To Know or not to Know Spying, lying, and madness are essential elements of Shakespeare’s drama. On one hand, deceptions in the play can be destructive; on the other hand, they can aim to progress and to showing kindness. Occasionally deception becomes the foundation of a play, as is the case with the Closet Scene, and, most particularly, Hamlet who arranged to deceive his own mother, Gertrude. While some critics believe that there is not enough factual evidence to make an assumption regarding…
Rock’s Rugged Whisper What took me to Arcot, the city of Nawabs, was the photograph of a Rock Cut temple at Vellore Museum. Though not at par with Ajanta and Elephanta Caves it was a beautiful sight and reminded me of Bagh Caves.

When I read, “Alone On A Hilltop” by John (Fire) Lame Deer and Richard Erdoes, “The Men We Carry In Our Minds” by Scott Russell Sanders, “An Indian Father’s Plea” by Medicine Grizzlybear Lake, and “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan I…
All around the world, children are treated differently, in schools and educational settings, because of their culture. In many societies, there is one “main” or “popular” culture, and many “sub” cultures; many authors have written about their accounts of the discrimination, and how they would see it dealt with. In An Indian Father’s Plea by Robert Lake (Medicine Grizzlybear), a concerned father addresses the labeling of his son as a “Slow Learner”, and is treated differently based on the culture…
