From the desk of the Head of the Department: Prof. Dr. Dilip Barad
The Memorabilia 2018-19 reminds the sense of an ending. Julian Barnes has
rightly said that the sense of an ending is one of the most curious senses.
There are ‘senses’ which are very crucial for human beings. The senses like
‘common-sense’ is necessary to understand worldly affairs when our academic
sense fails to unlock the enigmatic life. Similarly, ‘civic-sense’ makes us
responsible and accountable citizens of the democracy. Likewise, ‘academic-
sense’ guides us in using lessons learned in academia at right time and right
place. Unlike these senses, political senses is not much valued and talked
about. However, for the citizens who are eligible for casting their votes in
democracy, this sense is as inevitable as any other. Bertolt Brecht has equated
this with literacy and told very boldly that the worst illiterate is the political
illiterate. s/he hears nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life . . . and does not seem to know
that all citizens life depends on political decisions. Among all these senses, it is ‘historical sense’ which
makes a huge difference. In T.S. Eliot’s words - the historical sense involves a perception, not only of the
pastness of the past, but of its presence. The historical sense will help in better perception of zeitgeist of
our time and space. It is this sense which differentiates people from sheople (sheep + people). We, at
Department of English, while teaching English studies, makes an attempt to see that students develop
these senses and become more sensible towards their personal lives as well as our society.
Coming back to the sense of an ending, the most curious sense of all these high-profile senses.
When we get towards the end of two years, when a batch full of students are passing out – some
curious feelings engulf and numbs our senses. No! It is not this Keatsian ‘my heart aches, and a
drowsy numbness pains’ – sort of sense of an ending. It means an end of any likelihood of
change in the life. We work very hard and we expect a sort of progressive, positive, and
constructive metamorphosis among those with whom we so
passionately get involved. At the end of the year, the sense of an
ending engulfs.
This Memorabilia 2018-19 is nothing but a sort of pensive of all
those wonderful memories. It is like that Time-Turner device made
by Ministry of Magic in J K Rowling’s Potter series. It is like the
Time Machine of H. G. Wells. Turning pages of this memory-
booklet is like unwinding the time in Time-Turner or travelling
back in the Time Machine.
All credit for this sort of meticulous record keeping goes to the Documentation Committee. It is
really tough task. However, social media like Facebook is helping a lot to them in keeping
records. It was always satisfying to read their posts in the happenings with an interesting write-
up and a few photos. It is even more satisfying to revisit all those ‘happenings’ in this
Memorabilia, again.
7
When I look back at the quality of students who are passing out, I see that these students were a bit
quicker in adapting to technology than the previous batches. These students have surprised me on several
occasions. From presenting their work in digital form to working on online surveys, or preparing
certificates with mail-merge feature, or collecting data, or working in collaboration, or even this
Memorabilia itself . . . . With almost professional precision, they used assistive technology. I hope the
digital skills they have acquired and honed are going to be very vital in their future career and life.
Another unique feature perceived in this batch was their courage and confidence to speak-up and voice
their happiness as well as angst and anxiety. Many of them wrote and some even published good poems,
short stories, social media posts and blogs.
This was the batch on which we worked very hard to improve their
English language. Not that these students were very poor in English
language. They possessed normal English language skills which is
common with all other batches. However, this time we were able to spare
time for remedial classes, answer-writing workshops and academic
writing workshops. In a way, this batch is fortunate to have many
sessions of improving academic English writing skills. Some of them
have learned it and displayed the improvement in their writings also.
It is a tradition that most of the activities are carried out by students
of the Department. They are divided in various committees and those willing to lead become
natural leaders. Every year, apart from regular co-curricular activities, some unique activities are
also planned by these committee members. This year,
• the Library committee planned a visit of Barton Library. This library is historically very
important site for all book lovers,
• the ICT committee organised workshop for P.G. students of all departments and exposed
them to basic digital tools. The entire workshop was conducted by senior students and
even the resource persons were members of ICT committee,
• the Film Screening committee organised watching Hindi film Uri – The Surgical Strike
in the cinema theatre,
• the Art and Creativity committee organised various competitions on the occasion of
Guru Purnima and made digital display of short stories, paintings, poems, photographs
and rangoli and winners were selected by online public voting system,
• the Celebration committee celebrated International Day of Yoga at Department,
• the credit of maximum participation in Sports and Adventure activities goes to the Sports
and Recreation committee,
• the Gardening committee carried out projects to support Swacch Bharat / Clean India
campaign,
• the Daily Schedule committee organised some very courageous debates on challenging issues
like Pulwama Terror Attack, Adultery Act section 497 of IPC, LGBT Act section 377 of IPC.
8
All members of the committee from Semester 4 and 2 are appreciated for these unique
activities. We know that all humans are not similar. Neither are we born to do similar
things in life, nor are we supposed to think alike. We all are unique and the uniqueness
shall be maintained, irrespective of what-so-ever-life offers us. In spite of this, the fact
remains that this rule does not apply to leaders. The leaders
are supposed to be different from other people. The
uniqueness of leaders lies in the fact that they are ready to
merge and assimilate with one and all. That’s the sure way
to lead the people. There is a famous quote ascribed to
Bruce Lee: “Be like water making its way through
cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object,
and you shall find a way around or through it. If
nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will
disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If
you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it
becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water
can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” Leader are supposed to be like water.
It is glad to see that without knowing all these things most of you have displayed these
characteristics. Be with it. In future, you may unlearn many things and relearn also. But do
not unlearn these characteristics of leadership which you have acquired by being so – water
like!
Lastly, keep reading literature. Great readers make for great leaders! Reading literature
ripens our maturity. The emotional, intelligence, spiritual, creativity, adversity, and physical
quotients (EQ, IQ, SQ, CQ, AQ, PQ of literature students / readers are much higher and
deeper than students of any other subjects / discipline. At the same time, I would like to
suggest to watch as many films as you can. In this year, we have seen the rise of web
streaming services. It has opened new vistas for acquiring all these quotients which
altogether makes for literary quotients and literary sensibility. If one wants to put it in
arithmetic equation, it shall have an integer of multiplication. So, it can be – LQ = IQ x EQ x
SQ x CQ x AQ x PQ. In addition, L = B + eB + F + YT + WS +TV, wherein Literature is equal
to books, eBooks, films, YouTube, Web Steaming and Television. Do not nurture bias against
these mediums. Do not privilege one over the other. All are equally important for the
acquisition of literary quotient.
Wish you all the best for your future career and life. Keep sharing your achievements with us. We will
make anecdotes out of your achievements and turn you into role-models for upcoming batches of
students.

Poetic expression by Mehul Dodiya
મારા ભવનમાાં
Digital બનવાનો અવસર મારા ભવનમાં છે,
મવદ્યા સ્વરૂપે ઈશ્વર મારા ભવનમાં છે.
19
ગુંદી, ગુલાબ, લીમડો, પીપળની છાંયડી છે,
થોડા ઘણા કબુિરને ખખસકોલી મારા ભવનમાં છે.
ઉઘડે છે દ્વાર જયારે કલરવ કરે છે ભાવનગર,
નાખળયેરના દ્વાર મારા ભવન માં છે.
Spellingની વાવણીથી અંજવાસ પાંગરે છે,
Criticism ને Novel નુંખેિર મારા ભવનમાં છે.
Blog, Flip Learning, Slide share ક્લાસમાં જીવે છે,

Prosaic Expression by the Editors: ‘The Doing is often more important than
the outcome.’
It was very great experience of the two years journey in The Department of
English is difficult to express our experience in words. We have learnt so many
things in the Deptartment of English. It cultivates habit of thinking in our mind.
Every student might have the knowledge and information but in which direction
this knowledge should be use it might not be known by them, hence the
Department has given them the right direction to find their destination. We spend
more time in the Department than our home, so for us it is very difficult to leave.
20
In real sense ‘Everyday is Sunday’ in our department because we enjoy each and
every day without any type of regret. We love to attend lectures of our beloved
professor Dr. Dilip Barad, it doesn’t matter how long the lecture is, sometimes it
takes full day but we enjoy thoroughly. One of the best lessons that we learn from
Dilip Barad sir is keep plan B ready. Whatever the circumstances are, the show
must go on. Therefore, we have to keep plan b ready to deal with any situations.
The Department prepared us to face all sorts of challenges in life, we have learnt to
overcome fears like stage fear, participation in any events and activities without
hesitation.
In our Department we share our ideas in daily schedule which make us mentally
strong and help build confidence. The Department taught us how to organize
events and it gives the freedom to students to call and arrange talk with intellectual
personality from any field. For instance, Kavitaba Gohil invited well known author
Bhupendrasinh Raol who talked about his book “Rasaynik Geeta” and also
Mahirpari Goswami invited Rajnish Tomar who enhanced our knowledge of GPSC
and UPSC.
We express our gratefulness towards our beloved Head of the Department Dr.
Dilip Barad who taught us important lessons of the life and role of literature to
shape us from sheeple to independent-thinking-human-beings. We already know
how to use technology but after two years of the Department we have learnt how to
integrate it for academic purpose.
“True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students
to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging
them to create bridges of their own.”
We are also thankful to Dr.Heenaba Zala and Vaidehi Hariyani for their great
support in learning. They helped in every situation as like friend. They tried very
hard to improve our language through remedial classes.
21
We started our journey by steeping ourselves into the water of literature to learn
the sailing against the toughest waves of Society; we have been constantly guided
by experienced sailor named Dr. Dilip Barad in these two years
This Memorabilia 2018-19 is a result of hard work of the editors to preserve the
golden memories of our Department. The Documentation committee is very
thankful to all our classmates, group leaders for their great support to make
memorabilia really memorable. The Editors of Memorabilia are Mehul Dodiya,
Zankhana Matholiya, Abul Abedi, Ramiz Solanki and Hema Goswami.

Annual Report of Committees :2018-19
1. Documentation Committee
Hema Goswami & Abul Abedi
“In order to carry a positive action
We must develop here a vision”
Documentation is an important aspect of
accountability which not only provides record
of the work being done but also recognizes
efforts and reinforces the system. In any field
there should be documentation which keeps the
event alive for longer period of time.
In the era of digitalization people don’t believe without any kind of proof that’s
why we need to documents things. In academic field it is necessary to record all
the things which will show you the chart of the progress of particular field. For
example, In India from very ancient time there is one beautiful place “Valley of
flower” which is not known to everyone until it was search and documented by
British mountaineers Frank S. Smythe, Eric Shipton and RL. Holdsworth. Then
people started to research the “Valley of Flower”. So in this way documentation
help us to know about particular thing with proof.
English Department used to celebrate numerous events, activities throughout the
year. So, function of documentation committee is to record all the events and
activities in the form of Blog and Facebook post with appropriate images. It also
motivates student to participate in academic and non-academic activities because
social platform is used by everybody. In this way the world will know about our
departmental activities and the progress of students.
We are using Facebook for documenting academic and non-academic events. This
is very useful digital platform because we can download images at anytime and
23
also get the date on which the event occurs. The other way to document things is
blogger. All students of our department have their personal blog account in which
they are writing their experience, movie review, thinking activity etc. and share on
Google plus, Facebook, Whatsapp. Introvert students also find platform to share
their thoughts.
There are various committees in our department like Daily Schedule, Library, Film
screening, Sports and Recreation, Art and Creativity etc. The mother of all
committees is “Documentation Committee” which documents all the creative
activity of various committees. This Memorabilia plays a vital role in preserving
all sweet memories. This year various events celebrated at Department of English.
With the celebration of International Yoga day we started our new semester. Ph.D
viva, student’s participation in National and International conferences, Aishvaryam
youth festival is common every year. Other celebrations like kite festival, Navratri
festival, Christmas, Gurupunam, Republic and Independence Day etc also
celebrated in our Department.
We would like to thanks Dr. Dilip Barad for giving us opportunity to work as a
Documentation committee leader and to record each and every event. It will also
help us to document events in future. We are fortunate that we get opportunity to
edit this golden Memorabilia which serve as torchlight for all the upcoming
batches.
2. Film Screening Committee
Charmi Vyas & Nirali Dugrani
Now days, films have become very powerful
tool in education. Films connect ourselves to
characters emotions and situation so we can
easily understand text. It also helps to
understand about culture of that time. In our
department, we learn that how movies are
connected with our life and culture. We learn to see symbols and understand that
what director want to say by symbols, critically analyse Story, Character etc..,
Normally people can’t able to do this. For all these things I am heartily thankful to
24
Pro. Dilip Barad sir who taught us how to watch movies and Movies are not just
for entertainment.
In our Department of English, we are using movie screening as educational tool in
which we have watched many academic or extra - academic movies. Throughout

Party, Waiting for Godot, Mourning Becomes Electra, Da Vinci Code, The Scarlet

also had screening of Movie Lagaan, Rang de basanti Student of English

Riddhi Joshi & Niyati Pathak
Art is something which differs one from ‘other’. In the era
of 21th century peoples are use to technology. But there
are still so many things which are hidden which our
committee tried to explore.
In the beginning of the term we had organized a Guru-
Purnima competition. Idea of this competition is given
by Mehul Dodiya. In this competition students had explored their creativity. There
are many sub-competitions conducted on Guru Purnima Competition. There is no
boundary and restriction for participation, Because Art has no barriers. In second
term we had women’s day special theme celebration. There is Dress Code of
Blue and Pink and also student’s given their art forms and we had Exhibition on
Bulletin Boards.
Guru Purnima celebration has different Phases of Competition, like- painting,
photography, poem, short-stories, essay, cartooning and poster-,making. We
had received reviews by Public Voting System For this competition. Winners
awarded with gifts and certificates. Women's day special theme was presented in
form of painting and poem. In this way theme wise celebration gives a cultural
value and also new outcome of talent and art gives a opportunity to add a lifetime
memory.
“Aeshvaryam” Youth festival is task for us to Document all the things. As a
literature student we have to look from different angle so here we found so many
interesting things, points to ponder.

5.Sports & Recreation Committee
Vipul Dabhi and Ravji Jalondhara
“Sport has the power to change the world. It
has the power to inspire; it has the power to
unite
People in a way that little else does. It speaks
to youth in a language they understand. Sport
can create hope, where once there was only
despair. It is more powerful than governments
in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in
the face of all types of discrimination “– Nelson Mandela
By the same token, this above sentence is quite right if you are a true sport person.
As this above sentence has everything to tell. Undoubtedly, our Department has
shown a great caliber towards these all activities. Sometime we might feel that PG
centers are for academics contrivance (Actually it is) rather than other activities
like Sports and Recreation. But we should consider these all activities important
29
too because this is the age where youth can prove themselves. Apart from these all
things, one should not forget that what sports can do…!
As we have seen the value of these activities in learning, it’s time to talk about
establishment of Sports and Recreation Committee. Before we (Batch: 2017- ’19)
set feet in the Department of
English, MKBU. It was the Celebration Committee who was celebrating Sports
Day. But by looking forward, (Students approach/ interests) Students got
permission from Sir to establish a new separate committee for sports.
(Here separate stands for a positive outcome) Here I would like to say thank to all
the members who have contributed a lot in keeping this committee alive.
Peculiarly,
i) Ashish, Vipul, (Reached
to semifinals), Ravji,
Charmi, Hema
{Badminton}
ii) Ramiz{Chess}
iii) Abul, (Selected for inter
university games), Ravji,
Vipul, Hema, Mayuri
{Tennis }
iv) Sagar, Vipul {Table
Tennis}
v) Abul, Kavitaba {
Swimming}
vi) Ramiz, Ravji, Vipul
{Squash}
vii) Ravji { Football }
viii) Hetal Dabhi( Selected for
inter university games) {
SepakTakraw}
ix) Kajal Bambha {
Running}
30
x) Kailas (Selected as a Trainer) { Mountaineering}
xi) Dhaval, Vipul { Himalayas Snow Trekking }
Apart from these all games, we have celebrated National Sports Day, International
Yoga Day and many students participated in Khelmahakumbh too. Prof. Dilip
Barad won above 40 Lawn Tennis Singles and Doubles tournament and
represented Bhavnagar district at Gujarat State level in Khel Mahakumbh.
There are so many other players who have contributed a lot in building this
committee. Like Kavitaba – Squash, Dharaba–Table Tennis, Reena, Urvashi,
Dhaval – Tennis. However, these all things would have been not possible without
one person. Yes, Dr Dilip Barad, who keeps providing a unique role model for all.
Who leads from the front, who knows backing very well – most important thing in
building a player so, now we are hopefully looking forward to the new/ energetic /
kinetic generation to carry out their game spirit forward.
It is possible that as a ‘captain ‘we might not fulfilled the expectations of a ‘coach.’
We accept that we are unfeathered, though it will help us in future life.
6. ICT Committee
Ramiz Solanki & Zankhna Matholiya
Literature and science have always been at
conflict, but in the department of English
things are different. In department both
literature and science walks together keep
hand in hand. The second decade of this
century is of information and technology and
communication, these are inseparable parts of
studies.
In department of English students get chance to use various communicative tools
to stay connect and to study with the world.
Our Professor and Mentor, Dr. Dilip Barad makes us habituated with ICT. He
possesses profound knowledge of technology and with his irrevocable intention of
31
making us prepare for future prospects through the use of it provides us guidance
because of which we are able to learn literature with the help of technology.
“Technology will not replace teachers but teachers who understand
technology will replace those who do not.” - Dr. Ray Clifford
In department different technological tools are used to make teaching process
more enjoyable, more interesting and effective. We make use of various tools
while studying literature. There are different committees in department for
different purpose. ICT committee is one of them which take care of ICT tools like
projectors, language lab, Music system, laptops and of internet connections.
From the very first day in the department students are introduced with online
entrance test to get admission in the department of English. Department is very
progressive in matter of using and integrating technology in learning environment.
One of the advantages of studying in this department is that you will learn many
things regarding technology and web tools which are very helpful in teaching and
learning process.
It is because of our teacher Dr.Dilip Barad that we are able to use laptops and
language lab. Computers and laptops are in ample numbers that all students can
work.
⇨ Department is facilitated with language lab. It has laptop bank that students
can use. In laptop bank we have 17 laptops and 7 mini laptops.
⇨ Students make use these tools for Gmail updates
⇨ Google group activities
⇨ Online group discussion
⇨ Unit end tests
⇨ To access information from web
⇨ To prepare their assignments and publish it on www.blogger.com
⇨ To make presentation and then to share it on www.slideshare.net
32
⇨ Each and every students are given DVD of their presentation videos which
are later uploaded on you tube channels created by student
⇨ When students are entered in the fourth semester, under the guidance of
Dr.Dilip Barad students are taught to create their own Google sites
ePortfolio. ePortfolios are the show case of students’ two years academic
activities.
⇨ Under the Shakshat project of blended learning headed by Dr. Dilip barad.
Faculties make use of movie screening for the better understanding of
literary texts.
The most difficult responsibility of ICT committee is to set up IP addresses
whenever there is a new computer is connected to Cisco, but this also worked out
very well throughout last year with the great help from ICT members.
First of all I would like to thanks our HOD Dr. Dilip barad that he provides such
techno-Friendly environment in place like Bhavnagar. I would also like to thank
Namrataba Zala, our senior and previous ICT leader and last but not the least
Member of ICT committee and all classmates and also juniors for their help
throughout. Without all of them, this journey of learning would have been
incomplete.
7. Gardening Committee
Jagruti Vasani
I grow plants for many reasons: to please my
soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge
my patience, for novelty, or for nostalgia, but
mostly for the joy in seeing them grows.
-David Hobson
Gardening is the practice of growing and
cultivating plants as part of horticulture. The
33
goal is to create a garden in harmony with and adapted to a given area. We’ll start
with the most obvious reason why cultivating plants is so important: We can’t eat,
drink or breathe without them around. No plants, no life and that can’t be healthy.
Daily gardening chores like watering, weeding, trellising and harvesting are great
ways to augment an exercise regimen. We do all this things under the guidance of
our Head of The Department Dr. Dilip Barad Sir. Your brain also benefits from
time spent in the garden. Being outside in the fresh air and sunshine is an effective
way to boost your mood and de-stress.
It is our tradition of department to plant tree which can live longer; it’s done by
new batch, which will come every year. It was really memorable day. There are
various committees to do various activities throughout the year. There are in
gardening committee we have 27 members of both semesters. We are celebrated
gardening day two times in the whole year. In this year on 6th
and 7th
August, 2018
we celebrated first gardening day and we did memory tree plantation of new
batch’s students and through these we also become participants of Clean India
Mission and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. During those days we have done lots of
work around the area of department. We painted trees by geru and lime which
protect trees by trunks. Also designed the pot and cover the garden area by blocks
design. Then as per our department’s tradition on Republic day after Flag Anthem
we celebrated republic day as a gardening day. And after that work we take healthy
snacks and cold drink which is provide by sir.
There is greenery around our English Department and it’s providing us fresh air
and energy. Before many years there was not a single tree but at running days, we
can see it’s totally changed atmosphere
of Garden. Thanks to Dilip Barad sir
for this revolutionary change and give
us opportunity to become a part of this
grateful work.
“GARDENING-THE FINE
ART OF SOIL TO SOUL.”
34
8. Bulletin Board Committee
Niyati Pathak & Jagruti Vasani
“If you not willing to learn no one can help you If
you are determined to learn no one can stop you”
Bulletin board is the mirror of any institution which
shows x-ray image of student’s ability of creation
and expression, which runs with contribution of
student’s creativities. In our Department of English,
students share their various work like Poems,
Drawings, short stories, Articles etc. Also bulletin
board contains memories in form of collage which
reminds us memories of previous batches. So it is not just part of traditions but also
it preserves all memories. Some students may have hidden talent but little bit, to
speak and stand. But here are more things to share and enthusiasm Shawn by our
students’ .they share with us many creative activities throughout the year. As per
we had celebrated many special days like for example: women’s Day , Christmas
Day , Republic day, Independence day ,Gurupurnima celebration , accordingly we
organized things for bulleting . So that we can share things like what is happen in
our department, co-curricular activities. It was a great experience for us in this year
because from this year Dilip barad sir has gave opportunity that we had 2 leaders in
each committee. So, at the result of that we have done our best.
At the end of the journey we would like to thanks to our active members and
specially Disha Gediya , Vipul dabhi, Zankhana Matholiya , Krishna Patel , Jeel
vyas, Mehul Dodiya, for active participation and helping throughout the year
without you this journey as leader is incomplete .at last but not least we also
thankful to Pro. Dilip_Barad for time and again encouragement and brighten our
skills.
35
9. Library Committee
Reena Khasatiya & Jyotiba Gohil
J. K Rowling says on library that, when in
doubt go to the Library. But, now-a-days
library does not mean only books lying
there.
“A modern library with e-books and with
internet where you can find answers of your
all questions”
Department of English MKBU, though it is arts department, it is known as techno
friendly department. It makes very effective use of technology. Not only laptop
bank and free Wi-Fi, Department got its own library too. Our Department's library
made for the ease of students so that time and again they don't have to go to the
central library for books. We have more than 1000 books in our library related to
our syllabus and English literature. Apart from that we have SCOPE books and
CDs, self help kind books, NET-SET books, magazines and thesis. Our head of
Department, Dr. Dilip Barad has also his own library in his office. That also
student can use for their reading purpose. Along with that Dept. has its own
Reading room for reader in that we have different magazines, research paper and
thesis.
As the tradition of Department every year each committee member got new
leader for committee. Senior passes responsibilities on Junior's shoulder. In that
what is the responsibility one should fulfilled as leader of library committee? As
leader of library one should be careful for books, availability of books for all
students, to inform students about reference books related to syllabus and
remember the borrow and issues date and in the whole year several visit of various
libraries.
It is great experience of being a Committee leader along with Jyotiba Gohil. From
the very first day of semester 3, I try to be faithful to my leadership or
responsibility to Dept.’s library. We can’t deny students for books at any time.
36
Despite this, this year we made few changes in libraries cupboards position and
numbering of books for that I would be thankful for my juniors who took great
pain of work. Traditionally we used to visit central library of our University but
along with this year we also visit Barton library of Bhavnagar. At the end, to
possess a key of library doesn’t mean one become an owner of knowledge for that
everyone must read …read…and…read.
Jyotiba Gohil's experience as a library leader
As a leader for me it was good experience. For a leader it will never easy to lead
the people. As a leader I can't do anything all alone. I would like to thanks my
partner leader Reena and all our committee members and Friends for being our
support to full fill our responsibility. Thank you to Prof. Dilip Barad sir for
providing me an opportunity to be a Leader.
10. Daily Schedule Committee
Kavitaba Gohil
“You'll never change your life until you change
something you do daily. The secret of your success is
found in your daily routine.”
― John C. Maxwell
Department is an institution and like all other
institutions in the world, it also needs to assemble and
meet every day to carry out all of its functions; therefore
here, in the department, a day starts with a bunch of activities, known as a “Daily
schedule”. To make the day auspicious we start our daily schedule with the
chanting of University song and then prayer. Then the next column is “thought of
the day”, which not only make students aware of the great thoughts and ideas of
the world but also teaches how to use it in life. One must know what is happening
around oneself. It is very important for oneself to take necessary measures at the
right time so here students came up with the idea of Newspaper reading. The habit
of reading newspaper not only enhance our knowledge but also improves accuracy
and fluency, it proves questioning which helps in generating ideas and inspires to
think. It is a kind of exercise, which gives an insight into the world around.
37
Albert Einstein a famous thinker once said that a person who learns a word a day is
smarter and wise than rest so therefore we have a column known as “Vocabulary
drill”. It actually drills out the frozen minds of learners and helps them to learn
new vocabulary with the examples from day to day life. The fifth column of DS is
Poetry recitation in which student presents English poetry. Opinion building is the
column through which all the leaders of various committees inform and notify
students about upcoming events. It is also the column from where the songs of
rules and regulations sung over time. Furthermore, Personal presentation is the
column, which gives a platform to present personal views of the participant.
Regional literature allows all the type of literature from all the languages. Here
students cultivate a habit of reading books as well as watching movies and then
they come up with reviews of it. The last columns are Humour of the day and the
National song. After DS sir gives the review about the performance of the students,
which encourages the confidence level of students.
Benefits of participating in Ds
Participating in Ds helps to improve Academic as well as Non-academic
knowledge in students. It helps to overcome stage fear and boost up confidence
level. It stretches on LSRW skills and encourages community involvements.
Therefore, learning happens everywhere, not just in the classroom.
Daily schedule committee not only limited to department activity but also
organize some charity events like A Blood Donation camp. It also arranges rational
talks with an author like Bhupendrasinh Raol.
i) Major works by committee
ii) Blood donation camp
iii) Gurupurnima Special DS
iv) Christmas Special DS
v) Debate on LGBT Section 377
vi) Debate on the judgment of Adultery Act Section 497
vii) Debate on Pulwama
viii) Women’s day special Ds
ix) Talk with an Author Bhupendrasinh Raol
The Daily schedule committee is very much thankful to all the members and to
those students who helped a lot without being a part of the committee. Because to
participate actively and to help in arranging the things is not everyone’s liking.
Special thanks to Dr. Dilip Barad sir for encouraging and back support. Ds
38
committee is also thankful to Heenaba Zala ma’am and Vaidehi Hariyani ma’am
for guidance and support.

Abstracts of Research Papers
1. Children’s literature: Fantasy and Beyond-
Prakruti Bhatt
National paper reading competition on
Children’s Literature: Rajkot
Christianity and Harry Potter series
Abstract: Whether it was Alice’s adventures in
Wonderland or those Disney tales or for that matter
the Cartoon Network shows, children’s literature was never ‘childish’ if ever
looked closely. Interestingly enough, the texts usually considered as children’s
literature by popular critics and readers are often full of political agendas, socio-
religious conflicts as well as scientific discoveries. One of the most popular
children’s literature texts, which fascinated a whole generation of kids, at home
and abroad, is the Harry Potter series. Today, it would be hard to find a kid who, if
not read, but hasn’t watched the cinematic version of this particular work by J.K
Rowling. “How Harry Cast his Spell” explains why the books meet our longing to
experience the truths of life, love, and death; help us better understand life and our
role in the universe; and encourage us to discover and develop our own gifts and
abilities (Granger). The fact that magic, can be a medium for someone to establish
an identity and that it is an equally respectable field of study, is something quite
unconvincing for a religion which has always condemned wizards and witches and
has portrayed them as the personifications of ‘evil’. And therefore, “Baptizing
Harry Potter” becomes an important text by offering a monk’s take on Harry Potter
series (Bell). The aim of this paper is to look at how far is the Harry Potter series
(particularly the cinematic adaptations) ‘a prolonged argument for tolerance and a
prolonged plea for an end to ‘bigotry’ as Rowling claims it, in context of religion,
and especially Christianity. “What’s A Christian to do with Harry Potter?” book by
Connie Neal says- Although the books present a clear picture of the epic battle
42
between good and evil, they appear to support the use of magic and have had a
controversial impact on our culture. As a result, many of us are wondering, “How
should I respond to this Harry Potter thing?”

Abstract
This paper mainly focused on Archetypal characters of Children’s Literature.
Archetypes in literature are common characters, settings, and objects that are seen
in many different stories (Carson).Literature can be interpreted in as many ways as
possible, and there are different approaches for literature and one among them is
the archetypal approach (Kazhungil). There are many popular characters whose
archetype is same in all popular children’s literature. Some are Hero, Mentor,
Herald, Ally, Villain etc.
Children cannot get complex things; therefore authors used simple concepts, so
that children can understand it easily (Nilsen). Mainly archetypes and symbols
taught cultural or moral values to the children. In this way children can distinguish
between good and evil. Story of “Pinocchio” creates fear in children’s mind for not
speaking lie. Animals usually fascinate children. Wild animals like Lion
symbolized the power culture of society, other like Fox stands for the cunningness
43
or craftiness. Similarly Cow, sheep are considered as docile animals.
“Panchatantra” stories are the best representative text in this context for children
literature. Northrop Frye in his essay “Archetypes of Literature” gave many
symbols, myths which were used by authors in various contexts. Use of various
colors in Children literature is also common, rarely we find black and white.
Mostly everything is colorful in entire world of children literature. Beautiful
princess, Fairies like Cinderella, Snow-white, Tinker bell etc symbolized
spirituality and magical power. These all fairy tales of children literature gave
illusion of dreamy world. As children possess soft hearts, they cannot bear
anything cruel and harsh reality of society, so the literature works accordingly and
build archetype of dream world in front of them.
Key Words: Archetypal approach, popular characters, various symbols,
Pinnochio, Animals, Panchatantra, colors, Northrop Frye, Fairy tales, Dream,
magical power.

India considers as a cultural country in the world, which
has a great heritage. There are many rituals, traditions
which have conserved the dignity of India as the country
with great culture. As literature shows as the real situation of society, its good side
as well as bad side, it is much important to look at the literature to know any
culture in a proper way and movies are the best source for it. So, this paper mainly
focuses on the situation of women in India through the medium of Bollywood
movies. I took a reference of some Bollywood movies that concerns more with the
44
women characters such as Mother India (1957), water (2005), Queen (2014), Mary
Kom (2014) and many more to observe that what changes comes in the characters
of Women observe through Social, Psychological and Feministic aspects.

Abstract
The philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ is untouched from the criticism and
readily accepted by the whole world especially Indian people as it comes from the
Maha Upanishad. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam means the whole world is one family
but there are some problems such as Casteism, Religious Conflicts, Political
Conflicts and many more which says that the philosophy is completely wrong. This
paper mainly focuses on the deconstruction of the philosophy ‘Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam’, the main purpose is to show that this philosophy can’t be applied in
modern times especially in the country like India. I have been applied Social,
Political and Psychological aspects as well as taken movies like ‘Nayak’,
‘Baghban’, and ‘Aarakshan’ as reference to make my arguments more stronger.
After examine the idea of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ through different aspects, it
becomes clear that it seems good as a philosophy that whole world is one family
but it can’t be applied in real life and can be called just a Hoax.
Key Words
:’Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, Casteism, Deconstruction, Political Conflict, Hoax,
Maha Upanishad, and Philosophy.

Survey: Projects
1. Report of Survey on ELT Activity to examine the
reading habit of students
-Disha Gediya
Introduction
During my M.A. with English in Department of English MKBU,I have done one survey on
Reading habit of students. I had made one survey form and started the survey.
My Experience:-
First I had visit MSC students who behaved well with me. Then I had visit different field's
students like BSC students, B.ed students, B.A. students,MSW Students, B.com
students, BBA Students etc.they also gave me well response on this.
Most of them were interested in this survey because they found some new things like
education with technology in the survey. Behave politely and gave the response very
honestly. Most of them have question that why I am doing this?and I answered them
that this is my task and for that I am doing this. Some of them were also asking about
privacy of their gmail because they have fear that suppose I will make misuse of their ID
but I have given the surety to them that this is only for my task and I will never misuse it.
I had met so many students from various field but some of them have not their personal
android phone. Some students have android phone but they have not mail ID and have
internet problem.
Most of the students were interested so I enjoyed the work a lot.
Student’s response:-
47
The first chart is about reading, as student’s hobby. Here most of the students include
reading as their hobby but this 8.1% student doesn't like reading. They mentioned it
clearly which shows that they accept the fact that they haven't like reading. Here this
acceptance is not an easy thing, us needs more courage to accept this type of reality.
Other side, who say 'yes', may be they also don’t like reordering though they say 'yes'
means they have not courage to accept reality.
Most of the students goes with the option enjoyable, but in real sense it us enjoyable or
not? Are they really enjoying reading or do it as sake of doing. The green mark of the
answer which is not in chart shows that somewhere and somehow students like to read
something.
48
This chart mentioned that most of the students are using both, online source and books.
Only7.9%students who use online source for reading rather than books.
In this chart, students use mist of the books for reading rather than e book or some
important websource. There are some important news in newspaper and article in
magazine also which helps students for education.
49
Here students mentioned that they are searching material online. Here some of them
not searching material online means they are using more books rather than internet for
educational purposes.
Here 83.1% students found that the material they read on Google is really exam
oriented. But 16.9%students doesn't think that this is not helpful for exam. But I want to
say that there may be the mistake in their searching because Google have all the
information.
50
In this chart most of the students goes with the point that online material is helpful but
somewhere and somehow they need books also.
If we came to the another question that where students actually like to spend their
money , the answer goes with both, means they are spending their money for book and
for entertainment.
51
Here the students who use other materials for reading which is not in syllabus,hoes with
83.6%means moth of students like to read another things also. Other side 16 4%
student goes with option 'No' means they are reading only that material which is in their
syllabus.
In this chart most of the students goes with short stories which shows the area od
interest of students.
Conclusion:-
So most of the students still like to read book rather than e book or other web
source by reference of chart no 3 and 4. They are searching material online but still
there is the mentality of students that education could be doesn’t with pen and paper
only. By the end of this conversation on the topic of reading habit of students we say
that still in 21st century, the idea of digital school or college is far away from students
mind.
2. Project on tablet using survey
-Disha Gediya
During my M.A. with English, in Department of English MKBU,I have done one survey
on use of the tablet by students. I had chosen many students from various fields who
had got the tablet by Government. My target was a hostel and particular students who
get the tablet.
52
My Experience:-
The experience of this survey is worse rather than good. When I had started to do this
survey I had came to know about the mentality of students for using tablets in
education.
Most of them have no information that how to use Tablet for education purpose. All
students used it only for entertainment and chatting.
I had started by hostel students who got the tablet in 2019, and explain them that why I
am doing this, what my task here is etc. Most of them have not Gmail account and also
don't know how to create it.
I had tried to convince people in my task that they may take the interest in my work but I
was fail to do that and at first attempt I had got only 7 responses from students. This
makes me very disappointed.
Problem:-
The problem I had faced during this work was that most of the students have not
interested in this type of work. Some of the students said that they had send it to their
home and not using it now. There were total 3 student who send it at their home and not
using this. Many of them behave rudely also and when I visit them for this, they had
shut the door without listening me that what I am telling, why I am doing this .
Researcher's problem:-
By this survey I came to know about researcher's problem that how they were suffered
from ignorance by people. I think that's why India's most of the people are not interested
in research work because of the disappointment and rejection for answer by people.
Not used in Colleges:-
By this survey I came to know about the thing that in most of the colleges, teachers or
professors were not allowing them to use Tablet on classroom. They are using it only in
break time or free time but not in class.
Then what is the purpose of giving the tablet to students?
53
Second try:-
By this disappointment I had tried again for more responses but some of them were not
present at that time or some of them again not responded.
Third try:-
Then I had chosen another idea and send the form to my cousin who is professor in
Science College. He had sent the form to his students who got the Tablet by
Government and by this I got responses from students. This all tries shows that my Plan
B was not ready so I had faced this type of problems.
At last when sir send the link in both the class of my department, student think that they
have to reply of this survey form also and they have started to give reply. In the form
there was lacking of the sentence that this is only for them who have got tablet by
Government because my target was only for hostel survey and for particular chosen
students.
Student’s response:-
Here the red area shows that they are the students who have not get tablet. As above I
mentioned that they were replying by misunderstanding.
54
Here 8.1% students think that the idea of tablet distribution is not good. I think they are
not ready to learn the subject with technology and still want to learn with pen and paper.
Here most of the students choose that they are using tablet for educational purpose ,
but when I meet to some of them , they were clearly saying that they were not use it for
educational purposes then why they select firs option? This leads me to think that
are they answered truly or just for showing that they are using it for educational
purposes.
55
In this chart, i think this 69.4% students can learn the use of technology in class for
educational purposes because their teacher allows them to use it in class. These 30.6%
students will not get the information about how to use Tablet for educational purposes
because their teacher don't allow it in class.
Here these 2.7% students are still not ready for use of technology in educational
purposes. Still they have desire to learn with pen and paper.
56
In this chart most of the students who are really like to learn the subject with technology
, they choose 1st option that they are searching more reading resources rather than
other materials or videos.
Here this 73% students are ready for learn the subject with technology but this 24.3%
are still in confusion that they can't say about learning with technology is helpful for
students brightest future.3%are totally agree with the point that with technology
students can't learn so they choose 2nd option.
57
In this chart most of the students search general knowledge in their tablet and rarely
goes with horoscope.
Here the students who choose option 1, they are ready to learn the subject by their own
58
and no need of teacher. 47.2% students need technology and teacher in class for
learning.
3. Field work: Assembly line and its effect
-Hema Goswami, Vipul dabhi, Sagar Vaghela
The term assembly line was included in mass production. It is also called Progressive assembly.
It is a manufacturing process in which parts are added from workstation to workstation until the
final assembly or final product produced. Things are produced automatically with the help of
huge machines in a very drastic manner.
Let us discuss one story with reference to Assembly line
Quality by John Galsworthy
Quality is a story about an honest shoe maker Mr. Gessler. He is dedicated to his work and spent
all his time working whenever he received any order of making boots. When he was in work, he
never worries about sleep and food. He has high moral value as an artist. He thinks that it was his
duty to make best and to give satisfaction with his product to the consumer. He believes in
Quality product. He never thinks of making more porfit with his work. To achieve more profit is
not his goal. He is different from the other craftsman who never allows their customer to
question them. Mr. Gessler easily accepts his fault and tried his best to fix it. If customer come
with dissatisfaction then he politely take it and convince customer to make it best.
When the bigger shop came in competition Mr. Gessler never gave up. He made boots to comfort
the customer. As an artist he show respect to his art and never loses the quality of product just to
compete with bigger Shops.
Death of Craftsmanship
Now a days with the formation of Assembly lines, death of Craftsman occur. The huge machines
are destroying the soul of craft. In this way Craftman's pride is vanishing.
59
Interview with shoemaker
Generally we have asked three questions whose answer is totally different as per our expectation.
Questions are:-
1. After the influence of competitive shoe making industry, which type of change come in their
business?
2. Are you believe in making Quality product or Profit making product?
3. Would you believe that Industry destroy Craftsmanship?
The First shoe maker
The first shoe maker is old person. He is running his business since 20 Years. He is very porud
about his quality materials. He says that Industrial development never affect his shop. He is
getting same profit as he used to get. He never faces any change.
As we don’t know that he is lying or not just to hide his poverty. He didn’t want to show his bad
condition to us. That’s why he only speaks goody-goody things. There we find self respect in
him that he never like himself to be presented as Piet.
He says one good thing that the customers who used to buy shoes from his shop earlier are still
buying, because he makes his customer satisfied.
He was even in support of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that in his rule there
would be no worries and problem to them.
We are not getting him clearly anyway.
The second Tradesman
60
He is quiet young and running his shop since six months. He very politely gave all the answers
of our questions.
He also didn’t hesitate to give his name, whereas the first one say no clearly to give name.
When we ask about his shop that whether he is getting more profit or less after the competitive
industry then he replied that he is facing 10% loss. He didn’t get that much profit. We have asked
him that whether he is doing anything or not to compete with Machine made Boots, he clearly
says no. But one thing he says that he is putting his products on sale to attract more and more
consumers.
He also says that his focus was on Profit not on quality product.
Difference
Here we find difference in the thinking of Shoemaker and Tradesman and their way of dealing
with customers. Here is the reverse situation or we can say that truth remains hidden.
Conclusion
So the conclusion is with the developing assembly lines still some craftsman spirit was not dead.
Still there are peoples who value the handmade craft rather than machine made final product. If
there is no change in the quality product of things then there must be no bad effect.
Therefore in Modern times the situation that England is facing due to the development of
Industries is still not compared fully with our country.
But still handmade things are limited. It couldn't made mass production in short span of time. It
need more time whereas Machines needs less hour and can made more products. Therefore it can
deals with the increasing demand of the consumers day by day.
Movie Review
As a student of English Literature, watching movies are not the purpose of an
entertainment, it is about to analyse it from various perspectives. The students of
English Department MKBU 2017-2019 has reviewed
some of the movies here.
1.Charlie Chaplin;
-Charmi Vyas
The Great dictator is a political satire comedy drama.
This film written, directed and produced by Charlie
61
Chaplin, this was Charlie's first true sound film. This film was released on 1940
during world war second. In this movie we can see the situation during modern
time. In this film Charlie Chaplin was in double role. He was soldier and also
Dictator.
This film first focus on the situation of war between two nations. Also this thing
shows the strength of army and conditions of soldiers. During war Chaplin saved
life of one army officer. During that time his plane was crash and he lost his
memory of 20 years. He behaves like he was a barber. So this thing shows us that
because of war how situation become difficult for the soldiers. War happens not
because for nation but because the ego of power. Power plays vital role behind
every war.
This film was the best example of political satire. In this film shows how political
leaders behave in front of the public. In this film Hynkel was political leader. In
his speech he talked about motherland, liberty and Humanity. He was whipping
during his speech. So it was all fake things. People were control under him. He told
to clap so all should clap for him. When he said to be silent so all should silent.
Hynkel was playing with balloon of Globe it symbolize that how this political
leaders think about others. They don't care about others they only wanted
to become powerful. Like a game for him to ruled over the world. He wanted to
become Dictator of the world. My favorite speech of Charlie Chaplin in movie
THE GREAT DICTATOR. As per my opinion it is very powerful speech ever
given. I strongly recommend you listen to entire thing. Its really great massage to
humanity.
2.Sense and Sensibility;
-Krishna Patel
Sense and Sensibility is a American film which is directed by Ang Lee and it is
based on Jane Austen's 1811 novel. The film was released on December 13, 1995,
in the United States. The story follows the Dashwood sisters, member of a wealthy
English family. This film shows how women in upper class Georgian England,
though privileged, had relatively few choices in life. It raises a conflict in love that
is typical of the comedy of manners, and it resolves the anxieties of its heroines in
a pleasing, if unremarkable, way. At the end, Edward proposes to and marries
Elinor. Edward becomes a vicar under the patronage of Colnel Branden, whom
62
Marianne marries. Willoughby is seen watching their wedding from a distance, and
then rides away. This movie creates a buzz of excitement around the Dashwood
sister's romantic intrigue.
In this movie we can apply the theory of Feminism. Topic is Feminism like:
Marriage as a medium of economics safety
Cultural materialism : social institutions
Power Dynamics in Relationships
Age factor
Gender Roles.
We can take Elinor and Edward's characters as feminist of a man. I really like the
background in movie. It is very attractive. In this movie we can see the difference
between upper class and middle class
3.Uri The Surgical Strike
-Charmi Vyas
On 10 Feb, students of English department
went to watched movie Uri the surgical
strikes written and directed by Aditya
Dhar in his debut, and produced by
Ronnie Screwvala under the banner of
RSVP Movies.
terrorists attacks in Uri, surprisingly they
enters in military camp and shoots our army means, so India plans to gives answer
with surgical strikes.
In the film, Para SF military major vihaan Singh sherglil leads the operation of the
Indian army - 2016 The Surgical strikes. He is trains all commandos. He is full of v
confidence, positive, brave, rebellious and excellent in planning but without help
of eshan (lvan Sylvester Rodriguez), who makes machine looks like grad (eagle
type). By help of this machine Indian army able to see all activities of terrorist in
Pakistan.
Manish chodhary and rukshar's characters also played vital role, without their help
mission can't be successful because at the last movement they gives information to
Govind Bhardwaj (Paresh Rawal) that Pakistan army came to know about their
plan so vihan suddenly changes the plan and finally they wins and mission Uri the
surgical strikes became successful.
63
In film we also find feminism in characters of yami Gautam (officer) and Kirti
kulhari (pilot). By these two characters we can say that women's are not only
emotional full but they also be like soldiers.
This movie gives an enthralling experience and leaves us with 'High Josh'!, Salute
to our soldiers and their brave families.
4.Lagaan
-Rajdeep Gohel
lagaan is a epic movie by ashutosh gowariker and
he direct history. 104 year ago, mohun bagan's
real life lagaan moment changed Indian history,
the peasant farmers against the oppressive British
Empire. Who challenged villagers to a game of
cricket to avoid the taxes. One game to change
their destiny.
Patriotism:
In this film patriotism is there in "Bhuvan"
character but captain Russell challenged to play cricket in order to 3 year not pay
lagaan. But the other way we see that this challenge not only for lagan but at
Bhuvan side he describe with the patriotism to play game and win against British
raj.
Love Triangle:
In this movie we see the triangle love between Bhuvan, Gouri and Elizabeth. start
movie with the Bhuvan and gouri love each other than Elizabeth come between
them and start with the teach cricket and after 2-3 days Elizabeth like Bhuvan, She
tells that love in English but Bhuvan can't understand that language at Bhuvan side
he see as a helper to teach about cricket. Last scene describes Bhuvan become
Krishna, Gouri become Rukmani and Elizabeth becomes Radha.
Power of religion:
is describe in the film continuous 3 years rain not Raining in the village because 3
years villagers not pray to god so villager believe in god and Rajaji talk with
Russell to this topic and said that 'you can help us for prayer' so we pray to god
than all problems solves.
64
Rural India:
In lagaan movie Ashutosh Gowariker try to show the real village and there
problems and talking style create old history and there old things are in this movie.
and after win the match all are celebrate and start raining is enjoying all that
moment and like recreate that original moment in this movie.
5. Matilda
-Heerva Bhatt
Matilda is a 1996 American children's fantacy comedy
film, directed, produced and narrated by Danny DeVito,
who also starred in the lead role. The film is based on
Roland Dahl's 1988 novel of the same name. The film co-
stars Mara Wilson, Rhea Permanent, Embeth Davidtz and
Pam Ferris. The film is about a young genius named
Matilda, who uses telekinesis to deal with her parents,
who do not value education, and Agatha Trunchbull, the
oppressive principal of Crunchem Hall Elementary
School. The film was released in the United States on August 2, 1996.
Matilda Wormwood is an exquisite and intelligent little girl. Unfortunately,
Matilda is misunderstood by her family because she is very different from their
ways of life. As time passes, Matilda finally starts school that has a kindly teacher,
loyal friends and a sadistic principal. As she gets fed up with the constant cruelty,
Matilda begins to realize that she has a gift of telekinetic powers. After some days
of practice, Matilda suddenly turns the tables to stand up to her parents and outwit
the principal.
As in Matilda’s life books play a vital role, write about your all time stress
buster book.
Basically I am a book lover so I love reading .My all time Stress buster books are
William Shakespeare’s "Othello” in this novel Shakespeare described human
minds very well with the help of many characters like Othello,Desdimona, Eiago
etc. Dr.I.K.Vijalivala's all books, these books give me motivation and strength to
do new things and also Kajal Oza Vaidhya's books, her books gives me new ideas.
65
6.Reluctant Fundamentalist
-Rudrika Gohel
As a part of academics, we have seen this movie. 'The
Reluctant Fundamentalist' novel written by Mohsin
Hamid and directed by Mira Nair. It is about attack of
9/11, how it changes opinion towards the man, who are
relatedly innocent. It symbolizes the postcolonial
aspects; Americans are doubted on ones dignity,
morality. It also includes how market fundamentalism
plays a vital role. It speaks fundamental truths.
It begins with kidnapping of one American, and whole
plot is based on the interview of one Pakistani citizen
Changez Khan, the interview was taken by Bobby Lincoln. Changez Khan is main
suspect of the entire fiction. It is a frame narration, 'story within story'. Changez
goes to America for doing job after completing his study. Everything was very nice
until the attack, he got promotion, everyone was his friend, he had one girlfriend
also, it seems like everything was so good, but after attack of 9/11 everything was
charged. People were doubted on him. Even his girlfriend's behavior was also
changed.
During the attack, Changez smiles at once on destruction of building, it symbolizes
that unconsciously we are wanted that someone take a revenge of our harassment.
But he readily accepts that thing.
As postcolonial aspect, one event was very significant; at the airport he has been
checked by the cops, it raises the question on his dignity. During all these things he
remained silent, but after that he decided to return Pakistan, we can say how he
frustrated.
Istanbul, which is mixture of East and West, we can find their European settlement
and Muslim culture at a same place.
At the last Bobby was interviewed, and the agent of American agency, who
accidentally killed one Pakistani friend of Changez. It shows how Americans killed
minutely anyone for their purpose.
So, movie represents that how Americans treated Muslims, American known for
giving opportunity to others, also known as Salad Bowl, but here we need to think
that, it actually right or not. In 'New York', which directed by Kabir Khan, it has
66
same aspects of like this movie. John Abraham played role of Muslim and
suffering same kind of harassment. It has many points of postcolonial study.
7. The Great Dictator
-Zankhana Matholiya
The Great Dictator was Chaplin’s first sound movie. The
movie was directed in between Second World War.
Hitler was in rule during that time and was in highest
position.
The focus of the movie is on war, politics
and power.
Charlie Chaplin and Hitler
Charlie Chaplin and Hitler had many similarities like, same birth date, physical
appearance, popularity. But both were different in nature. Hitler knows as cruel
dictator and Chaplin as a great Comedian. Chaplin played double role in this film.
First role is about soldier and the second is a Dictator. We can also finds the social
problems of Jewish people in this movie.
About world war
This was the story between two world wars, an interim in which insanity cut loose.
There are politics dynamics also played vital role behind the situation. Identity of
race makes difference between people. Leaders of nation fighting and use people
for undesirable things like Wars. They seeds of hatres in mind and provokes for
keeping hate to each other.
The first half of the present century was completely overshadowed by two wars.
And the post war an era of ' Depression and of want of an Employment.' which is
the mark feature of time reflected in film.
Politics in Movie
This film was the best example of political satire. In this film shows how political
leaders behave in front of the public. In this film Hynkel was political leader. In
his speech he talked about motherland, liberty and Humanity. He was whipping
67
during his speech. So It was all fake thing. People were control under him.He told
to clap so all should clap for him. It shows that he has two different faces.
Hynkel was playing with balloon of Globe. It symbolise that how this political
leaders think about others. They don't care about others they only wanted
to become powerful. So it was like a game for him to rule over the world. He
wanted to become Dictator of the world.
In conclusion we can said that the movie covers every sides of life like political,
Social, economical condition, behaviour of political leaders, situation of war.So
this way we can said that the movie was comic political satire
8.Stree
- Dharaba Rayjada
Recently I watched “Stree” movie which is directed
by Amar Kaushik. This movie follows the genre of
comedy and horror. Cast of the movie is Rajkumar
Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Khurrana,
Aparshakti Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee. The story
of the movie is build up around the people of
Chanderi, where there is myth of witch who hunts
the man of village during four days of pooja and left
only cloths of man behind. Our hero and his friends
are trying to get rid of the witch called “Stree”. My thoughts after watching trailer
and after watching movie are different. I must say the movie wears kind of mask of
comedy and horror which is not easy to remove and get other meanings.
First thing I notice is our hero of the movie is tailor and son of prostitute. Normally
we find that sewing is shown as business of only woman but here hero is tailor and
he has skill of sewing. Than he is son of prostitute, which mostly did not get
recognition but here he plays the main role so by doing this, film maker wants to
break the stereotype.
Other thing which need our attention is there is only relations of woman are shown,
no woman has any name excepts “Shama”, which is also not present in the movie
physically but we can hear this name when Rudra talks on cell phone and we may
take it as symbol given to woman. Shama means the candle, which burns it self
68
every single moment and woman’s life is also same. Most of the time she sacrifices
and burns her self to lighten others. The witch is also called as “Stree” which
generalized for every woman.
There is a story behind a woman becomes witch. The village has done injustice
with woman and killed her and her lover, reason is she is very beautiful every man
of town wants her, when she found her true love then villagers kills both she want
revenge and she becomes witch. As a woman she suffers and the shape of witch we
may take as her anger and outrage of injustice which she suffers during her life.
Witch we may take as symbol of subdued fury which female never let out and we
never find that wrath like witch.
Vickey and his friends are finding way to defeat witch at that time they said that
she is educated but submissive, which we may take as satire on woman that after
educating them selves also they readily become submissive and don’t show
readiness to fight for their rights.
The movie is microcosm of macrocosm. Which is happening symbolically to the
women of Chanderi is happening all over the India. “Don’t go outside of home at
night, don’t go alone, come home before dark, don’t open doors for unknown”
these are the instructions given to woman every time but in this movie it is given to
male, to make man realize how it is like to live every moment under fear. At the
end there is song “Milegi Milegi” in at the beginning all women are dancing as
puppet but at the end there is all men who are dressed as woman and dancing like
puppet again to make them realize how it feels to be mere puppet of someone’s
hand. Though that step has becomes signature step of song but beginning and
ending has some meanings. By having male protagonist we may take it as that
change will not come if only women are fighting men also needs to change, to
bring change in society. Throughout the movie there is effective use of symbol and
it also says that woman wants love and respect but I found end problematic. As it is
said woman want love and respect but as a human not as deity. Giving place of
deity is again problematic as divines are ideal and perfect while human is not
perfect.At the end Shraddha takes the braid of witch and put it on her own hair, we
may see it as the anger in every woman which wants to come out now. The movie
also lightly criticizes the “Aadhar”. The movie is believed to base on a myth of
“Nale ba” which can be translated as “come tomorrow”. When it is asked to
director about the story he has very interesting and ambiguous answer.
When asked if the story is true, Kaushik gave a rather ambiguous answer.
“Everyone interprets a story differently. And I have also not made it in such a way
to suggest that you have to believe it or not believe it. It really depends on the
perspective of the viewer. The story is out there. It’s happening in our country. It’s
up to you whether you want to believe it or not.” (taken from here)
Now it is up to us that we interpret his words in which context. The movie is worth
69
watching. After watching it I come to know that it is not mere a horror or comic
story it has something to say if one listens carefully.
9.Midnight's Children:
-Abulhasan Abedi
'Midnight's children' is a novel written by British-Indian Novelist
Salman Rushdie and filmed by Deepa Mehta. The film was very
popular in foreign countries and well criticized in India also. The
film didn't cover up all the things written deeply in the novel due
to time period of the movie so it's looks like the collage of many
things like history, culture, Colonialism. Freedom movement,
etc. The story of the film begun with the year of 1917, the birth
year of Indira Gandhi and end with the emergency or we can say
that the last stage of Indira Gandhi's Life. So, some may have
question that why the protagonist of the film narrated the the
history before the thirty years when he was not in her mother's womb? Well, I don't know why
Rushdie connected Indira Gandhi's era throughout the film; we must read the novel to understand
the connection. The story about the Children who were born in the stroke of the midnight 15th
august 1947 with the magical power, in which two major character like Saleem Sinai, the
protagonist belong to reach family while the Shiva who was born in poor family later joined the
Army and fought in the battle with Pakistan to free Bangladesh. The main idea of hybridity in
culture and identity we can see in the movie, as per the quote 'Let reach to be poor and poor to be
reach' Saleem, actually, the son of British man William Methwold and poor Marathian lady and
the Shiva was the son of Ahemad Sinai and Amina, but, Mary, a nurse in the hospital changed
these both baby boy with each other because her lover was a Marxist and pursued mary to protest
against elite class. Furthemore, Saleem went to Pakistan and Shiva Joined Indian Army, so here
we can see the partition of India and Pakistan. Later on, after the war, Saleem came to India, his
mother land and marry with Parvati, beloved of Shiva and she gave birth to baby boy who was
the son of shiva so, we again see the hybridity. And also we can see the culture of India like
snake Charmer. SO, this way movie ended through various perspectives.Here, also the good use
of background music which symbolizes many things, the nose of Ghani family also a symbol.
The narrative techniques also used in very good way to understand the story. And also a camera
focus was excellent, while the Tajmahal scene came that time camera focused more on the poor
conditioned house rather than Tajmahal. So, here film tried to show the real India through
camera technique.
70
Postcolonial point of view:
• Hybridity:
• Miscegenation:
• Postcolonial Feminism:
• Hybridity: Hybridity means something that is formed by combining two or more things. Here,
in the movie we can see the hybridity in the identity, Saleem is the perfect example of hybrid
man, who was the son of colonizer and poor Indian lady and also the other character, Shiva was
another example of hybrid man who was the son of Muslim parents. If we see the hybridity in
culture then we can give the example of west (Methwold) and east (Poor Indian lady) and also
Sikh(Picturesingh) with Hindu(Parvati)culture mixed each other.
• Miscegenation: As per the definition of Merriam Webster dictionary, Miscegenation means a
mixture of races; especially: marriage, cohabitation, or sexual intercourse between a white
person and a member of another race. In the movie we can find the sexual relation between
White colonizer Methwold with black skin Indian Poor lady and another sexual relationship with
white Saleem with black skinned Parvati. So, in this way postcolonialist studies the mixture of
identity and culture.
• Postcolonial Feminism: Postcolonial theorist also studies the culture and literature with the
feminist perspective. In the beginning of the movie Doctor did not allow to examine Naseem's
illness to see her body, there a curtain between doctor and Naseem and her father said that”You
Europe returned chappies forget certain things. Doctor Sahib, my daughter is a decent girl, it
goes without saying. She does not flaunt her body under the noses of strange men. You will
never understand that you can not be permitted to see her, no, no, not in any circumstances;
accordingly. I have required her to be positioned behind that sheet. She stands there, like a good
girl(Rushdie 2011)."
Another examples is when Mumtaz, Saleem's mother got married with Ahemad Sinai, that time
Ahemad gave her new name Amina. So, we can see the power of patriarchy in the movie and
also a exploitation of poor Indian lady by Britisher Methwold.
• Magic Realism: Magic realism also a part of postcolonial studies. Magic Realism is a narrative
style which is add beauty to the historical representation in the movie otherwise it is boring to
watch. The Midnight's Children were not ordinary kids but they have power, like, Saleem has
power of sense of smell to feeling the different things and people whereas Parvati also has power
like Abrakadabra to hide people or things in the basket.
So, in this way we can see the movie with the various approaches like magic realism,
Miscegenation, Hybridity in identity and in culture and also see with the postcolonial
perspective.
10. Review: Mourning Becomes Electra
-Hema Goswami
On 24 September, We have watched the film version
of Mourning Becomes Electra which was directed by Dudley
Nichols (1947) at our Department of English. We cannot find
71
any major difference between the film version and the original play. Most of the things,
dialogues are same as in the original text.
Mourning becomes Electra is a play written by Eugene O' Neill. He has included many themes in
this short play and also takes the base of Oedipus and Electra myths
Themes of the play: Guilt, Oedipus Complex, Electra Complex
War, Inner conflict, Death/ suicide, Influence of past/ treatment of mask.
Let us discuss each and every theme in detail-
i) Theme of Guilt
We can see the Guilt conscious in the character of Lavinia, Christine and Orin. Lavinia is the
only Manon who survives till the end. But she is the most unfortunate one who is living like a
dead. She remains all alone in the end. Then she realized her mistake, what harms she did to her
family. She cajole her brother to kill Adam Brant, and also coax him against her mother. She also
tries to cajole her father against her mother. In this way at last nothing remains, only guilt was
there in her mind.
The guilt of Christine is reflected in the play when she commits suicide. She realised that she has
done wrong or also feels herself all alone without her son Orin, who is now in the side of Lavinia
and her Lover Adam Brant.
Orin treats her mother badly after the cajoling of his sister Lavinia. Then afterwards when
Christine commit suicide, he realised his guilt and in the end he also did the same, committed
suicide.
ii) Oedipus complex
In the character of Orin, we find Oedipus complex. He is so much obsessed to his mother
Christine. After returning from war, he spends all his time with his mother and didn't give time to
his sister Lavinia. The way he is behaving with his mother, is not like son, but like her husband.
He even didn't wants to marry with Hazel, because he just wants to be in company of his mother
only.
iii) Electra ComplexThe obsession of daughter with her father is seen as Electra complex. In
this play the daughter Lavinia cares for her father very much and even she didn't want to leave
him. She always portrays herself as an over protective daughter. When she comes to know about
the extra marital affair of her mother then she became angry and started quarreling with her
mother that how can she thinks of doing cheating with her loyal husband. Lavinia thinks of
taking revenge against her mother only because of her father. Christine killed Ezra Mannon, just
because she wants to live with her lover Adam Brant. These all things make us aware about the
strong bonding between daughter and father, rather than mother and daughter.
iv) Theme of War
In this play both, father and the son came from war. But they are more insecure at their home
rather than to remain, or fighting in war. Ezra Mannon after returning from war comes to know
about the extra marital affair of his wife. And feels like cheated. Christine justifies her act of
unfaithfulness towards her husband, and also murdered Ezra, to stay happily with her lover
Adam Brant.
72
On the Other side, Orin also returns from war and finds his home insecure, when he comes to
know about the murder of his father. He started hating his mother Christine. But at the end he
realized that it was only because of Lavinia, this all things happen and also realized his guilt after
the suicidal act of Christine. Then afterwards at the end he decides to commit suicide.
In this way war was not shown here as disastrous, or something terrible, out of which no one can
rescue, no one can come out, but it is the home which is reflected as more dreadful than war,
where both the soldiers met to their final end of life. They won't be able to fight bravely, as like
they did on the frontiers. The scattered relationship, unfaithfulness, among the family members is
presented as more terrible than the war. Therefore here war comes as just a name, nothing is
shown about it. No fights, no death, nothing.
v) Inner conflict
There is always inner conflict going on in the mind of the characters. All characters are facing
some kind of conflict inside. Christine thinks a lot what to do or what not to do. Then finally she
reveals her secret and murdered Ezra. She is also scared from her daughter, that whether she has
told everything to Orin or not, about her act of murder. These all kinds of thoughts are coming in
her mind. At last when Orin killed Adam. She thinks that now she became all alone and there is
no one with whom she can stay, and this conflict leads to suicide, she attempt suicide and finds it
as a solution to escape from the life.
vi) Death/ suicide
Two characters in the play commit suicide (Christine and Orin) and two gets murdered (Ezra
Mannon and Adam Brant). In this way death theme remains in the play. At the end no one
survive except Lavinia, among the Mannon family.
vii) Influence of past/ treatment of mask
In the play, there always remains the influence of past over present. After the death of Ezra
Mannon and Christine Mannon their daughter and son became same as they are. They make the
past live into the present. They are not only bringing similarity by their look, but by their nature
also. Lavinia resemble totally with her mother and Orin with his father. Both are carrying same
characteristics from their parents. In this way even after the death, their influence remains in the
present in form of their daughter and son. The same look of son and daughter is also called the
treatment of mask, as it looks like they have worn the mask of their parents.

Book Review
1.Frankenstein
-Krishna Dobariya
Mary Shelly
I read illustrated classics series of Frankenstein.
Originally written by Marry Shelley and here, I am
sharing my views on book as book review. Mary
Shelley was born on August, 30,1797. Her mother died
immediately after giving birth to her. Mary married the poet P.B.Shelley in 1814.
In 1816, the Shelleys visited Lord Byron on Lake Geneva. It was here that Mary
got the idea for writing her novel, Frankenstein. This book made her famous.
Mary, however, always remained in need of novels. She wrote novels, articles,
poems, and short stories. In 1826, The Last man was published. Mary Shelley died
in 1851.In this book there are 26 chapters. The language is used very simple in this
book. This book creates more interest by giving pictures. The pictures are very
attracted. There are 222 pages in this book. I read this book twice in a day.
Frankenstein is an old classic about a scientist who creates a monster. Victor
Frankenstein is a hard working young man. He discovers how to give life to an
inanimate body and uses his knowledge to create a man monster. I liked the
chapters in the story that were narrated by the monster. We can see that Victor
Frankenstein was arrogant and self-righteous. This book is very heart touching, it
is not horror story. The story was exceptionally well told and the writing definitely
brings it to life. It's hard to believe that it came from the imagination of a 19 years
old girl writing in 1818.

2.The Kite Runner
-Reena Khasatiya
Khaled Hosseni
Published 2003
74
Khaled Hosseini is an Afghan born American novelist and physician and he is
famous for his three novels
- Thousands Splendid Suns
- And the Moutains Elchoed
- The Kite Runner
Recently I completed the Kite Runner, before the reading of Kite Runner, I don't
know the defination or meaning of pain.. Pain of redemption...
Pain of love in friendship... Pain for survival and better life... Is wonderfully
captured by Khaled Hosseini. Begining is quite different than end, and in other
words colors of fertility dried up in end. Author narrates about his own
country Afghanistan, the land of Pashtuns. Pashtuns are the group of people they
knows themselves as 'Pure & True Afghans'. They believe that flat nose people
means other group of people which is known as Hazara are pollutes Afghans.
Though in heart of Afghanistan Hope, Struggle, Chaos and Pride for what they
have.
In the books there is many lines through that we can understand or see boundries of
orthodoxy. Amir and Hassan both are the hero of our story. Amir is pashtun and
Hassan is an only boy of Ali and they coming from Hazara group, they are
working as servitor in Amir's house. There is many suspence opens in the end of
book, in letter of Rahim Khan, who is the best friend Amir and Amir's father, but
m not going to tell you summury, by doing that may I will spoile your eagerness of
reading this book! Assef is the character who fit in binaries oppsite side of Amir.
Assef have rigid mentality for his nation and he wants to apply Hitler's Ideas to
Afghanistan. He hate Hazaras and friendship of Hassan and Amir is spit in his eyes
like gravels. There is one dialouge in Assef's mouth that... " Afghanistan is the land
of Pashtuns. It always has been, always will be. We are the true Afghans, the pure
Afghans, not this Flat-Nose here. His people pollute our homeland, our watan.
They dirty our blood." He made a sweeping, grandiose gesture with his hands.
"Afghanistan for Pashtuns, I say. That's my vision." This is the picture of racism
drawn in book. Amir lost his mother with his birth and believe that his farher is
hate him for this reason and all he want is his father's love, for that he cheat with
75
Hassan, Cheat with Hassan's deep faith in their friendship, cheat with tree on that
they wrote their name..."Amir and Hassan Sultan of Kabul".
Their friendship born in fire of Assef's ruthlessness and cindery of that always burn
as redemption in heart of Amir, and that's how whole story goes on.
Archetype of literature beautifully changes with the scene of life a begining's
Kabul with full of joy presents in fruit of cherry and juicy pomegranate, but the
'dead wall' means the bud of plants which never grows in Amir's garden, though
his father every year sow a seed , this Seed is the symbol of Hope. As the curtain
opens after fade out and scene change sameway frutifulness turned into ruined wall
at the end. Boundries is another symbol , through that we can say that when
someone have to go on permanant vacation means in search of home, peace... And
they are leaving not only home but they are leaving their life's precious past, their
whole age passed there. This everything one can not brings beyond boundry. Kite
is in the centre of Novel 'For the kite they love & Kite made them apart Apart for
always'. After leaving Afghanistan Amir face with real struggle for life in pakistan
and then in America. He marry with the lady Soraya, death of his father is portyard
as death of Afghanistan in America, which is lived in heart of him.
Last visit by Amir in Homeland, shows the terrible scene and cruelty of Talibans.
Peoples suffuring for life, craving for food. Scene in that one man selling his
artificial leg for money, another scene is people were gather in ground and in
centre there is couple and as part of punishment people throwing stone over them.
Effect of Taliban's made Afghan devastates.

3."Tatvamasi”
-Dharaba Rayjada
Author: Dhruv Bhatt
“Tatvamasi” – you are everything. How difficult it
is to tell someone this words and actually mean it.
We mostly believe in “Aham Brahmasmi” – I am
Bramh or I am everything. But the novel of Dhruv
Bhatt have the title “Tatvamasi” and the novel can
actually make us feel the same. Dhruv Bhatt is
76
Gujarati novelist and poet. He wrote “Tatvamasi” in 1998, which won the "Sahitya
Akademi Award" and it is considered as one of his notable works. This is the first
novel of Dhruv Bhatt, I’ve read. The narrator is reading the diary of one student
who has come from foreign to the India, to the village near Narmada river to study
the tribal people and also to develop and use their human power in different and
productive way, but he ended living with those tribal people forever. Dhruv Bhatt
has used very refined Gujarati language but he also shows the colloquial language
of tribal people. He has great ability to portray nature very elegantly. He can
capture very tiny details about everything and emotions in words, then even he also
feels sometimes that language has its own limitations. It is written in the novel that
for some emotions he can not find appropriate word and some emotions can not be
captured by words.
We can see how paradoxically he has captured everything in words. He has
something to say about everything like for water, for earth, for human, for animals,
for sun, for moon, for day, for night, for happiness, for sadness, for fear, for
delight, for village, for city, for rain, for fire, for deity, for witch, for birds and for
sky and the starts also. Every single character (here I use ‘character’ because non –
living things also has tongue) in his novel has some role to play. He is very good
observer of nature. The novel describes the hard life of tribal people but even after
this hardship of life they are happy and satisfy in between nature. They don’t have
any special facilities to live life then even our protagonist choose to live with them.
In the very beginning we find that our protagonist has very rational thinking but as
story moves we come to know that, that rational thinking is not natural but a mask
which he wants to wear and with all his mind he wants to keep this mask but his
heart not allowing him to do such things. We can find reason of this in novel it self
that he brought up in a atmosphere where emotions are more important than
anything else but as he moves to the foreign where he is not able to find such
people he also tries to be like them but as soon as he get back to the surroundings
of emotions he again get his original self and stick with it. On the other hand we
have character of Lucy, she is foreigner and we can see in her that she has
rationality in her blood. She has ability to make other people believe her and very
gracefully she mixed with all new fellows and also can take out information which
she want from people’s mouth. Wherever she goes she her self becomes one of like
them, enjoy every culture and their life style but as soon as time comes she
77
becomes the one she is. She don’t regret on leaving places she do every thing for
increasing her knowledge only.
Among all these things the nature and the tribal people are at the center. We can
see how minutely Dhruv Bhatt has described the honesty and innocence of tribal
people. Every word full with feelings, and some are also able to make your eyes
wet. He also shows how their life style and culture is connected with their
surroundings. They are living in forest that’s why they also consider Narmada river
and teak tree as their god and deity. Here Dhruv Bhatt also describe that though
they believe in religious identity but they consider their duty as their religion which
they will fulfill by heart and at any coast. These people has some blind faith also
and for that they can be ready to kill people also. Dhruv Bhatt very gracefully
shows the pure heart of the forest fellows. With beautiful heart they have also get
powerful brain. They make their weapons and home by them selves. They also
have some skills related their surrounding nature and about stars. These all
knowledge they get by observing the nature and from ages their forefathers have
given all these knowledge. All together the pictorial quality of Dhruv Bhatt has
played vital role to take this novel at height. I also have some questions, like how
can a narrator knows the things from the lost pages of dairy?, why Supriya’s
mother Vinita becomes “Kalewali Maa”?.....

4.One Night @ The Call Cente-
Jyotiba Gohil
Author: Chetan Bhagat
The novel on@cc is written by Chetan Bhagat.
He consider as a popular writer in India. He
specially known for his Indian English novels
about young urban middle class people in
India. The reason behind his popularity is
Simple English language because of it many
78
people started reading English. Second he writes about problems related Youth.
The novel opened in very interesting way. The writer put one activity to gave 3
answer before reading the novel.
1) One thing I fear
2) One thing that makes me angry
3) One thing I do not like about myself.
This activity helping us in identifying our strength and weakness. By doing this
type of mental process it help us to overcome from our weakness. It is very
innovative way to enter in the novel. It is very well connected with the
novel. Chetan Bhagat makes very good use of prologue and epilogue in his novel.
In prologue, writer himself came as character and talked with the lady who told the
story on the condition that he has to write a book on it. The writer presented in
prologue and told that how they got inspiration. After heard the story he collected
deep information about call center employees. In epilogue described the
alternative reading. The lady gave alternative reading of the novel by replacing
God lines with Military uncle. The writer has lack of Historical sense , social and
philosophical sense as well as Mythical sense. He was not able to justified his
narrative. One night at the call center also consider as Popular Literature.Popular
literature means those writings intended for the Masses and favour with large
audiences. It is different from artistic literature. It only designed for the
entertainment. Popular literature has ,
1) Lack of deep philosophy
2) Lack of deep spirituality
3) Not deals with abstract problems
4) Lack of morality / humanity
5) Not challenges the belief of people
6) Unacceptable solutions
7) Lack of intellectualism
So popular literature has this kind of structure of the works. In the one night at the
call center shows the solutions of the problems through character of God. It has not
intellectual solution of problems. The call from God is not deeply connected
anywhere. The solution of problems not acceptable in social formation. It not
challenges people to think upon their believes. The solution of problems goes like
drama. It is not giving deep philosophy and intellectual solution. Virginia woolf 's
novel has deep intellectual and philosophical ideals. It shows the intellectual
79
growth of writer while here writer still not go deeply in the novel. The solution of
problems are like makeover not real intellectual growth of people. Chetan Bhagat
consider as the popular writer because he deals with problems of common people.
He using very simple English language because of it many people can start reading
English novels. It makes him popular writer.
In the novel describes various use of technology. The novel is considered as
Cyberpunk novel. Cyberpunk is the post modern scientific genre. It is connected
with science and technology, hackers, cybernetics and information. In the novel
characters deals with email, bug, radio, Ms word. In the novel corporate world
controls the job of workers. Vroom and Shyam used bug in MS office as virus
attack for terrified American people. It increased the calls in call center and save
the jobs of workers. Vroom used mail to blackmail his boss Bakshi. So with the
help of teachnology everything was solved. Technology becomes the
resolving force in the novel. Thus the novel can be categorised as cyberpunk
novel.
In the novel also talked about the complexity in the relationship. Also it talked
about the condition of woman in the society through the characters of Isha,
Priyanka and Radhika. They were mistreated and cheated by men. This novel also
focuses on the problems on the Youth.…..

5.Revolution 2020
-Zankhana Matholiya
The word revolution comes from the Latin word ‘
revolvere’. It means a change in the way a country
is governed, usually by a different political system
and often using violence and war. "This novel is
X- Ray image of our Political and Education
system." In this novel we find satire on politics
and education system. We can say that novel has
the plot of education system and politics. One of
the most famous popular writer Chetan
Bhagat writes so many novels, . " Revolution
2020" is written by Chetan Bhagat. The story
80
revolves around the narrator Gopal as he shares his experiences with the author.As
usual, this time as well the names of the main characters have been taken
from Hindu mythology.
Revolution-2020 happens in three stages in Chetan Bhagat’s novel and is listed as
love, ambition and corruption in the novel of Revolution-2020. All these three
stages are played by Gopal, Aarti and Raghav –characters in the novel.Gopal,
Raghav and Aarti have their own ambition in life. Gopal wants to be a rich man,
Raghav wants to change the world and Aarti wants to become an air hostess. The
story is about Gopal’s consistent failures to crack an entrance exam which would
help him a clean entry in an IIT. He loves a girl Aarti, who considers him just as a
best friend and is in love with Gopal’s childhood friendRaghav. Gopal tries to
propose Aarti on many occasions but every time Aarti forbids him to do so.
"Imagine every Sadhu and priest in Varanasi more than all their devotion put
together, that’s how much I loved her."
These lines of Gopal reminds the lines of Hamlet, where Hamlet explains his love
for Ophelia beyond any match.
“I loved Ophelia, forty thousand brothers could not with all their quantity of
love, make up my sum.”
Gopal, the son of a retired school teacher, ridden with debt and litigation was
bound to fall head first and hard in love with the daughter of the District Magistrate
from the importunate day he decided to steal a slab of the chocolate cake; she had
brought in her tiffin box for lunch. The unmatched friendship, between rich and
poor like Bollywood movies. Character wise Aarti is not unlike the female
characters of the real society, who very easily compromise with the situation .
Aarti, the insecure one, gropes for the possibilities. Her character and her dealing
with Raghav and Gopal remind the Eighteenth century woman's. After the failure
in getting through JEE and AIEEE exams, Gopal is forced by
his father to repeat the exam next year. For that reason, Gopal was forced to
stay at Kota,the Gateway of JEE and AIEEE.

Meluha is my favourite book because in this story I find many great things like
• Cast of people is decided by there karma not by birth
• Advancement in medicine, archetype, way of life
• rule of vikarma is bad but after some time its break by shiva
• I like idea that all gods were once human beings.
I like to read this story because this story base on idea that all human beings are
capable to made themselves famous as gods

SHRIMAD RAJCHANDRAJI
Shrimad Rajchandraji is the epitome of an intense and incessant pursuit of spirituality.
Shrimadji was born on the auspicious day of Kartik Purnima on 9th November, 1867 in Vavania,
Gujarat.
A perfect blend of pure knowledge, selfless devotion, and complete detachment, Shrimadji
attained self-realisation at the age of 23.
He spent months in seclusion, absorbed in the ecstasy of the Self. His compassion for the world
flowed in the form of Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra, a masterpiece in philosophical literature.
On Chaitra Vad Pancham, 9th April 1901, at the age of 33, Shrimadji left His mortal body in
Rajkot.
His preachings have been published in an invaluable volume 'Shrimad Rajchandra', which
continues to quench the thirst of true seekers.
Through ashrams, temples, and institutions dedicated to Shrimadji around the world, lakhs of
devotees are benefiting from His teachings and progressing on the spiritual path.
Relations between Gandhiji and Raychandji
According to play{ how Gandhi met Shrimad for the first time after returning from England in
1891. Even after Gandhi moved to South Africa, the meetings still continued not personally but
through letters. These letters played a pivotal role in shaping Gandhi’s character. Their honest
friendship blossomed and Gandhi proclaimed Shrimad as his spiritual mentor. Shrimad was the
one who inherited principles of truth, ahimsa and dharma which were later crystallized as the
fundamental tenets of Gandhism. Shrimad left at an early age of 33 and the letters composed by
him were then, the only companion of Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi remained indebted to the
teachings of his mentor and now he is celebrated as the global messenger of non-violence.
Brief summary of play in my words
I was Shocked as well as in wonder after watching "AVDHAN" OF KAVIJI ; how is this
possible a person could remember 50 words of different languages with in a one time reading ?
my mind was totally blanked and i STRONGLY wishes to stand and give a big salute to
KAVIJI; and then one by one we are getting knowledge about 'AVDHAN'; we also became
familiar with SATYA/TRUTH -AHINSA/NON VIOLENCE - ETC. PLOT OF play was very
84
well designed, they used flashback technique and once again i was shocked when they use
wheels in stage performance because i know that it was not easy to handle or control body while
performing on wheels . They used full stage during play , they properly portrays images of death
, love, care, sacrifices, hope;play also gave spiritual touch to it's audience and there are no words
with me to express my feelings ; i think i have only one word UNBELIEVABLE .
Over all play was highly technical from its lightning effect, background music to the role played
by characters.
2. Digdarshak
-Hema Goswami
The play Digdarshak is very unique in its own theme. It is about the struggle of the
hero, who started his journey from a drama artist. He promised to his drama
teacher that he never went to the line of film industry, but still he breaks his
promise and becomes hero of the industry. This is also the play of sacrifice that
how one sacrifice his life, his family for his work.
While watching the play we feel catharsis at the scene where the drammatist gives
the money to his pupil whom he saves for his own son to educate him in foreign
countries. The teacher remains totally detached from his family members to make
his pupil a perfect drama artist but still that pupil left him alone.
In one sense we feel that the teacher has to expand his thoughts and has to come
out to the world of industry to show his talent for progress. But if we think as a
pure dramatist we find that an artist who loves his stage and had given his entire
hard work to it, never want to leave that platform.
So this is all about the play that how the drama artist are struggled to make their
own identity and how they raise their dislike for film industery.

By silence we are not proving our self genius...

For the first time when I saw you,
Calm, gentle and true;
Different from others;
We both have same thoughts,
And so does the words.
It was always great to talk to you;
I used to say.
You are like an angel;
I used to believe.
We came close,
Disturbed, harsh and cunning;
Nothing like I fall for;
Nothing like I assume;
What is this;
I often asked.
Why this change;

I often think.
The smirk appeared,
“Gotcha”

I was planned.
I always win.

2.The Lucky Charm
“Look you are not getting it. It is really important for me. Can you please help
me?” “I understand you sir but I am afraid I can’t do anything to help you sir. I
am extremely sorry sir.” After saying that manager left me with my own
thoughts. I was literally in depression. When yesterday I was leaving for airport
from my home, I heard the voice of my mom from back she was saying, “Have
you taken our lucky charm?” and I answered yes. And now I have lost it. It was
not something which is my personal. It was of our family. The lucky charm
which every one has passed through generations and now I have lost it. What I
am going to tell my mom. I was in extreme guilt and confusion of what to do
next and what will happen next.
With all these things I have one another tension of our important business deal
for which I am here in this position. I came to Agra to finalize the deal, but now
I am in confusion whether the party will agree with us or not because I have
lost our lucky charm. After all lucky charm was more important then the
business meeting. If I had denied to come for this meeting nothing would
96
happen. I would have our lucky charm with me, but now I know there is not a
single chance that I can bring it back. I came back to the side of swimming pool,
sat there and was gazing the water.
“Yes mom, It seems that Mr. Chandra will agree with us. Yes I have just
completed meeting and now I am at swimming pool to get bit of relaxation.
Yes the presentation goes very well mom. I will be back till tomorrow evening.
In the morning I have to meet Mr. Chandra again for final discussions. See you
then mom. Take care.” And I cut the call.
I was walking besides the pool at that time, and that was the time when I
dropped it in to the water and I also didn’t notice it. When I actually notice it, it
was late. The water of the pool has changed and my lucky charm has gone in to
the trash, and trash also gone with trash truck. I am completely blank. I was
thinking of calling mom and tell her everything but I couldn’t get courage to do it.
I was surfing on the internet random things like, how to gather courage to
confess your crime? in hope of getting some solution and yes it works.
I ran towards my room, quickly did everything needed. I can not sleep whole
night. I have to reach meeting point at 8 o’clock. I met Mr. Chandra. He was
happy with our policies and so the deal successfully gets finalized. I again reach
to my hotel, was packing for leaving to the airport. Only one hour left and I still
didn’t get our lucky charm. Suddenly someone knocked on the door. I ran to
open it. I’ve got my product which was ordered online. I pay double than the
price for having it urgently. I open it as fast as I can and when I saw it I was just
on cloud nine. It looked like the same Silver Pen as one which I’ve lost. How
foolish I was. Our lucky charm is belongs to very famous and old pen company.
I can easily get the another one and no one can identify it. I emptied out the
refill of pen and put it again in my pocket. When I reached home, mom asked
me about meeting. I told her that it was successful, then she came to me,
touched the pen which was in my pocket and said that, “We can not fail,
because we have our lucky charm always with us.” I just nodded. I was more
happy then my mom. One reason was of course the deal, but second reason
was the realization of fickleness of Lucky Charms.

3. Speech
On the day of results annoucement, I participated in Ds's
column 'Thought for the day' in that I mentioned Steve Jobs
one quote that... "Your time is limited so don't waste it living
someone else's life. Don't be trapped by Dogma - which is
living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the
noise of others' voice. And most important, have the courage
to follow your heart and intuition.
Apart from that I said few lines about Emotions because the
result special DS was full of variety of emotions, and in
context of that I took refrence of Robert Frost's line that..
“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the
thought has found words.” ― Robert Frost
Emotions are fickle. Sometimes they’re clear and brilliant: we’re happy, sad, frustrated, or angry.
But emotions can also be complicated, layered, and conflicting. Sure, we’re happy, but we’re
also kind of annoyed about something. We’re sad, but we also have something to be glad about.
When emotions are textured and gritty, they are difficult to describe, though my classmates tried
out their pen in form of poems and shortstory.

Academic tour to Junagadh-2019
-Hema Goswami
5-6 February
A tour is a journey for pleasure in which several
different places are visited, but when we include
the word 'Academic' before the word 'tour' then
its meaning extend to Academic Interactions
with the students and teachers of college,
university, school. In these two days of
Academic tour we enjoyed a lot. But with
enjoyment we have learnt so many things also.
Let me tell you from the first to last place of our
visit.
1. Bahauddin College
We departed from very early morning
from Bhavnagar to reach at time to our
first place Bahauddin College because it
will be close at 12 p.m. First we have seen
the old architecture of college. It was
amazing. The structure reminds us of
history. It was inaugurated by Lord
Curzon. Earlier there are 52 gates but one
gate is closed afterwards because as per
106
the myth to have 51 gates is luckiest than 52. People consider 51 as lucky number.
52nd gate in middle
The building structure was based on Muslim Sthapatya. We have seen the huge seminar hall
with mind-blowing art work on wooden. The ceiling was made up of wooden. Normally terrace
gate will not open for students. But we have seen terrace also. The beauty of art was
mesmerizing.
wooden ceiling
Then afterwards we have an interaction session with B.A English students. We tell them about
our departmental activities especially about our blogs. They asked about net/set also. We have
seen curiosity in their eyes to know about net/set, many of them are preparing. It was strange
because when I was in bachelor, I don't even hear about any exam like Net/set. Then they asked
about our you tube channel. As we all have our channel in which we are uploading videos of our
107
presentation. After the interaction session we visited the library. There were oldest and rarest
books. The names of writer and their work are too strange for us which we have not heard.
There are so many Ideas that we need to take from their computer lab because the students are
preparing for net-set, they have made charts on the history of English literature. Much creativity
is used in making posters or adding bulletin points about the history.
We had taken our breakfast there and then moves to our second place of visit that is Sakkarbaug
Zoological Garden.

2. Sakkarbaug Zoological Garden
After academical things we move towards
the entertainment site that is one of most
amazing zoo Sakkarbaug. There we have
seen the rarest species of birds and
animals like White tiger, Ostrich and so
many. We have also seen skulls of the lost
species and then afterwards taken lunch.
3. Uparkot
Uparkot is the hubs of Tourism with oldest forts,
Adhikati vav stepwell, Ranki devi mahal,
Buddhist caves, Navghan kuvo, Lashkari vav and
so many other places. We can remember the
history of Junagadh through Uparkot. The
beautiful architecture of very ancient times from
the rule of King and Queens becomes the place
of attraction for many foreigners. It is the place where Amitabh Bachhan' shoot about "Khusboo
Gujarat ki" to promote Gujarat tourism being made.
4. Ashok Shilalekh
Then we went to see Ashok Shilalekh where we paid rs 25. The 3rd century B.C saw extension
of the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka's rule over Saurashtra as attested to by his famous 14th rock
edicts at Girnar, Junagadh. Ashoka chose slopes of the Girnar hill and got his fourteen Rock
Edicts engraved on the north east face of a Granite boulder at the foot of the hill.
5. Damodar Kund
109
The last place of visit for 5th date is the sacred Damodar Kund. According to Hindu mythology
many prefers to bath here and immerse the ashes and bones into it. There is belief that departed
soul get moksha in this kund. There is Damodar Hari Temple also. This is satirical that even if
Hindu considered it most sacred Kund, they pollute it more than any other people. Like they used
to worship Kund by lighting the lamp, Joss stick and by throwing flowers, food, coins into it.
6. Bharti Ashram
We all stay at Bharti Ashram, where there is free distribution of food. There is ongoing
Annakshetra for the travellers or for the students who are living in hostel.
7. Dattatrey Temple
On next morning we took risk of climbing Datta, but we are able to climb 900 steps only. There
are total 9999 steps, it was a daunting task. Two of my friends climb 5000 steps and reached
Ambaji, but then they also returned because of shortage of time, as we need to depart from
Bharti Ashram at 8 am.
8. Bhavnath Temple
Then we have seen Bhavnath Temple which is nearby the Ashram. As per the myth the Shivling
is said to have emerged of its own divine intention. Mrigi Kund is the place where Naga Bavas
used to bathe before Shivratri parva. It is belief that one from the Naga Bavas is Lord Shiva
himself who took bath and never comes out of the kund. This happens every year.
9. Rupayatan Ashram
The most beautiful place for study is Rupayatan
school of Junagadh. We had an interesting
session here. Many students from our
department interacted with small children and
make them sing a song. Our professor also
shared one of the best moral story of Dr. APJ
Abdul Kalam to make students aware about the
positvity in life. We have seen that the children
are very curious to learn English language and
many of them spoke about themselves in
English. The education system is better than other schools because many children come out
shame and gave answers of each question which were asked to them by Professor or by students.
One thing which I have noticed that no one wants to become a teacher or professor all wish to
become, IAS Officer, Doctor, Engineer etc. Cinema plays a vital role in building the mentality in
children that IAS officer, Police, Engineer, Doctor are best jobs than other. Children are also
influenced by the portrayal of action hero of Bollywood which are fictitious police characters.
There is one interesting place "Divyasetu Darshan" from where we can see the mount Girnar and
the shape of sleeping Rishi clearly.
110
10. Mahabat Makbara
After Rupayatan AshramShala, we went to
visit the most beautiful Mahabat Makbara.
We can see the influence of Lucknow's
Islamic Sthapatya sheili and Hyderabad sheili
into it. This Makbara is the best example of
Western Islamic architecture. This is built on
the grave of Junagadh Nawab Mahobat
Khanji Bija in 1892.
11. Willingdon Dam
Willingdon dam is also one of the best places of natural beauty. This dam is built on the river
kalwa. It was named after Lord Willingdon. It is a beautiful picnic spot.
12. Bhakta Kavi Narsinh Mehta University
The last place of our visit is Bhakta Kavi Narsinh Mehta University where we had an interesting
session with newly made Vice chancellor Chetan Trivedi sir. It becomes surprise for us because
the day when we are planning to visit their university he was a professor only but before two
days of our tour he became the Vice Chancellor. We all have taken Lunch there and then interact
with students.
Presentations by students
There were presentations by Documentation
and ICT committee leaders. I and Ramiz
Solanki gave brief introduction about our
works. We have seen lots of simmilarties
between their and our department. Most of the
activities are same. they are also doing daily
schedule every day, they have same numbers of
committees and so on. They are also using ICT
in learning English literature.
Mr. Clement(research scholar) also presented
on Academic writing. After that there was
wonderful performance of mimicry by Nirav
Makwana, song by Dr Rupa Danger, youth winning Drama performance, Sanskrit song by on of
the student. Many students from our department also presents themselves with creative poems,
111
song.
In this way our two day tour ended with lots of memorable moments. It not only gave pleasure
but also becomes one of the best interactive academic tours, in which we met students from
different college, University and saw their way of learning. Interaction with Rupayatan school
children is also worthy where we have find curiosity of learning in children who are the future of
India. I would like to thanks our professor Dilip Barad for making out tour interesting and
knowledge gaining.

Academic workshop on

in Examination
10, April 2018 and
29 November 2018
The error analysis of answebooks helped us
identify common errors made by students.
Almost 50% to 60% of the students need
both accuracy and precision in the use of
English language for the specific purpose to
write Answer Papers at Post Graduate level.
Most of them make common grammar errors
of subject - verb agreement, uniformity in the
use of tense, apt use of punctuation marks and spellings.
Some 20% who are are good in language and grammar have problem in vocabulary and using
connectors like additive, causative and contrastive. They need guidance in connecting the flow of
thoughts through sentence connectors so as to have an apt trajectory in the answer.
The top 20% of students, who are good in language and grammar skill need to concentrate on
quality and trajectory of the answer. 'Apt quotes from original texts' and 'Quotes of the critics' from
their seminal works can be those beautiful ornaments which can add exquisite charm to the
answers.
Lastly, when all these things are taken care of, the trajectory of the answer should be precisely and
accurately taking care of and faithful to the Question Asked and not to what students know. They
113
have to surrender to the questions and write (in proper language / grammar , with enriched / apt
vocabulary) what is asked and not what they know.
We also read some worst and a few best answer books.
At the end of discussion, students were asked to give marks to their answebooks on shared
worksheet.
We hope this workshop will help all students to move a step ahead, from wherever they are, in
improving their Answer Paper Writing Skill.
Thanks to Poojaba Jadeja and Milan Parmar for their support and assistance.
#Workshop #AnswerWriting #EssayTypeExam
#Assessment is #OnGoing, #positive and helps improving the level of learners. #Evaluation is
judgmental.
However, in the workshop mode, if the students are given #rubric to #evaluate answers of their
friends, it helps them in proper assessment of their own strengths and weaknesses.
A very useful guidance was given by PhD scholars Vaidehi Hariyani and Ndoricimpa Clement on
collocation, citations in assignments, correctness of English language, appropriate use of connectors
and other common errors.
All classes are of mix abilities and at different level of language competency. There are students who
make grammar errors which is of high-school level i.e. tenses, subject-verb agreement, speech etc.
At the same time, there are students who can teach these topics effectively, however, they fail to
use #connectors and make common #collocation errors.
#Spellings are still matter of grave concern. Don't jump to conclusion that spellings are damaged by
technology-enabled corruption. The students make pre-digital era spelling errors in writing names of
writers and characters, or spell as it is spoken (defin'a'tion). Their spellings are yet to be corrupted by
the influence of digital writing.

    6 From the deskof the Head of the Department: Prof. Dr. Dilip Barad The Memorabilia 2018-19 reminds the sense of an ending. Julian Barnes has rightly said that the sense of an ending is one of the most curious senses. There are ‘senses’ which are very crucial for human beings. The senses like ‘common-sense’ is necessary to understand worldly affairs when our academic sense fails to unlock the enigmatic life. Similarly, ‘civic-sense’ makes us responsible and accountable citizens of the democracy. Likewise, ‘academic- sense’ guides us in using lessons learned in academia at right time and right place. Unlike these senses, political senses is not much valued and talked about. However, for the citizens who are eligible for casting their votes in democracy, this sense is as inevitable as any other. Bertolt Brecht has equated this with literacy and told very boldly that the worst illiterate is the political illiterate. s/he hears nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life . . . and does not seem to know that all citizens life depends on political decisions. Among all these senses, it is ‘historical sense’ which makes a huge difference. In T.S. Eliot’s words - the historical sense involves a perception, not only of the pastness of the past, but of its presence. The historical sense will help in better perception of zeitgeist of our time and space. It is this sense which differentiates people from sheople (sheep + people). We, at Department of English, while teaching English studies, makes an attempt to see that students develop these senses and become more sensible towards their personal lives as well as our society. Coming back to the sense of an ending, the most curious sense of all these high-profile senses. When we get towards the end of two years, when a batch full of students are passing out – some curious feelings engulf and numbs our senses. No! It is not this Keatsian ‘my heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains’ – sort of sense of an ending. It means an end of any likelihood of change in the life. We work very hard and we expect a sort of progressive, positive, and constructive metamorphosis among those with whom we so passionately get involved. At the end of the year, the sense of an ending engulfs. This Memorabilia 2018-19 is nothing but a sort of pensive of all those wonderful memories. It is like that Time-Turner device made by Ministry of Magic in J K Rowling’s Potter series. It is like the Time Machine of H. G. Wells. Turning pages of this memory- booklet is like unwinding the time in Time-Turner or travelling back in the Time Machine. All credit for this sort of meticulous record keeping goes to the Documentation Committee. It is really tough task. However, social media like Facebook is helping a lot to them in keeping records. It was always satisfying to read their posts in the happenings with an interesting write- up and a few photos. It is even more satisfying to revisit all those ‘happenings’ in this Memorabilia, again.
  • 7.
    7 When I lookback at the quality of students who are passing out, I see that these students were a bit quicker in adapting to technology than the previous batches. These students have surprised me on several occasions. From presenting their work in digital form to working on online surveys, or preparing certificates with mail-merge feature, or collecting data, or working in collaboration, or even this Memorabilia itself . . . . With almost professional precision, they used assistive technology. I hope the digital skills they have acquired and honed are going to be very vital in their future career and life. Another unique feature perceived in this batch was their courage and confidence to speak-up and voice their happiness as well as angst and anxiety. Many of them wrote and some even published good poems, short stories, social media posts and blogs. This was the batch on which we worked very hard to improve their English language. Not that these students were very poor in English language. They possessed normal English language skills which is common with all other batches. However, this time we were able to spare time for remedial classes, answer-writing workshops and academic writing workshops. In a way, this batch is fortunate to have many sessions of improving academic English writing skills. Some of them have learned it and displayed the improvement in their writings also. It is a tradition that most of the activities are carried out by students of the Department. They are divided in various committees and those willing to lead become natural leaders. Every year, apart from regular co-curricular activities, some unique activities are also planned by these committee members. This year, • the Library committee planned a visit of Barton Library. This library is historically very important site for all book lovers, • the ICT committee organised workshop for P.G. students of all departments and exposed them to basic digital tools. The entire workshop was conducted by senior students and even the resource persons were members of ICT committee, • the Film Screening committee organised watching Hindi film Uri – The Surgical Strike in the cinema theatre, • the Art and Creativity committee organised various competitions on the occasion of Guru Purnima and made digital display of short stories, paintings, poems, photographs and rangoli and winners were selected by online public voting system, • the Celebration committee celebrated International Day of Yoga at Department, • the credit of maximum participation in Sports and Adventure activities goes to the Sports and Recreation committee, • the Gardening committee carried out projects to support Swacch Bharat / Clean India campaign, • the Daily Schedule committee organised some very courageous debates on challenging issues like Pulwama Terror Attack, Adultery Act section 497 of IPC, LGBT Act section 377 of IPC.

    8 All members ofthe committee from Semester 4 and 2 are appreciated for these unique activities. We know that all humans are not similar. Neither are we born to do similar things in life, nor are we supposed to think alike. We all are unique and the uniqueness shall be maintained, irrespective of what-so-ever-life offers us. In spite of this, the fact remains that this rule does not apply to leaders. The leaders are supposed to be different from other people. The uniqueness of leaders lies in the fact that they are ready to merge and assimilate with one and all. That’s the sure way to lead the people. There is a famous quote ascribed to Bruce Lee: “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” Leader are supposed to be like water. It is glad to see that without knowing all these things most of you have displayed these characteristics. Be with it. In future, you may unlearn many things and relearn also. But do not unlearn these characteristics of leadership which you have acquired by being so – water like! Lastly, keep reading literature. Great readers make for great leaders! Reading literature ripens our maturity. The emotional, intelligence, spiritual, creativity, adversity, and physical quotients (EQ, IQ, SQ, CQ, AQ, PQ of literature students / readers are much higher and deeper than students of any other subjects / discipline. At the same time, I would like to suggest to watch as many films as you can. In this year, we have seen the rise of web streaming services. It has opened new vistas for acquiring all these quotients which altogether makes for literary quotients and literary sensibility. If one wants to put it in arithmetic equation, it shall have an integer of multiplication. So, it can be – LQ = IQ x EQ x SQ x CQ x AQ x PQ. In addition, L = B + eB + F + YT + WS +TV, wherein Literature is equal to books, eBooks, films, YouTube, Web Steaming and Television. Do not nurture bias against these mediums. Do not privilege one over the other. All are equally important for the acquisition of literary quotient. Wish you all the best for your future career and life. Keep sharing your achievements with us. We will make anecdotes out of your achievements and turn you into role-models for upcoming batches of students. - Dilip Barad

We have learnt so many things in the Deptartment of English. It cultivates habit of thinking in our mind. Every student might have the knowledge and information but in which direction this knowledge should be use it might not be known by them, hence the Department has given them the right direction to find their destination. We spend more time in the Department than our home, so for us it is very difficult to leave.

    20 In real sense‘Everyday is Sunday’ in our department because we enjoy each and every day without any type of regret. We love to attend lectures of our beloved professor Dr. Dilip Barad, it doesn’t matter how long the lecture is, sometimes it takes full day but we enjoy thoroughly. One of the best lessons that we learn from Dilip Barad sir is keep plan B ready. Whatever the circumstances are, the show must go on. Therefore, we have to keep plan b ready to deal with any situations. The Department prepared us to face all sorts of challenges in life, we have learnt to overcome fears like stage fear, participation in any events and activities without hesitation. In our Department we share our ideas in daily schedule which make us mentally strong and help build confidence. The Department taught us how to organize events and it gives the freedom to students to call and arrange talk with intellectual personality from any field. For instance, Kavitaba Gohil invited well known author Bhupendrasinh Raol who talked about his book “Rasaynik Geeta” and also Mahirpari Goswami invited Rajnish Tomar who enhanced our knowledge of GPSC and UPSC. We express our gratefulness towards our beloved Head of the Department Dr. Dilip Barad who taught us important lessons of the life and role of literature to shape us from sheeple to independent-thinking-human-beings. We already know how to use technology but after two years of the Department we have learnt how to integrate it for academic purpose. “True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.” We are also thankful to Dr.Heenaba Zala and Vaidehi Hariyani for their great support in learning. They helped in every situation as like friend. They tried very hard to improve our language through remedial classes.

    22 Annual Report ofCommittees :2018-19 1. Documentation Committee Hema Goswami & Abul Abedi “In order to carry a positive action We must develop here a vision” Documentation is an important aspect of accountability which not only provides record of the work being done but also recognizes efforts and reinforces the system. In any field there should be documentation which keeps the event alive for longer period of time. In the era of digitalization people don’t believe without any kind of proof that’s why we need to documents things. In academic field it is necessary to record all the things which will show you the chart of the progress of particular field. For example, In India from very ancient time there is one beautiful place “Valley of flower” which is not known to everyone until it was search and documented by British mountaineers Frank S. Smythe, Eric Shipton and RL. Holdsworth. Then people started to research the “Valley of Flower”. So in this way documentation help us to know about particular thing with proof. English Department used to celebrate numerous events, activities throughout the year. So, function of documentation committee is to record all the events and activities in the form of Blog and Facebook post with appropriate images. It also motivates student to participate in academic and non-academic activities because social platform is used by everybody. In this way the world will know about our departmental activities and the progress of students. We are using Facebook for documenting academic and non-academic events. This is very useful digital platform because we can download images at anytime and
  • 23.
    23 also get thedate on which the event occurs. The other way to document things is blogger. All students of our department have their personal blog account in which they are writing their experience, movie review, thinking activity etc. and share on Google plus, Facebook, Whatsapp. Introvert students also find platform to share their thoughts. There are various committees in our department like Daily Schedule, Library, Film screening, Sports and Recreation, Art and Creativity etc. The mother of all committees is “Documentation Committee” which documents all the creative activity of various committees. This Memorabilia plays a vital role in preserving all sweet memories. This year various events celebrated at Department of English. With the celebration of International Yoga day we started our new semester. Ph.D viva, student’s participation in National and International conferences, Aishvaryam youth festival is common every year. Other celebrations like kite festival, Navratri festival, Christmas, Gurupunam, Republic and Independence Day etc also celebrated in our Department. We would like to thanks Dr. Dilip Barad for giving us opportunity to work as a Documentation committee leader and to record each and every event. It will also help us to document events in future. We are fortunate that we get opportunity to edit this golden Memorabilia which serve as torchlight for all the upcoming batches. 2. Film Screening Committee Charmi Vyas & Nirali Dugrani Now days, films have become very powerful tool in education. Films connect ourselves to characters emotions and situation so we can easily understand text. It also helps to understand about culture of that time. In our department, we learn that how movies are connected with our life and culture. We learn to see symbols and understand that what director want to say by symbols, critically analyse Story, Character etc.., Normally people can’t able to do this. For all these things I am heartily thankful to

But there are still so many things which are hidden which our committee tried to explore. In the beginning of the term we had organized a Guru- Purnima competition. Idea of this competition is given by Mehul Dodiya. In this competition students had explored their creativity. There are many sub-competitions conducted on Guru Purnima Competition. There is no boundary and restriction for participation, Because Art has no barriers. In second term we had women’s day special theme celebration. There is Dress Code of Blue and Pink and also student’s given their art forms and we had Exhibition on Bulletin Boards. Guru Purnima celebration has different Phases of Competition, like- painting, photography, poem, short-stories, essay, cartooning and poster-,making. We had received reviews by Public Voting System For this competition. Winners awarded with gifts and certificates. Women's day special theme was presented in form of painting and poem. In this way theme wise celebration gives a cultural value and also new outcome of talent and art gives a opportunity to add a lifetime memory. “Aeshvaryam” Youth festival is task for us to Document all the things.

At last we would like to thank our HOD Dr.Dilip Barad for allowing us to celebrate events and his participation in events. 5.Sports & Recreation Committee Vipul Dabhi and Ravji Jalondhara “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire; it has the power to unite People in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination “– Nelson Mandela By the same token, this above sentence is quite right if you are a true sport person. As this above sentence has everything to tell. Undoubtedly, our Department has shown a great caliber towards these all activities. Sometime we might feel that PG centers are for academics contrivance (Actually it is) rather than other activities like Sports and Recreation. But we should consider these all activities important
  • 29.
    29 too because thisis the age where youth can prove themselves. Apart from these all things, one should not forget that what sports can do…! As we have seen the value of these activities in learning, it’s time to talk about establishment of Sports and Recreation Committee. Before we (Batch: 2017- ’19) set feet in the Department of English, MKBU. It was the Celebration Committee who was celebrating Sports Day. But by looking forward, (Students approach/ interests) Students got permission from Sir to establish a new separate committee for sports. (Here separate stands for a positive outcome) Here I would like to say thank to all the members who have contributed a lot in keeping this committee alive. Peculiarly, i) Ashish, Vipul, (Reached to semifinals), Ravji, Charmi, Hema {Badminton} ii) Ramiz{Chess} iii) Abul, (Selected for inter university games), Ravji, Vipul, Hema, Mayuri {Tennis } iv) Sagar, Vipul {Table Tennis} v) Abul, Kavitaba { Swimming} vi) Ramiz, Ravji, Vipul {Squash} vii) Ravji { Football } viii) Hetal Dabhi( Selected for inter university games) { SepakTakraw} ix) Kajal Bambha { Running}

    30 x) Kailas (Selectedas a Trainer) { Mountaineering} xi) Dhaval, Vipul { Himalayas Snow Trekking } Apart from these all games, we have celebrated National Sports Day, International Yoga Day and many students participated in Khelmahakumbh too. Prof. Dilip Barad won above 40 Lawn Tennis Singles and Doubles tournament and represented Bhavnagar district at Gujarat State level in Khel Mahakumbh. There are so many other players who have contributed a lot in building this committee. Like Kavitaba – Squash, Dharaba–Table Tennis, Reena, Urvashi, Dhaval – Tennis. However, these all things would have been not possible without one person. Yes, Dr Dilip Barad, who keeps providing a unique role model for all. Who leads from the front, who knows backing very well – most important thing in building a player so, now we are hopefully looking forward to the new/ energetic / kinetic generation to carry out their game spirit forward. It is possible that as a ‘captain ‘we might not fulfilled the expectations of a ‘coach.’ We accept that we are unfeathered, though it will help us in future life. 6. ICT Committee Ramiz Solanki & Zankhna Matholiya Literature and science have always been at conflict, but in the department of English things are different. In department both literature and science walks together keep hand in hand. The second decade of this century is of information and technology and communication, these are inseparable parts of studies. In department of English students get chance to use various communicative tools to stay connect and to study with the world. Our Professor and Mentor, Dr. Dilip Barad makes us habituated with ICT. He possesses profound knowledge of technology and with his irrevocable intention of
  • 31.
    31 making us preparefor future prospects through the use of it provides us guidance because of which we are able to learn literature with the help of technology. “Technology will not replace teachers but teachers who understand technology will replace those who do not.” - Dr. Ray Clifford In department different technological tools are used to make teaching process more enjoyable, more interesting and effective. We make use of various tools while studying literature. There are different committees in department for different purpose. ICT committee is one of them which take care of ICT tools like projectors, language lab, Music system, laptops and of internet connections. From the very first day in the department students are introduced with online entrance test to get admission in the department of English. Department is very progressive in matter of using and integrating technology in learning environment. One of the advantages of studying in this department is that you will learn many things regarding technology and web tools which are very helpful in teaching and learning process. It is because of our teacher Dr.Dilip Barad that we are able to use laptops and language lab. Computers and laptops are in ample numbers that all students can work. ⇨ Department is facilitated with language lab. It has laptop bank that students can use. In laptop bank we have 17 laptops and 7 mini laptops. ⇨ Students make use these tools for Gmail updates ⇨ Google group activities ⇨ Online group discussion ⇨ Unit end tests ⇨ To access information from web ⇨ To prepare their assignments and publish it on www.blogger.com ⇨ To make presentation and then to share it on www.slideshare.net
  • 32.
    32 ⇨ Each andevery students are given DVD of their presentation videos which are later uploaded on you tube channels created by student ⇨ When students are entered in the fourth semester, under the guidance of Dr.Dilip Barad students are taught to create their own Google sites ePortfolio. ePortfolios are the show case of students’ two years academic activities. ⇨ Under the Shakshat project of blended learning headed by Dr. Dilip barad. Faculties make use of movie screening for the better understanding of literary texts. The most difficult responsibility of ICT committee is to set up IP addresses whenever there is a new computer is connected to Cisco, but this also worked out very well throughout last year with the great help from ICT members. First of all I would like to thanks our HOD Dr. Dilip barad that he provides such techno-Friendly environment in place like Bhavnagar. I would also like to thank Namrataba Zala, our senior and previous ICT leader and last but not the least Member of ICT committee and all classmates and also juniors for their help throughout. Without all of them, this journey of learning would have been incomplete. 7. Gardening Committee Jagruti Vasani I grow plants for many reasons: to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty, or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grows. -David Hobson Gardening is the practice of growing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture. The
  • 33.
    33 goal is tocreate a garden in harmony with and adapted to a given area. We’ll start with the most obvious reason why cultivating plants is so important: We can’t eat, drink or breathe without them around. No plants, no life and that can’t be healthy. Daily gardening chores like watering, weeding, trellising and harvesting are great ways to augment an exercise regimen. We do all this things under the guidance of our Head of The Department Dr. Dilip Barad Sir. Your brain also benefits from time spent in the garden. Being outside in the fresh air and sunshine is an effective way to boost your mood and de-stress. It is our tradition of department to plant tree which can live longer; it’s done by new batch, which will come every year. It was really memorable day. There are various committees to do various activities throughout the year. There are in gardening committee we have 27 members of both semesters. We are celebrated gardening day two times in the whole year. In this year on 6th and 7th August, 2018 we celebrated first gardening day and we did memory tree plantation of new batch’s students and through these we also become participants of Clean India Mission and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. During those days we have done lots of work around the area of department. We painted trees by geru and lime which protect trees by trunks. Also designed the pot and cover the garden area by blocks design. Then as per our department’s tradition on Republic day after Flag Anthem we celebrated republic day as a gardening day. And after that work we take healthy snacks and cold drink which is provide by sir. There is greenery around our English Department and it’s providing us fresh air and energy. Before many years there was not a single tree but at running days, we can see it’s totally changed atmosphere of Garden. Thanks to Dilip Barad sir for this revolutionary change and give us opportunity to become a part of this grateful work. “GARDENING-THE FINE ART OF SOIL TO SOUL.”

    34 8. Bulletin BoardCommittee Niyati Pathak & Jagruti Vasani “If you not willing to learn no one can help you If you are determined to learn no one can stop you” Bulletin board is the mirror of any institution which shows x-ray image of student’s ability of creation and expression, which runs with contribution of student’s creativities. In our Department of English, students share their various work like Poems, Drawings, short stories, Articles etc. Also bulletin board contains memories in form of collage which reminds us memories of previous batches. So it is not just part of traditions but also it preserves all memories. Some students may have hidden talent but little bit, to speak and stand. But here are more things to share and enthusiasm Shawn by our students’ .they share with us many creative activities throughout the year. As per we had celebrated many special days like for example: women’s Day , Christmas Day , Republic day, Independence day ,Gurupurnima celebration , accordingly we organized things for bulleting . So that we can share things like what is happen in our department, co-curricular activities. It was a great experience for us in this year because from this year Dilip barad sir has gave opportunity that we had 2 leaders in each committee. So, at the result of that we have done our best. At the end of the journey we would like to thanks to our active members and specially Disha Gediya , Vipul dabhi, Zankhana Matholiya , Krishna Patel , Jeel vyas, Mehul Dodiya, for active participation and helping throughout the year without you this journey as leader is incomplete .at last but not least we also thankful to Pro. Dilip_Barad for time and again encouragement and brighten our skills.

    35 9. Library Committee ReenaKhasatiya & Jyotiba Gohil J. K Rowling says on library that, when in doubt go to the Library. But, now-a-days library does not mean only books lying there. “A modern library with e-books and with internet where you can find answers of your all questions” Department of English MKBU, though it is arts department, it is known as techno friendly department. It makes very effective use of technology. Not only laptop bank and free Wi-Fi, Department got its own library too. Our Department's library made for the ease of students so that time and again they don't have to go to the central library for books. We have more than 1000 books in our library related to our syllabus and English literature. Apart from that we have SCOPE books and CDs, self help kind books, NET-SET books, magazines and thesis. Our head of Department, Dr. Dilip Barad has also his own library in his office. That also student can use for their reading purpose. Along with that Dept. has its own Reading room for reader in that we have different magazines, research paper and thesis. As the tradition of Department every year each committee member got new leader for committee. Senior passes responsibilities on Junior's shoulder. In that what is the responsibility one should fulfilled as leader of library committee? As leader of library one should be careful for books, availability of books for all students, to inform students about reference books related to syllabus and remember the borrow and issues date and in the whole year several visit of various libraries. It is great experience of being a Committee leader along with Jyotiba Gohil. From the very first day of semester 3, I try to be faithful to my leadership or responsibility to Dept.’s library. We can’t deny students for books at any time.
  • 36.
    36 Despite this, thisyear we made few changes in libraries cupboards position and numbering of books for that I would be thankful for my juniors who took great pain of work. Traditionally we used to visit central library of our University but along with this year we also visit Barton library of Bhavnagar. At the end, to possess a key of library doesn’t mean one become an owner of knowledge for that everyone must read …read…and…read. Jyotiba Gohil's experience as a library leader As a leader for me it was good experience. For a leader it will never easy to lead the people. As a leader I can't do anything all alone. I would like to thanks my partner leader Reena and all our committee members and Friends for being our support to full fill our responsibility. Thank you to Prof. Dilip Barad sir for providing me an opportunity to be a Leader. 10. Daily Schedule Committee Kavitaba Gohil “You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.” ― John C. Maxwell Department is an institution and like all other institutions in the world, it also needs to assemble and meet every day to carry out all of its functions; therefore here, in the department, a day starts with a bunch of activities, known as a “Daily schedule”. To make the day auspicious we start our daily schedule with the chanting of University song and then prayer. Then the next column is “thought of the day”, which not only make students aware of the great thoughts and ideas of the world but also teaches how to use it in life. One must know what is happening around oneself. It is very important for oneself to take necessary measures at the right time so here students came up with the idea of Newspaper reading. The habit of reading newspaper not only enhance our knowledge but also improves accuracy and fluency, it proves questioning which helps in generating ideas and inspires to think. It is a kind of exercise, which gives an insight into the world around.

    37 Albert Einstein afamous thinker once said that a person who learns a word a day is smarter and wise than rest so therefore we have a column known as “Vocabulary drill”. It actually drills out the frozen minds of learners and helps them to learn new vocabulary with the examples from day to day life. The fifth column of DS is Poetry recitation in which student presents English poetry. Opinion building is the column through which all the leaders of various committees inform and notify students about upcoming events. It is also the column from where the songs of rules and regulations sung over time. Furthermore, Personal presentation is the column, which gives a platform to present personal views of the participant. Regional literature allows all the type of literature from all the languages. Here students cultivate a habit of reading books as well as watching movies and then they come up with reviews of it. The last columns are Humour of the day and the National song. After DS sir gives the review about the performance of the students, which encourages the confidence level of students. Benefits of participating in Ds Participating in Ds helps to improve Academic as well as Non-academic knowledge in students. It helps to overcome stage fear and boost up confidence level. It stretches on LSRW skills and encourages community involvements. Therefore, learning happens everywhere, not just in the classroom. Daily schedule committee not only limited to department activity but also organize some charity events like A Blood Donation camp. It also arranges rational talks with an author like Bhupendrasinh Raol. i) Major works by committee ii) Blood donation camp iii) Gurupurnima Special DS iv) Christmas Special DS v) Debate on LGBT Section 377 vi) Debate on the judgment of Adultery Act Section 497 vii) Debate on Pulwama viii) Women’s day special Ds ix) Talk with an Author Bhupendrasinh Raol The Daily schedule committee is very much thankful to all the members and to those students who helped a lot without being a part of the committee. Because to participate actively and to help in arranging the things is not everyone’s liking. Special thanks to Dr. Dilip Barad sir for encouraging and back support. Ds

    41 Abstracts of ResearchPapers 1. Children’s literature: Fantasy and Beyond- Prakruti Bhatt National paper reading competition on Children’s Literature: Rajkot Christianity and Harry Potter series Abstract: Whether it was Alice’s adventures in Wonderland or those Disney tales or for that matter the Cartoon Network shows, children’s literature was never ‘childish’ if ever looked closely. Interestingly enough, the texts usually considered as children’s literature by popular critics and readers are often full of political agendas, socio- religious conflicts as well as scientific discoveries. One of the most popular children’s literature texts, which fascinated a whole generation of kids, at home and abroad, is the Harry Potter series. Today, it would be hard to find a kid who, if not read, but hasn’t watched the cinematic version of this particular work by J.K Rowling. “How Harry Cast his Spell” explains why the books meet our longing to experience the truths of life, love, and death; help us better understand life and our role in the universe; and encourage us to discover and develop our own gifts and abilities (Granger). The fact that magic, can be a medium for someone to establish an identity and that it is an equally respectable field of study, is something quite unconvincing for a religion which has always condemned wizards and witches and has portrayed them as the personifications of ‘evil’. And therefore, “Baptizing Harry Potter” becomes an important text by offering a monk’s take on Harry Potter series (Bell). The aim of this paper is to look at how far is the Harry Potter series (particularly the cinematic adaptations) ‘a prolonged argument for tolerance and a prolonged plea for an end to ‘bigotry’ as Rowling claims it, in context of religion, and especially Christianity. “What’s A Christian to do with Harry Potter?” book by Connie Neal says- Although the books present a clear picture of the epic battle

    42 between good andevil, they appear to support the use of magic and have had a controversial impact on our culture. As a result, many of us are wondering, “How should I respond to this Harry Potter thing?” Key Words: Children’s literature, Harry Potter, J.K Rowling, Cinematic adaptations, Christianity, Magic and Bigotry 2. Archetypal Characters of Children’s Literature-Hema D. Goswami (MA SEM 3) Smt. S.B Gardi Department of English Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University hemagoswami474@gmail.com Mo. No. 9714613922 Abstract This paper mainly focused on Archetypal characters of Children’s Literature. Archetypes in literature are common characters, settings, and objects that are seen in many different stories (Carson).Literature can be interpreted in as many ways as possible, and there are different approaches for literature and one among them is the archetypal approach (Kazhungil). There are many popular characters whose archetype is same in all popular children’s literature. Some are Hero, Mentor, Herald, Ally, Villain etc. Children cannot get complex things; therefore authors used simple concepts, so that children can understand it easily (Nilsen). Mainly archetypes and symbols taught cultural or moral values to the children. In this way children can distinguish between good and evil. Story of “Pinocchio” creates fear in children’s mind for not speaking lie. Animals usually fascinate children. Wild animals like Lion symbolized the power culture of society, other like Fox stands for the cunningness

    43 or craftiness. SimilarlyCow, sheep are considered as docile animals. “Panchatantra” stories are the best representative text in this context for children literature. Northrop Frye in his essay “Archetypes of Literature” gave many symbols, myths which were used by authors in various contexts. Use of various colors in Children literature is also common, rarely we find black and white. Mostly everything is colorful in entire world of children literature. Beautiful princess, Fairies like Cinderella, Snow-white, Tinker bell etc symbolized spirituality and magical power. These all fairy tales of children literature gave illusion of dreamy world. As children possess soft hearts, they cannot bear anything cruel and harsh reality of society, so the literature works accordingly and build archetype of dream world in front of them. Key Words: Archetypal approach, popular characters, various symbols, Pinnochio, Animals, Panchatantra, colors, Northrop Frye, Fairy tales, Dream, magical power. 3. Journey of Women in Bollywood Cinema: Mother India (1957) to Queen (2014)-Nirali Dungrani (M.A Sem 03) SMT. S.B Gardi Department of English MKBU. dungraninirali@gmail.com Mo. No. 7874791897 India considers as a cultural country in the world, which has a great heritage. There are many rituals, traditions which have conserved the dignity of India as the country with great culture. As literature shows as the real situation of society, its good side as well as bad side, it is much important to look at the literature to know any culture in a proper way and movies are the best source for it. So, this paper mainly focuses on the situation of women in India through the medium of Bollywood movies. I took a reference of some Bollywood movies that concerns more with the

Social Media and Culture -Karan Pandya Department of English (M.K.U.B) Email ID:-pandyakaran32@gmail.com Abstract Social Media and Culture We are living in a country which has 1.03 billion people within it and the most amazing thing is that 50% of this population contains youth.

    45 SMT. S.B GardiDepartment of English MKBU. Ramiz.solanki39@gmail.com Mo. No. 8000717429 Abstract The philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ is untouched from the criticism and readily accepted by the whole world especially Indian people as it comes from the Maha Upanishad. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam means the whole world is one family but there are some problems such as Casteism, Religious Conflicts, Political Conflicts and many more which says that the philosophy is completely wrong. This paper mainly focuses on the deconstruction of the philosophy ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, the main purpose is to show that this philosophy can’t be applied in modern times especially in the country like India. I have been applied Social, Political and Psychological aspects as well as taken movies like ‘Nayak’, ‘Baghban’, and ‘Aarakshan’ as reference to make my arguments more stronger. After examine the idea of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ through different aspects, it becomes clear that it seems good as a philosophy that whole world is one family but it can’t be applied in real life and can be called just a Hoax. Key Words :’Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, Casteism, Deconstruction, Political Conflict, Hoax, Maha Upanishad, and Philosophy.

Then I had visit different field's students like BSC students, B.ed students, B.A. students,MSW Students, B.com students, BBA Students etc.they also gave me well response on this. Most of them were interested in this survey because they found some new things like education with technology in the survey. Behave politely and gave the response very honestly. Most of them have question that why I am doing this?and I answered them that this is my task and for that I am doing this. Some of them were also asking about privacy of their gmail because they have fear that suppose I will make misuse of their ID but I have given the surety to them that this is only for my task and I will never misuse it. I had met so many students from various field but some of them have not their personal android phone. Some students have android phone but they have not mail ID and have internet problem. Most of the students were interested so I enjoyed the work a lot. Student’s response:-
  • 47.
    47 The first chartis about reading, as student’s hobby. Here most of the students include reading as their hobby but this 8.1% student doesn't like reading. They mentioned it clearly which shows that they accept the fact that they haven't like reading. Here this acceptance is not an easy thing, us needs more courage to accept this type of reality. Other side, who say 'yes', may be they also don’t like reordering though they say 'yes' means they have not courage to accept reality. Most of the students goes with the option enjoyable, but in real sense it us enjoyable or not? Are they really enjoying reading or do it as sake of doing. The green mark of the answer which is not in chart shows that somewhere and somehow students like to read something.
  • 48.
    48 This chart mentionedthat most of the students are using both, online source and books. Only7.9%students who use online source for reading rather than books. In this chart, students use mist of the books for reading rather than e book or some important websource. There are some important news in newspaper and article in magazine also which helps students for education.
  • 49.
    49 Here students mentionedthat they are searching material online. Here some of them not searching material online means they are using more books rather than internet for educational purposes. Here 83.1% students found that the material they read on Google is really exam oriented. But 16.9%students doesn't think that this is not helpful for exam. But I want to say that there may be the mistake in their searching because Google have all the information.
  • 50.
    50 In this chartmost of the students goes with the point that online material is helpful but somewhere and somehow they need books also. If we came to the another question that where students actually like to spend their money , the answer goes with both, means they are spending their money for book and for entertainment.
  • 51.
    51 Here the studentswho use other materials for reading which is not in syllabus,hoes with 83.6%means moth of students like to read another things also. Other side 16 4% student goes with option 'No' means they are reading only that material which is in their syllabus. In this chart most of the students goes with short stories which shows the area od interest of students. Conclusion:- So most of the students still like to read book rather than e book or other web source by reference of chart no 3 and 4. They are searching material online but still there is the mentality of students that education could be doesn’t with pen and paper only. By the end of this conversation on the topic of reading habit of students we say that still in 21st century, the idea of digital school or college is far away from students mind. 2. Project on tablet using survey -Disha Gediya During my M.A. with English, in Department of English MKBU,I have done one survey on use of the tablet by students. I had chosen many students from various fields who had got the tablet by Government. My target was a hostel and particular students who get the tablet.
  • 52.
    52 My Experience:- The experienceof this survey is worse rather than good. When I had started to do this survey I had came to know about the mentality of students for using tablets in education. Most of them have no information that how to use Tablet for education purpose. All students used it only for entertainment and chatting. I had started by hostel students who got the tablet in 2019, and explain them that why I am doing this, what my task here is etc. Most of them have not Gmail account and also don't know how to create it. I had tried to convince people in my task that they may take the interest in my work but I was fail to do that and at first attempt I had got only 7 responses from students. This makes me very disappointed. Problem:- The problem I had faced during this work was that most of the students have not interested in this type of work. Some of the students said that they had send it to their home and not using it now. There were total 3 student who send it at their home and not using this. Many of them behave rudely also and when I visit them for this, they had shut the door without listening me that what I am telling, why I am doing this . Researcher's problem:- By this survey I came to know about researcher's problem that how they were suffered from ignorance by people. I think that's why India's most of the people are not interested in research work because of the disappointment and rejection for answer by people. Not used in Colleges:- By this survey I came to know about the thing that in most of the colleges, teachers or professors were not allowing them to use Tablet on classroom. They are using it only in break time or free time but not in class. Then what is the purpose of giving the tablet to students?
  • 53.
    53 Second try:- By thisdisappointment I had tried again for more responses but some of them were not present at that time or some of them again not responded. Third try:- Then I had chosen another idea and send the form to my cousin who is professor in Science College. He had sent the form to his students who got the Tablet by Government and by this I got responses from students. This all tries shows that my Plan B was not ready so I had faced this type of problems. At last when sir send the link in both the class of my department, student think that they have to reply of this survey form also and they have started to give reply. In the form there was lacking of the sentence that this is only for them who have got tablet by Government because my target was only for hostel survey and for particular chosen students. Student’s response:- Here the red area shows that they are the students who have not get tablet. As above I mentioned that they were replying by misunderstanding.
  • 54.
    54 Here 8.1% studentsthink that the idea of tablet distribution is not good. I think they are not ready to learn the subject with technology and still want to learn with pen and paper. Here most of the students choose that they are using tablet for educational purpose , but when I meet to some of them , they were clearly saying that they were not use it for educational purposes then why they select firs option? This leads me to think that are they answered truly or just for showing that they are using it for educational purposes.
  • 55.
    55 In this chart,i think this 69.4% students can learn the use of technology in class for educational purposes because their teacher allows them to use it in class. These 30.6% students will not get the information about how to use Tablet for educational purposes because their teacher don't allow it in class. Here these 2.7% students are still not ready for use of technology in educational purposes. Still they have desire to learn with pen and paper.
  • 56.
    56 In this chartmost of the students who are really like to learn the subject with technology , they choose 1st option that they are searching more reading resources rather than other materials or videos. Here this 73% students are ready for learn the subject with technology but this 24.3% are still in confusion that they can't say about learning with technology is helpful for students brightest future.3%are totally agree with the point that with technology students can't learn so they choose 2nd option.
  • 57.
    57 In this chartmost of the students search general knowledge in their tablet and rarely goes with horoscope. Here the students who choose option 1, they are ready to learn the subject by their own
  • 58.
    58 and no needof teacher. 47.2% students need technology and teacher in class for learning. 3. Field work: Assembly line and its effect -Hema Goswami, Vipul dabhi, Sagar Vaghela The term assembly line was included in mass production. It is also called Progressive assembly. It is a manufacturing process in which parts are added from workstation to workstation until the final assembly or final product produced. Things are produced automatically with the help of huge machines in a very drastic manner. Let us discuss one story with reference to Assembly line Quality by John Galsworthy Quality is a story about an honest shoe maker Mr. Gessler. He is dedicated to his work and spent all his time working whenever he received any order of making boots. When he was in work, he never worries about sleep and food. He has high moral value as an artist. He thinks that it was his duty to make best and to give satisfaction with his product to the consumer. He believes in Quality product. He never thinks of making more porfit with his work. To achieve more profit is not his goal. He is different from the other craftsman who never allows their customer to question them. Mr. Gessler easily accepts his fault and tried his best to fix it. If customer come with dissatisfaction then he politely take it and convince customer to make it best. When the bigger shop came in competition Mr. Gessler never gave up. He made boots to comfort the customer. As an artist he show respect to his art and never loses the quality of product just to compete with bigger Shops. Death of Craftsmanship Now a days with the formation of Assembly lines, death of Craftsman occur. The huge machines are destroying the soul of craft. In this way Craftman's pride is vanishing.
  • 59.
    59 Interview with shoemaker Generallywe have asked three questions whose answer is totally different as per our expectation. Questions are:- 1. After the influence of competitive shoe making industry, which type of change come in their business? 2. Are you believe in making Quality product or Profit making product? 3. Would you believe that Industry destroy Craftsmanship? The First shoe maker The first shoe maker is old person. He is running his business since 20 Years. He is very porud about his quality materials. He says that Industrial development never affect his shop. He is getting same profit as he used to get. He never faces any change. As we don’t know that he is lying or not just to hide his poverty. He didn’t want to show his bad condition to us. That’s why he only speaks goody-goody things. There we find self respect in him that he never like himself to be presented as Piet. He says one good thing that the customers who used to buy shoes from his shop earlier are still buying, because he makes his customer satisfied. He was even in support of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that in his rule there would be no worries and problem to them. We are not getting him clearly anyway. The second Tradesman
  • 60.
    60 He is quietyoung and running his shop since six months. He very politely gave all the answers of our questions. He also didn’t hesitate to give his name, whereas the first one say no clearly to give name. When we ask about his shop that whether he is getting more profit or less after the competitive industry then he replied that he is facing 10% loss. He didn’t get that much profit. We have asked him that whether he is doing anything or not to compete with Machine made Boots, he clearly says no. But one thing he says that he is putting his products on sale to attract more and more consumers. He also says that his focus was on Profit not on quality product. Difference Here we find difference in the thinking of Shoemaker and Tradesman and their way of dealing with customers. Here is the reverse situation or we can say that truth remains hidden. Conclusion So the conclusion is with the developing assembly lines still some craftsman spirit was not dead. Still there are peoples who value the handmade craft rather than machine made final product. If there is no change in the quality product of things then there must be no bad effect. Therefore in Modern times the situation that England is facing due to the development of Industries is still not compared fully with our country. But still handmade things are limited. It couldn't made mass production in short span of time. It need more time whereas Machines needs less hour and can made more products. Therefore it can deals with the increasing demand of the consumers day by day. Movie Review As a student of English Literature, watching movies are not the purpose of an entertainment, it is about to analyse it from various perspectives. The students of English Department MKBU 2017-2019 has reviewed some of the movies here. 1.Charlie Chaplin; -Charmi Vyas The Great dictator is a political satire comedy drama. This film written, directed and produced by Charlie
  • 61.
    61 Chaplin, this wasCharlie's first true sound film. This film was released on 1940 during world war second. In this movie we can see the situation during modern time. In this film Charlie Chaplin was in double role. He was soldier and also Dictator. This film first focus on the situation of war between two nations. Also this thing shows the strength of army and conditions of soldiers. During war Chaplin saved life of one army officer. During that time his plane was crash and he lost his memory of 20 years. He behaves like he was a barber. So this thing shows us that because of war how situation become difficult for the soldiers. War happens not because for nation but because the ego of power. Power plays vital role behind every war. This film was the best example of political satire. In this film shows how political leaders behave in front of the public. In this film Hynkel was political leader. In his speech he talked about motherland, liberty and Humanity. He was whipping during his speech. So it was all fake things. People were control under him. He told to clap so all should clap for him. When he said to be silent so all should silent. Hynkel was playing with balloon of Globe it symbolize that how this political leaders think about others. They don't care about others they only wanted to become powerful. Like a game for him to ruled over the world. He wanted to become Dictator of the world. My favorite speech of Charlie Chaplin in movie THE GREAT DICTATOR. As per my opinion it is very powerful speech ever given. I strongly recommend you listen to entire thing. Its really great massage to humanity. 2.Sense and Sensibility; -Krishna Patel Sense and Sensibility is a American film which is directed by Ang Lee and it is based on Jane Austen's 1811 novel. The film was released on December 13, 1995, in the United States. The story follows the Dashwood sisters, member of a wealthy English family. This film shows how women in upper class Georgian England, though privileged, had relatively few choices in life. It raises a conflict in love that is typical of the comedy of manners, and it resolves the anxieties of its heroines in a pleasing, if unremarkable, way. At the end, Edward proposes to and marries Elinor. Edward becomes a vicar under the patronage of Colnel Branden, whom
  • 62.
    62 Marianne marries. Willoughbyis seen watching their wedding from a distance, and then rides away. This movie creates a buzz of excitement around the Dashwood sister's romantic intrigue. In this movie we can apply the theory of Feminism. Topic is Feminism like: Marriage as a medium of economics safety Cultural materialism : social institutions Power Dynamics in Relationships Age factor Gender Roles. We can take Elinor and Edward's characters as feminist of a man. I really like the background in movie. It is very attractive. In this movie we can see the difference between upper class and middle class 3.Uri The Surgical Strike -Charmi Vyas On 10 Feb, students of English department went to watched movie Uri the surgical strikes written and directed by Aditya Dhar in his debut, and produced by Ronnie Screwvala under the banner of RSVP Movies. terrorists attacks in Uri, surprisingly they enters in military camp and shoots our army means, so India plans to gives answer with surgical strikes. In the film, Para SF military major vihaan Singh sherglil leads the operation of the Indian army - 2016 The Surgical strikes. He is trains all commandos. He is full of v confidence, positive, brave, rebellious and excellent in planning but without help of eshan (lvan Sylvester Rodriguez), who makes machine looks like grad (eagle type). By help of this machine Indian army able to see all activities of terrorist in Pakistan. Manish chodhary and rukshar's characters also played vital role, without their help mission can't be successful because at the last movement they gives information to Govind Bhardwaj (Paresh Rawal) that Pakistan army came to know about their plan so vihan suddenly changes the plan and finally they wins and mission Uri the surgical strikes became successful.
  • 63.
    63 In film wealso find feminism in characters of yami Gautam (officer) and Kirti kulhari (pilot). By these two characters we can say that women's are not only emotional full but they also be like soldiers. This movie gives an enthralling experience and leaves us with 'High Josh'!, Salute to our soldiers and their brave families. 4.Lagaan -Rajdeep Gohel lagaan is a epic movie by ashutosh gowariker and he direct history. 104 year ago, mohun bagan's real life lagaan moment changed Indian history, the peasant farmers against the oppressive British Empire. Who challenged villagers to a game of cricket to avoid the taxes. One game to change their destiny. Patriotism: In this film patriotism is there in "Bhuvan" character but captain Russell challenged to play cricket in order to 3 year not pay lagaan. But the other way we see that this challenge not only for lagan but at Bhuvan side he describe with the patriotism to play game and win against British raj. Love Triangle: In this movie we see the triangle love between Bhuvan, Gouri and Elizabeth. start movie with the Bhuvan and gouri love each other than Elizabeth come between them and start with the teach cricket and after 2-3 days Elizabeth like Bhuvan, She tells that love in English but Bhuvan can't understand that language at Bhuvan side he see as a helper to teach about cricket. Last scene describes Bhuvan become Krishna, Gouri become Rukmani and Elizabeth becomes Radha. Power of religion: is describe in the film continuous 3 years rain not Raining in the village because 3 years villagers not pray to god so villager believe in god and Rajaji talk with Russell to this topic and said that 'you can help us for prayer' so we pray to god than all problems solves.

    64 Rural India: In lagaanmovie Ashutosh Gowariker try to show the real village and there problems and talking style create old history and there old things are in this movie. and after win the match all are celebrate and start raining is enjoying all that moment and like recreate that original moment in this movie. 5. Matilda -Heerva Bhatt Matilda is a 1996 American children's fantacy comedy film, directed, produced and narrated by Danny DeVito, who also starred in the lead role. The film is based on Roland Dahl's 1988 novel of the same name. The film co- stars Mara Wilson, Rhea Permanent, Embeth Davidtz and Pam Ferris. The film is about a young genius named Matilda, who uses telekinesis to deal with her parents, who do not value education, and Agatha Trunchbull, the oppressive principal of Crunchem Hall Elementary School. The film was released in the United States on August 2, 1996. Matilda Wormwood is an exquisite and intelligent little girl. Unfortunately, Matilda is misunderstood by her family because she is very different from their ways of life. As time passes, Matilda finally starts school that has a kindly teacher, loyal friends and a sadistic principal. As she gets fed up with the constant cruelty, Matilda begins to realize that she has a gift of telekinetic powers. After some days of practice, Matilda suddenly turns the tables to stand up to her parents and outwit the principal. As in Matilda’s life books play a vital role, write about your all time stress buster book. Basically I am a book lover so I love reading .My all time Stress buster books are William Shakespeare’s "Othello” in this novel Shakespeare described human minds very well with the help of many characters like Othello,Desdimona, Eiago etc. Dr.I.K.Vijalivala's all books, these books give me motivation and strength to do new things and also Kajal Oza Vaidhya's books, her books gives me new ideas.
  • 65.
    65 6.Reluctant Fundamentalist -Rudrika Gohel Asa part of academics, we have seen this movie. 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' novel written by Mohsin Hamid and directed by Mira Nair. It is about attack of 9/11, how it changes opinion towards the man, who are relatedly innocent. It symbolizes the postcolonial aspects; Americans are doubted on ones dignity, morality. It also includes how market fundamentalism plays a vital role. It speaks fundamental truths. It begins with kidnapping of one American, and whole plot is based on the interview of one Pakistani citizen Changez Khan, the interview was taken by Bobby Lincoln. Changez Khan is main suspect of the entire fiction. It is a frame narration, 'story within story'. Changez goes to America for doing job after completing his study. Everything was very nice until the attack, he got promotion, everyone was his friend, he had one girlfriend also, it seems like everything was so good, but after attack of 9/11 everything was charged. People were doubted on him. Even his girlfriend's behavior was also changed. During the attack, Changez smiles at once on destruction of building, it symbolizes that unconsciously we are wanted that someone take a revenge of our harassment. But he readily accepts that thing. As postcolonial aspect, one event was very significant; at the airport he has been checked by the cops, it raises the question on his dignity. During all these things he remained silent, but after that he decided to return Pakistan, we can say how he frustrated. Istanbul, which is mixture of East and West, we can find their European settlement and Muslim culture at a same place. At the last Bobby was interviewed, and the agent of American agency, who accidentally killed one Pakistani friend of Changez. It shows how Americans killed minutely anyone for their purpose. So, movie represents that how Americans treated Muslims, American known for giving opportunity to others, also known as Salad Bowl, but here we need to think that, it actually right or not. In 'New York', which directed by Kabir Khan, it has
  • 66.
    66 same aspects oflike this movie. John Abraham played role of Muslim and suffering same kind of harassment. It has many points of postcolonial study. 7. The Great Dictator -Zankhana Matholiya The Great Dictator was Chaplin’s first sound movie. The movie was directed in between Second World War. Hitler was in rule during that time and was in highest position. The focus of the movie is on war, politics and power. Charlie Chaplin and Hitler Charlie Chaplin and Hitler had many similarities like, same birth date, physical appearance, popularity. But both were different in nature. Hitler knows as cruel dictator and Chaplin as a great Comedian. Chaplin played double role in this film. First role is about soldier and the second is a Dictator. We can also finds the social problems of Jewish people in this movie. About world war This was the story between two world wars, an interim in which insanity cut loose. There are politics dynamics also played vital role behind the situation. Identity of race makes difference between people. Leaders of nation fighting and use people for undesirable things like Wars. They seeds of hatres in mind and provokes for keeping hate to each other. The first half of the present century was completely overshadowed by two wars. And the post war an era of ' Depression and of want of an Employment.' which is the mark feature of time reflected in film. Politics in Movie This film was the best example of political satire. In this film shows how political leaders behave in front of the public. In this film Hynkel was political leader. In his speech he talked about motherland, liberty and Humanity. He was whipping
  • 67.
    67 during his speech.So It was all fake thing. People were control under him.He told to clap so all should clap for him. It shows that he has two different faces. Hynkel was playing with balloon of Globe. It symbolise that how this political leaders think about others. They don't care about others they only wanted to become powerful. So it was like a game for him to rule over the world. He wanted to become Dictator of the world. In conclusion we can said that the movie covers every sides of life like political, Social, economical condition, behaviour of political leaders, situation of war.So this way we can said that the movie was comic political satire 8.Stree - Dharaba Rayjada Recently I watched “Stree” movie which is directed by Amar Kaushik. This movie follows the genre of comedy and horror. Cast of the movie is Rajkumar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Khurrana, Aparshakti Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee. The story of the movie is build up around the people of Chanderi, where there is myth of witch who hunts the man of village during four days of pooja and left only cloths of man behind. Our hero and his friends are trying to get rid of the witch called “Stree”. My thoughts after watching trailer and after watching movie are different. I must say the movie wears kind of mask of comedy and horror which is not easy to remove and get other meanings. First thing I notice is our hero of the movie is tailor and son of prostitute. Normally we find that sewing is shown as business of only woman but here hero is tailor and he has skill of sewing. Than he is son of prostitute, which mostly did not get recognition but here he plays the main role so by doing this, film maker wants to break the stereotype. Other thing which need our attention is there is only relations of woman are shown, no woman has any name excepts “Shama”, which is also not present in the movie physically but we can hear this name when Rudra talks on cell phone and we may take it as symbol given to woman. Shama means the candle, which burns it self
  • 68.
    68 every single momentand woman’s life is also same. Most of the time she sacrifices and burns her self to lighten others. The witch is also called as “Stree” which generalized for every woman. There is a story behind a woman becomes witch. The village has done injustice with woman and killed her and her lover, reason is she is very beautiful every man of town wants her, when she found her true love then villagers kills both she want revenge and she becomes witch. As a woman she suffers and the shape of witch we may take as her anger and outrage of injustice which she suffers during her life. Witch we may take as symbol of subdued fury which female never let out and we never find that wrath like witch. Vickey and his friends are finding way to defeat witch at that time they said that she is educated but submissive, which we may take as satire on woman that after educating them selves also they readily become submissive and don’t show readiness to fight for their rights. The movie is microcosm of macrocosm. Which is happening symbolically to the women of Chanderi is happening all over the India. “Don’t go outside of home at night, don’t go alone, come home before dark, don’t open doors for unknown” these are the instructions given to woman every time but in this movie it is given to male, to make man realize how it is like to live every moment under fear. At the end there is song “Milegi Milegi” in at the beginning all women are dancing as puppet but at the end there is all men who are dressed as woman and dancing like puppet again to make them realize how it feels to be mere puppet of someone’s hand. Though that step has becomes signature step of song but beginning and ending has some meanings. By having male protagonist we may take it as that change will not come if only women are fighting men also needs to change, to bring change in society. Throughout the movie there is effective use of symbol and it also says that woman wants love and respect but I found end problematic. As it is said woman want love and respect but as a human not as deity. Giving place of deity is again problematic as divines are ideal and perfect while human is not perfect.At the end Shraddha takes the braid of witch and put it on her own hair, we may see it as the anger in every woman which wants to come out now. The movie also lightly criticizes the “Aadhar”. The movie is believed to base on a myth of “Nale ba” which can be translated as “come tomorrow”. When it is asked to director about the story he has very interesting and ambiguous answer. When asked if the story is true, Kaushik gave a rather ambiguous answer. “Everyone interprets a story differently. And I have also not made it in such a way to suggest that you have to believe it or not believe it. It really depends on the perspective of the viewer. The story is out there. It’s happening in our country. It’s up to you whether you want to believe it or not.” (taken from here) Now it is up to us that we interpret his words in which context. The movie is worth
  • 69.
    69 watching. After watchingit I come to know that it is not mere a horror or comic story it has something to say if one listens carefully. 9.Midnight's Children: -Abulhasan Abedi 'Midnight's children' is a novel written by British-Indian Novelist Salman Rushdie and filmed by Deepa Mehta. The film was very popular in foreign countries and well criticized in India also. The film didn't cover up all the things written deeply in the novel due to time period of the movie so it's looks like the collage of many things like history, culture, Colonialism. Freedom movement, etc. The story of the film begun with the year of 1917, the birth year of Indira Gandhi and end with the emergency or we can say that the last stage of Indira Gandhi's Life. So, some may have question that why the protagonist of the film narrated the the history before the thirty years when he was not in her mother's womb? Well, I don't know why Rushdie connected Indira Gandhi's era throughout the film; we must read the novel to understand the connection. The story about the Children who were born in the stroke of the midnight 15th august 1947 with the magical power, in which two major character like Saleem Sinai, the protagonist belong to reach family while the Shiva who was born in poor family later joined the Army and fought in the battle with Pakistan to free Bangladesh. The main idea of hybridity in culture and identity we can see in the movie, as per the quote 'Let reach to be poor and poor to be reach' Saleem, actually, the son of British man William Methwold and poor Marathian lady and the Shiva was the son of Ahemad Sinai and Amina, but, Mary, a nurse in the hospital changed these both baby boy with each other because her lover was a Marxist and pursued mary to protest against elite class. Furthemore, Saleem went to Pakistan and Shiva Joined Indian Army, so here we can see the partition of India and Pakistan. Later on, after the war, Saleem came to India, his mother land and marry with Parvati, beloved of Shiva and she gave birth to baby boy who was the son of shiva so, we again see the hybridity. And also we can see the culture of India like snake Charmer. SO, this way movie ended through various perspectives.Here, also the good use of background music which symbolizes many things, the nose of Ghani family also a symbol. The narrative techniques also used in very good way to understand the story. And also a camera focus was excellent, while the Tajmahal scene came that time camera focused more on the poor conditioned house rather than Tajmahal. So, here film tried to show the real India through camera technique.
  • 70.
    70 Postcolonial point ofview: • Hybridity: • Miscegenation: • Postcolonial Feminism: • Hybridity: Hybridity means something that is formed by combining two or more things. Here, in the movie we can see the hybridity in the identity, Saleem is the perfect example of hybrid man, who was the son of colonizer and poor Indian lady and also the other character, Shiva was another example of hybrid man who was the son of Muslim parents. If we see the hybridity in culture then we can give the example of west (Methwold) and east (Poor Indian lady) and also Sikh(Picturesingh) with Hindu(Parvati)culture mixed each other. • Miscegenation: As per the definition of Merriam Webster dictionary, Miscegenation means a mixture of races; especially: marriage, cohabitation, or sexual intercourse between a white person and a member of another race. In the movie we can find the sexual relation between White colonizer Methwold with black skin Indian Poor lady and another sexual relationship with white Saleem with black skinned Parvati. So, in this way postcolonialist studies the mixture of identity and culture. • Postcolonial Feminism: Postcolonial theorist also studies the culture and literature with the feminist perspective. In the beginning of the movie Doctor did not allow to examine Naseem's illness to see her body, there a curtain between doctor and Naseem and her father said that”You Europe returned chappies forget certain things. Doctor Sahib, my daughter is a decent girl, it goes without saying. She does not flaunt her body under the noses of strange men. You will never understand that you can not be permitted to see her, no, no, not in any circumstances; accordingly. I have required her to be positioned behind that sheet. She stands there, like a good girl(Rushdie 2011)." Another examples is when Mumtaz, Saleem's mother got married with Ahemad Sinai, that time Ahemad gave her new name Amina. So, we can see the power of patriarchy in the movie and also a exploitation of poor Indian lady by Britisher Methwold. • Magic Realism: Magic realism also a part of postcolonial studies. Magic Realism is a narrative style which is add beauty to the historical representation in the movie otherwise it is boring to watch. The Midnight's Children were not ordinary kids but they have power, like, Saleem has power of sense of smell to feeling the different things and people whereas Parvati also has power like Abrakadabra to hide people or things in the basket. So, in this way we can see the movie with the various approaches like magic realism, Miscegenation, Hybridity in identity and in culture and also see with the postcolonial perspective. 10. Review: Mourning Becomes Electra -Hema Goswami On 24 September, We have watched the film version of Mourning Becomes Electra which was directed by Dudley Nichols (1947) at our Department of English. We cannot find
  • 71.
    71 any major differencebetween the film version and the original play. Most of the things, dialogues are same as in the original text. Mourning becomes Electra is a play written by Eugene O' Neill. He has included many themes in this short play and also takes the base of Oedipus and Electra myths Themes of the play: Guilt, Oedipus Complex, Electra Complex War, Inner conflict, Death/ suicide, Influence of past/ treatment of mask. Let us discuss each and every theme in detail- i) Theme of Guilt We can see the Guilt conscious in the character of Lavinia, Christine and Orin. Lavinia is the only Manon who survives till the end. But she is the most unfortunate one who is living like a dead. She remains all alone in the end. Then she realized her mistake, what harms she did to her family. She cajole her brother to kill Adam Brant, and also coax him against her mother. She also tries to cajole her father against her mother. In this way at last nothing remains, only guilt was there in her mind. The guilt of Christine is reflected in the play when she commits suicide. She realised that she has done wrong or also feels herself all alone without her son Orin, who is now in the side of Lavinia and her Lover Adam Brant. Orin treats her mother badly after the cajoling of his sister Lavinia. Then afterwards when Christine commit suicide, he realised his guilt and in the end he also did the same, committed suicide. ii) Oedipus complex In the character of Orin, we find Oedipus complex. He is so much obsessed to his mother Christine. After returning from war, he spends all his time with his mother and didn't give time to his sister Lavinia. The way he is behaving with his mother, is not like son, but like her husband. He even didn't wants to marry with Hazel, because he just wants to be in company of his mother only. iii) Electra ComplexThe obsession of daughter with her father is seen as Electra complex. In this play the daughter Lavinia cares for her father very much and even she didn't want to leave him. She always portrays herself as an over protective daughter. When she comes to know about the extra marital affair of her mother then she became angry and started quarreling with her mother that how can she thinks of doing cheating with her loyal husband. Lavinia thinks of taking revenge against her mother only because of her father. Christine killed Ezra Mannon, just because she wants to live with her lover Adam Brant. These all things make us aware about the strong bonding between daughter and father, rather than mother and daughter. iv) Theme of War In this play both, father and the son came from war. But they are more insecure at their home rather than to remain, or fighting in war. Ezra Mannon after returning from war comes to know about the extra marital affair of his wife. And feels like cheated. Christine justifies her act of unfaithfulness towards her husband, and also murdered Ezra, to stay happily with her lover Adam Brant.

    72 On the Otherside, Orin also returns from war and finds his home insecure, when he comes to know about the murder of his father. He started hating his mother Christine. But at the end he realized that it was only because of Lavinia, this all things happen and also realized his guilt after the suicidal act of Christine. Then afterwards at the end he decides to commit suicide. In this way war was not shown here as disastrous, or something terrible, out of which no one can rescue, no one can come out, but it is the home which is reflected as more dreadful than war, where both the soldiers met to their final end of life. They won't be able to fight bravely, as like they did on the frontiers. The scattered relationship, unfaithfulness, among the family members is presented as more terrible than the war. Therefore here war comes as just a name, nothing is shown about it. No fights, no death, nothing. v) Inner conflict There is always inner conflict going on in the mind of the characters. All characters are facing some kind of conflict inside. Christine thinks a lot what to do or what not to do. Then finally she reveals her secret and murdered Ezra. She is also scared from her daughter, that whether she has told everything to Orin or not, about her act of murder. These all kinds of thoughts are coming in her mind. At last when Orin killed Adam. She thinks that now she became all alone and there is no one with whom she can stay, and this conflict leads to suicide, she attempt suicide and finds it as a solution to escape from the life. vi) Death/ suicide Two characters in the play commit suicide (Christine and Orin) and two gets murdered (Ezra Mannon and Adam Brant). In this way death theme remains in the play. At the end no one survive except Lavinia, among the Mannon family. vii) Influence of past/ treatment of mask In the play, there always remains the influence of past over present. After the death of Ezra Mannon and Christine Mannon their daughter and son became same as they are. They make the past live into the present. They are not only bringing similarity by their look, but by their nature also. Lavinia resemble totally with her mother and Orin with his father. Both are carrying same characteristics from their parents. In this way even after the death, their influence remains in the present in form of their daughter and son. The same look of son and daughter is also called the treatment of mask, as it looks like they have worn the mask of their parents.

    73 Book Review 1.Frankenstein -Krishna Dobariya MaryShelly I read illustrated classics series of Frankenstein. Originally written by Marry Shelley and here, I am sharing my views on book as book review. Mary Shelley was born on August, 30,1797. Her mother died immediately after giving birth to her. Mary married the poet P.B.Shelley in 1814. In 1816, the Shelleys visited Lord Byron on Lake Geneva. It was here that Mary got the idea for writing her novel, Frankenstein. This book made her famous. Mary, however, always remained in need of novels. She wrote novels, articles, poems, and short stories. In 1826, The Last man was published. Mary Shelley died in 1851.In this book there are 26 chapters. The language is used very simple in this book. This book creates more interest by giving pictures. The pictures are very attracted. There are 222 pages in this book. I read this book twice in a day. Frankenstein is an old classic about a scientist who creates a monster. Victor Frankenstein is a hard working young man. He discovers how to give life to an inanimate body and uses his knowledge to create a man monster. I liked the chapters in the story that were narrated by the monster. We can see that Victor Frankenstein was arrogant and self-righteous. This book is very heart touching, it is not horror story. The story was exceptionally well told and the writing definitely brings it to life. It's hard to believe that it came from the imagination of a 19 years old girl writing in 1818. ~ Krishna Patel (Sem 2) 2.The Kite Runner -Reena Khasatiya Khaled Hosseni Published 2003
  • 74.
    74 Khaled Hosseini isan Afghan born American novelist and physician and he is famous for his three novels - Thousands Splendid Suns - And the Moutains Elchoed - The Kite Runner Recently I completed the Kite Runner, before the reading of Kite Runner, I don't know the defination or meaning of pain.. Pain of redemption... Pain of love in friendship... Pain for survival and better life... Is wonderfully captured by Khaled Hosseini. Begining is quite different than end, and in other words colors of fertility dried up in end. Author narrates about his own country Afghanistan, the land of Pashtuns. Pashtuns are the group of people they knows themselves as 'Pure & True Afghans'. They believe that flat nose people means other group of people which is known as Hazara are pollutes Afghans. Though in heart of Afghanistan Hope, Struggle, Chaos and Pride for what they have. In the books there is many lines through that we can understand or see boundries of orthodoxy. Amir and Hassan both are the hero of our story. Amir is pashtun and Hassan is an only boy of Ali and they coming from Hazara group, they are working as servitor in Amir's house. There is many suspence opens in the end of book, in letter of Rahim Khan, who is the best friend Amir and Amir's father, but m not going to tell you summury, by doing that may I will spoile your eagerness of reading this book! Assef is the character who fit in binaries oppsite side of Amir. Assef have rigid mentality for his nation and he wants to apply Hitler's Ideas to Afghanistan. He hate Hazaras and friendship of Hassan and Amir is spit in his eyes like gravels. There is one dialouge in Assef's mouth that... " Afghanistan is the land of Pashtuns. It always has been, always will be. We are the true Afghans, the pure Afghans, not this Flat-Nose here. His people pollute our homeland, our watan. They dirty our blood." He made a sweeping, grandiose gesture with his hands. "Afghanistan for Pashtuns, I say. That's my vision." This is the picture of racism drawn in book. Amir lost his mother with his birth and believe that his farher is hate him for this reason and all he want is his father's love, for that he cheat with
  • 75.
    75 Hassan, Cheat withHassan's deep faith in their friendship, cheat with tree on that they wrote their name..."Amir and Hassan Sultan of Kabul". Their friendship born in fire of Assef's ruthlessness and cindery of that always burn as redemption in heart of Amir, and that's how whole story goes on. Archetype of literature beautifully changes with the scene of life a begining's Kabul with full of joy presents in fruit of cherry and juicy pomegranate, but the 'dead wall' means the bud of plants which never grows in Amir's garden, though his father every year sow a seed , this Seed is the symbol of Hope. As the curtain opens after fade out and scene change sameway frutifulness turned into ruined wall at the end. Boundries is another symbol , through that we can say that when someone have to go on permanant vacation means in search of home, peace... And they are leaving not only home but they are leaving their life's precious past, their whole age passed there. This everything one can not brings beyond boundry. Kite is in the centre of Novel 'For the kite they love & Kite made them apart Apart for always'. After leaving Afghanistan Amir face with real struggle for life in pakistan and then in America. He marry with the lady Soraya, death of his father is portyard as death of Afghanistan in America, which is lived in heart of him. Last visit by Amir in Homeland, shows the terrible scene and cruelty of Talibans. Peoples suffuring for life, craving for food. Scene in that one man selling his artificial leg for money, another scene is people were gather in ground and in centre there is couple and as part of punishment people throwing stone over them. Effect of Taliban's made Afghan devastates. ~ Reena Khasatiya (Sem 4) 3."Tatvamasi” -Dharaba Rayjada Author: Dhruv Bhatt “Tatvamasi” – you are everything. How difficult it is to tell someone this words and actually mean it. We mostly believe in “Aham Brahmasmi” – I am Bramh or I am everything. But the novel of Dhruv Bhatt have the title “Tatvamasi” and the novel can actually make us feel the same. Dhruv Bhatt is
  • 76.
    76 Gujarati novelist andpoet. He wrote “Tatvamasi” in 1998, which won the "Sahitya Akademi Award" and it is considered as one of his notable works. This is the first novel of Dhruv Bhatt, I’ve read. The narrator is reading the diary of one student who has come from foreign to the India, to the village near Narmada river to study the tribal people and also to develop and use their human power in different and productive way, but he ended living with those tribal people forever. Dhruv Bhatt has used very refined Gujarati language but he also shows the colloquial language of tribal people. He has great ability to portray nature very elegantly. He can capture very tiny details about everything and emotions in words, then even he also feels sometimes that language has its own limitations. It is written in the novel that for some emotions he can not find appropriate word and some emotions can not be captured by words. We can see how paradoxically he has captured everything in words. He has something to say about everything like for water, for earth, for human, for animals, for sun, for moon, for day, for night, for happiness, for sadness, for fear, for delight, for village, for city, for rain, for fire, for deity, for witch, for birds and for sky and the starts also. Every single character (here I use ‘character’ because non – living things also has tongue) in his novel has some role to play. He is very good observer of nature. The novel describes the hard life of tribal people but even after this hardship of life they are happy and satisfy in between nature. They don’t have any special facilities to live life then even our protagonist choose to live with them. In the very beginning we find that our protagonist has very rational thinking but as story moves we come to know that, that rational thinking is not natural but a mask which he wants to wear and with all his mind he wants to keep this mask but his heart not allowing him to do such things. We can find reason of this in novel it self that he brought up in a atmosphere where emotions are more important than anything else but as he moves to the foreign where he is not able to find such people he also tries to be like them but as soon as he get back to the surroundings of emotions he again get his original self and stick with it. On the other hand we have character of Lucy, she is foreigner and we can see in her that she has rationality in her blood. She has ability to make other people believe her and very gracefully she mixed with all new fellows and also can take out information which she want from people’s mouth. Wherever she goes she her self becomes one of like them, enjoy every culture and their life style but as soon as time comes she
  • 77.
    77 becomes the oneshe is. She don’t regret on leaving places she do every thing for increasing her knowledge only. Among all these things the nature and the tribal people are at the center. We can see how minutely Dhruv Bhatt has described the honesty and innocence of tribal people. Every word full with feelings, and some are also able to make your eyes wet. He also shows how their life style and culture is connected with their surroundings. They are living in forest that’s why they also consider Narmada river and teak tree as their god and deity. Here Dhruv Bhatt also describe that though they believe in religious identity but they consider their duty as their religion which they will fulfill by heart and at any coast. These people has some blind faith also and for that they can be ready to kill people also. Dhruv Bhatt very gracefully shows the pure heart of the forest fellows. With beautiful heart they have also get powerful brain. They make their weapons and home by them selves. They also have some skills related their surrounding nature and about stars. These all knowledge they get by observing the nature and from ages their forefathers have given all these knowledge. All together the pictorial quality of Dhruv Bhatt has played vital role to take this novel at height. I also have some questions, like how can a narrator knows the things from the lost pages of dairy?, why Supriya’s mother Vinita becomes “Kalewali Maa”?.....

He consider as a popular writer in India. He specially known for his Indian English novels about young urban middle class people in India. The reason behind his popularity is Simple English language because of it many

    78 people started readingEnglish. Second he writes about problems related Youth. The novel opened in very interesting way. The writer put one activity to gave 3 answer before reading the novel. 1) One thing I fear 2) One thing that makes me angry 3) One thing I do not like about myself. This activity helping us in identifying our strength and weakness. By doing this type of mental process it help us to overcome from our weakness. It is very innovative way to enter in the novel. It is very well connected with the novel. Chetan Bhagat makes very good use of prologue and epilogue in his novel. In prologue, writer himself came as character and talked with the lady who told the story on the condition that he has to write a book on it. The writer presented in prologue and told that how they got inspiration. After heard the story he collected deep information about call center employees. In epilogue described the alternative reading. The lady gave alternative reading of the novel by replacing God lines with Military uncle. The writer has lack of Historical sense , social and philosophical sense as well as Mythical sense. He was not able to justified his narrative. One night at the call center also consider as Popular Literature.Popular literature means those writings intended for the Masses and favour with large audiences. It is different from artistic literature. It only designed for the entertainment. Popular literature has , 1) Lack of deep philosophy 2) Lack of deep spirituality 3) Not deals with abstract problems 4) Lack of morality / humanity 5) Not challenges the belief of people 6) Unacceptable solutions 7) Lack of intellectualism So popular literature has this kind of structure of the works. In the one night at the call center shows the solutions of the problems through character of God. It has not intellectual solution of problems. The call from God is not deeply connected anywhere. The solution of problems not acceptable in social formation. It not challenges people to think upon their believes. The solution of problems goes like drama. It is not giving deep philosophy and intellectual solution. Virginia woolf 's novel has deep intellectual and philosophical ideals. It shows the intellectual
  • 79.
    79 growth of writerwhile here writer still not go deeply in the novel. The solution of problems are like makeover not real intellectual growth of people. Chetan Bhagat consider as the popular writer because he deals with problems of common people. He using very simple English language because of it many people can start reading English novels. It makes him popular writer. In the novel describes various use of technology. The novel is considered as Cyberpunk novel. Cyberpunk is the post modern scientific genre. It is connected with science and technology, hackers, cybernetics and information. In the novel characters deals with email, bug, radio, Ms word. In the novel corporate world controls the job of workers. Vroom and Shyam used bug in MS office as virus attack for terrified American people. It increased the calls in call center and save the jobs of workers. Vroom used mail to blackmail his boss Bakshi. So with the help of teachnology everything was solved. Technology becomes the resolving force in the novel. Thus the novel can be categorised as cyberpunk novel. In the novel also talked about the complexity in the relationship. Also it talked about the condition of woman in the society through the characters of Isha, Priyanka and Radhika. They were mistreated and cheated by men. This novel also focuses on the problems on the Youth.….. ~ Jyotiba M Gohil Click here to open review Sem 4 5.Revolution 2020 -Zankhana Matholiya The word revolution comes from the Latin word ‘ revolvere’. It means a change in the way a country is governed, usually by a different political system and often using violence and war. "This novel is X- Ray image of our Political and Education system." In this novel we find satire on politics and education system. We can say that novel has the plot of education system and politics. One of the most famous popular writer Chetan Bhagat writes so many novels, . " Revolution 2020" is written by Chetan Bhagat. The story
  • 80.
    80 revolves around thenarrator Gopal as he shares his experiences with the author.As usual, this time as well the names of the main characters have been taken from Hindu mythology. Revolution-2020 happens in three stages in Chetan Bhagat’s novel and is listed as love, ambition and corruption in the novel of Revolution-2020. All these three stages are played by Gopal, Aarti and Raghav –characters in the novel.Gopal, Raghav and Aarti have their own ambition in life. Gopal wants to be a rich man, Raghav wants to change the world and Aarti wants to become an air hostess. The story is about Gopal’s consistent failures to crack an entrance exam which would help him a clean entry in an IIT. He loves a girl Aarti, who considers him just as a best friend and is in love with Gopal’s childhood friendRaghav. Gopal tries to propose Aarti on many occasions but every time Aarti forbids him to do so. "Imagine every Sadhu and priest in Varanasi more than all their devotion put together, that’s how much I loved her." These lines of Gopal reminds the lines of Hamlet, where Hamlet explains his love for Ophelia beyond any match. “I loved Ophelia, forty thousand brothers could not with all their quantity of love, make up my sum.” Gopal, the son of a retired school teacher, ridden with debt and litigation was bound to fall head first and hard in love with the daughter of the District Magistrate from the importunate day he decided to steal a slab of the chocolate cake; she had brought in her tiffin box for lunch. The unmatched friendship, between rich and poor like Bollywood movies. Character wise Aarti is not unlike the female characters of the real society, who very easily compromise with the situation . Aarti, the insecure one, gropes for the possibilities. Her character and her dealing with Raghav and Gopal remind the Eighteenth century woman's. After the failure in getting through JEE and AIEEE exams, Gopal is forced by his father to repeat the exam next year. For that reason, Gopal was forced to stay at Kota,the Gateway of JEE and AIEEE.

In this book we fiend that all pregnant Meluhan women must travel to a camp when they are ready to deliver babies. Children are brought up in the Maika without knowing who their parents are. At the age of 15, a comprehensive exam is held, on the basis of which castes are allocated. After such allocation, there is one more year of training, this time, caste specific. Children are then adopted by parents. Meluha is my favourite book because in this story I find many great things like • Cast of people is decided by there karma not by birth • Advancement in medicine, archetype, way of life • rule of vikarma is bad but after some time its break by shiva • I like idea that all gods were once human beings. I like to read this story because this story base on idea that all human beings are capable to made themselves famous as gods

    83 16th Annual TransmediaGujarati Screen and Stage Awards 2016 Best Drama, Mumbai Best Director (Stage): Rajesh Joshi Best Supporting Actor (Stage): Pulkit Solanki Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Awards 2017 Best Play SHRIMAD RAJCHANDRAJI Shrimad Rajchandraji is the epitome of an intense and incessant pursuit of spirituality. Shrimadji was born on the auspicious day of Kartik Purnima on 9th November, 1867 in Vavania, Gujarat. A perfect blend of pure knowledge, selfless devotion, and complete detachment, Shrimadji attained self-realisation at the age of 23. He spent months in seclusion, absorbed in the ecstasy of the Self. His compassion for the world flowed in the form of Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra, a masterpiece in philosophical literature. On Chaitra Vad Pancham, 9th April 1901, at the age of 33, Shrimadji left His mortal body in Rajkot. His preachings have been published in an invaluable volume 'Shrimad Rajchandra', which continues to quench the thirst of true seekers. Through ashrams, temples, and institutions dedicated to Shrimadji around the world, lakhs of devotees are benefiting from His teachings and progressing on the spiritual path. Relations between Gandhiji and Raychandji According to play{ how Gandhi met Shrimad for the first time after returning from England in 1891. Even after Gandhi moved to South Africa, the meetings still continued not personally but through letters. These letters played a pivotal role in shaping Gandhi’s character. Their honest friendship blossomed and Gandhi proclaimed Shrimad as his spiritual mentor. Shrimad was the one who inherited principles of truth, ahimsa and dharma which were later crystallized as the fundamental tenets of Gandhism. Shrimad left at an early age of 33 and the letters composed by him were then, the only companion of Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi remained indebted to the teachings of his mentor and now he is celebrated as the global messenger of non-violence. Brief summary of play in my words I was Shocked as well as in wonder after watching "AVDHAN" OF KAVIJI ; how is this possible a person could remember 50 words of different languages with in a one time reading ? my mind was totally blanked and i STRONGLY wishes to stand and give a big salute to KAVIJI; and then one by one we are getting knowledge about 'AVDHAN'; we also became familiar with SATYA/TRUTH -AHINSA/NON VIOLENCE - ETC. PLOT OF play was very
  • 84.
    84 well designed, theyused flashback technique and once again i was shocked when they use wheels in stage performance because i know that it was not easy to handle or control body while performing on wheels . They used full stage during play , they properly portrays images of death , love, care, sacrifices, hope;play also gave spiritual touch to it's audience and there are no words with me to express my feelings ; i think i have only one word UNBELIEVABLE . Over all play was highly technical from its lightning effect, background music to the role played by characters. 2. Digdarshak -Hema Goswami The play Digdarshak is very unique in its own theme. It is about the struggle of the hero, who started his journey from a drama artist. He promised to his drama teacher that he never went to the line of film industry, but still he breaks his promise and becomes hero of the industry. This is also the play of sacrifice that how one sacrifice his life, his family for his work. While watching the play we feel catharsis at the scene where the drammatist gives the money to his pupil whom he saves for his own son to educate him in foreign countries. The teacher remains totally detached from his family members to make his pupil a perfect drama artist but still that pupil left him alone. In one sense we feel that the teacher has to expand his thoughts and has to come out to the world of industry to show his talent for progress. But if we think as a pure dramatist we find that an artist who loves his stage and had given his entire hard work to it, never want to leave that platform. So this is all about the play that how the drama artist are struggled to make their own identity and how they raise their dislike for film industery.

It is really important for me. Can you please help me?” “I understand you sir but I am afraid I can’t do anything to help you sir. I am extremely sorry sir.” After saying that manager left me with my own thoughts. I was literally in depression. When yesterday I was leaving for airport from my home, I heard the voice of my mom from back she was saying, “Have you taken our lucky charm?” and I answered yes. And now I have lost it. It was not something which is my personal. It was of our family. The lucky charm which every one has passed through generations and now I have lost it. What I am going to tell my mom. I was in extreme guilt and confusion of what to do next and what will happen next. With all these things I have one another tension of our important business deal for which I am here in this position. I came to Agra to finalize the deal, but now I am in confusion whether the party will agree with us or not because I have lost our lucky charm. After all lucky charm was more important then the business meeting. If I had denied to come for this meeting nothing would

    96 happen. I wouldhave our lucky charm with me, but now I know there is not a single chance that I can bring it back. I came back to the side of swimming pool, sat there and was gazing the water. “Yes mom, It seems that Mr. Chandra will agree with us. Yes I have just completed meeting and now I am at swimming pool to get bit of relaxation. Yes the presentation goes very well mom. I will be back till tomorrow evening. In the morning I have to meet Mr. Chandra again for final discussions. See you then mom. Take care.” And I cut the call. I was walking besides the pool at that time, and that was the time when I dropped it in to the water and I also didn’t notice it. When I actually notice it, it was late. The water of the pool has changed and my lucky charm has gone in to the trash, and trash also gone with trash truck. I am completely blank. I was thinking of calling mom and tell her everything but I couldn’t get courage to do it. I was surfing on the internet random things like, how to gather courage to confess your crime? in hope of getting some solution and yes it works. I ran towards my room, quickly did everything needed. I can not sleep whole night. I have to reach meeting point at 8 o’clock. I met Mr. Chandra. He was happy with our policies and so the deal successfully gets finalized. I again reach to my hotel, was packing for leaving to the airport. Only one hour left and I still didn’t get our lucky charm. Suddenly someone knocked on the door. I ran to open it. I’ve got my product which was ordered online. I pay double than the price for having it urgently. I open it as fast as I can and when I saw it I was just on cloud nine. It looked like the same Silver Pen as one which I’ve lost. How foolish I was. Our lucky charm is belongs to very famous and old pen company. I can easily get the another one and no one can identify it. I emptied out the refill of pen and put it again in my pocket. When I reached home, mom asked me about meeting. I told her that it was successful, then she came to me, touched the pen which was in my pocket and said that, “We can not fail, because we have our lucky charm always with us.” I just nodded. I was more happy then my mom. One reason was of course the deal, but second reason was the realization of fickleness of Lucky Charms. ~ Dharaba Rayjada Semester 4

    102 3. Speech On theday of results annoucement, I participated in Ds's column 'Thought for the day' in that I mentioned Steve Jobs one quote that... "Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by Dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Apart from that I said few lines about Emotions because the result special DS was full of variety of emotions, and in context of that I took refrence of Robert Frost's line that.. “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” ― Robert Frost Emotions are fickle. Sometimes they’re clear and brilliant: we’re happy, sad, frustrated, or angry. But emotions can also be complicated, layered, and conflicting. Sure, we’re happy, but we’re also kind of annoyed about something. We’re sad, but we also have something to be glad about.

In these two days of Academic tour we enjoyed a lot. But with enjoyment we have learnt so many things also. Let me tell you from the first to last place of our visit. 1. Bahauddin College We departed from very early morning from Bhavnagar to reach at time to our first place Bahauddin College because it will be close at 12 p.m. First we have seen the old architecture of college. It was amazing. The structure reminds us of history. It was inaugurated by Lord Curzon. Earlier there are 52 gates but one gate is closed afterwards because as per
  • 106.
    106 the myth tohave 51 gates is luckiest than 52. People consider 51 as lucky number. 52nd gate in middle The building structure was based on Muslim Sthapatya. We have seen the huge seminar hall with mind-blowing art work on wooden. The ceiling was made up of wooden. Normally terrace gate will not open for students. But we have seen terrace also. The beauty of art was mesmerizing. wooden ceiling Then afterwards we have an interaction session with B.A English students. We tell them about our departmental activities especially about our blogs. They asked about net/set also. We have seen curiosity in their eyes to know about net/set, many of them are preparing. It was strange because when I was in bachelor, I don't even hear about any exam like Net/set. Then they asked about our you tube channel. As we all have our channel in which we are uploading videos of our
  • 107.
    107 presentation. After theinteraction session we visited the library. There were oldest and rarest books. The names of writer and their work are too strange for us which we have not heard. There are so many Ideas that we need to take from their computer lab because the students are preparing for net-set, they have made charts on the history of English literature. Much creativity is used in making posters or adding bulletin points about the history. We had taken our breakfast there and then moves to our second place of visit that is Sakkarbaug Zoological Garden. Group picture on the terrace of Bahauddin college

    108 2. Sakkarbaug ZoologicalGarden After academical things we move towards the entertainment site that is one of most amazing zoo Sakkarbaug. There we have seen the rarest species of birds and animals like White tiger, Ostrich and so many. We have also seen skulls of the lost species and then afterwards taken lunch. 3. Uparkot Uparkot is the hubs of Tourism with oldest forts, Adhikati vav stepwell, Ranki devi mahal, Buddhist caves, Navghan kuvo, Lashkari vav and so many other places. We can remember the history of Junagadh through Uparkot. The beautiful architecture of very ancient times from the rule of King and Queens becomes the place of attraction for many foreigners. It is the place where Amitabh Bachhan' shoot about "Khusboo Gujarat ki" to promote Gujarat tourism being made. 4. Ashok Shilalekh Then we went to see Ashok Shilalekh where we paid rs 25. The 3rd century B.C saw extension of the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka's rule over Saurashtra as attested to by his famous 14th rock edicts at Girnar, Junagadh. Ashoka chose slopes of the Girnar hill and got his fourteen Rock Edicts engraved on the north east face of a Granite boulder at the foot of the hill. 5. Damodar Kund
  • 109.
    109 The last placeof visit for 5th date is the sacred Damodar Kund. According to Hindu mythology many prefers to bath here and immerse the ashes and bones into it. There is belief that departed soul get moksha in this kund. There is Damodar Hari Temple also. This is satirical that even if Hindu considered it most sacred Kund, they pollute it more than any other people. Like they used to worship Kund by lighting the lamp, Joss stick and by throwing flowers, food, coins into it. 6. Bharti Ashram We all stay at Bharti Ashram, where there is free distribution of food. There is ongoing Annakshetra for the travellers or for the students who are living in hostel. 7. Dattatrey Temple On next morning we took risk of climbing Datta, but we are able to climb 900 steps only. There are total 9999 steps, it was a daunting task. Two of my friends climb 5000 steps and reached Ambaji, but then they also returned because of shortage of time, as we need to depart from Bharti Ashram at 8 am. 8. Bhavnath Temple Then we have seen Bhavnath Temple which is nearby the Ashram. As per the myth the Shivling is said to have emerged of its own divine intention. Mrigi Kund is the place where Naga Bavas used to bathe before Shivratri parva. It is belief that one from the Naga Bavas is Lord Shiva himself who took bath and never comes out of the kund. This happens every year. 9. Rupayatan Ashram The most beautiful place for study is Rupayatan school of Junagadh. We had an interesting session here. Many students from our department interacted with small children and make them sing a song. Our professor also shared one of the best moral story of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam to make students aware about the positvity in life. We have seen that the children are very curious to learn English language and many of them spoke about themselves in English. The education system is better than other schools because many children come out shame and gave answers of each question which were asked to them by Professor or by students. One thing which I have noticed that no one wants to become a teacher or professor all wish to become, IAS Officer, Doctor, Engineer etc. Cinema plays a vital role in building the mentality in children that IAS officer, Police, Engineer, Doctor are best jobs than other. Children are also influenced by the portrayal of action hero of Bollywood which are fictitious police characters. There is one interesting place "Divyasetu Darshan" from where we can see the mount Girnar and the shape of sleeping Rishi clearly.

    110 10. Mahabat Makbara AfterRupayatan AshramShala, we went to visit the most beautiful Mahabat Makbara. We can see the influence of Lucknow's Islamic Sthapatya sheili and Hyderabad sheili into it. This Makbara is the best example of Western Islamic architecture. This is built on the grave of Junagadh Nawab Mahobat Khanji Bija in 1892. 11. Willingdon Dam Willingdon dam is also one of the best places of natural beauty. This dam is built on the river kalwa. It was named after Lord Willingdon. It is a beautiful picnic spot. 12. Bhakta Kavi Narsinh Mehta University The last place of our visit is Bhakta Kavi Narsinh Mehta University where we had an interesting session with newly made Vice chancellor Chetan Trivedi sir. It becomes surprise for us because the day when we are planning to visit their university he was a professor only but before two days of our tour he became the Vice Chancellor. We all have taken Lunch there and then interact with students. Presentations by students There were presentations by Documentation and ICT committee leaders. I and Ramiz Solanki gave brief introduction about our works. We have seen lots of simmilarties between their and our department. Most of the activities are same. they are also doing daily schedule every day, they have same numbers of committees and so on. They are also using ICT in learning English literature. Mr. Clement(research scholar) also presented on Academic writing. After that there was wonderful performance of mimicry by Nirav Makwana, song by Dr Rupa Danger, youth winning Drama performance, Sanskrit song by on of the student. Many students from our department also presents themselves with creative poems,
  • 111.
    111 song. In this wayour two day tour ended with lots of memorable moments. It not only gave pleasure but also becomes one of the best interactive academic tours, in which we met students from different college, University and saw their way of learning. Interaction with Rupayatan school children is also worthy where we have find curiosity of learning in children who are the future of India. I would like to thanks our professor Dilip Barad for making out tour interesting and knowledge gaining. Glimpse of the year 2018-19 Girls in ICT April 26 , 2018

    112 Digital India Cell ICTWorkshop 28,29,30 JULY Demonstartion of various ICT tools to 75 post graduate students Academic workshop on writing essay type answers in Examination 10, April 2018 and 29 November 2018 The error analysis of answebooks helped us identify common errors made by students. Almost 50% to 60% of the students need both accuracy and precision in the use of English language for the specific purpose to write Answer Papers at Post Graduate level. Most of them make common grammar errors of subject - verb agreement, uniformity in the use of tense, apt use of punctuation marks and spellings. Some 20% who are are good in language and grammar have problem in vocabulary and using connectors like additive, causative and contrastive. They need guidance in connecting the flow of thoughts through sentence connectors so as to have an apt trajectory in the answer. The top 20% of students, who are good in language and grammar skill need to concentrate on quality and trajectory of the answer. 'Apt quotes from original texts' and 'Quotes of the critics' from their seminal works can be those beautiful ornaments which can add exquisite charm to the answers. Lastly, when all these things are taken care of, the trajectory of the answer should be precisely and accurately taking care of and faithful to the Question Asked and not to what students know. They
  • 113.
    113 have to surrenderto the questions and write (in proper language / grammar , with enriched / apt vocabulary) what is asked and not what they know. We also read some worst and a few best answer books. At the end of discussion, students were asked to give marks to their answebooks on shared worksheet. We hope this workshop will help all students to move a step ahead, from wherever they are, in improving their Answer Paper Writing Skill. Thanks to Poojaba Jadeja and Milan Parmar for their support and assistance. #Workshop #AnswerWriting #EssayTypeExam #Assessment is #OnGoing, #positive and helps improving the level of learners. #Evaluation is judgmental. However, in the workshop mode, if the students are given #rubric to #evaluate answers of their friends, it helps them in proper assessment of their own strengths and weaknesses. A very useful guidance was given by PhD scholars Vaidehi Hariyani and Ndoricimpa Clement on collocation, citations in assignments, correctness of English language, appropriate use of connectors and other common errors. All classes are of mix abilities and at different level of language competency. There are students who make grammar errors which is of high-school level i.e. tenses, subject-verb agreement, speech etc. At the same time, there are students who can teach these topics effectively, however, they fail to use #connectors and make common #collocation errors. #Spellings are still matter of grave concern. Don't jump to conclusion that spellings are damaged by technology-enabled corruption. The students make pre-digital era spelling errors in writing names of writers and characters, or spell as it is spoken (defin'a'tion). Their spellings are yet to be corrupted by the influence of digital writing. BAOU International Conference 14-15 October 2017 Digital Cell India September 2017
