started twenty years ago,” grandma said. “Two boys fall in love with the same girl but obviously the girl can’t marry both boys so they fought to won the girl’s heart. When I said fought, I meant it literally. They fought like in the heroes in the Bollywood movies using real knives. Unfortunately one of the boy accidentally…

Sonder Sonder (n) - the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. Human beings are all inherently selfish. As human beings we spend so much time caught up in our own heads, we forget the fact that we are not the only ones whom the stage is set for. We forget that there are more than seven billion other individuals on this planet. Seven billion other individuals, who are just as careless, foolish, bitter, animated as we, ourselves can be. Above…

Society/pg.145- people who share a culture and society. In the video you can see what type of society the dharvi slum residents have compared to the people in the surrounding city. Even though crime may run amok you can see that the families of this society have tight knit bond with each other. They also may not all do the same jobs but many share the same ambition to hustle and provide for their families. I feel that their ambition and pride in their work is why they have a hatred for the name…

Children spend a significant amount of time with their teachers during term time; therefore, a teacher plays a crucial role in a child’s educational progress and can inspire them to progress both educationally and socially. Teaching children gives me an endless satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. I realised this, when my son started his school 20 years ago. Every parent wants their children to achieve their potential and this motivated me to start my career as a teacher. I have a lot of…

Learning a new language is one of the most difficult things I have done in my life. My whole life has changed since I moved to the United States. I did not know how to speak English when I arrived here. It is difficult to survive in the United States if you did not know how to communicate or understand what the other person is trying to say. I had to learn English by reading books and watching movies. I had a friend of mine who helped me with learning English as well. I am getting better with my…

Another line of criticism of the media imperialism thesis suggests that the resistance to the US domination is being overlooked. The theory originally regarded the media experience as a homogeneous phenomenon, with the US as “ the single centre of a process of media-centric capitalist influence, which flowed outward to the rest of the world in the form of television programmes”, while audiences on the periphery were passive and helpless (Rantanen, 2005, p.78-9).Reception studies of television…

Advancing International Human Rights to Protect against Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Protecting the Rights of Migrant Workers are the two issues before the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). In April 2014, the Supreme Court acknowledged how transgender is a third gender and asked the government to treat them as a minority. The UNHRC adopted a resolution related to sexual orientation and gender identity with India taking the position of abstain.…

Rahel Rahel is one of the main protagonists of the story. It was quite easier to understand Rahel because in the novel, we see the world through her eyes. Estha and Rahel’s younger personalities were complimentary like peanut butter and jelly. Estha was more practical and serious while Rahel can’t sit still most of the time, she has an active imagination. She seems to exist in a version of reality that is only hers. Her imagination is different from Estha. She has a more childlike imagination…

“ The theatre is not a hospital,” is what F.L.Lucas said, rejecting the idea of Aristotle, who while defining tragedy said that the function of tragedy is to arouse the emotions of pity and fear, and in this way to effect the catharsis of these emotions. The Greek word Katharsis reflects three meanings, “ purgation,” “purification” and “ clarification”. In the purgation theory of catharsis , the term catharsis has been used in medical sense, its like homeopathic treatment, where the like cures…
