Review on the teachings of Prof. Balaji Ranganathan

Learning experience..



Recently I have attended the expert lecture on postcolonial theory. The expert lecture was organised by our head of the department, Dr. Dilip Barad sir. I'm very glad to attend the lectures on postcolonialism. Prof. Ranganathan is specialist in postcolonialism, sow me and my classmates were got the chance to learn from his knowledge. His style was very unique, he was given us various examples, and through the examples we all are understand in a better way. 

 We have another session on NET/SLET. In that lecture he taught us different formula to remember the history, criticism etc. Here I'm giving more information about the teachings of Prof. Ranganathan, from which we all are get influenced.

 Four units
1. The Black skin White mask by Frantz Fanon
2. Orientalism by Edward Said
3. A Tempest by Aime Cesaire and
4. Imaginary Homeland by Salman Rushdie
Each of the units are clear in our minds, because he has the fluency in the theory.

 #Expert in Postolonialism...

 Prof. Ranganathan has deep understanding and knowledge about this theory, first of all he told us the background of the theory, because it is necessary to understand the context. In the very first chapter 'The Black skin White mask', he gives the information about the writer also. One significant sentence was, "our visualisation of nation is not fixed, it changes time by time." We have understood very well the concept of language, the difference between Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' and Aime Cesaire's 'A Tempest', the concept of Orientalism, and many other different concepts. In a way he has a mastery in this field.

 #Eloquence...

 Prof. Ranganathan was expressed his thoughts very frankly, because he has a fluency in language. He has positive attitude to teach the students, and he was also a techno-frendly teachers. 

He showed us the different presentations of orientalism in movie, which was very helpful to understand. He gave the idea of learning different languages like Russian, Japanese, Chinese, because nowadays it is more demanding languages in the market

 So, the lectures are very fruitful and enthusiastic and we are very glad to receive an expert academic sessions.

 Thank you...:)

Uncle Podger Hangs a Picture

The short story ‘Uncle Podge Hangs a Picture’ is full of comic incidents which is adopted from 'Three Men in a Boat' and  written by Jerome K. Jerome. The story revolves around Uncle Podger, who tries to hangs a picture on wall, from that activity he makes readers laugh. He thinks himself to full of ability and skills, he can do any sort of job, but in reality he involves his family members to do such job.  Uncle Podger assigns some work to all the family members and asks them to do it with maximum efficiency. He creates whole mess and he blames Aunt Maria to be responsible for creating the fuss.  Uncle Podger is the kind of person who annoyed everyone around him. They all know his capabilities, even if he doesn’t. He may mean well, and he may mean to be helpful, but all he will do is to cause more problems.

Thinking Activity: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein 1.  What are some major differences between movie and the novel Frankenstein ? When Victor Frankenstein meets Captain Roberts Walton, near the North Pole in the book the doctor is old, ill, weak and dying while in the film Victor is quite young, rather strong and active when he walks to the ship of the sailors. The first part of the story when Victor is a young boy, in the house in Geneva, is narrated by the writer with a detailed description of the place and narration of the facts and feelings. In the film this introductory part is nearly totally absent. In the book, the monster learns how to read and write when Felix teaches his language to an Arabian girl called Sofie by reading from a history book; in the film this girl is not present and we do not have the impression that books are an important influence on the monster. The character of Sofie is important because the De Laceys welcome her into their family, despite the differences of t...
