CHARACTER SKETCH OF BINYA
Binya is the most important character of the
novel 'The Blue Umbrella' by Ruskin Bond. Her complete name is Binyadevi. As in
the hills in India, it is a sort of tendency to call children with their short
names. Binya's sibling's name is Bijju, while his actual name is Vijay.
Binya is kind hilly girl with age of eleven.
She lives with her little family in the hills of Garhwal. Her dad passed on
when she was two years old. For food, they have three small terraced fields, on
which they grow potatoes, onions, ginger, beans, mustard and maize. They don't
sell the vegetables on the market yet save it for themselves. They additionally
have two cows and the additional milk they offer to other people. Self-food is
their essential goal of life, not cash making. Binya's sibling Bijju goes to
class. Unfortunately, she doesn't go to any school; rather she cares for the
two cows: Neelu and Gori.
Binya loves roving over the mountains and in
the far off valleys. She isn't anxious about dimness, backwoods, and climbing
the trees. She cherishes opportunity too, subsequently at whatever point cows
go out with her, she never shouts at them nor control them going to a great
extent. Indeed, she appears to be lost in herself.
One day when she goes over certain picnickers
from the city, she understands that city people have distinctive sort of way of
life and satisfaction. They are rich and have great things, similar to blue
umbrella. It is pitiful to take note of that city people viewed her as a
helpless young lady since she was wearing torn garments. She takes a gander at
them from a good ways, it implies she doesn't care for being with individuals.
Frequently hilly people don't favor blending in the group. Additionally, she
feels anxious when she is at marketplace. Binya isn't eager: that we can say
when city people attempted to get her tiger claw pendant for five rupees.
Rather she decided to have that blue umbrella for that tiger claw pendant.
One more part of Binya is that she is a
compassionate person. She permits the children of the town to hold her umbrella
for a brief time. At one occurrence when Bijju offers her berries, she allows
him to hold the blue umbrella. One breezy evening when her umbrella gets
snatched up by the breeze into a ravine, she cautiously with a decent good judgment
follows it and gets it out from the cherry tree. Clearly, she wasn't anxious
about anything.
Her relationship with Ram Bharosa, the
shopkeeper, the tea shop owner, turns sour when he attempts to contain her blue
umbrella by an unfair way. After that episode Ram Bharosa's shop business
decays and Binya feels liable for his misfortune. She reproaches herself for
displaying the umbrella over-the-cutoff and it caused greed in Ram Bharosa.
Henceforth, she gifts the blue umbrella to him, so that people can again begin
going to his shop.
Going to her looks, Binya is reasonable,
bold, fair and durable with dark hair and eyes. She sports a little braid.
However Binya is a ordinary girl, as the majority of the youngsters her age,
yet her ethics like empathy and charity and strength makes her stand apart from
the group.
CHARACTER
SKETCH OF RAM BHAROSA
Ram Bharosa, his name signifies
'trustworthy'. He is a businessperson, presumably moderately aged, not
exceptionally old. He runs a tea shop on Tehri road, however he also sells
curd, sodas, toffees, etc, primarily food things. One time each day, a bus
halts by his shop and travelers drink tea or gulp curd. Definitely, he is the
most extravagant man in the village. Be that as it may, simultaneously he is
greedy as well. He frequently let individuals or students assume things on
praise and at the hour of estimation, he charges them extra and when they can't
pay he grabs a portion of their significant stuff for his own utilization or to
sell at his shop.
Anyway Binya and her sibling Bijju don't
succumb to his antics. They are careful of him. Ram Bharosa is greedy for the
blue umbrella, he needs to have it; hence he offers a cost of twelve rupees to
Binya yet without any result. At whatever point he sees Binya passes by the
shop, he attempts to draw her however without any result. He becomes sad upon
his status. Soon after monsoon he keeps a kid named Rajaram from an adjoining
town as a right hand at is shop. Rajaram being smart promises him to steal the
umbrella for him at the expense of three rupees. To this Ram Bharosa, concurs
hesitatingly.
In
opposition to their arrangement, while stealing the umbrella he catches up on
the latest. The word spread in the village that Ram Bharosa attempted to have
that umbrella persuasively, with unscrupulous techniques. Individuals quit
going to his shop, as in the hills trustworthiness is perhaps the most
compensated virtue, and he annoyed it. Kids teased him by saying – the
turstworthy thief.
After
seeing Ram Bharosa's hopeless state, Binya chooses to help him. Consequently,
one day she gifts him the umbrella and leaves. This helps in improving on his
picture in the village. To return this blessing, Ram Bharosa gets made a
pendant of bear's claw and gifted her, which is viewed as considerably more
fortunate than that of panther or tiger.
Eventually, we see that it is Binya's empathy
and kindness that assist with Ram Bharosa recover his independent company of
shop. Then again, taking in the illustration from the little kid Binya, Ram
Bharosa gets back on the track of trustworthiness.
CHARACTER
SKETCH OF BIJJU
The
Blue Umbrella by Ruskin Bond is a well known novel highlighting Binya and her
senior sibling Bijju. The novel spins around Binya and her little excellent
blue umbrella; but we likewise see some other intriguing characters like,
Bijju, Ram Bharosa, and a kid named Rajaram.
In this post, we will discuss Bijju, the
third primary person of the book. Bijju's actual name is Vijay Kumar, however
in the lower regions of Himalaya it is a custom to call individuals by their
nicknames, for Binyadevi it is Binya, and for Vijay Kumar it is Bijju.
Bijju
is a twelve-year-old kid and wears a leopard claw in his neck like his more
youthful sister Binya, who is ten years of age. However we see that there is
great arrangement and love among sister sibling, still they contrast in their
disposition. Binya is kind to the cows Neelu and Gori, while Bijju is somewhat
hot-tempered kid. Thus, at whatever point it's dull he herds the cows energetically
for home. Then again, Binya and Bijju share viands to one another. This is
apparent when Bijju imparts his blue berries to Binya. Likewise, they regularly
visit Ram Bharosa's little shop to purchase toffees or something to eat.
One more part of Bijju is that he goes to
class each day that shows he is capable and checks out training. Like Binya, or
say some other hilly children, Bijju also is a daring kid. He isn't
apprehensive about haziness, dim wildernesses, wild creatures, snakes, and he
is absolutely resistant honey bees. Four years prior he separated one bee
colony, accordingly he was stung be honey bees all around his body. Since that
day he's become immune to honey bees.
Going
to his social obligations, he works lands during monsoon to sow rice. At the
point when he isn't going school during rainy season, he offers milk to a
couple of people in the town. Binya and Bijju are illegitimate, and Bijju knows
about this reality some place. He does nothing that inconveniences the two his
mom and Binya. He doesn't avoid dealing with his mom and more youthful sister.
At the point when Rajaram, the kid who works for Ram Bharosa, takes and
attempts to flee with the blue umbrella of Binya, it's Bijju who chases him and
gets the umbrella back.
However the novel is based around Binya and
her lovely blue umbrella, Bijju's considerable person offers back help to the
general story.
THE
BLUE UMBRELLA- BOOK REVIEW
The
Blue Umbrella has accumulated immense acclaim from readers. This is a short
novel, however the sort of moral examples it educates to us are essentially
overpowering.
This is an account of Binya, a helpless
little girl living with her mom and a sibling, Bijju, in a little hilly village
of Garhwal. At some point while crowding her two cows back home, she
coincidentally finds some city people enjoying the picnic in the valley. She is
captivated to see them all around prepped and rich. She wants to be one like
them and among numerous different things of their, a blue frilly umbrella grabs
her eye. She starts wanting for it. Then again, the city individuals get drawn
in by her honest excellence and the pendant in her neck. The pendant comprises
of leopard's claw – which is viewed as a mascot generally in the hills. Binya
compromises her pendant with the blue umbrella.
The
blue umbrella is such a lot of wonderful that soon it turns into a subject of
discussion for villagers and kids love her umbrella such a lot of that each
time they feel like to touch or hold it. Binya is on seventh heaven of ecstasy
and seldom closes this is on the grounds that she accepts it looks charming
when it is opened.
Ram
Bharosa runs a little shop where he sells food things, grocery, and soda pops
without a refrigerator. He is so much begrudged by the umbrella that he chooses
to claim it at any condition. Thus, he extends a proposition for purchasing the
umbrella from Binya. However, she denies the deal. The refusal turns him off.
Very soon, he employs a kid from the adjoining village to work at his shop. The
kid being faithful to him takes the umbrella from Binya when she is out in the
wilderness gathering porcupines’ quills.
Amusingly, the kid is caught by Bijju. At the
point when the kid uncovers Ram Bharosa's name behind the taking, the locals
exclude him and furthermore quit visiting his shop. Subsequently, Ram Bharosa
experiences a misfortune and his vocation comes nearly end.
Binya
has a pitiful outlook on Ram Bharosa's circumstance and she rebukes herself for
his suffering. Then, she gives her umbrella to Ram Bharosa. Consequently, Ram
gifts her pendant with a bear's claw in it, which is viewed as considerably
more fortunate than of leopard's.
The story is short and simple yet exquisitely
touches the center part of mankind - generosity. Through Binya Ruskin ingrains
a feeling of generosity among kids. It is an astonishing read for all.
