Talk with an author Dr. Vishal Bhadani

-
   
   
               On 1st January 2019,We had a guest lecture of Dr.Vishal Bhadani. He talked on his collection of short stories entitled 'Fictionalay' and its significance in the common people's life.Vishal Sir read his two stories and also given tips to write short stories or any work.

              I had read three short stories of  'Fictionalay 'that is  'Mara Hath ni wat nthi ','Sansi ane Ranjana ' and 'Museum of innocence '.All these stories are connected with middle class people.

● Mara Hath ni wat nthi :- 

               In this story the writer covers all basic things but the title itself challenging. Author connects problems of society with the different parts of hands.Like Plam, Finger, thumb etc.He connects various parts of hands with different things like ,Buddha, Lord Vishnu,Goddess Laxmi, Vasco Di Gama etc.This way author uses lots of symbol in his work.

● Museum of Innocence :-

                The Title represents the modern world.But the reality is different .The story is totally contrasted with the title.The story is about villagers.There is one letter from Istanbul pass to the village.In this letter Istanbul is asking for innocent thing for the new ' Museum of innocence '. All villagers become curious that which innocent thing they will send to Istanbul. After so many discussion when they didn't get answer from anyone than they called old Kadvi Doshi.

             She spoke only satiric language That's why here her name used as a symbol.After so many thinking she find solution and send fruit of Banayan Tree.

            According to Kadvi Doshi,  from many years people used to sit under Banayan tree and it still standing there without any complaint and giving shadow to other.These all reasons which seems silly to us but carries deeper meaning.

           In this way two short stories can be interpreted in many ways as possible. We also remember that author believe in Back to nature.And that's why his setting of the stories are village side.


Translation :-

            After the session of short stories we have Translation session in which Vishal Sir spoke about the job opportunities in the field of Translation. Translation is very tough as well as great work.We had done one task of translating phrase.

           In this way we get knowledge about how to write short stories and also about translation.

He was the son of a poor shoemaker, but through the kindness of a patron was educated at the town grammar school and then at Cambridge. When he came to London, his soul was surging with the ideals of the Renaissance, which later found expression in Faustus ,the scholar longing for unlimited knowledge and for power to grasp the universe.                            In 1587,when but twenty

Respected sir,            To evaluate my assignment click here  Name:-Heerva Bhatt Course :-M.A. (sem.1) Paper no.:- 3(Literary theory and                         Criticism ) Roll no.:- 14 Email Id :-heervabhatt96@gmail.com  Submitted to :-Smt.S.B.Gardi Department of English, Bhavnagar.  Introduction :-                            Tragedy  (Greek word)is a former of drama based on human suffering that invokes an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in audiences. While many cultures have developed forms that provoke this paradoxical response, the term tragedy often refers to a specific tradition of drama that has played a unique and important role historically in the self-definition of Western civilisation.That tradition has been multiple and discontinuous,yet the term has often been used to invoke a powerful effect of cultural identity and historical continuity - "The Greeks and the Elizabethans, in one cultural form;Hellens and Christians, in a common activity."

His works:- □ The Cow of the Barricades and other stories (1947) □   Kanthapura  (1938) □  The Serpent an the Rope (1960) □ The Cat and Shakespeare  (1965)                       Raja Rao'
