Breath

Image
Here is my interpretation regarding "Samuel Beckett by Damien Hirst - "Breath" . To see original web source click here. 1. 'Breath' is not different then breathing. Beacuse of breath, we can live. But if the atmosphere around us will be polluted then we could not breath properly. And our health will also be effected. Its a common conclusion. 2. 'Breath's second interpretation is that, garbage is spreaded everywhere. But it looks that its not showing material garbage, it looks that garbage is over-selves, when we do nothing on this land. Ourself is like a garbage. And there is no value of ourselves, because at last "Mitti ke putle hai.. Mitti me mil jana hai.." 3. Third interpretation is that, the sense of nothingness. A very short "PLAY". Meaningless yet MEANINGFUL. Thank you. 

Existentialism: Concept Understanding

Image
On the topic of Existentialism we have a flipped learning task. We have a source of videos that we have to observe and learn about the topic. So after watching these videos I am sharing my views here... [To see original task click here] Video 1: Existentialism is made up with the tri-angle of i) Individuality ii) Passsion & iii) Freedom Video 2: Alburt Camus discusses the meaning of life. Why one cummits suicide? Because they thought that life is not worth living. But he says "An elegant suicide is the ultimate work of art." Video 3: Wherever there is an existence of MAN and THE WORLD there is an existence of ABSURDITY too. If you avoid the absurdity which you found around you, you are killing a philosopher inside you. And this is called PHILOSOPHICAL SUICIDE. Video 4: Dadaism movement arouse in 1916(after WW2) which is a quest of change. Dadaism means to make yourself free from all values. It was not Nihilistic or Existentialistic movement but it w...

Post Truth Concept

Image
As I understand Post-truth I am giving my view.. Truth is a fact. Whereas Post-truth is a truth which is not really fact but just took its place in people's mind. If we hear or see lie we started believing in it. In class we have discussed that Grammar Rules are made like this.. if 9 person out of 10 are wrong and one is right then rule will be made according to the answer of those 9. Not like that one. Mostly politicians took benefit of this idea.  I want to give another example of movie PK . In this movie Jaggu was giving a t.v report on how a dog has tried to do suicide. We all know that this is definitely lie. But media's "garam masala" and the way of presenting make us believe in that lie. So this is a Post-Truth. Which has no direct connection to the real fact but the imaginative truth that is "created", not the "fact".

School in Jungle

This image is a direct satire on current education system. We have same education system for all type of students and we have expectation that all should come first or atleast in first five. How is it possible? All have different capacity and expertization in their own skills. Their capacity and skills should be judge accordingly. Same evaluation can not give right result. For fair selection it is necessary to create the system which gives justice to all.

'The White Tiger' Review

Image
The White Tiger is written by Arvind Adiga in 2008. Which is his Booker Prize winner novel. Here is my review regarding this book.  #  The portrayal of India shown in this text is: - Crowdy and areas full with slums - Pollution - Poverty - Corruption in every field is shown in real  # Balram's story is an archetype of 'rags and riches' . The story has the same story of a poor boy who suddenly becomes rich.  # Derrida's idea of deconstruction can be applied here too.. - Balram has killed his master and became rich. Here he could have done hard work to become rich or he could have stolen the money only. - He had done crime and then also he said he is not guilty. - Even he don't care for his family. In India servants are found most faithful person in family. But here Balram betrayed his master. He believes that he is better than Ashok his master, but actually he just giving false satisfaction to himself. Thank You.
