The Adventures of Toto as a comic strip

  'The Adventures of Toto' is an amusing story by Ruskin Bond. It is prescribed as a lesson in CBSE's English course for class 9. Maggie asked her students to do a project on some of the lessons and Femi George's work is what I would like to present here. Femi converted the story into a beautiful comic strip. Her work will speak for itself and let me present it below.  Femi George Student of Carmel Public School, Vazhakulam, Kerala Similar post: The Little Girl

Literature and Meaning

Most people, almost all normal ones, live their lives by the stories they tell about themselves and those others tell about them. As psychologist Gerald Corey says, “These stories actually shape reality in that they construct and constitute what we see, feel, and do.” Your personality is not a static entity which took shape at your birth once and for all. As you grew up physically, you encountered a lot of other people, situations, and forces that contributed into the ongoing shaping of your personality even if you didn’t want all that shaping. Your life is a story that continues to be written till your death. You are the ultimate writer of your own story though a whole lot of others make significant contributions which you can’t ignore. Every Othello has to meet his Iago. But the plot need not necessitate the murder of Desdemona. Every Hamlet has to deal with the demons of fraudulence. Mark Antony has a choice to not “let Rome in Tiber melt” and thus rewrite his story. Your...

Vishwamitra: The King and the Ascetic

Vishwamitra and young Rama (Gemini AI) “O Rama, I shall teach you Bala and Atibala , the two secret mantras, which are the mother of all knowledge. By chanting them, you will never suffer from fatigue, hunger, thirst, or disease. You will shine among all beings, your intellect will be unmatched, and your strength will be extraordinary.” Rama was barely an adolescent when Sage Vishwamitra took him away from the comforts of the palace to the hardships of the forest. Dasharatha wasn’t quite happy to send his young son with the sage. How can a tender boy protect a mighty sage from rakshasas as powerful as Tataka and Subahu? Dasharatha is ready to send his entire army instead. He offers himself then. Vishwamitra reminds Dasharatha of his raja-dharma of upholding righteousness, even above personal emotions. If a sage asks for help, the king must honour the request. “Rama is no ordinary human child,” Vishwamitra tells Dasharatha. “He is born for a higher purpose.” When Vasistha, the ro...

Tara of Kishkindha

Tara and Rama as imagined by Gemini AI Tara was an apsara, a celestial nymph, who emerged from the ocean. When the gods and demons churned the ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality (Amrita), many divine beings and objects emerged. Tara was one of those precious entities. She was so stunningly beautiful that almost every man there – gods, demons, and the vanaras – wanted to marry her. According to certain Puranas, Lord Vishnu resolved the problem by declaring that the person standing on the right side of Tara would be her husband. Vali, the vanara, happened to be the lucky one. In Valmiki Ramayana, Tara is the daughter of a venerable vanara physician. Depending on where you read about her, Tara assumes multiple forms. The Puranas venerate her as one of the Panchakanyas, Five Holy Virgins, whose names are believed to have purifying and protective power when recited. Tara was not a virgin physically. She was the wife of both Vali and Sugriva, and had a son too. It is her moral qua...

The Silence of the Sarayu

By Gemini AI The Sarayu wept again. In silence. Sita had been swallowed by the earth. If I have been pure in thought, word, and deed, and have never once thought of any man but Rama, then, O Mother Earth, receive me into your bosom. Sita prayed and Bhumi Devi, Mother Earth, appeared personally to take Sita into her embrace. She vanished from the earth after that. Silence descended on Ayodhya. It engulfed Rama and Lakshmana and everyone else. The Sarayu was both a witness and a participant of all the sighs that underlay the silence. Rama fell into silence after Sita’s departure. He knew he was incomplete without Sita. He knew that words would have no meaning hereafter. The silence of the fissured heart is more eloquent than the music of apsaras. The Sarayu could feel the pulse of Rama’s silence as he sat on her shore looking into her depths for days on end. Words have had their time already. The Sarayu recalled how words fell from Sita’s noble lips when Rama asked her to u...
