From the Desk of the Head of the Department
This passing out batch, i.e., 2020-22 will go in the annals as ‘the Corona Batch’. Among
several disruptions #Covid19 pandemic brought in, the disruption to education system is of a
curious kind. On one hand it gave ample opportunities to explore new dimensions in online
pedagogy, while on the other hand it made us realize several vital pedagogical issues, which
were, hitherto, taken as granted.
The benefits of teaching this batch were innumerable. Right from the beginning, it was
challenging to build a rapport with students as students have never visited department or
teachers, personally. To bridge this gap, we tried our best to make teaching as interesting and
engaging as possible. And hence, we have to ‘revisit & relearn’ pedagogy of teaching in
online remote mode. We also have to try our hands at new technologies like OBS, Live
Streaming, Video Recording, Learning Glass, Video Conferencing etc. It was not only to use
these technologies but also to make it effective and engaging for learners. Going down the
memory lane of screenshots taken during first week of teaching this batch was a good
memory to see how it all began. The Google Class & the Group were introduced in live video
conferencing session – and OBS was used to make it engaging. The learning glass was also
used to see that the teaching does not become dull and boring. The first two pictures in the
below given collage-pyramid (on next page) are telling this story. However, the story of
disruption does not end here. The other side of the story, the students’ side, had also been of
great learning importance.
The students story told from the perspective of teacher has a few significant aspects. The
teacher expects curiosity in the eyes of the students. This curiosity is what is driving force for
the teacher. Well, in this remote emergency, if there is one very challenging thing, it was to
feel the curiosity in the eyes of the students. As most of the students keep their camera’s off, it
was not possible to see even normal gestures, forget the curiosity in the eyes. Somehow, it
was very difficult to make it understand students that keeping camera on while attending the
sessions is necessary. A few students were able to understand this. These students were like
oasis in the desert. These students who kept their cameras own while attending the online
sessions were such a great relief in the troubling and chaotic situation. Among the few
students who understood this, three students deserve special mention. Daya, Nidhi and Riddhi
– they were the most consistent in regularly attending the sessions with camera on. We, the
teachers, expect to have similar students, in troubling times, wherein one can experience if
the attempts made for engaging the learners are materializing or not. The bottom picture of
the screenshot-pyramid (on next page) is the evidence of this. Such a participation by
students in remote teaching is very crucial.

The number of students in this Corona Batch was also considerably low than normal class
strength. That was like a double whammy. One, virtual existence of all of us and on it, low
number. Some may say it is good. Easy to manage! Well, yes, that’s true but we wanted to do
lots of activities. Without good number of participations from equally good number of
students, it is difficult to carry on the show. We believe, education is not only completing
syllabus and the routine academic rigor. It is all about participating in co-curricular, extra-
curricular activities like reading papers in seminars, publishing research papers, participating
in cultural and sports events. It is not to say that there was complete stand-still to all these
activities. However, it reduced drastically in this passing out batch 2020-22. Even with all
these limitations of second wave of corona pandemic and lockdowns of academic institutes
and activities not happening as such, our students have participated in around 40 events. Have
a look at the chart in Memorabilia 2022 – page number 138/139. In spite of reasonably good
participation in the troubling time, we were not able to get laurels and accolades. Except for
FIRST positions by Riddhi Bhatt in Essay Writing and Khushbu Lakhupota in Research
Paper Writing competitions, the participation did not yield desired result. Apart from this

sorry state of affairs, even use of library substantially reduced during this year. Normally, all
students have their library card and keep on visiting library occasionally to exchange books.
This time, several students did not open an account with University Central Library. To add
to this sorry state of affairs, several students’ committees remained ineffective or inactive.
This is a great lesson to remembered. This is an example of why education is not only
completing syllabus. When the students are not able to have physical gatherings in an
academic institute, there are innumerable life-skills which are not acquired. Yes, some are
genius and they do not require such training or orientation. Nevertheless, we need to build an
environment wherein all these life-skills are acquired without much effort. We are unhappy to
see that many talented students are passing out without brushing up their talent, many
committee leaders are passing out without learning leadership skills, and many are passing
out without getting the finishing fine touch of our Department of English.
It is not to be concluded that all was dark and dull. We have seen amazing participation from
Kishan, Latta, and Sneha in various events. Apart from Daya, Nidhi & Riddhi, Latta &
Khushboo have displayed an amazing development in their performances from first to the last
semester. Chandani, Sneha, Jignesh, Bhavyang, Pina & Aditi were also very good and
performed as expected. Hiral and Nandita are talented but somehow, they were not able
explore their potential during the studies. Bhumika, Anjali & Stuti are also good in several
things but were not able to perform as per their capacities. You all have incredible spart
within yourself. Had there been no corona pandemic, we would surely have been able to fire
it and see the sparkles that you all are capable of.
With a sense of pastness, we are all supposed to look forward towards future. Bygone is
bygone. No one can amend the past. But future is still in our hand, in our control. From the
pandemic year we learn to be ready for whatsoever befall on us. Without giving an iota of
doubt or an inch of hesitation, we shall be ready to live life it all its fullest capacity.
On behalf of Department of English, MKBU, I wish you all a great future.
Let yourself metamorphose into something so beautiful that we feel proud to say that ‘s/he is
our student’.

A Message from the Editors:
Editors of Memorabilia: Daya Vaghani, Riddhi Bhatt & Nidhi Jethava
The Documentation Committee Leaders feels a great honour to work on Memorabilia. This
Memorabilia contains students’ constructive interpretations or discussions on literature,
contemporary issues or general areas of interest. It has been an objective, and to give a message
with a brief and clear language is like reporting. Though it is a tedious and a hugely mammoth
task to keep a record of all the events activities of the academic year 2020-21, we enjoyed a lot in
filling the blank word document with all thus decorations of words, borders, text and rectifying
the errors. It was not only the process of collecting and compiling the data but it requires proper

word to word organization and edition of the collected data. While analysing students’ entries, a
professional, and anelegant approach is be followed. All students have avoided of rough,
pedantic, and pejorative expressions.
This time making memorabilia is a bit tough for us. In the documentation committee, we are
three leaders Daya Vaghani, Nidhi Jethava, and Riddhi Bhatt. At the initial stage, we were
confused because we all are tagged as Corona Batch and we haven’t had many activities. So
documentation committee leaders were worried but when they received committee reports so it
was so positive and we came to know that we did many activities. Making memorabilia is a new
and tough thing for us. Still, leaders did their best. This memorabilia includes information like..
 Information about the department of English
 Faculty members.
 PH.D. viva
 Various committee reports.
 Creative corner of department students.
 Achievements of department students.
 The memory of the academic tour.
One of the most important things about this year's memorabilia is that we included information
about mix mode or hybrid classes, events, and celebrations. While preparing it we learned
lessons about the importance of documentation. It is not only about department but also about
life learning lesson too.
In all activities, events and reports, when question-response time was reached, it was a wonderful
experience to use the golden rule of objectivity which can also prove valid. It has not been
forgotten that authors of originalentries can be invited to respond to any criticisms.Apart from
the usual framework of Memorabilia, this year’s copy of the document also includes the
following matters:
1) Events organized in Hybrid Mode at Department of English.
2) The Information about Research Scholar who has done Ph.D in 2021-22
3) Workshop on Research Methodoly organized by Department of English for Dissertation
Writing.

The Committee Leaders presents their deep gratitude to Prof. Dilip Barad for his encouragement.
We are also thankful to all the committee leaders for their support and co-operation in the
process. It took planning and perseverance to prepare the memorabilia.

Not only is documentation an essential academic skill to be developed but it is also, as the above
quote suggests, an important lesson to be learnt about life.It Marks an important aspect of
learning. With this idea in mind, the Documentation Committee of Department of English,
functions rigorously to document not only the memories of the students but also their academic
achievements.

Today's digital age demands everything to be photographed. We all are keeping our regular diary
in the form of photographs. This photographing is not the final step but writing our expressions,
adding our own thought to any event of our life makes it more worthwhile.
Any work receives real success only when it is shared with the world. How will we come to
know after years what we were before five years? Well, remarkable evidence from the past can
serve as a piece of document to clarify our testimony! Similarly, at the Department of English,
we believe in overall development of students which can best be possible through interaction and
communication. Students utilize their interpersonal skills, teamwork skills, leadership skills, and
their talent to work collaboratively in making each and every day of department, the best
possible day to celebrate something productive.
Here, all the work is carried out into different groups. This classification is done not to make a
difference or divide students but to maintain the quality of the work. Even though each task is
done separately, the students have done each task together. The students are assigned 12
Committees and are given the role of leaders to plan, manage, maintain, organize, arrange-
rearrange, and fulfill the demands which the Committee is expected to. The main committee
which labours throughout the year by keeping a record of each and every event as well as in
drafting and shaping the memorabilia is the documentation Committee.
It is also the responsibility of the Documentation Committee to prepare memorabilia, which
includes each student’s academic and non-academic achievements.The method and medium of
documentation involve the use of social media platforms like Facebook.

some kind of creative impulse - but this raises more questions: for example, how much
thought is required? If someone flings paint at a canvas, hoping by this action to create a work o
result automatically constitutes art?
The dictionary definition of art says that it is “the conscious use of skill and

“the conscious use of skill and creative
Webster)

But the thing about art is that it’s so diverse that there are as many ways to understand it as there
are people. That’s why there are scholars who give their own special definition of the word, such
the one penned by this famous Russian novelist, which goes:
“Art is the activity by which a person, having experienced an emotion, intentionally
transmits it to others”
– Leo Tolstoy
During his life, Tolstoy was known to write based on his life experiences, such as his most
famous work, “War and Peace” that used much of his experience during the Crimean War.And
whether or not his definition of art is the best, the point is that people look at art based on how
they have experienced it.
 Any creative work of a human being
 A form of expressing oneself
 Resides in the quality of doing; the process is not magic
 An act of making something visually entertaining
 An activity that manifests the beauty
 The mastery, an ideal way of doing things
 Not a thing — it is a way (Elbert Hubbard)
 The most intense mode of individualism that the world has known
 Discovery and development of elementary principles of nature into beautiful forms
suitable for human use (Frank Lloyd Wright)
All art is but an imitation of nature.
-Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Why is Art Important?
Probably, the best theory that I like all which best explains – Why is art important – is from Van
Jones, subtly provides a great response to What is art? Van Jones presented a graph that
accurately represents the interaction between the four aspects of society and its different
members.

Art and its definition will always be controversial.There will always be debates about what art is
and what is not.But no matter what the definition may be, it has been around us for as long as
humans have existed (i.e. cave paintings, hieroglyphics).
Whether or not we are aware of it, we allow arts to affect our lives one way or another, and the
reasons why we make art are many! We use the arts for our entertainment, cultural appreciation,
aesthetics, personal improvement, and even social change. We use the arts in order to thrive in
this world.
In our Department we organized many activities for Art and
creativity. We organized this kind of activity with the aim
to increase the enthusiasm and to encourage them. so that
students get the chance to perform and become confident
and without fear they can perform. This way they get a
chance to show their talent.
Every situation gives us new opportunities to learn something
new and in that we are very lucky to be the students of the
Department of English, the place where each and every
student gets a chance to explore their thoughts and shine
themselves. Every year students get the chance to participate
in many events.In this year visited Shri Khodidas Parmar Art
Gallery, Spark event,Excel_expression event, Sociology
Department elocution competition,Elocution Compilation on Sardar Patel by Commerce
Department, Poetry Competition by Gujarati Department, Art exhibition and many other
activities.
In this year at the beginning of the year students visited Shri Khodidas Parmar Art Gallery on 26
Sept.2021. Shri Khodidas Parmar Art Gallery has held an exhibition on the paintings of Ajanta
Caves.Many artists displayed various paintings and art of the caves. Though the caves have
worn out, the artists have brought the beauty of these ancient caves through their artwork.
Swami Sahajanand school of management had organized #SPARK from 16th December to 19th
December 2021. Students of various Departments and Colleges have participated in numerous
activities.Students of our Department participate in rangoli, poetry, mehndi , face painting, book

Kala Mahakumbh:
Kala Mahakumbh is a state-wide, multi-event platform for all ages. The platform was
established to encourage art culture in Gujarat. Except for a few government schemes, currently
there is no major programme to promote the various art forms of Gujarat, its folk music, folk
dance, various painting forms like tribal painting, handicraft, theater art etc. The state
government has decided to promote 35 arts forms to discover talent through village, taluka,
district and state-level competitions,”The state government of Gujarat organizes a festival
featuring folk music, dance, arts and crafts and various competitions to promote local cultures.

Very few students know about these events of Kala Mahakumbh. But few actively participated
and also got ranks. Dhvani Rajyguru, a student of the English Department participated in the
Kala Mahakumbh.

“Education is the most powerful weapon,
which you can use to change the world.”
- Nelson Mandela
These words of Nelson Mandela set the idea that with an education you can alter society for the
better. Education is usually thought of as a tool to help you learn to get a great career, but it is
more than just that. Education is the solution to many of the world’s problems as well as internal
problems. Most of history’s philosophers would agree with Nelson Mandela. They would say
that you can change with education.
Education will lead you far in every aspect of life. It can open many doors for you and you can
change politics on a global scale or on a personal level help you get a career to support yourself
and get the money that you can use to better your life and better the lives of those around you.
But the purpose of education is not just for jobs and money. The purpose of education is to better
your situation and to better yourself. Education is to help you become a righteous and virtuous
being and to help liberate yourself from the injustices that you face.

Every year, students in our Department have the opportunity to develop their ability to think and
speak by participating in DS. Our Department's daily schedule is a tradition, and we consider
ourselves extremely fortunate to be given the opportunity to work as leaders. And, of course, we
cannot forget the Corona, which provided us with a new opportunity to test our technological
abilities and skills.
We were labeled as a "corona batch" from the start of the semester, and the majority of our Ds
were done online. It was physically impossible to do the thing. As a result, we had completed
many special DS virtually. In between, we had the opportunity to physically organize many DS,
during which we learned how to set up a laptop and other things with the assistance of the ICT
committee. During the year, we completed 40 DS, including 9 special DS in Hybrid mode.
Here is a table of Special DS that we completed this year.
No. Date Name of DS Special
1. 4th August 2021 Sem -2 Exam Experience
2. 8th August 2021 Teacher's Day Experience
3. 13th September 2021 Learning Experience about Farewell
4. 15th September 2021 Hindi Day Special
5. 16th September 2021 Sem -3 Results Experience
6. 21st September 2021 Welcome Function
Here are some photographs of Special DS that we took this year. We were unable to arrange
physically at the Department this time due to the Corona Pandemic. We had completed the
majority of the special DS in online mode.

 Sem -2 Exam Experience
On this day sem 2 students share their experiences related to exams that what kind of
questions were there, and how much too difficult to write the paper at that time, also sir
gave the idea of that how can we write a paper to get some good grades.
 Teacher's Day Experience
It was a very great experience because on this day students had made a personal
presentation and make a video of that and that what kind of difficulties were faced by the
students so it was a very good and tough experience that day.
 Learning Experience about Farewell
The junior students gave a farewell to their seniors. On this day the best and most
important thing was to learn how to give a farewell. Also, there were students in the
English department who were seniors and had shared their learning experiences of that
two years.
 Hindi Day Special
On this day students were coming with some information about the Hindi language and
also present their views see the Hindi language and what kind of idea to see that Hindi is
our main language to speak by the people the majority.
 Sem -3 Results Experience
The day was fantastic because all the students got first class in this sem. Also, Dilip sir
talked too much about how results are not very important as learning so on this day
students had to share their experiences about the exam and paper.
 Welcome Function
A daily schedule that is consistent and has step-by-step routines results in a predictable
day. Have a schedule that determines your priorities so that you can spend the appropriate
amount of time on that day. So, why do we have a Daily Schedule Committee and a daily
schedule every day? To answer the following question, I would say that in order to

improve our skills and gain knowledge of specific topics, we need a daily schedule. What
is the significance of various columns in the DS, as described in the following details:
Thought for the Day:
It gives new insight to begin the day with fresh, exciting ideas along with the
comprehensive lesson. Every individual has a new way to start their day in
that way new thoughts can be more effective to start a day with positively.
Vocabulary Drill
improves all areas of communication, listening, speaking, reading, and
writing. Helps to Expand a knowledge of words which provides unlimited
access: the new information.
News Reading
We have this important column in the Daily Schedule which provides a great
sense of educational value and knowledge of all the latest news and events
happening in the world. It carries information about politics, economy,
entertainment, sports, business, industry, trade, and commerce.
Poetry Recitation:
Poetry is a unique language that combines and uses words to convey meaning
and communicate ideas, feelings, sounds, gestures, signs, and symbols. It
helps us understand and appreciate the world around us. Poetry's strength lies
in it ability to shed a "sideways" light on the world.
Regional Literature
It will help us to value our language and understand our culture. By learning
& reading literary pieces from the regions, the power of the native tongue
intensifies the words and provides knowledge of the regions. Everyone always
comes with different and innovative literary pieces.
Personal Presentation
Personal presentation is just as important as a skill or qualification.
Overcoming the lack of self-esteem and confidence of the students helps to
convey their message effectively or fully utilize their skills and abilities
because of the way they present themselves.

Photograph of the day
We always preserve the important events, things, and people in our lives
Photography is a depiction of something with meaning. Photography is
important because it allows people to see the world from different
perspectives. Essentially, the purpose of photography is to communicate and
document moments in time, and also students can connect it with the various
events to share their experiences.
Singing
Singing is an important part of our life which makes us happy and fit!
improves your mood. It is very effective as a stress reliever if we are not good
at it. At least we like to listen to songs. Therefore students also can enhance
their singing skills.
Announcement
This column is for special announcements as well as to summarize a
discussion or point out something that the instructor wants to discuss with the
students to make them aware of certain events. Here are the charts of the
participation of students in DS during the year.

“We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because
it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of
our world.”

Our Professor Dr. Dilip Barad sir has profound knowledge in using ICT tools, particularly for
Language and Literature Learning. Throughout the year students use different ICT tools under
the guidance of Dr. Dilip Barad to make learning more engaging and effective. Along with the
Academic Syllabus, students showcase their talents in literary learning through different ICT
tools including Blogger, SlideShare, Google Sites, Scribd, Linked In, Google Classroom, Online
quiz, YouTube, E-portfolio, Webquest, etc.
The ICT Committee at our department is supposed to take care of all the technological
equipment which is used to make Computer-Assisted Literacy Learning possible. Things that
come under the supervision of the ICT Committee are taking care of laptops, keeping laptops
updated, and keeping the mic, podium, and projector ready for any guest lecture or Special class.
ICT Committee is also there to guide students in the usage of various ICT tools.
Digital Day / ICT workshop
In the 21st century, it is imperative that students acquire the necessary digital skills before going
out into society to perform. The stud ents of today are the leaders
of tomorrow. In this digital era, it is impossible to be a leader
without necessary digital competencies. On this Digital Day 2021,
the senior students oriented and trained junior students by serving
several digital tools which are useful for academic purposes. The
students were also informed to register themselves on DigiLocker,
Swayam MOOC platform, and National Digital Library. The
following students acted as resource persons in this hands-on workshop conducted in mixed-
mode: Kishan, Pina, Chandani, Bhavayang, Nidhi, Aditi, Sneha, Jignesh, Latta, Daya, Riddhi.

Virtual celebration of Teacher’s Day
Teachers are the foundation stones for
student's life. They hone the unexplored
skills of students and bring the best out of
them. While studying in the Department of
English at MK Bhavnagar University, we
learned the importance of integrating
technology into education. The future will
demand more dynamic, tech-savvy, and
versatile teachers. To meet the needs of the
future, this department caters to students
with a blend of technology-enabled study of
language and literature. So at our department
of English, we celebrated virtual teachers'
day. ITC tools helped to arrange things
perfectly. So in each part of our life ICT
tools helps alote and especially after
pandemic we all understand the importance
of ICT tools in academic life.
New Learning Mix Mode/Hybrid Events
As we all know that covid-19 is responsible for the disaster and because of covid our academic
life is more disturbed but it also provides us new opportunities to work with the digital world.
Our department of English also grab these opportunities and we learned to work online as well as
mix mode classes, events, and celebrations. Many events we did in mix mode so it was a great
experience for us. Here are some of the major glims connected with mix mode events.

Hindi Day Celebration Mix-Mode:
On September 14, India is celebrating Hindi Diwas, also known as
Hindi Day to mark the declaration of the Hindi language as an
official language in India. The then Union Government of India had
adopted Hindi as an official language of India on September 14,
1949. Hindi is the 3rd most spoken language in the world. We
celebrated this day on mixed-mode so some students were
physically presented and some of is were online. So with the help of ICT tools, this is only
possible.

Welcome Function Mix Mode Celebration
Every year Smt. S B Gardi Department of English
formally welcomes the newly enrolled students by
organizing a Welcome Function physically at
Department. This year Semester 3 students of the
Department of English - Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji
Bhavnagar University with the guidance of Prof. Dr. Dilip
Barad Sir managed to arrange the function in a mixed-
mode. The event successfully ended with the cooperation of all the Committee Leaders and with
valuable insights from Professors. Generally, our way of organizing the welcome function is like
the leaders of various Committees from Semester 3 demonstrating the objectives, functions, and
reports of various Committees operating in the department for maintaining the ambiance of
learning, properly managing the ICT tools belonging to the Department, gather and review all the
information in order to preserve all the events as ‘Sweet Memories’.

Library Committee Report 2021-22
A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life-raft and
a festival. They are cathedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the
imagination. On a cold rainy island, they are the only sheltered public spaces where you
are not a consumer, but a citizen instead. —Caitlin Moran

The library is the place where you find yourself. The library helps you increase your knowledge.
Nidhi Jethava and Bhavyang Asari are the leaders of the library committee. In the year 2021-22
corona was problematic for all of us so we could not arrange many events but as leaders, we
made possible visits to the library and as a part of the syllabus students of semester four has to
write a dissertation. For that we all students were visited our central library and we all went to
book Pratha to purchase Gujarati books.
There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.”
– Walt Disney

Central Library visit of semester four students
We all sem 4 students visited our central library to review a
Ph.D. thesis. With our batch syllabus changed and we have
dissertation writing and for selecting topics and ideas about
the content and texture sir suggest us to look at the thesis. It
helps a lot and it's a very fruitful visit for us. We got the
idea as well as new things about our field. A process library
committee leader, Nidhi Jethava and Asari Bhavyang have
arranged this visit and all students are there. Daya Vaghani,
Sneha Agravat, Riddhi Bhatt, Kishan Jadav, Jignesh
Panchasara, Aditi Vala, Chandani Pandya, Baraiya Latta are there for visiting. Special thanks to
Dilip Barad sir who suggested this library visit.Here are a few glimpses of visiting and
overviewing the thesis.
Book Pratha Visit
Reading is a very good habit that one needs to develop in life. Good books can inform you,
enlighten you and lead you in the right direction. There is no better companion than a good book.
Reading is important because it is good for your overall well-being.
Vinod Joshi sir has given the grant to the department_of_English to purchase books for our
library. He is an Indian poet, writer, and literary critic
in the Gujarati language from Gujarat, India. semester
2 4 students visited Bookpratha, Bhavnagar to
purchase books from his grant. We had purchased
many books of Gujarati Literature.It will be useful for
the department students. Because reading helps you to
develop positive thinking. Reading is important
because it develops your mind and gives you
excessive knowledge and lessons of life. It helps you understand the world around you better. It
keeps your mind active and enhances your creative ability. Sidney Sheldon perfectly describes:
“Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and
inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life.” We are very
grateful to Vinod Joshi sir Dilip Barad sir and also showing our gratitude towards Vaidehi
Hariyani ma'am and Yesha Bhatt ma'am for joining us. Here are a few glimpses of the visit.

caters to the needs and demands of each and every individual. As it has been rightly
observed ‘Books are our best friends’, we believe that books not only have increased our
potential to understand human beings but also enhanced our way of understanding the world
around us. The library is the strong pillar on which education is shaped. Books help us to
teach ourselves about history, the arts, science, religion, nature, mathematics, and
technology –– anything and everything in our universe and beyond. Books also help us to
understand the effect that all those things have on us and our world. Books entertain and
offer a great escape. The Department of English has provided us with a variety of reading
resources for all the students. There are numerous course books, novels, and books on
literary theories as well as film Studies. And it also has video resources, yes, our department
also has a mini–Audio-Visual Library. Audiovisual materials provide a learning experience
that could not have been provided more easily with traditional materials. These can make a
real contribution that will be useful and effective in realizing learning goods. Audio-Visual
Materials create a better relationship between the students and teacher in the classroom.

“People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be
amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or
appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state-it is to receive pleasure afforded by an
amusing act or a spectacle.... Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the
transcendent meaning of one's actions.
- Abraham Joshua Heschel
In our department various celebrations take place every now and then. But the interesting thing is
that the celebrations are not always for fun and entertainment but to learn something from each
and every celebration. They are important events where we learn something from guest speakers
and experts. This is how we learn from the journey of our study life in the department, which is
not always boring but these celebrations make our life more memorable and meaningful, more
beautiful and fruitful.
All these events in academic life teach us to do team work effectively. We learn something new
every time when we do some activities or just by being a part of the celebration. These
celebrations help us to make our journey interesting. We learn to overcome the challenges that
come our way and thus making each and every event more and more worthwhile. Celebrations
are an important part of not only academic life but also of our normal life apart from education.
Celebrations are important in life in a sense that they help us to keep going with more zest and
enthusiasm. They are like power boosters that help us to accelerate the journey of normal life.
Life is full of happy and sad events. Even exams are part of celebrations, that's why it's called
"Enjoy Exams", truly exams are for a limited period in life but real exams begin just after our
completion of official education. So, these celebrations help us to lighten the tense atmosphere
and help us to cheer up our mood like little sunshine after rain.
Due to the Corona crisis we have not celebrated other days because we have online classes. So
we couldn't come to the department. We celebrated only some events virtually and some in
hybrid mode. One interesting thing is that we suffered a lot from corona but still we did all the
celebrations in virtual mode.
"Without true celebration discipline is obnoxious."
- Adi Da Samraj

outside and that's why we can't study also. Because of the second and third wave of corona we

that reason we can't write daily quotes and put some interesting or important things on the

The National Sports Day in India is celebrated on 29 August, every year on the birth
anniversary of hockey player Major Dhyan Chand. This day marks the birthday of Major
Dhyan Chand Singh, the hockey player who won gold medals in Olympics for India in the years
1928, 1932 and 1936. In our department we also celebrate national sports day, but this year we
won't be able to celebrate it because of COVID 19. Sports activities help control diabetes,
manage weight, enhance blood circulation, and manage levels of stress. Through sports, there is
a good balance of physical and mental growth, which helps tone muscles and makes bones
strong. Sports inculcates in students the importance of a healthy lifestyle. As Amina Mohammed
said,
"Sport has the power to align our passion, energy and enthusiasm around a collective
cause. And that is precisely when hope can be nurtured and trust can be regained. It is in
our collective interest to harness the tremendous power of sport to help build a better and
more sustainable future for all."
Yoga also helps us to improve strength, balance and flexibility. The International Day of Yoga
has been celebrated annually on 21 June since 2015, following its inception in the United

Nations General Assembly in 2014. Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice which
originated in India. We have celebrated International Yoga day on 21, June 2021 from home.
Because of COVID 19 students were at home. The theme of the day was "Yoga for Well-being",
which is connected with the situation of the pandemic where people need to sustain their health
and need to stay strong physically as well as mentally both.
The Department of English, MKBU has planned to celebrate 'Virtual International Yoga Day'
where students have joined over Google Meet application for meeting through the internet.
Instructions are followed by students to perform basic asanas demonstrations of different asanas
were also presented by Dilip Barad sir. Here are some of the glimpses of celebration of
International Yoga Day,

If we look at sports events in the Olympics last year Niraj Chopra is the talk of town. Javelin
thrower Neeraj Chopra made history on August 7, 2021, by winning India’s first-ever gold
medal in athletics at the Tokyo Olympics. With a best throw of 87.58 metres, the 23-year-old
took first place in the men’s javelin throw final. Apart from being a gold-capped Olympian,
Neeraj was also enlisted as a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) and presently designated as
Naib Subedar in the Indian Army. He belongs to a family largely involved in the agrarian sector
based out of the Khandra village near Panipat in Haryana. We had various plans that we wanted
to do during our master's as a leader of the sports committee. But as Taylor Swift said,
"Just because you made a good plan, doesn't mean that's what's gonna happen"
-Taylor Swift
We wanted to celebrate sports day, but because of the corona pandemic, most of the schools,
colleges, and departments were closed. We were attending lectures in online mode. That is why

we won't be able to do the activity of sports. There were classes in hybrid mode so all students
were not coming to the department, some were attending lectures from their homes. When they
all started coming, we were busy with our syllabus and other work of assignments, presentations,
digital portfolios, and dissertations. That is why we didn't get time to arrange the sports day at
the department. But many students and our professor took part in some of the sports events
individually. Here are the events and the names of the participants.

I should indeed suggest that writing a press note is more difficult because you have to write
about the event, and not just about the event, but you also have to collect the right data about the
event, such as the date and time of the event, how many people participated, the major highlight
of the event, and all of this in a very clear-cut language without any exaggeration or gaudiness.
Being a Co-Leader was a fantastic experience for me. My writing abilities have greatly
improved, and I have learned to write in the basic yet effective language. Gathering information
and organizing it. somewhere I regret that, because to the Corona Crisis, our department was
unable to plan as many events as it did the previous year, but we did manage to organize several
intriguing events on the Online Platform.

Film plays an integral part in our lives. It holds a mirror to society and is a powerful medium of
human creativity and expression. The pandemic has redefined the importance of entertainment
and cinema like never before. While the world was confined to their homes, it was art, cinema,
and films that kept people entertained and helped them get through this global crisis.
The journey of one year as a leader of “Movie Screening Committee” was indeed a great
one.Enjoying cinema is one thing and being able to understand the nuances of it is another. The
former can be done by anyone,but it takes a long time to understand the nuances of the cinema
and appreciate it in the true sense.Somewhere as a language and literature student when you
deeply analyze a movie and trying to do critical observation it helps you build a chance to learn a
lot about the art from experts and get new perspectives about making a film. It also provides
opportunities for mutual growth and career advancement.
The very importance of movie screening in academia should propagate the sheer idea of visu-
alisation techniques, and the importance of visual memories which indeed helps students for their
better understanding in any work of literature.During one year, We have seen a lot of movies
which are relevant to our study unfortunately because of corona pandemic we didn't went to the
theater to watch movies.
The difference between film and literature is that of visual images which stimulate our
perception directly. Film is a more direct sensory experience than reading. In verbal language,
there is a color of sounds, emotions, movements, languages etc. On the other hand, a film never
allows the audience the power of imagination.Film and literature are the artistic expressions of

the human mind. Man thinks of different ways of communicating human experiences to broaden
the enlightenment scenario.
At the very outset, nobody takes an interest and favor towards the connection of filming and
writing (literature). The relation (connection) of both film and literature is as old as humanity.
The 19th Century is the slow beginning to take an ideal shape of the
exchange between film and literature. Film is such a field which was more related to
photography and painting in the beginning. On the contrary,literature was almost restricted to
print, which has more or less a permanent shape. Litera
story, novel, drama and poetry. These all are the written documents, and it is clear that letters are
used in literature.

Thoughts
It was my first day at the Celestia Academy. It was midmorning the cold roar of the wind gave
chill down to the spine. All the roads were hidden, only a waste of snow with trees rising out of it

was shining in the rays of the half-hidden sun. There stood the student; everybody was looking at
him whispering something about him. I can hardly wait to unveil the mystery behind that cold
face with gloomy eyes. It was like he didn’t have any expression at all, that chilled look was
scary. Everybody said so and I believed that too, but maybe that wasn’t true. I think that this is
how he has always been. I guess we have only seen a part of him. that face will surely worry you
if look that face of his. We met at the Celestia Academy, known as the place for students like us
to study, famous for its student.
I still remember every bit of that moment when I first saw him at the Celestia cafeteria. I was
sitting alone. ‘Merry Go Round of Life’ was playing in the background, someone was talking
about Ruman is the great nation and will eventually win the War. He mumbled, “Ruman Came to
our aid when everybody stood against Celestia. In the times like these, it is natural that we will
return the favour, after all these two nations are the world's top military power.” This guy was
entering, his walk was very light I didn’t even feel his presence; he had an angry face it was
written all over his face that he hated that nationalist chatter. But he was experienced in hiding
his emotions. He covered that face in the blink of an eye. I offered him a seat next to me. I was
interested in looking into his nature. I asked, “What do you think about that”. He sighed, “It is a
total mistake, Celestia is using Ruman that is all, and these fools think that these two nations are
a friend. Nations cannot be friends they always seek benefits from one another. If you are not of
any use to them, they will walk all over you. Just look at the First High, Ruman is crushing them
every day and none of their friend nations is helping. This is the world of selfishness. There is no
hope left for this world. Everything will eventually come to an end”. I stayed silent like I had no
other choice but to believe that whatever he was saying is true and inevitable. After finishing his
tea, he left. Several days passed, and we did not get a chance to meet.
We met the second time when someone shouted, “It’s happening again, a Bloom is challenging a
Weed to duel”. Everybody rushed at the pit including me. I had no idea that he was one of the
Weeds. He was trying to avoid this duel. The crowd was cheering him because most of them
were Weeds. “Why one of the Bloom would ever want to fight a Weed. No one from the Weed
can win against the Blooms”, this was started echoing in the ground. He was avoiding the fight,
but his opponent started attacking. He calmly dodged every attack. Someone from the student
council had to stop this duel calling it unfair. If the fight would have continued any longer, I am
sure he would have proven everybody wrong that no Weed can win against Bloom. I grabbed his

hand and led him to the class, “why didn’t you attack?” I asked. “I don’t want any unnecessary
fight” he looked at me with distress on his face. “You should at least defend yourself… Why are
doing this”
“If you need my help I will gladly do so, but don’t go prying into my life”
He left after giving me another cold look. I had no other chance to talk to him. “I would be rude
to pry further into his life,” I thought.
That was the last time we would ever meet. Then this day came we met again after four years. I
was on the way home. I heard noises in the backstreet-The Dark Alley, there stood a man it
seems familiar physique. I was not in the wrong. It was Aoki, he slowly walked towards me and
walked away as he forgot me. But if I was a stranger, I am sure I would be dead by now.
“So, what are we going to do now?”
“We are his friends and spy nonetheless, let’s goes save him”
Now we are on the journey to find his whereabouts and we are still searching for him. It is only a
matter of time after all.

TINA: A BRAVE PILOT
Tina was a brave girl from childhood. She was the only girl from her village who received higher
education at that time. She was able to fulfill her dream of becoming a pilot. Although her
parents were quite supportive, the real challenges were created by the villagers to educate a girl
child.
The village in which Tina lived was not very developed or progressive and it lacked social
development. It was a poor village. In her village, girls were not getting more than primary
school education. Hardly any girl had passed the SSC exam. So, when Tina went to the city for
high school and college, she and her family had to listen to much criticism from the villagers.
They were against the education of girls, had a backward mentality and hindered the progress of
Tina.

In Spite of many struggles, Tina was successfully able to complete her education and got the
license to fly an airplane, it was her dream come true. Tina received appreciation from her
university teachers, her college and school teachers. Her success was the result of her
determination to overcome hurdles and to bravely follow her dreams. It was not an easy voyage
but a very challenging and adventurous one. Her parents were very much supportive to her in
journey throughout and were very much happy at her success. But they also needed a brave heart
to send their daughter to the city for the first time as no other girl from their village had ever
done before. They were also hesitating but Tina’s strong will and determination was so powerful
that they couldn’t resist.
Not only this much, but Tina became a role model for other girls in her village. This was a hard
blow to all those who criticized her higher education for being a girl. After Tina’s success, many
parents got the courage to give higher education to their daughters.
One day when Tina was flying a plane, suddenly the plane lost its connection with the airport
towers and satellites. There was a message that the plane had gone out of radar. There were 250
passengers in the airplane and the plane was flying to New York from Mumbai. It was a very
long distance flight.
It came to know that there was a serious defect in the engine, although it was checked thoroughly
before the plane took the flight. In this disastrous condition, Tina was the only pilot, other pilots
were to join after four hours. Tina here also showed her courage and somehow managed to land
the airplane in an open ground beside some village. And this is how she successfully managed to
save the lives of 250 passengers and her own life too.
Tina was given the International Award for bravery along with the National Award of being the
bravest woman pilot. Her name is recorded in the history of the world for her such a brave deed.
Tina was able to tackle the things alone when it was very difficult to handle the plane at that
time. It was nearly impossible to handle the plane engine, any pilot could have given up but Tina
was not a normal pilot. She was above the rest. She was the star, the top of all. And this was well
proved by her deeds not only in her own life of struggles for education but in her career when it
comes to her duties of being a successful pilot in crucial times, to save the lives of other people
as well.
Moral of the story: Today we need girls to be brave and courageous like Tina. To be able to
fulfill their own dreams no matter what and then in life also continue to show their greatness in

their careers when it comes to serve the society. A girl can save their family and country in many
unbelievable ways. A girl with strong will power and determination can do the impossible.

Life is a race,
so make your place,
Run as fast as you can,
Fun is all may come along,
Use your net and digital tools,
Or you may remain a fool,
Exercise is all you need,
In order to succeed.
Make your marks on this Earth,
The ones who got this human birth,
Before you may say goodbye,
Look in the mirror in your eye,
All that life brings,
Before the death bell rings,
Run for your dreams,
For you are the cream,
Be cool and calm come what may,
Peace and bliss is in your way.

Book Review
Gun Island by Amitav Ghosh
The novel contains a discussion of the serious issues of climate change and human trafficking. A
little thing can affect the surroundings that Ghosh is able to see and show us. At the first glance
we thought this novel would carry the story of "Gun" as the title written, but through the reading
of the book we come to know about the pilgrimage of Gun Merchant and Dinanath Datta. The
title of the novel suggests a place; a foundry of Venice. Where the merchant had gone from
there. His journey from his hometown Sundarban to Gun Island (Venice), Land of Palm Sugar
Candy (Egypt), Land of Kerchieves (Turkey) and then Island of Chains (Sicily).

The whole novel is divided into many chapters. It is very interesting to read the chapter because
it tells the story of Gun Merchant as well as Deen's journey, their migration because of global
warming and the effects that they have faced. Ghosh said in the novel that animals and various
species are suffering because of climate change. Because of it such events are happening like,
wildfire, flood, tornado, high wind etc, that novel discussed.
Ghosh uses the myth of Manasa Devi to convince the readers that the merchant suffered because
of climate change. This is not the problem of a particular culture, it is the problem of the world.
We can see the use of etymological words in the novel. For the meaning of the word we have to
go deep in the history of the word and the meaning of it in the other language. This makes the
novel difficult for readers to understand the meaning of those words.The book is worth reading
to understand the problems that world wide people are facing including India.
Movie Review
Dhvani Rajyaguru

Jai Bhim: Two words for better word
"Jai Bhim’ is perhaps one of the boldest films to have come out of Tamil cinema. It
Doesn’t dare turn its back on hitting where it hurts the most, and its politics is not
Weighed down by the presence of a star like Suriya"
-The Hindu
The year 2021 will be a momentous occasion in Indian cinema. We've already seen some
fantastic movies. Jai Bhim is a film about justice, or, more accurately, injustice. It teaches us
about the power of the law and how to use it to make the world a better place. It is not a battle
between low and upper castes. It's not even a struggle against the cops; it's a fight against the
entire system. Jai Bhim desires a better world in which humans have human rights. The film is
based on a genuine occurrence that occurred in India in 1995. Then, as a result of this
occurrence, Rajakanny's wife Senggeni filed a Habeas Corpus, which was historic in Chennai
High Court history.
This is a must and an excellent and powerful film, directed by T.J. Gnanavel and performed by
Suriya (Chandru), Liijo Mol Jose (Senggeni), and Manikandan (Rajakannu), to name a few
brilliant performers.
Let me tell you something before you see the movie, or even if you've already seen it: Jai Bhim
is a work of art in the history of Indian cinema. It's not your average movie, but it'll stick with
you for a long time. So, allow me to lead you through the film since there is a lot to learn.
The title ‘Jai Bhim’ What does it mean?
As many people are aware, Jai Bhim is a rallying cry made famous by Ambedkar, one of the
creators of the Indian Constitution and a Dalit activist. As a result, it is not surprising that the
film Jai Bhim concentrates on the difficulties and tribulations of an Adivasi Irular marriage. Jai
signifies "Long Live," while Bhim is a tribute to Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. As a result, it's "Long
live Ambedkar."In the 1940s, he prepared the Indian constitution and dedicated his life to
pushing for an independent India. And what connects Ambedkar and Chandru is a yearning for
an India free of caste injustice. Ambedkar originates from an "Untouchable" community, and not
because they were the finest VIPs in India.People still greet one other with folded hands and the
phrase "Jai Bhim," which means "long live the legacy and inspiration of Dr Bhimrao

Ambedkar." And now, because to the movie and this message, we may shout "Jai Bhim" all
across the world.
As Literature students we always think critically and we have one habit of deep analysis. Here
also I try to identify one metaphor in the movie.I don’t know are you aware or not but let’s see...
The metaphor of catching rats and the snake :
T.J. Gnanavel, the film's director, spends a few minutes at the opening of the film describing the
village's daily routine. First, Rajakannu and his team go about catching rats so that snakes can be
kept away from the crops. Also, refrain from "stealing" food from the designated regions. Then
we would be able to enjoy their simple and pleasant lives.But we noticed a strategy to capture the
rats:
● Rajakunnu blasts smoke at the rats, forcing them to step out and be trapped.
● His brother, from the other side of the pitch, assists him in sending smoke beneath the earth.
● Senggeni grabs them and saves one small mouse to complete the operation.
Three people must work together just to apprehend the terrifying rats that are hidden beneath the
earth. And we'll need three more individuals to apprehend and imprison the crooked cops who
were skimming money and mercilessly abusing the villagers: Chandru, Mythra, and, ultimately,
Senggeni to complete the operation. They wanted to blow new proofs to the court slowly and
carefully to keep this story alive till the contaminated ones had to emerge out and be
apprehended by their colleagues. The filmmaker reveals Chandru as the snake of the dirty cops
in a stunning image.
We stated Senggeni saved the life of a small mouse, and we may say the same about Chandru.
Not all cops are wicked. Cooperation between Chandru and the truthful side of the police, as
represented by Perumalsami, is critical to ensuring justice and democracy.
We essentially applied "Jai Bhim" to the truth of the this film: untouchable people gained justice,
brought about by the strength of the law and the commitment of the health portion of government
officials: judges and police. It's a fantastic and moving film.
Rajakannu and Sengenni. Ethics is for leaders but also for simple people :
When Rajakannu was suffering from the pains of the officers, his brother advised that he
fabricate a fib and accept the crime in order to be free after a time. This may be the simplest

answer, but it is not the best. And Rajakannu cautions his brother that while the wounds will
heal, the mark as a thief will last forever.
When the police offer Senggeni money in exchange for silence, we can tell her the same thing.
She rejects boldly, putting everything on the line for her spouse and justice. But she also wants to
be a true role model for her children. The distinction between heroes and nameless characters is
one of ethics.Chandru awakens spirits throughout the film, and we hope though after. Around the
same time, integrity is what keeps our hearts pumping, our minds thinking, and our eyes filled
with hope.
As previously stated, let me be honest and forthright: I am evaluating a masterpiece. Some
viewers may argue that two hours and forty-five minutes is too long for a film to focus on
delivering its message. We do, in fact, have long moments in which we may observe the simple
and joyful life in the hamlet. However, these are required in order to form a relationship and
learn about our personalities. I have a lot of songs throughout the film, but it's also true that
music is a big part of Indian movies. Every piece adds to our understanding of the story and our
characters. One of the songs, "It's a war for equal rights," for example, focuses on reawakening
our souls. "Reclaim the authority; justice is for all," he says,
It's a film that requires time to establish trust and immerse us in the tale. Perhaps the filmmaker
doesn't tell us enough about Ambedkar, the film's true inspiration. Anyway, we caught the idea
and attempted to convey it to you through our analysis.

Write your own thoughts
What is happiness?
Happiness is generally depends on our thinking.Happiness is something like our soulmate.
Happiness is like our lifeblood, it is our most valuable treasure. Happiness is within us.If we
take everything positively, we can feel and get happiness. How strong or weak we are probably
can be measured by the nature and vulnerability of our elements of happiness. Sometimes
happiness comes from our actions, our works, what we are doing. Happiness is dependent on
self-discipline, it's state of consciousness. Happiness not only comes come from materialistic
things.True happiness comes from the satisfaction.Those who are satisfied with little thing they
are happy but those are not satisfied with even everything they are not happy...It's totally

depends on mental satisfaction. We just need to know and believe that happiness comes from the
creation of positive changes.Happiness is a feeling. Happiness is depends on ourselves.Yes,
being happy is our inside job.It makes us more and more stronger!!
-Daya Vaghani
Once you are in a relationship and suddenly things get worse among you and you are not able to
sustain then what happened? you started fights, sadness, blaming, and guilt. It is one kind of
escape from our knowledge that we are not able to stay and maintain relationships. From
escaping that guilt you started to narrate the thing that fault was not yours because it is human
nature. Once you know that you are responsible for the disaster at that time that remorse is
unbearable. It is natural, but when we are talking about only one story that remorse makes you
hurt, you are not able to live.

આજના સમાજમાં ી િવશેની મા યતા

આજે એ જોઈ શકાય કે ી ઘરની જવાબદારી ની સાથે બી અનેક કામોનું સંતુલન ળવી શકે છે.
પણ મને એક ન એવો થાય છે કે જો ી કામનું સંતુલન અને જવાબદારી સાથે કમાવવા ની
જવાબદારી લઈ શકતી હોય તો ઘરના કામ કરવાની જવાબદારી મા ી પર જ કેમ આવે છે? અને આ
કારનો િવચાર આપણી society મા જોવા મળે છે. અમુક જ યાએ તો એવા િવચારો વત છે કે as a
women she must know all household, work she have to follow all rules & regulations .
તો આ િવચાર પરથી એક વાત તો clear થઇ કે આપણો સમાજ મોડન થયો છે there is no

શીષક: દેખાવ કે વભાવ?
ગુજરાતીમાં કેહવાય છે કે 'દુર થી ડુંગર રિળયામણા' એટલે દૂર રહીને કે વ તું કે યિ ત સુંદર અને સારી દેખાતી
હોય તે ન ક જઈએ તો ખરેખર માં એટલી સુંદર હોતી નથી! આજ નાં સમયમાં દેખાવની પાછળ દુિનયાએ દોટ મૂકી છે.
સારા દેખાવું એ આપણી ઓળખાણ નથી આપતું પણ આ દેખાવે લોકોના મનમાં એવી છાપ ઊભી કરી છે કે હર કોઈ કંઈ

આજનાં સમયમાં દેખાવના પણ બે કાર આપણે જોઈ શકીએ. પહેલું કે જે કુદરતી અને આપોઆપ સુંદર છે અને બીજું
જે સુંદર ન હોવા છતાં કુિ મ રીતે સુંદર દેખાય છે. આજની યુવા પેઢીમાં આ સુંદરતા અને દેખાવનો કંઇક અલગ જ નશો
છવાયેલો છે. મા સુંદરતા વન વવા માટે જ રી નથી હોતી! આમ તો સુંદરતાના બી બે કાર િવશે જોઈએ તો ૧.
આંત રક સુંદરતા અને ૨. બા સુંદરતા. પણ આજની યુવા પેઢી બા સુંદરતાને વધુ મહ વ આપે છે.
જો આપણે હંમેશા બા દેખાવ અને સુંદરતા પાછળ દો યા કરીશું તો આપણે યિ તની આંત રક સુંદરતાને યારેય નહ

How Literature Shaped Me?
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person studying English Literature as a formal
course isn't really studying. (Ketan Krishna, TOI) It is a commonly known fact that someone
who studies English Literature as a formal subject is not truly studying. When an Indian brilliant
girl, who good in all the subjects and also completed her 12th in commerce and than she decides
to upset his parents and waste the toil of a lifetime by enrolling in an English course at a thikthak
college in the rural area, she is willingly entering the deep abyss of aimlessness, unemployment,
and inebriation. There are no jobs, no prospects, and no good future. . It is against this setting
that an English Literature student embarks on a three-year odyssey. It is assumed that she will
"read novels and squander time." The first problem is adjusting from the school environment to
the college campus.
The teachers do not wish to be silent. The teachers are also uninterested in teaching. They are,
meanwhile, highly educated young people, so there's plenty to learn from them. Education as a
notion has changed. Rather than being absorbed, knowledge must be extracted. The learner who

wishes to learn must take the initiative. There is a course that must be taught in an insufficient
amount of time, which expands into reading well beyond authorized content.
Trustworthy, I would only talk about things that happened when I was studying literature.
However, the text is open to being questioned, analyzed, and destroyed. Because no story is ever
really genuine or honest. However, there is a chance of truth in any narrative, which must be
considered. Here are my learning lessons, as well as a large bag of newly chiseled concepts.
"Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy it but molds it to its purpose. The
nineteenth century, as we know it, is largely an invention of Balzac."
- Oscar Wilde
So, I am here to narrate my Five year Journey of reading Literature along with how Literature
helped in becoming my new better version of myself. Have you ever considered something that
has affected you? If not, then think about it first. Your reason will increase your interest in
reading. What impact does literature have on me? If I remark that books have been an important
part of my life since I was a teenager, it may be because I have been unintentionally tempering
my memory. So, before I begin wrecking have on the literature that has molded me. Let's take a
ride through some questions.
What really is life? What is our existence? Have you ever considered it? I started to think, and
the growth of my thoughts helped lead me to the insight that thoughts alone do not produce life!
Not only that, but the question of what is life, what is the purpose of existing, and all the
upheaval drew me to literature. What was the significance of books in my life? When I think
about it, I understand I should start with when books were becoming a part of my life. Literature
has been taught to me in some form or another since I was a child through my home and my
school. I remember when I was in std 2 or 3. I used to bring books of Gujarati comics with me,
such as Panchatantra, ishapatini vato and more others. When I say I love reading, I love books,
actually I'm curious which novel will be the first to be read!!!
You are known to me today because of my activities, my presentations, my assignments,
academic works, and postings, as a student. So, whatever I am now, I am completely the result of
literature. Examining the nature and roots of my thoughts, I saw that my style of thinking had
shifted; literature tried to highlight a new awakening. During my school days and also college
days, I was a highly interested yet shy girl, as far as I recall.

Whenever I recall my B.A. class, I believe that a terrifying circumstance and things have
developed, that moment is hurting my thoughts. My mind becomes swamped with Aziz from
Tughlaq by Girish Karnad that becomes apparent in front of the family and friends. Santiago
imparted in me the importance of never giving up on determination and hard work. Always
choose your role models carefully, like Santiago admires baseball star Joe DiMaggio and his
playing style. I also learned to be specific while creating and picking role models for myself.
Literature includes more than only aesthetic pleasure or entertainment. It not only entertains but
also teaches people life's truths. The question now is whether Literature is exclusively concerned
with Morality. And the obvious response is 'No, Nope.' Literature addresses both the Right and
Wrong aspects of society. On the one hand, it teaches lovely moral values or life lessons; on the
other hand, it depicts the darkest side of human culture, mentality, or attitude. Arvind Adiga's
novel 'The White Tiger' is not in my syllabus but read this novel and fortunately watch the
movie,' The White Tiger,' Though it has been heavily criticized for sending the incorrect lesson
of murdering a boss in order to realize personal fortune. Nonetheless, it has many deeper life
lessons.
Literature students are trained to think critically. According to Hegel and Marx, teleology and
grand design are diametrically opposed. According to structuralism and Foucault, ideologies are
biased, and the words one uses, as well as the structures one works under, should all be
questioned as systems of control and suppression. As a result, there is a lack of order. The
student is torn between romance and reality, between order and chaos.
There is undoubtedly no scarcity of answers in the twenty-first century, but The difficulty is
definitely a lack of queries. But every time I sense a deficiency, I run to the library, and if I am
not swamped, my perusing will be mortified! Since I learned a little piece of literature, my mind
has indeed been continuously straying to study what literature in many other languages is saying.
I completed my primary course in Gujarati, and as a result, my Gujarati grew more proficient
unknowingly. As I became more acquainted
with the literature of various languages, the Bengali, Marathi, and Urdu languages drew me in
the most.
Why is one to do it? What is the purpose? This dilemma comes as a result of the instruction one
acquires when studying literature. Beginning with Dickens, reality and fantasy are separated.
Then there are the Victorian Realists, who emphasize the reality of modern existence, and the
Russian Nihilists, who question the reality of life. Finally, Modernism and Existentialism call
language into question and cast doubt on meaning.

When one is at a loss for what to do, Beckett strikes the ultimate blow and announces, 'Nothing
to be done.'
Darindaa ?! oops... Derrida provided me with an acceptable knowledge of language issues in
later years, as well as theoretical backing in talks with friends about my unsupported arguments.
Understanding was created in a different method at the time. Feminism also reached
postfeminism, and both the necessity for it and the reasons for its failure were recognised.
However, the fact that there is no need to hang a basket of guilt on anyone's head has become so
ingrained in the mind that everything, the matter, and the person can now be seen automatically
through four or five lenses, and when viewed from different points of view, confusion with
reconciliation is lessened, though it is foolish to think so every time!
According to Eliot's The Waste Land, be a giver, exhibit compassion, and exercise self-control.
Datta, Dayadhvam, and Damyata are Sanskrit terms. It has come to my attention that people who
give to society suffer the most, while those who just take from others prosper. Nonetheless, the
five-part poem makes me ponder.
"Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in
the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the truth of the tale, of the
imagination and of the heart."
- Salman Rushdie
Of course, literature discusses all sorts of terrible things, but there is still a sense of fulfillment,
and that is what makes literature wonderful. Literature is just like water in a parched jungle,
irrigating your thoughts and awareness of life and people. Literature helps me to become more
self-disciplined and self-aware. I can affirm without a doubt that literature inspired me to read
more, to keep discussing it, to keep learning new ideas, and to get lost someplace in the world of
dialogues where becoming lost is more powerful than finding myself!
Thank You So Much...

Ndoricimpa Clement prepared the module and the slides were discussed with examples. The
students were asked to share their area of research, topic, questions, etc.At the end of a very long
day - two full-length sessions of almost 150 minutes each, it seems that the students will still take
time to understand research and dissertation writing.It is getting tough to understand whether
'teaching' research is tough or is 'learning' about research writing tough!
Workshop of Qualitative Research in Digital Era (8/1/2022)
A workshop on Research Methodology at Department of English - Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji
Bhavnagar University. The chief guest of the session was Dr. Jagdeep Majmudar. He is a retired
Prof. of the Department of M.B.A and is the first coordinator. He is reappointed by our
university to take care of the research facilitated center. This center mainly focuses on Ph.D.
works. The workshop was in three sessions.
1. Importance Of Research- by Prof.J.P.Majmudar
2. Avoid Plagiarism- Qualitative Research in Digital Era - by Prof. Dilip Barad
3. Citation-Tools and Techniques - by Miss Vaidehi Hariyani

In the first session Prof.Majmudar gave very interesting
information about research and what is the importance of
research. Systematic Scientific inquiry is necessary while
doing research. If we conduct any research there must be
problems first. And for that, it requires the reading of
existing literature of the contemporary period. He also
said that good research starts with the gaps in the existing
literature. After finding the gap we have to critically read
the references and that who has done wh
conclusion of these references. And while doing a literature review we have to give our
comments and our conclusion to it. The research itself means adding something new to the
existing literature. It was a very very fruitful session for us and we are very thankful to Prof. J. P.
Majmudar sir.
The other session was on plagiarism. How do avoid plagiarism? and what is its importance of it
in research? What is qualitative research and how can we make our r

Why Research Paper Writing Is Necessary?
#Boosted Reading Skills
A research paper is not an essay where you are given complete freedom to share your own
considerations, and thoughts. It stands for the research and investigation of other materials, and
evidence. Therefore, you have to read a lot, pretty much. On some occasions, the investigation
may take days to find the golden mean with information to put in the college paper. So, as a
result, you boost your speed of reading and finding key arguments.
#Boosted Writing Skills
Alongside reading, it is a good practice of your writing skills, with no doubt. First, you spend
time writing your brainstormed ideas. After that, you spend some time outlining the structure of
your paper. Finally, you compose a final paper for the submission draft. During long hours of
writing, you come across mistakes on which you work, and improve your vocabulary, and just
language style.
#Competition Sense
Research papers can be also considered as an exercise for achieving your goals. If you fail to
write it and order it with a professional writing help company, it is one thing. Yet, when you fail
but continue writing, it helps to minimize your weaknesses. Further on, it helps with other
assignments like projects, reports, dissertations, and believe us, even CVs for being recruited.
You know how to write about yourself the way you stand out.
#Knowledge about Many Subjects
Another importance of research papers is that you acquire new knowledge. You cannot always
be assigned to topics of your interest. On some occasions, a professor may give you a theme that
is super complicated and boring. But, to make it interesting, you do one thing – you find with it

interesting facts, or better to say a bright side. It all leads to the acknowledgment of new
evidence and branches of certain fields and disciplines.
#Develop Critical Thinking
If you want to master the skill of critical thinking, you should definitely come across research
papers. Such assignments cannot be biased or objective. You work with a load of previously
researched materials, and try to find a pool for your own considerations. You understand what
can be said and what should be avoided. Moreover, it helps to understand why one or another
topic is important for society or you particularly.

Ecocritical Concerns in Indian
Abstract :
There has been a close relationship between environment and
literature.During the last few decades, Environment has posed a great
threat to human society as well as the earth. This relationship has been
reflected through writers and poets throughout different cultures across
the world. A variety of novels, poems and other expressions of
literature have been depicted on the backdrop of issues concerning
nature. It is an interesting study for a literary cri
writers who have discussed the close relationship between man and
nature. Ecology and ecocriticism have become important terms in today
expressions.This paper explores the ecocritical perspectives as envisaged in some s

Our message to the Readers
Hello Readers
Department life is about studying hard and gaining independence, as well as experiencing a new
place whilst making new friends, and starting masters is certainly a milestone for any student!
Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of
all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. There is no elevator to success. You have to
take the stairs. By the end of graduation, we were not, of course, educated men, but we knew
how to try to become one. Melanie Joy rightly said that
“Educating yourself does not mean you were stupid in the first place, it means that you are
intelligent enough to know that there is plenty left to learn.”
Because of Covid 19 Pandemic we completed our Part-1 in an Online Mode.So fortunately and
unfortunately we are told as CORONA BATCH.We lost many opportunities to perform
ourselves in an academic field but we learnt many digital skills that will help us in upcoming
digital era.We also learnt how important is technology in education? The COVID-19 pandemic is
quickly demonstrating why online education should be a vital part of teaching and learning. By
integrating technology into existing curricula, as opposed to using it solely as a crisis-
management tool, teachers can harness online learning as a powerful educational tool.
We present our deep gratitude to Prof.Dilip Barad for his encouragement.He always put light
regarding academic activities.He always encourage us for digital learning.Sir gave us many life
skills apart from academic skills e.g. keeping plan A B C…ready, multitasking, active
participation, reflection, use of digital tools.
Thank You….
