“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

The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot

Hello Friends,  This blog is my response to the task assigned to us by our Prof.Dr.DilipSir, Head of the Department, M. K. Bhavnagar University. So friends read, understand and enjoy. Happy Learning! ☆Nihilism in T.S. Eliot’s 'The Wasteland' Chapter 1 Introduction Nihilism is a very popular concept in English Literature and many authors have taken Nihilism as a theme in many of their works. The word Nihilism has long history. The word Nihilism is the resultant of the Latin phrase ‘Nihil’, which means anything does not exist. This term grew to be preferred with the newsletter of Ivan Turgenev’s novel Fathers and sons (1862) the place he used nihilism to explain the basic and rudimentary scientism supported by way of this character Bazarov who sermonizes a statement of belief of total negation. There are a couple of interpretations of the phrase Nihilism, as many critics have stated about Nietzsche that he believed within the literal dying of god. Nietzsche in lots of his works e...

Post Colonialism

Respected Sir,              This blog is my response to the task assigned to us about the Postcolonialism Today and the key ideas discussed by Bill Ashcroft.                       First of all I would like to say thank you to our Professor Dr.Dilip Barad Sir for giving us this wonderful opportunity to attend the session of Bill Ashcroft and many more such educational sessions for a better knowledge and experience.                                  Postcolonialism is constantly changing and developing. Post colonial theory is that branch of contemporary theory that investigates and develops prepositions about the cultural and political impact of European Conquest upon colonized societies and the nature of those society's responses. So there's two aspects to it. It's the analysis of the impact of European co...

Macbeth

Hello Friends,               This blog is my response to the task assigned to us by our Prof. Dr.Dilip Baradsir in thinking activity about Macbeth.  Here let's have a look at  "Macbeth" from Australian adaptation of William Shakespeare. It was directed by Geoffrey Wright, filmed in Melbourne and Victoria, was released in Australia on 21 September 2006. Wright and Hill wrote the script, which although it uses a modern day Melbourne gangster setting - largely maintains the language of the original play. 'Macbeth' was selected to screen at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2006.              In a cemetery the Weird sisters, three school girl witches, are destroying and defacing headstones and statues, which close by Lady Macbeth weeps beside a headstone marked "beloved son" and Macbeth stands by. The three witches plan to meet with Macbeth later, and leave the cemetery.      ...
