A Small Gift

Hey Friends,

 Today I am going to share one presentation about “Representation of Women in Disney”.  This presentation is not a part of any academic activity. It is a birthday gift for my niece. Next month she is going to turn 18. Like every girl she is fond of Disney princesses and lives in her fantasy world. Over the years, I always gifted her Barbie and castle and all the Disney stuff.

This year I thought to gift her something unique. As she always asks me about my studies and the literary theories like Feminism. We all know that reality is quite different than this fantasy world. I would just like to show her the other side of the coin.

I have not gone deep down in applying Feminism, as she is not quite mature to understand everything. This is my first step to make her aware of the real world in a mild way.

Hope you all will enjoy this presentation…..

"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.)
