Sunday Reading: Girish Karnad

Girish Karnad, Indian playwright, author, actor, and film director whose movies and plays, written largely in Kannada, explore the present by way of the past. After graduating from Karnataka University in 1958, Karnad studied philosophy, politics, and economics as a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford. He wrote his first play, the critically acclaimed Yayati, while still at Oxford. Centred on the story of a mythological king, the play established Karnad’s use of the themes of history and mythology that would inform his work over the following decades. Karnad’s next play, Tughlaq, tells the story of the 14th- century sultan Muhammad ibn Tughlaq and remains among the best known of his work. After knowing the facts about Karnad as well as reding various newspaper articles on his recent demise, I can say that he was a ‘Crackpot’.

Poe's Short Stories: Dr. Jay Mehta's task

The mysterious, secretive and dark settings characterize the stories of the writer who is considered to be the inventor of detective fiction, i.e Edgar Allan Poe. Mostly known for his short stories and poetry, Poe's own life was quite mysterious and controversial itself. However, that's not what this post is all about. This post explores how, writers of those times, especially writers of detective fiction like Poe, could create some of the spine-chilling narratives with nothing but words. Language though often considered a distinct field of study from literature, has a symbiotic relationship with the same. So here is my answer which .... asked here ... 1) Alliteration is indeed one of those devices which help the writer in creating a kind of dark setting required for this genre. However, I would rather like to point out the very first line of the story માનસંઘ, i.e 'એક તો એ અંધારી રાત હતી'. The idea of that અંધારી રાત (dark night) sets the mood of the story. T...

Thinking activity on The Birthday party...by Harold Pinter

1} Why are two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie? It is very difficult to know director’s intention behind omitting Lulu’s scene. Because it does not make any difference may be the scenes are omitted. Lulu is a girl who can be impressed very easily and we can see in the movie that she is actively participating with Goldberg. Goldberg is not doing it forcefully or Lulu is not in position where she has to be submissive, she is doing it willingly and after that complaining. May be her complain is right but no one will believe her. The centre of the play is Stanley and symbolically Lulu is his inspiration. When Lulu goes near to Goldberg, it is enough to see that how Stanley is left alone now and after this may be there is no need to show the scene of Lulu blaming Goldberg. May be because of this reason director omitted the scene of Lulu. 2} Is movie successful in giving us the effect of menace? a you able to feel it while reading the text? Yes, while watching movie we do feel...
