Rabindranath Tagore was a Bengali poet, novelist, musician, and artist. He was born in 1861 in Calcutta, India and educated in India and England. He founded universities including Visva-Bharati University and pioneered new systems of education. Tagore wrote poems, stories, songs, dance dramas and essays. He received the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first non-European laureate. Tagore influenced literature and education with works such as Gitanjali and National Anthems of India and Bangladesh. He died in 1941 after a long illness.
The document is about a man who is fascinated by death and the mysteries of life. He spends time in cremation grounds with his friend, contemplating death. Years later, after witnessing the death of a friend, he develops a theory that people continue to exist in time even after ceasing to exist in space. He is intrigued by spiritual figures and loves exploring philosophical questions, though this drives one acquaintance insane. He also admires a classmate from a distance but struggles with feelings of inadequacy.
This document provides an overview of pre-colonial and Spanish colonial Philippine literature. It discusses various pre-colonial oral literary forms like folk tales, epics, poems, and songs that existed across ethnic groups. It also summarizes some significant ethnographic epics. When the Spanish colonized the Philippines, they began influencing the culture and introduced the Roman alphabet and works of Christian doctrine. Literary works from the Spanish period included religious books, dictionaries documenting local languages, poems, metrical romances, songs, and Passion plays. Notable novels from this era discussed are Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.
The document summarizes the history and evolution of the Indian national flag from its first flag in 1906 to its current design adopted in 1947. It describes each historical flag in brief. It also provides details on the design, ratio, colors, and wheel symbol of the current flag along with key provisions from the Flag Code of India relating to its usage and protection. Recent amendments allowed machine-made and polyester flags to be used and for the flag to be flown day and night.
This document discusses the importance of trees and provides ways to save trees. Trees are vital for the environment as they produce oxygen, control pollution, act as carbon sinks, and provide shade. They are also important for soil protection. The document recommends recycling paper products, sharing magazines, refusing napkins, printing only when necessary, using recycled paper products, reusing wrapping paper, stopping tree cutting, planting new trees on birthdays, and protecting trees to be protected.
Indian Army Day is celebrated annually on January 15th to commemorate Field Marshal Kodandera M. Cariappa becoming the first Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army in 1949 after independence. On this day, the army pays tribute to fallen soldiers at the Amar Jawan Jyoti memorial in New Delhi. An excellent parade is then held showcasing new military technologies and accomplishments, and bravery awards are distributed to honor acts of valor by members of the Indian Army.
Global Handwashing Day is celebrated annually on October 15th to promote handwashing with soap. The 2018 theme is "Clean Hands: A Recipe for Health" which emphasizes washing hands at key times like after using the bathroom and before eating to reduce risk of diarrhea and other illnesses. Proper handwashing only takes soap and water but can significantly reduce the spread of germs and diseases.
Anthony Van Leuwenhoek invented a powerful microscope in 1674 that could magnify objects 300 times, allowing him to discover bacteria and other microorganisms. He observed bacteria, protozoa, algae, fungi, and other microbes under his microscope. Microscopes are necessary to see most microorganisms because they are too small to be viewed with the naked eye. Microbes come in different shapes, sizes, and configurations and include bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, protozoa, and micro arthropods. Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotes that can live in diverse environments and reproduce through binary fission.
Collective nouns refer to words used to describe groups of people, animals, or objects. The document lists examples of collective nouns such as a family, team, army, crew, audience, orchestra, flock of birds, fleet of airplanes, brood of chickens, herd of cows, pride of lions, swarm of bees, and school of fish. Collective nouns help concisely describe multiple entities acting as a single unit.

India has immense cultural and linguistic diversity due to its large size and history of many groups migrating to the region. However, beneath the surface diversity there remains a strong underlying cultural unity among Indians. This unity is reflected in shared cultural heritage across religions, common spiritual values and practices, and pan-Indian artistic and architectural traditions. It is this cultural unity that serves as an important bond between the diverse peoples of India.

This document defines and describes various camera shot types and cinematic techniques, including establishing shots, close ups, two shots, Dutch angles, bird's eye views, high and low angle shots, rack focus, footage, and montage. It was presented by CVVMMK Dhaveji, a school assistant science teacher at Taylor High School in Narsapur, Andhra Pradesh, India.
The document discusses endangered species around the world and in India. It defines endangered species as organisms whose numbers have declined rapidly and may become extinct soon. It notes that the World Wildlife Federation publishes a Red Data Book or Red List Book that details endangered and threatened flora and fauna species. This book serves as a warning about species that are endangered and need protection to avoid extinction. The rest of the document lists various endangered animal and plant species found in India.
The document discusses proper food storage and preservation methods to prevent spoilage. It states that microorganisms and improper storage can spoil food, causing health issues. Various traditional methods are described to control microbes and moisture, including sun drying, smoking, salting, and freezing. Commercial techniques like canning and pasteurization use high heat to kill microbes. Proper storage also protects against pests like insects and rats. Controlling moisture, temperature, and microbes through various traditional and commercial methods can prevent food spoilage and ensure long-term availability and safety.
Microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa can cause plant diseases. The study of plant diseases is called plant pathology. Pathogens are the microorganisms that cause diseases, and they can spread from infected to healthy plants through contact, water droplets, or vectors. Common plant diseases include rice leaf blight caused by bacteria, rice blast caused by fungi, wheat rust caused by fungi, red rot of sugarcane caused by fungi, and tikka disease of groundnut caused by fungi. Managing diseases involves using resistant varieties, treating seeds, removing infected plants, and applying fungicides.

2. The friendship
between a French-
Canadian Priest
and a Bengali film-maker
led to path-breaking
work in
film studies
3. Fr. Gaston Roberge was acquainted
with the works of Satyajit Ray through
the Apu Trilogy
4. He found the world of
Apu so fascinating that
he saw all three films in
one sitting; and there
began his longstanding
love affair with the
people of India and
Bengali cinema and
culture
5. Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road, 1955)
Pather Panchali tells the story of a poor family
living in a Bengal village. A priest - Harihar, his
wife - Sarbajaya, his two children - Apu and
Durga, and his aged cousin - Indir Thakrun,
struggle to make both end meet.
Harihar is frequently away from home on work.
The wife is raising her mischievous daughter
Durga and caring for elderly cousin Indir. Apu is
born. Soon, Durga and Apu build a bond as they
explore the world around the village. The
sequences of Durga and Apu are the most
cinematic moments in the film. On a stormy day,
following a joyous dance in the monsoon rains,
Durga dies. On Harihar's return, the family leaves
their village in search of a new life in Benaras.
The film closes with an image of Harihar, wife
and son - Apu, moving way in an ox cart.
6. Aparajito (The Unvanquished), 1956
The film opens with Apu wandering and exploring the
city.
Harihar falls ill with fever and collapses at the
riverbank. Harihar's death leaves mother and son to
fend for themselves.
The mother decides to return with Apu to live in a
village where an old uncle works as a priest. She
makes sacrifices so that he might pursue his studies.
Apu, now sixteen, wins a scholarship and departs for
Calcutta, leaving her alone. It breaks Sarbajaya's
heart, but she relents. Her health is failing, and the
loneliness in the village takes its toll.
Engulfed in city life - studying during the day and
working in a printing press at night to pay for his
expenses - Apu grows away from his mother. She
waits silently for her son's visit as her illness
accelerates and falls into a depression.
On a night , Sarbajaya dies. Apu comes back to an
empty house. He grieves for his mother, but soon
finds strength to leaves the village for the last time, to
carry on with his new life in the city ...
7. Apur Sansar (The World of Apu, 1959
Apu is now a graduate and without a job. He is
writing a novel based on his life, which he hopes
will make him famous. His life takes a turn when
he meets his old friend Pulu. He coerces Apu to
travel to his ancestral village to attend the
wedding of his cousin, Aparna (Sharmila Tagore ). On
the day of the wedding, the bridegroom turns
out to be mentally deranged and the wedding is
cancelled. Apu primarily of out sympathy for the
bride and some convincing by Pulu, agrees to be
the substitute groom. He has not even seen her
yet.
Soon, a warm and caring relationship develops.
Apu willingly takes up the clerical job.
Pregnant, she goes to her parents' place and dies
during the childbirth. Apu's world shatters. He
leaves Calcutta to lead the life of a wanderer.
Apu comes back to the village. On seeing his son,
Apu is overwhelmed by affection. United, they
leave for Calcutta to make a new beginning..
8. In his latest book,
Satyajit Ray Essays:
1970-2005, a
compilation of his
essays , Roberge
provides a scholarly,
original analysis of
Ray's works, giving an
insight into the
greatness of Ray both
as a person and as an
artist.
works of Satyajit Ray
9. “The Apu Trilogy was, in fact, my first portal to
West Bengal and its people,” he told Frontline.
12. Roberge knew of
Bengal was through a -

13. If the harsh
image of poverty
brought out by
the article on
the “Saint of the
slums” haunted
him, Apu’s world
came as a
reassurance.
SAINT OF THE
SLUMS
14. Roberge does not endorse the accusation
of Ray's detractors that the master director
made his reputation selling India's poverty
to the West.
15. "What struck me most was not the material poverty
depicted in the films, but the enormous spiritual richness
of the characters, whose poverty didn't prevent them from
being so deeply human and so full of joy. Besides, the
spiritual poverty of some rich people is much more
deplorable than material poverty," he said.
16. Roberge does not speak with the arrogance of the
west. "I was here on a quest to know the world and
in the process know myself. I did not come here to
convert. In fact, I am the one who got converted."
17. It took him nine years to muster up the
confidence to meet Ray in person.
18. "Although I wanted to meet him right away, I didn't want
to just go and see him like he was a living museum piece.
I wanted to prepare myself, get to know his works more,
so that when we met, there could be a worthwhile
dialogue,"
19. "When they finally met, it was
the beginning of a close
friendship that lasted 22 years
- until Ray's death in 1992
20. "It was a very quiet friendship that developed
over the years. Manikda [as Ray was
affectionately called by friends] was a shy person
and always very discreet about displaying his
emotions," said Roberge.
21. Though to outsiders, Ray's massive stature -
physical and intellectual - might have made
him come across as cold, aloof and even
intimidating, he was in reality a very simple
and unassuming man with a subtle sense of
humour.
22. It was an unspoken arrangement between
the two of them to meet on Sundays at 9
a.m. at Ray's residence on Bishop Lefroy
Road, Kolkata.
23. . Ray would invite Roberge over for private
screenings of his latest films and welcomed
comments on them.
25. Ray's screenplay manuscripts were an art by
themselves, Roberge says, "hand-written in
Bengali, with notes in English for his set-designer,
with sketches here and there, and
occasional staff notation of fragments of music".
27. . Roberge writes, “It is as if all Bengal was in Manikda: the
rich and the poor, the powerful and the humble, the
peasants and the city persons, children, teenagers, adults
and old people, men and women.”
29. If one compares the
last major prose piece
by Rabindranth Tagore,
"Shabhyatar Sankat"
(Crisis of Civilisation),
which contains his
immortal dictum that in
spite of what was
happening it would be
a sin to lose faith in
Man ,
30. …and the last three
films of Ray –
Ganashatru(Public Enemy),
Shakha Prashakha
(Branches of the tree), and
Agantuk(The Stranger) –
the analogy becomes
clear.
31. "In these three films Ray was at his most
personal and when some critics saw the
films as didactic and verbose, he felt
deeply hurt. …
32. …For, in these last films, Satyajit was directly
talking to us, conveying his personal message
on society and civilisation.
33. …If the impulse that motivated his earlier
films was aesthetics in the last three it was
self- expression. And there we were denying
him his right to speak. As the saying goes, no
one is a prophet in his own country,” said
Roberge.
34. An agnostic throughout his life, it is
possible, Roberge feels, that in the face of
death Ray was searching for an answer.
This was suggested by some of the music that he used in Shakha Prashakha.
35. The last time the two friends met,
Ray was in hospital, on his deathbed.
It was a Sunday and Roberge, true to
habit, arrived on the dot at 9 a.m.
36. “He had grown so weak that he looked frail
as a child. I did not stay long, d as I was
leaving, Manikda said, ‘Bhalo laglo’ [it was
nice]. Those were his last words to me,” said
Roberge.
37. One important fallout of this friendship was
the establishment of Chitrabani , a
communication and film institute, the first of
its kind in West Bengal, which Roberge
founded in 1970 and to which Ray, as a token
of friendship, lent his name as co-founder.
38. Ray was in the first governing body and after
a few terms readily agreed to be the
institute’s adviser. Roberge arranged most of
the initial funding from Canadian agencies.
39. “I had no reservations
applying for them, for I
feel richer countries in
the West are indebted
to countries like India,”
he said.
40. For 26 years Roberge was
the director of Chitrabani
and under him the
institute not only
produced important
documentary features,
but also became
breeding ground for local
talent for film-making…
