1. Collected poems by Nissim Ezekiel

I have written my views on two poems, the first poem “Tonight” gives us a sense that what the person has achieved in his life and what he is hoping beyond his life, and “Process” suggests that whatever you achieve does not matters but the process of doing it, and encouraging our own self is important.

2. “Contemporary Indian Short Stories”

I have celebrated Hindi Diwas but in a different way, I have issued one book from our department’ library, named “Contemporary Indian Short Stories” and in that book I have found a short story “The Child” by Munshi Premchand (famous figure for his Hindi-Urdu literature) which was translated in English by Madan Gupta.

3. “Contemporary Bengali Poems”

I have took two poems which I liked most from the book, first is 'Dream' and second is 'I Desire'.

4. "Chitra" - A play in one act by Rabindranath Tagore

The play can be finished in one sitting and have a delight of its reading. It gives us pleasure with its language and also makes us think about the psychological condition of a woman who is physically strong like man.

“Beloved, my life is full”

5. "A book of modern Short Stories" - edited by G Kumara Pillai

This book contains eight short stories by different writers and the book is edited by G Kumara Pillai. In this blog I have embedded all the blogs of eight short stories.

6. A Horseman in the Sky - Ambrose Bierce

This story tells us the cruel truth of war. In war, emotions have not any place and Carter has shot the horseman without knowing the purpose of that man for being there.

7. The Gift of The Magi - O. Henry

Both have brought gifts for each other by selling their favorite and things on which they can take pride

8. “The Doll’s House” - Katherine Mansfield

This story clearly indicates the parenting process and class conflict and how it effects on innocent mind of children.

9. Gateman’s gift - R. K. Narayan

The remote of small worker’s emotions is in the hands of high positioned employees. It is like when teacher admires students they get excited and work harder than before.

10. The Model Millionaire - Oscar Wilde

“Unless one is wealthy there is no use in being a charming fellow Romance is the privileged of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed.

11. The Ant and the Grasshopper - Somerset Maugham

This short story of Maugham has the same story but with different ending. Two brothers have replaced the role of ant and grasshopper.

12. “The Lie of Dawns Poems 1974-2008" - by Jayanta Mahapatra

In this blog, I have selected a poem “Pain” from the first part.

The poem is about pain. It is the process of pain, it rises from the blood and it grows from the blood of our heart. Poet has compared the pain and its increasing with tree. The feeling of pain grows and grows.... higher and higher.... but with the help of our blood
