  Based On A Conversation between Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and Romila Thapur The main purpose of this article is to explore the conversation between Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and Romila Thapar to question and analyze what the exact idea of India is. Through reading their conversation they first take a historical approach and talk about how India has changed and the main events which had taken place to make such changes. The speakers take us back to the 1920s to the movement which Gandhi was trying to spread and then further exploring the different ideas of India.  Through the conversation of Spivak and Thapar we can understand the everchanging ideas in society. The main highlight being how ideas of a particular thing can be different but in reference to the article, how the ideas of India are different. The way people think is always different and thus we have our own opinions depending on the subject. The two women talk about how the ideas of India differ through time, sto...

The power of our thoughts can be equally astonishing and dangerous. Our thoughts are so vast, we have many cognitive processes and the environment also plays an important role in influencing our thoughts.  There are 14 qualities we possess which makes up our mind power and the power of thinking. These 14 qualities can be enhanced to level up our thinking. There are also things which we need to avoid. 1. Concentration Concentration is an ability which we all require in our daily lives. Since we live in such hurried lives, we as humans may have a tendency of not being able to concentrate on only one thing. There are so many things that run through our mind, as students, it may be school/college work, assignments and lessons, besides these we also think of our interests thus we can't set our minds on one thing.  We can, however, improve our concentration and there are also hindrances we should avoid.  Enhancers:  a. Taking breaks b. Meditation c. Solving puzzles or word...

Trigger Warning: ABORTION. These are my personal opinions on the topic, I am in no way saying that abortion has only one choice. It is completely up to the perspective and choices of the person in question.   Pro-Life or Pro-Choice?  When talking about abortion, people are either pro-life, pro-choice or are stuck in the in-between. Personally, I am pro-choice and the post may seem a little biased but I will try to consider both sides before concluding. According to the article (attached at the end of the post), there are many viewpoints in terms of abortion. It is an endless debate with no right answer.  The Perspective of Pro-Life. Usually, those who fall under this category think that discarding of the foetus is wrong because it is a human being and has developed life. There is no such way of knowing whether or not the foetus wants to be discarded or to continue to live. They think that the foetus is innocent and defenceless.  It is also believed that by carr...

Philosophy of Life Reading the words, "What is your philosophy of life?", made me really think hard about what exactly is my philosophy in life and whether or not it was actually my philosophy or another person's philosophy which was instilled in me. I started wondering about things I've done in life and the experiences I've had, something which was constant with me, something I truly believed and I realized I did have a strong belief. It could very well be considered as a philosophy which is "don't judge people or things in general, based on what you have heard from someone else." I truly value and believe in this and try my best to remember this when certain difficult situations arise in life.  Recently, I have been trying to have a spiritual awakening and find my path to God. Religious beliefs always play such an important role in a mundane's life. Religion influences us from when we are born and gives us a window of perception. I was ...

February 28th 2020. The day of Janus, Alumni Meet and Under 25 Summit. On 28th February, a bright and early morning, 3 events took place in the Jyoti Nivas campus. Young media students and their hardworking teachers were running around finishing the final touches for their two big events, which were Janus and the Alumni Meet. My two friends and I volunteered to help out for the alumni meet and we were in charge of welcoming the alumni and handing them badges and a ribbon. We were set outside the auditorium and it was a great pleasure to meet those who had gone to our college before us.  After the meet ended, we had gone for our lunch break and then gone to experience the remaining of Janus. Our teachers and fellow students gave us such a great experience to meet and get to know a few companies for internship programs and also a few post-graduate courses which we can take up. My friends and I visited two booths as most of the other booths had packed and left. However, the...

CONTAGION. noun the communication of disease from one person or organism to another by close contact. As 2020 began, we came into contact with a virus known as the coronavirus. The pandemic started from a city in China called Wuhan and has now spread over the world causing everyone to stay under quarantine. We as humans have lost our freedom to roam the streets because the virus is spread when we touch surfaces of things it is present in and is active for different periods of time depending on the type of surface, for example, it is active on our hands for 5-10 minutes.  I, personally, have taken a lot of measures to prevent catching the virus even before the virus was confirmed in India. I made sure to regularly wash my hands whenever I went to a new place, wear a mask, frequently used my hand-sanitizer and also made sure my friends did the same. I've always been cautious of what kind of infections we can receive from what we touch when we're out of our ...

WUTHERING HEIGHTS Abridged by Sable Pradhan and Lalremkimi Originally written by  Emily Bronte in 1847. Mr. Lockwood rushed toward his landlord, Mr. Heathcliff who seemed to radiated an aura of a strict, calm and reserved person. The conversation between the two men did not go as smoothly as Mr. Lockwood had imagined. He did not feel even a little bit welcomed by his landlord. Despite their short and half-hearted interaction, Mr. Lockwood was invited by Mr. Heathcliff into his estate, Thrushcross Grange. “Walk in!” was his inviting statement. The Grange was home to Mr. Heathcliff's manor named, Wuthering Heights. ‘Wuthering’ was the local adjective used to describe the stormy and disorderly atmosphere of the area that the mansion was stationed in. While passing the threshold of the manor, Mr. Lockwood noticed the date “1500” and the name “Hareton Earnshaw” inscribed on the door. He thought better than to ponder over the inscription, considering his landlord’s surl...

  Gaze. noun a steady intent look.    Gaze. verb to fix the eyes in a steady intent look often with eagerness or studious attention.  Laura Mulvey a renowned feminist film theorist from Britain who wrote an essay about the 'Male Gaze', which refers to the engagement of the viewers to the visual media. Her theory criticizes the depiction of women in media and how they are viewed by men and how they are forced to be viewed by the audience. In her essay, she writes about the different possible pleasures and where she suggests the destruction of pleasure and how that is a radical weapon. Mulvey not only suggests eradicating pleasure which may only be seen as sexual and bring in a new form of pleasure which can be relatable to all kinds of audiences.  This blog post is written based on my opinions and how I perceive the films. It may differ from person to person but this post is to solely criticize and interpret the films based on Laura Mulvey's ...

Today's Topic: I will be questioning the meaning of the word 'Existence' and what it means to us. Get ready for a lot of questions and confusion but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.  'Existence' in itself is a very large word with millions of meanings. To simply put it, 'Existence' is a way of living. We think we exist because we are alive. However, even those who are no longer here with us still exist within our mind because they are retained in our memories. Even in the books we read, the things we study we know a person or event has existed because of the stories that have been passed on through the years.  Although we know we exist, we still ask ourselves, ‘ Why do we exist? ’ Humans are curious in nature. We question the little things even though there are bigger and more important things in life. We tend to focus on matters which are inside our own little bubbles, not focusing on the big picture. Of course, there are in...
