Seminar on Women Empowerment..........REALLY?

NOTE:- This article is my personal experience about a seminar on “Women Empowerment”. In this article , I have mentioned names of only those , whose names are deserved to be taken .

What is the point of such seminars ? Why are these type of programmes organised ? I am really confused whether this seminar was to support women or to suppress them . Many of the dignitaries spoke about progress of women like how many of them have taken admission in various fields etc . Everything was going very smoothly , but as soon as my senior Ms.Bhumi Joshi showed them the reality , it fell like an axe on their frozen heart . Suddenly the whole scenario changed .

Our honourable vice-chancellor showed us the map of behaviour , with reference to The Ramayana . I guess he must have forgotten that this is 21^st century . Things have changed now . I have always heard people saying that education makes a person rational , practical and broad-minded . I don’t think its always true . Maturity doesn’t come with age , it comes with experience.

There is a saying “ United we stand , Divided we fall “ , the voice of unity brought a change . My seniors Dipti and Janki represented all the the women who hates any kind of injustice and raised their voice against it . Our biggest support was Dr.Dilip Barad , lucky to have a teacher like him . I think the change will definately come , but slowly......as we live in India . All guests were not the same . There was one person and I think that was the only person , Dr.Dhiren Vaishnav who spoke something relevant to the seminar .

Again the question remains the same, What is the point of these type of seminars ? Guests from different fields come and speak on a particular subject , and then next day it is highlighted in the newspaper . There are no practical aspects of these programmes .

This time the change shall come , as the voice is raised against the rigidity . Women are powerful , they don’t need this kind of support . Society is always afraid of free women , free will and free speech .

A few lines for the so – called supporters of women :-

“ Kyun sach ka sabak sikhaaye
Jab sach sunn bhi naa paaye
Sach koi bole to tu niyam kanoon bataye
Tera darr, Tera pyaar, teri waah
Tu hi rakh rakh saala......
Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh”

PROUD TO BE A WOMEN

The Mountains are calling and I must go… #AcademicTour #Junagadh #2019

The Mountains are calling and I must go… Recently I had a delightful experience of visiting Junagadh for Academic tour organized by Department of English, Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University. Being a Research Scholar and a Faculty member, this was my first tour in a different role. It is said that a physician treats but nature heals. It is absolutely true. Stuck in health issues for so many months, and finally the mountains were calling and I had to go. I feel rejuvenate after this trip. The best part about academic tour is that you not only visit historical and important places, but you visit so many academic Institutions, meet so many learned teachers and students. This tour was planned for two days; 5 th and 6 th February. We started on 5 th early morning and were back on 6 th at night. There we visited many marvelous places and I would like to separate it as given beneath. As it is academic visit, let me start with it. Academic Institutions...

"RIP"; Rest in Peace those who are Alive....

Hello Friends, After a long time I am writing here. Hope you all are fine. This time I have come up with a different interpretation of the phrase “RIP”. Mostly this phrase “RIP”; Rest in Peace is used for the people who are no more. We use this phrase to give sympathy towards the departed soul. The soul may get peace wherever it travels. No one exactly knows where the soul travels. Sometimes this phrase is used out of care and sometimes just for show off on social media. While sitting alone near a cemetery, a thought struck in my mind. Why do we use RIP only for dead people????? We can also use it for those who are alive. Many time people use RIP when a person is dead. The same people might have harassed the dead person when he is alive. So what’s the point of “RIP”? Suppose in the day time you behave very badly with someone. Is he/she going to get sound and peaceful sleep at night? The dead person will never come back so we just say “RIP”. Of course ever...

" The Winged Word"- David Green

In my Graduation syllabus, I had a book named “ The Winged word”. This anthology is edited by David Green. It is anthology of poems compiled for the students of English literature in the B.A courses of Indian Universities. The chronological order, in which the poets are arranged in this book, helps the students to note the development of English poetry from one age to another. Referring to this book after a long time span, gives me a immense joy. There are many poems in this book. We were given some selected poems to study during three years of graduation. The poems which were in my syllabus are as follow:- 1.) I Find No Peace – Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-42) 2.) My Friend, the Things That Do Attain –Henry Howard (1517- 47) 3.) The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd –Sir Walter Ralegh (1552-1618) 4.) The Nightingale – Sir Philip Sidney (1554- 86) 5.) Since There’s No Help – Michael...
