Now I am giving list of the person who made my village Proud:
My village has some special festivals like:
Adjoined photo is late Shri Damji Sheth. Best thing about him is that he had best knowledge of Ayurveda and voluntarily he had made treatment and also saved life. He had best knowledge of Indian Classical Music and had attended several such type of musical events. Other best thing was that he was purely KHADI-Dhari and full life he wore only khadi. He was impressed with Mahatma Gandhiji, and had participated freedom movement in Kutch and Bombay.
Late Sheth Shri Velji Sheth(Velubha) is name of wisdom and if in Mangwana in the past if anybody took his name, it no doubtedly meant only man as ANUBHAVI and best friend of justice. He was GOD gifted with full courage and was a best adviser.
NOW I WANT TO SAY ABOUT MY GRAND MA.(MY GRANDMOTHER:)
As per one Gujarat poem it is like this JANNI JOD NAHI MALE RE LOL
It meant that we will never get alternate of mother Reveres side is photo of my loving grand mother with paper reading.
It is very surprise to say that during childhood and even after her marriage she was unlitreture.She was not knowing about alphabets on any local language but as time pass and she saw huge no of news papers and magazine at her home she took interest to understand about words of Gujarati language and sue to brilliant mind and practice she became high literate and at the age of 40 she was able to read news papers. Side photo shows about her interest in reading and every day she spent few hours for reading day to day news and magazine. It is also surprise to say that as she like to read religious articles in news après and holly magazines but in absence of such type of literature she like to read topics on current affairs. We can see in this photo that she is reading One newspaper and at least 3-4 papers are surrounding 2-3 magazines are also with her. This photo was taken when she was 75+. As per my knowledge such type of incident notice very rare and that is why I like to share my views about my grandmother who was expired when she was 95+
