Today [19 June] is national reading day in India. Let me celebrate it with three posters I prepared with the help of Canva.
Humour died a thousand deaths in India after May 2014. The reason – let me put it as someone put it on X. The stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra called a politician some names like ‘traitor’ which made his audience laugh because they misunderstood it as a joke. Kunal Kamra has to explain the joke now in a court of justice. I hope his judge won’t be caught with crores of rupees of black money in his store room . India itself is the biggest joke now. Our courts of justice are huge jokes. Our universities are. Our temples, our textbooks, even our markets. Let alone our Parliament.

In order to understand the culture behind Ramayana, I even took the trouble to brush up my little knowledge of Sanskrit by attending a brief course.

DeleteBeautiful! I have to learn to use Canva.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to learn.
DeleteReading is indeed the gateway to knowledge and wisdom.

That's just it. What we read matters.
DeleteI can hardly imagine anything more commendable than a National Reading Day. It should become a World Reading Day.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be a good idea.
DeleteCanva is a God Sent! Great posters!
ReplyDeleteYes, I use Canva for various purposes.
