Tutankhamun, colloquially known as King Tut, was the 12th pharaoh of the 18th Egyptian dynasty, in power from approximately 1332 to 1323 B.C.E. After his death at age 19, King Tut disappeared from history until the discovery of his tomb in 1922.

Villagers were so excited to see a person like Ranappa who had gone to city for his higher stuy because they though that there would be change in his body style but when they saw rangappa same as he was. As we all know that when we study there may be change in mind but there would be no change in body style. So after seeing him same as he was, everyone return back to home.So because of this the villager were disappointed.

The three phases of the author's relationship with his grandmother before he left the country to study abroad are :-

• 1. CHILDHOOD = When he went to the village school and the grandmother helped him to get ready and went to school with him.
• 2. BOYHOOD = When he went to the city school in a bus he shared a room with his grandmother but she could not longer help him in his studies.
• 3. EARLY YOUTH = When he went to the university and was given a room of his own. The common link of friendship was snapped.

The narrator’s uncle was considered to be a crazy man. Actually, he was the natural descendant of the crazy streak in the family. He was a huge and powerful man. He had a big strong head with black hair. He was a man of furious nature. He was short tempered and of irritable nature. He would not let anybody talk before him. He would stop him shouting. “It is no harm ; pay no attention to it.”

The narrator of Ranga’s Marriage thinks that English language has entered the lives of the common people and is held in high esteem by the villagers.

People use certain English words while speaking in their daily language which creates confusion in many cases.

He finds it disgraceful to include English words while speaking Kannada.

The astrologer had been briefed and tutored by Shyama about what to say. He did the same. He pretended to do some calculations in front of Ranga and concluded that a girl was responsible for Ranga’s present condition and the girl’s name perhaps was similar to that of some things found in ocean, such as Ratan or Kamala. Ranga was already interest in Ratna. In this way the astrologer planed an important role in bringing about the marriage of Ranga with Ratna as he helped the narrator who made Ranga admit his love for Ratna. The astrologer gave Ranga confidence that it was possible to marry the girl he was thinking of.

The narrator felt that Ranga and Ratna was a suitable match for each other. He arranged a meeting in which Ranga could meet Ratna and get impressed with her quality of singing. He manipulated things in a clever way and made Ranga fall in love with her. He finally got them married.

Ranga believes that one should only say yes to a marriage when he has a right girl who is mature enough to understand the concept of marriage without showing immaturity every now and then.

It is important to marry a girl who is admired by the man to maintain a civil and happy relationship.

'Ranga's marriage is a story narrated in a hilarious style. The narrator's pride in his native village provides a lot of fun. His rampant description of his village and his digression from the main topic is not at all boring, but brings a smile to the lips of the reader. His description of the special mango of his village and the big leaf of a water plant, all strike a humorous cord.

The narrator describes the crowd in the house of Ranga in a very funny way. He laughs at the pretense of the modern English speaking generation and their inability to communicate with the common people of the village through the episode of the village woman mistaking her customer when he asks her for 'change'. 

When he starts his manipulation of Ranga, it is very hilarious at every stage. When he traps the modern Ranga into seeing Ratna and falling for her, the reader cannot but laugh. The way the narrator manipulates the astrologer is again very humorous. When Ranga falls into his trap and marries the young Ratna, contrary to all his modern ideas, the reader cannot but laugh out loud.

"Ranga's marriage is a story that offers a good laugh through out its length.

ln the story "Ranga's Marriage" written by" Masti Venkatesha Lyengar "
The narrator wants Ranga to be married with Ratna

The narrator take the help of the story in which a hegoat scare the lion by his cleverness so narrator also trapped Ranga and get him married with Ratna with his cleverness .
As the Lion trapped by hegoat and so narrator do with Ranga so he compares Ranga to the the lion.

All steps taken by the narrator for Ranga's Marriage are perfectly planned & finally he succeeded in his plans .

Shastri the astrologer was a good friend of the narrator.  Before taking Ranga to the astrologer, the narrator met him and taught him about the plan.  According Shastri told Ranga that he loves a girl whose name starts with the letter R and her name resembles something found in an ocean.  When Ranga started thinking about Ratna, he motivated him by saying that he would surely be able to marry that girl.  He added that as per his stars, the girl was the solution to all his problems.

No. Ranga did not select his bride according to the new fangled ideas on marriage he had acquired. He fell in love for an eleven-year-old girl Ratna and married her.

The narrator is proud of his village. He reveals his pride in his small village Hosahalli when he speaks glowingly of it. If the state of Mysore is to Bharatvarsha what the sweet ‘Karigadabu’ is to a festive meal, then Hosahalli is to Mysore State what the filling is to ‘Karigadabu’.

Hosahalli is neither mentioned by the English experts, nor by the Indians. As a result, Hosahalli is not in geography books or atlases.

English sahibs had no idea that such a place exists in India. Eventually, our own Indian geographers also forgot to mention it. When both sahibs and geographers forgot to mention the place on a map, it is vain to even think that cartographer would remember it.

The narrator asked Rama Rao’s wife (Ratna’s aunt) to send her to his house to get some buttermilk. When Ratna came, he sent for Ranga. He asked Ratna to sit for a while and sing a song. Ranga came for while she was singing. His curiosity and interest were roused.

When Ranga returned from Bangalore, people came to see Ranga out of curiosity. He had gone to Bangalore to study. There he studied for six months and returned with a great knowledge of English. The curious villagers collected around his house to observe whether his education had changed him. But everyone was surprised to see that Ranga was the same as he had been six months ago when he had first left their village. One old lady commented that he had not changed his caste in six months after feeling the sacred thread still on his chest.

Answer:
Ranga possessed certain qualities that endeared him to Shyama, the narrator. Ranga was well educated, he respected the traditions. He bent low to touch Shyama’s feet. He did not remove his sacred thread.

The narrator decided Ranga should marry Ratna. He arranged that Ranga should hear Ratna sing and get a glimpse of her. He made Ranga think she was out of reach for him. Then he arranged with the astrologer to tell him that he could get the girl he liked. Ranga and Ratna were married.

Happy means Khushi( Matlab ki agar Khushi mil jaye na to Puri duniya aachi lagne lag jati h)

Or jiska teeth ni hote?

Happy mtlb hota ha aapke pass jitane theeth ha sabka use karoo......!! Just kidding...?it is a feeling..?

happy means?

Thanks ☺
