The main topic of this book is arranged marriage. So it is self explanatory to indicate what this book is about. There is quite a bit of doubt and confusion in the west; how the people in India get married through arranged marriage system without seeing or knowing the spouse. The arranged marriage is a contract of co-existence for life signed in the presence of the guardians of faith, guardians and guarantors of contract and well wishers. We take marriage for granted without knowing the intricacies of married life. It is not so. To stay married is the highest priority of life. It is much higher than signing a contract to get a job and make money and even obeying the faith values, because the faith can be achieved through values and love of married life. In arranged marriage the necessities of life are taken into consideration not the enjoyment for a few days. It is a contract signed in good faith. The acceptance of the spouse is the most important factor for the marriage to last forever. This factor is drilled into the couple by the elders to realize the requirements of the spouse. Realizing and fulfilling those requirements makes the marriage last forever. There are some other short stories in the book. Most of those stories are true but some are imaginary as well. So read it and find out what the writer is trying to convey and justify.

The visual images of Queen Elizabeth I displayed in contemporary portraits and perpetuated and developed in more recent media, such as film and television, make her one of the most familiar and popular of all British monarchs. This collection of essays examines the diversity of the queen’s extensive iconographical repertoire, focusing on both visual and textual representations of Elizabeth, not only in portraiture and literature, but also in contemporary sermons, speeches and alchemical treatises. The collection broadens current critical thinking about Elizabeth, as each of the essays contributes to the debate about the ways in which the queen’s developing iconicity was not simply a celebratory mode, but also encoded criticism of her. Each of these essays explains the ways in which the varied representations of Elizabeth reflect the political and cultural anxieties of her subjects
