This blog is part of my academic work. I try to answer all the questions asked in given task on Dan Brown 's 'Da Vinci Code' Introduction The Da Vinci Code is a 2003 mystery-detective fiction novel written by American author Dan Brown. It follows symbologist Robert Langdon as he investigates a murder in Paris's Louvre Museum and discovers a battle between the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei over the possibility of Jesus Christ ’s marriage with Mary Magdalene. 1. Brown states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that his book The Da Vinci Code is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith." Yes of course, I agree with Brown's views on ‘Da Vinci Code' that novel is simply an entertaining story that promo

#15 February 2019  #ए कौनसी मशाल है जो सबके भीतर जल रही है? जिसके कारण कोई शहिद होने को तैयार हो जाता है, तो कोई आत्मघाती हमला करने। आज सवाल ऐ होता है कि हम मानवता और कर्मा फिलोसोफी  के विचार से तो बहोत दूर निकल छूके है, तो क्या आज धर्म भी कट्टरता का झण्डा बना जा रहा है ??? पुलवामा मे हुआ ऐ आतंकी हमला जिसमे CRPF  के ४४ जवानों ने जान खोयी है, वो हमें ए सोचने पर मजबूर करता करता देता है, ओर तत्काल ही टेलेविज़न या सोशल मीडिया पर तेजी से एक उग्र राष्ट्रवाद की हवा फैल जाती है। क्या ए वो solution है? जिससे हम इस तरह कि भयानक घटनाओं को दुबारा होने से रोक सकते है या फिर इन सब बातों का जवाब एक मात्र शब्द में हैं… युद्ध? इन सारे सवालों मे एक वास्तविकता है जो हमारे सामने बेशर्म बन के खड़ी है, न तो उसे बदला जा सकता है और ना ही सहा जा सकता है क्योंकि, हमले मे मारे गए करीब ४४ जवान की शहीदी, ‘Deat of Individual'  पर सोचने को मजबूर करती है। एक मृत्यु से व्यक्ति या फिर किसी का exist  न करना, कई बातों का रूपक है। कुछ करने के जोश से पैदा किया हुआ व्यक्तित्व अगर एक ही पल में नष्ट होता है तो ये ब

To meet an author whom we admire is really a great opportunity. Today, I've been fortunate to meet an author Dhruv Bhatt. Dhruv Bhatt  is renown author in Gujrati literature. I've grown up  with reading his novels, from Samudrantike" to  "Agnikanya"and today I got an opportunity to meet him live at our University campus MKBU . I expect that He will be different from his writing. I mean I thought he have atitude like big celebrity as many authors have, but He looks so normal as any simple man. He sung some  Bhajans and very famous poem...                                           ઓચિંતુ કોઇ મને રસ્તે મળે ને                           કદી ધીરેથી પૂછે કે કેમ છે ?                  આપણે તો કહીએ કે દરિયા શી મોજમાં                         ને ઉપથી કુદરતની રહેમ છે. ફાટેલા ખીસ્સાની આડમાં મૂકી છે અમે છલકાતી મલકાતી મોજ; એકલો ઊભું ને તોયે મેળામાં હોઉં એવું લાગ્યા કરે છે મને રોજ, તળું વસાય નહીં એવડી પટારીમાં આપણો ખજાનો હેમખેમ છે…. આંખોમાં પાણી તો આવે ને જાય નથી ભીતર ભીના

The White Tiger is the debut novel by Arvind Adiga which was first published in 2008 and won one of the most important literary awards, The Man Booker Prize . Novel is an unflattering portrait of India as a society of servitude and corruption. But if, Literature is mirror of life and society, writer should portrait whatever is present in reality and A committed writer consciously draws the attention of the reader towards injustice in society. Adiga is one of them, He expose the ugly but real face of India. So there is question that, How far do you agree with the India represented in the novel – The White Tiger  I do agree with that the India represented in the novel -The white Tiger.

Emotions on the day of result announcement... On the day of results announcement, I participated (or I shared views with classmates) in Ds's column 'Thought for the day' in that I mentioned Steve Jobs one quote that... "Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by Dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Apart from that I said few lines about Emotions because the result special DS was full of variety of emotions, and in context of that I took reference of Robert Frost's line that.. “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” ― Robert Frost Emotions are fickle. Sometimes they’re clear and brilliant: we’re happy, sad, frustrated, or angry. But emotions can also be complicated, layered, and conflicting. Sure, we’re hap
