SEASON OF EXAMINATION...

Hello Friends,

How are you all?

Soon our M.A Semester-2 university exams are soon going to start. I am very excited for my exams, but I was a bit disappointed today. I heard one of my classmate speaking this:-
“ I Never write properly in my internal exams because I know Sir will do word to word checking, but in university exams I will fill pages and pages because they give marks according to pages not content.”

I was disappointed to hear this.

Firstly i would like to share this quote, before I move further...

It creates doubt on university and exams system as well. I can’t or anyone can surely say is it true or not. If a student is writing pages and pages and getting good marks, then what about students who are focusing on content? I should not believe any XYZ comments I know. But when you are working hard and someone just says I will score on the basis of supplementary, of course any normal student will be irritated. In future we all are going to be professors or teachers, are we going to teach this to our students?

And what about performing in internal exams? And the main question is…..

What about that teacher who is taking a lot of pain in arranging internal exams and checking papers?

You are not performing because he reads each and every word. Well then I guess some students want teachers who just see the handwriting and the numbers of pages filled and give you highest score.

I really don’t know…but I know one thing which my teacher has said “Ability matters not scores, Content matters not pages.”

A request to students who has mentality as stated above: - Change your attitude otherwise when you will become a teacher, and I am afraid FUTURE GENERATION will suffer a lot.

We as a student should not encourage things said like this. I am writing this because there are many people who think filling pages will fill their future….like really???? Come out of that illusion.

That’s a journey of more than a thousand steps, and a single blog post isn’t the place that can change anyone. But this post was, for me, a place to state that “There is no other option for hard work.”

Work hard and read well friends……

WISHING YOU ALL…BEST OF LUCK FOR YOUR UPCOMING EXAMS.

LET’S Rock it…..

"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

“My friend, the things that do attain” - Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey.

Hello friends, I would like to share a poem which I studied during my graduation. The title of the poem is “My friend, the things that do attain”. It is written by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey. Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1516/1517 – 19 January 1547), was an English aristocrat, and one of the founders of English Renaissance poetry. MY friend, the things that do attain The happy life be these, I find: The riches left, not got with pain; The fruitful ground; the quiet mind; The equal friend; no grudge; no strife; No charge of rule, nor governance; Without disease, the healthy life; The household of continuance; The mean diet, no dainty fare; Wisdom joined with simpleness; The night discharged of all care, Where wine the wit may not oppress: The faithful wife, without debate; Such sleeps as may beguile the night; Content thyself with thine estate, Neither wish death, nor fear his might. In the above mentioned poem, there is a list

" 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 Drayton (1563- 1613) 6.) Sonnet No.116 – Willi
