“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

Midnight's Children: Film Adaptation

  Hello Friends,  This blog is my response to the task assigned to us by our Prof. Dr. DilipSir on Midnight's Children: Film Adaptation. So read, understand and enjoy. Happy Learning! Birth of a Nation, in the Words of Salman Rushdie To do cinematic justice to Salman Rushdie’s novel “Midnight’s Children,” it would take a razzle-dazzle entertainer with Bollywood flair and a literary bent, someone equally at home with comedy and allegory, ghosts and little snot-nosed boys, Indian history and Indian myth. In short, through some kind of hocus-pocus abracadabra (Mr. Rushdie is fond of pileups and lists without commas), a directorial equivalent of the author would need to be conjured. But there’s little magic and even less sense of the storyteller as magician in the modest, respectful adaptation directed by Deepa Mehta, a filmmaker whose socially engaged naturalism seems a mismatch with Mr. Rushdie’s gleeful too-muchness. Still, Mr. Rushdie, who wrote the screenplay (and does the cu...

Poem Lakshman by Toru Dutt

Hello Friends,  This blog is my response to the assignment assigned to us by our Prof. Dr.DilipSir for Semester 3 in subject Indian English Literature Pre Independence and my topic is the poem Lakshman by Indian lady writer Toru Dutt. So, read, understand and enjoy. Happy Learning! Click here to view the entire poem "But then thy leader stood beside! Dazzles the cloud when shines the sun, Reft of his radiance, see it glide A shapeless mass of vapours dun; So of thy courage,—or if not, The matter is far darker dyed, What makes thee loth to leave this spot? Is there a motive thou wouldst hide?" "Lakshman" This quote is significant because it reflects Dutt's impulse to open up and expand on old legends, as well as her interest in adding personal dimensions to these tales that increase their verisimilitude. These lines, spoken by Sita to Lakshman, are not present in, nor have any precursor in, the Ramayana, meaning that this specific accusation of Lakshman was penne...
