“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...

An Artist of the Floating World, Novel

  Hello Friends,  This blog is my response to the task given to us by our Prof. Dr. DilipSir in thinking activity on the novel "An Artist of the Floating World". Happy Learning! R: Read U: Understand  L: Learn  E: Enjoy ☆ SIGNIFICANCE   OF LANTERNS IN THE NOVEL • 'Lantern' 🏮appears 34 times in the novel. Even on the cover page, the image of the lanterns is displayed.  Lanterns in the novel are associated with  Ono’s  teacher  Mori-san , who includes a lantern in each of his paintings and dedicates himself to trying to capture the look of lantern light. For Mori-san, the flickering, easily extinguished quality of lantern light symbolizes the transience of beauty and the importance of giving careful attention to small moments and details in the physical world. Lanterns, then, symbolize an outlook on life which prizes small details and everyday moments above the ideological concerns of nationalists or commercial concerns of businesspeople. It i...
