“People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state-it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or a spectacle.... Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions.

- Abraham Joshua Heschel


In our department various celebrations take place every now and then. But interesting thing is that the celebrations are not always for fun and entertainment but to learn something from each and every celebration. Academic Workshops are also part of academic life. They are important events where we learn something from guest speakers and experts. This is how we learn from the journey of our study life in department, which is not always boring but these celebrations make our life more memorable and meaningful, more beautiful and fruitful. 


All these events in academic life teach us to do team work effectively. We learn something new every time when we do some activities or just by being a part of the celebration. These celebrations help us to make our journey interesting. We learn to overcome the challenges that come our way and thus making each and every event more and more worthwhile. 


Celebrations are an important part of not only academic life but also of our normal life apart of education. Celebrations are important in life in a sense that they help us to keep going with more zest and enthusiasm. They are like power boosters that help us to accelerate the journey of normal life. Life is a celebrations of happy and sad events. Even exams are part of celebrations, that's why it's told "Enjoy Exams", truly exams are for limited period in life but real exam begins just after our completion of official education. So, these celebrations help us to lighten the tensed atmosphere and help us to cheer up our mood like little sunshine after rain. 


"Without true celebration discipline is obnoxious."

- Adi Da Samraj

Marxist Criticism & Feminist Criticism

Hello Friends,  This blog is my response to the task assigned to us by our Prof. Dr.DilipSir on Marxist and Feminist Criticism. So, read, understand and enjoy. Happy Learning! MARXIST CRITICISM What Marxist critics do 1. They make a division between the 'overt' (manifest or surface) and 'covert' (latent or hidden) content of a literary work (much as psychoanalytic critics do) and then relate the covert subject matter of the literary work to basic Marxist themes, such as class struggle, or the progression of society through various historical stages, such as, the transition from feudalism to industrial capitalism. Thus, the conflicts in King Lear might be read as being 'really' about the conflict of class interest between the rising class (the bourgeoisie) and the falling class (the feudal overlords).  2. Another method used by Marxist critics is to relate the context of a work to the social-class status of the author. In such cases an assumption is made (which a...

A Brief Note on Translation

Khushbu Lakhupota  MA Semester 4 Paper 208 Comparative Literature & Translation Studies   Written Assignment  A Brief Note on Translation  Batch 2020-2022 Submitted to: Department of English, MKBU. khushbu22jan93@gmail.com  18 March 2022, Friday  Translation is the bridge and the road that connects to the world of knowledge. Translation study makes the writers work known beyond their own linguistic boundaries. To achieve a high standard in Translation and faithful to the original text one has to take note of the linguistic problems and refer to the theoretical components. Many writers have formulated theories of Translation and established the principles for the Translators. Problem of Equivalence is a major concern in any theory of translation. Translation equivalence is a semiotic category comprising syntactic, and semantic components. Translators must study the translation theories that can be used as a guideline for the production of translation. Se...

Wide Sargasso Sea Novel by Jean Rhys

Hello Friends,  This blog is my response to the task assigned to us by our teacher YeshaMa'am on the novel Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. So, read, understand and enjoy. Happy Learning! "Our parrot was called Coco, a green parrot. He didn't talk very well, he could say Qui est la? Qui est la? And answer himself Che Coco, Che Coco. After Mr. Mason clipped his wings he grew very bad tempered. . . .    I opened my eyes, everybody was looking up and pointing at Coco on the glacis railings with his feathers alight. He made an effort to fly down but his clipped wings failed him and he fell screeching. He was all on fire." Antoinette's story begins when she is a young girl in early nineteenth- century Jamaica. The white daughter of ex-slave owners, she lives on a run-down plantation called Coulibri Estate. Five years have passed since her father, Mr. Cosway, reportedly drunk himself to death, his finances in ruins after the passage of the Emancipation Act of  1833 , whi...
