How Literature Shaped me?





How literature Shaped me?

From very beginning of secondary education I start taking much interest in books. I love my lonely dark morning with books and horror midnight with books. Journey started with Panchatantra stories, Bakor Patel's stories, Arabian nights and Amar Chitra Katha's mythological books. Than interest grows and I started reading Writer like Ashwini Bhatt, Chetan Bhagat, Priykant Parikh, Harkisan Mehta, Sudha murty, Rabindranath Tagore, Jay Vasawada and various other self help as well as story book catches my eye on variety of subjects. Sometime, in the worry of what will happen next in novel makes me worried even in dream. While reading I am living the characters of that book. As Tagore says We Humans feels immense anxiety and joy of fictional character! I feel I am the part of that story or this is similar story of my! But it's all about like reflection of my memory. I don't know When books start cursing or curing myself.
What was the understanding back then and now? Can We Question Knowledge system ?
If there is question like, Does literature make you nicer people? and Make you more lonely and curse your loneliness ? In answers of this question, I would like to say that Yes, I used to read literature in my graduation or even in school days but my understanding of what is literature in real sense is developed during my master studies under the guidance of Dr. Dilip Barad. He made me able to read beyond the words. In this two years of my master studies numbers of books reading decrease but I developed my thinking ability on characters and life in literature. I really learn that to take education means to go through darkness to light... तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय. Darkness of social as well as mental bondages. Real education is What makes you free.. ! There's no boundary line of mind. I grown up with definition of education as सा विद्या या विमुक्तये but now I get it the real essence of this definition. Which means the true education makes you more liberal, free from all kind of bondages and wider our horizon as much as possible. But, As J.K. Rowling says in Harry Potter series that, 'We Muggles believes that truth will come out' but, it will not come out automatically we have to seek it. Similar thing God Says in Chetan's One night at the call centre.
Think about what you really want and what you need to change in your life to get it. If I try to tell about everything in few words, Samuel Beckett's...
" Every Tried, Every Failed... No matter. Try again, Fail Again, Fail better.
What Is Literature? back then and Now.
Well, understanding and defining literature is not everyone's cup of Tea. Still I will try to present my understanding about literature. When we say literature is a mirror to the society we somehow forget that we are also part of society. Society which is group of individuals. Each have their own Identity, suffering, dream and far away all this things Everyone have their own story to live with various colors of emotions. And literature is the clothe of this emotions, means...literature means Words...Words... and Words. latent meaning of it is real beauty to see. But, metaphor of clothe for literature is I found most appropriate as per my views. As in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' Polonius gives advice to his son Laertes. His words are... "Apparel oft proclaims the man" is expressed in modern times as "The clothes make the man"; meaning that people forms judgment about others based upon the clothes that they wear. The same happens with words... what you speak it will decide your personality. And literature means voice of society, it speaks for society to the society.

  1. When I completed my graduation, something similar happened to me. I also had a problem with finding a job. A lot of people did not know about the achievement, We only know what we read. I too completed my graduation in Literature. I first saw a lot on this subject but later my teachers helped a lot. I also took the help of online tuitions and video tutorials.
