ج] ام رومان اسماء بنت عمیس حبیبہ بنت خارجہ مسئلہ دمہ عبدالرحمن عبداللہ عائشہ محمد ام کلثوم نام ابو بکر عبداللہ بن عثمان ابو قحافہ عربی: ابوبکر عبداللہ بن عثمان ابی قحافہ باپ ابو قحافہ ماں ام الخیر بھائیو معتق[d] Utaiq[e] قحافہ بہنیں باپ قریبہ ام عامر قبیلہ قریش (عوام کا دن) مذہب اسلام پیشہ تاجر پبلک ایڈمنسٹریٹر ماہر معاشیات

ابوبکر پہلے اسلام قبول کرنے والوں میں سے ایک بن گئے اور محمد کے کام کی حمایت میں اپنی دولت کا بڑے پیمانے پر حصہ ڈالا۔ وہ محمد کے قریبی ساتھیوں میں سے تھے،[3] مدینہ ہجرت پر ان کے ساتھ تھے اور ان کے متعدد فوجی تنازعات، جیسے کہ بدر اور احد کی لڑائیوں میں موجود تھے۔ 632 میں محمد کی وفات کے بعد، ابوبکر نے پہلے راشدین خلیفہ کے طور پر مسلم کمیونٹی کی قیادت سنبھالی۔ اپنے دور حکومت میں، اس نے متعدد بغاوتوں پر قابو پالیا، جنہیں اجتماعی طور پر ردا جنگوں کے نام سے جانا جاتا ہے، جس کے نتیجے میں وہ پورے جزیرہ نما عرب پر مسلم ریاست کی حکمرانی کو مضبوط اور وسیع کرنے میں کامیاب رہا۔ اس نے ہمسایہ ساسانی اور بازنطینی سلطنتوں میں ابتدائی دراندازی کا بھی حکم دیا، جو اس کی موت کے بعد کے سالوں میں، بالآخر فارس اور لیونٹ کی مسلمانوں کی فتوحات کی صورت میں نکلے۔ ابوبکر 2 سال، 2 ماہ اور 14 دن کے دور حکومت کے بعد بیماری کی وجہ سے انتقال کر گئے، وہ واحد خلیفہ راشدین تھے جو فطری وجوہات کی وجہ سے فوت ہوئے۔

ابوبکر کا پورا نام عبداللہ بن ابی قحافہ ابن عامر بن عمرو بن کعب بن سعد بن تیم بن مرہ بن کعب ابن لوی ابن غالب ابن فہر تھا۔ عربی میں عبد اللہ نام کا مطلب ہے "اللہ کا بندہ"۔ ان کے ابتدائی لقبوں میں سے ایک، اسلام قبول کرنے سے پہلے، عتیق تھا، جس کا مطلب ہے "بچایا ہوا"۔ محمد نے بعد میں یہ لقب دوبارہ دیا جب انہوں نے کہا کہ ابوبکر "عتیق" ہیں۔ محمد نے اسراء اور معراج کے واقعہ میں ان پر ایمان لانے کے بعد انہیں الصدیق (سچا) [2] کہا جب کہ دوسرے لوگ نہیں مانتے تھے، اور علی نے کئی بار اس لقب کی تصدیق کی۔ ہجرت کے واقعہ کے حوالے سے قرآن میں مبینہ طور پر انہیں "غار میں دو میں سے دوسرا" بھی کہا گیا ہے، جہاں وہ محمد کے ساتھ جبل ثور کے غار میں مکہ کی جماعت سے چھپ گئے تھے جو ان کے بعد بھیجی گئی تھی۔ 8]

ابوبکر مکہ میں 573 عیسوی میں قریش کے قبائلی اتحاد کے قبیلہ بنو تیم کے ایک امیر گھرانے میں پیدا ہوئے تھے۔ ان کے والد کا نام عثمان تھا اور کنیت ابو قحافہ تھی اور ان کی والدہ سلمہ بنت صخر تھیں جنہیں ام الخیر کا لقب دیا گیا تھا۔ اس نے اپنا ابتدائی بچپن اس وقت کے دوسرے عرب بچوں کی طرح ان بدویوں میں گزارا جو اپنے آپ کو اہل بعیر یعنی اونٹ کے لوگ کہتے تھے اور اونٹوں سے خاص لگاؤ ​​رکھتے تھے۔ اپنے ابتدائی سالوں میں وہ اونٹ کے بچھڑوں اور بکریوں کے ساتھ کھیلتا تھا، اور اونٹوں سے اس کی محبت کی وجہ سے اسے اونٹ کے بچھڑے کا باپ "ابوبکر" کا لقب ملا۔[10][11]

امیر مکہ کے تاجر خاندانوں کے دوسرے بچوں کی طرح ابوبکر بھی پڑھے لکھے تھے اور شاعری کا شوق پیدا کرتے تھے۔ وہ عکاز کے سالانہ میلے میں شرکت کرتا تھا اور شعری محفلوں میں شرکت کرتا تھا۔ اس کی یادداشت بہت اچھی تھی اور اسے عرب قبائل کے شجرہ نسب، ان کی کہانیوں اور ان کی سیاست کا بخوبی علم تھا[12]۔ ایک قصہ محفوظ ہے کہ ایک دفعہ جب وہ بچپن میں تھا تو اس کے والد اسے خانہ کعبہ لے گئے اور بتوں کے آگے نماز پڑھنے کو کہا۔ ان کے والد کسی اور کام کے لیے چلے گئے اور ابوبکر اکیلے رہ گئے۔ ابوبکر نے ایک بت سے مخاطب ہو کر کہا: اے میرے خدا، مجھے خوبصورت کپڑوں کی ضرورت ہے، وہ مجھے عطا فرما۔ بت لاتعلق رہا۔ پھر اس نے ایک اور بت سے مخاطب ہو کر کہا، "اے خدا، مجھے کوئی لذیذ کھانا دے، دیکھو کہ میں بہت بھوکا ہوں"۔ بت ٹھنڈا رہا۔ اس سے نوجوان ابوبکر کے صبر کا پیمانہ لبریز ہو گیا۔ اس نے ایک پتھر اٹھایا، اور ایک بت سے مخاطب ہو کر کہا، "یہاں میں ایک پتھر کو نشانہ بنا رہا ہوں، اگر تم خدا ہو تو اپنی حفاظت کرو"۔ ابوبکر نے بت پر پتھر مارا اور کعبہ سے باہر نکل گئے۔ قطع نظر، اس میں درج ہے کہ اسلام قبول کرنے سے پہلے، ابوبکر نے حنیف کے طور پر عمل کیا اور کبھی بتوں کی پوجا نہیں کی۔[14]

Abu Bakr became one of the first converts to Islam and extensively contributed his wealth in support of Muhammad's work. He was among Muhammad's closest companions,^[3] accompanying him on his migration to Medina and being present at a number of his military conflicts, such as the battles of Badr and Uhud.

Following Muhammad's death in 632, Abu Bakr succeeded the leadership of the Muslim community as the first Rashidun Caliph.^[4] During his reign, he overcame a number of uprisings, collectively known as the Ridda Wars, as a result of which he was able to consolidate and expand the rule of the Muslim state over the entire Arabian Peninsula. He also commanded the initial incursions into the neighbouring Sassanian and Byzantine empires, which in the years following his death, would eventually result in the Muslim conquests of Persia and the Levant. Abu Bakr died of illness after a reign of 2 years, 2 months and 14 days, the only Rashidun caliph to die of natural causes.

Batting Great Virat Kohli Will Become The First Indian to Play in 100 Matches

 Batting great Virat Kohli will become the first Indian cricketer to play in 100 matches in all three formats of the game on Sunday (August 28). The former captain is certain to take the field in the second match of the Asia Cup 2022 against arch-rivals Pakistan at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Kohli, 33, has so far played 102 Tests, 262 ODIs and 99 T20Is for India, scoring 8074, 12344 and 3308 runs respectively. The right-handed batter also has 70 international tons (27 in Tests, 43 in ODIs).

India's Group A match at Asia Cup 2022 against Pakistan tonight will be Kohli's 464th overall and 100th T20I. This edition of the continental tournament is being played in the shortest format, corresponding with the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia later this year.

Ross Taylor became the first player in the world to play 100 matches in all three formats. The former New Zealand captain achieved the feat in February 2020. The 38-year-old retired earlier this year after playing 112 Tests, 236 ODIs and 102 T20Is.

Virat Kohli, who last scored a century in November 2019, made his international debut on August 18, 2008 in an ODI against Sri Lanka. He first played a T20I for India on June 12, 2010 against Zimbabwe.

Kohli made his Test debut in 2011.[7] He reached the number one spot in the ICC rankings for ODI batsmen for the first time in 2013.[8] He has won Man of the Tournament twice at the ICC World Twenty20 (in 2014 and 2016).

Maine Coons Cats

                    Personality

Maine Coons are kittens in big cat suits, gentle giants who are playful well into old age, as well as jumbo-sized packages of loving devotion. Maine Coons can also be reserved around people with whom they’re not familiar, probably due to their jumbo-sized brains. Given time, however, even the most cautious adapt. This initial adjustment period is actually a decision-making process; Maine Coons are deciding if these new humans have proven themselves worthy of trust. As soon as they make up their minds, however, they form close bonds with the entire household and become loving and devoted.

Most want to be near you but not on your lap. They are true family members and participate in all family routines, whether watching you channel surf from the comfort of the couch, or following you from room to room. As befits a former seafarer, Maine Coons are fascinated by water, perhaps because their thick coats are water-repellent and won’t become annoyingly soaked as easily as a thinner coat would. Some will join their humans in the shower briefly, or at least walk around on the wet floor after you get out. They prefer to stand on the edge of the tub, however, and touch the water with a curious paw.

History 

This last story has at least a ring of truth. Seafarers who used cats to control rodent populations on their sailing ships probably brought some longhaired cats with them to the New World. Some of the cats went ashore when they reached the northeastern coast and established themselves on the farms and in the barns of the early settlers. Given Maine’s severe climate, those initial years must have been tough on cat and human alike. Only the breed’s strongest and most adaptable survived. Through natural selection, the Maine Coon developed into a large, rugged cat with a dense, water-resistant coat and a hardy constitution.
