Hello Readers,               This blog is a part of my academic activity. In this blog I  interpret these two Gujarati short stories "Intellectual Indubhai" and "ISI No Haath"  both are from "Polytechnic"- a collection of short stories published in 2016 by Mahendrasinh Parmar. 'Intellectual Indubhai':                                     The first  story is a wonderful work of imaginative truth. The story about one professor Indubhai, was very intellectual and kind hearted person. He was teaching lesson of humanism and teach the thoughts of gandhiji, Narsinhi Mehta, Meera, Eliot and Rilke.

Hello Readers,             This blog is part of my study .For more details click here, ·           Why are two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie?                       As we discussed in the article that there is absence of Lulu’s in two scenes from the movie, because changes in the film have to do essentially not with the sequence of events or the dialogues but it depends on how we read the texture of the play or find the distinctive characteristic in the character is more important.                  As per my understanding, sometimes it happens that some scenes are relevant to the film that’s why it remains in the film.

Click here to read main task. ·         What connection do you see in the setting (“ A country road. A tree.Evening.”)  of the play and these paintings?                    The painting by Casper David Friedrich, suggests the hope with the symbols of country road and tree evening. And the  symbol of the country road indicates the absurdity, nothing happens, no one is coming, there is all absurdity. In the film if we look at the roads it is full of the debris, which we can say the effect of world war. And also it is connected with the time.Time never stops for anyone.Time always moves on. ·         The tree is the only important ‘thing’ in the setting. What is the importance of tree in both acts? Why does Beckett gro...

The film was helped in many ways to better understanding of the play. The film was very faithful to the play we can find same kind of plot, or we say there was nothing changes from the play.  The play and the film devided in three parts : 1.The Homecoming, 2.The Hunted, and 3.The Haunted                     When film begins Seth Beckwith, the gardener and trustworthy of Mennon family, he converses with the visitors, about Brigadier General Ezra Mennon's journey from judge to brigadier.
