The genesis of my intellectual and humanitarian relation with India (the second qualification is of later date) dates back to my visit to Gujarat in 2010 January and 2010 November. Before the date, I was a tourist most probably. Since then I have been in a frequent touch with the scholars in India. The latest proof of it is an invitation to Osmania University, Hyderabad. I think writing more on

"The place is really magnetic; so, you will be in Gujrat again". The sentence of which I was 'an another end' reverberates in my mind almost a year later in Baroda. The purpose this time is different: primarily, it is for research and cultural understanding. It is a time when many people are in festive mood. The festival, Tihar in Nepal, thus sounds and smells at my back and compelsme to

AbstractThe paper argues for the use of collage, an art created through three basic principles – segmentation, composition and suture – in creative writing. Segmentation is an act of wrenching from sources based on the interest and limitations of the artists; composition is an act of pasting wrenched materials either as wrenched or with modifications in the order the artist desires; and suture is

There has been a very significant proliferation of literature regarding the use of technology in teaching (Dede, Allen, Muthukumar). Mostly, these writings unequivocally accept technology as the most essential part in teaching, if not a panacea for every problem that exists in teaching. In a sense, a tendency to emphasize on inevitable role of technology in pedagogy to the extent of obliterating

After my participation in the first international conference held in Haifa (Israel), as a part of my plan for 2009/10, I was searching for another one. The hunt however was not meant for mere second participation - I was also implementing the insight from the conference along with my desire to present paper in another conference. The formative days for the conference began with my correspondence

Media, as universally is accepted, has potential to transform society. Having known about a program that would address this issue, I applied and competed to participate in an international workshop on Media Strategies for Social Change. Finally I got selected among 26 participants from around the world: thanks to the Embassy of Israel, especially the Cultural and Information officer Ms. Bandita

Dear Undergraduate Media Studies Students,As per your request, I have posted some questions. The questions, however, do not cover the entire portion discussed in the class. Moreover, they are meant to help you prepare yourself for viva. 1. What is PR? Why is it important in the present scenario in the countries like Nepal?2. Define the term 'the universe of PR'. Do you agree with Lesley's model

This paper examines lately developed phenomena of virtual space; more particularly it concentrates on cyberspace. In other words, it offers some preliminary thoughts and observations on (self) representation in cyberspace and makes an attempt to reveal their contemporary sociological importance. The hypothesis is cyberspace is one of the most powerful alternatives as social loci for the

In this paper, I investigate the issue of English mixing in the discourse of Nepalese television commercials. More specifically, based on qualitative data taken from a total of four hours of Nepali TV commercials broadcasted on the major Nepali television stations – Avenues Television and Kantipur Television from 7am to 9am and 7pm to 9pm since 1 July to 1 October 2009, I examine the motivations

Published in 2005, Shalimar the Clown by Salman Rushdie is made up of two interlocking narratives: one a love story in a beautiful setting, the other an assassination of the American ambassador in brutal manner. Set before “the catastrophic consequences of British India’s partition start to become clear” (Pitkin 258), the first story depicts Kashmir as a paradise with, multicultural, multi-faith

Associated with the issue of ‘identity reconstruction’, ‘going back to root’ is one of the most common themes in postcolonial spaces. Many writers and critics in these spaces, especially those beginning from the decadence of British Empire, have produced writings of great fame on the theme. The concern of both the writers and critics about going back to root has thus resulted into a large corpus

The question whether any literature can provide a paradigm to induct about the characteristics of the age in which it is based has been the subject of an intense and long-running debate. Two broad schools of thought exist to address this issue. One, mostly Marxists and neo-historicists responds in the affirmative; they claim that fictions largely reflect socio economic and political reality of

The debate over ‘what is postmodernism?’ has resulted into numerous definitions. Be it negative appraisal or positive evaluation, the lexicon is still in vogue in academia. The notion of postmodernism as, “cultural logic of late capitalism”(Jameson), “end of grand-narratives”(Lyotard), “cause for the unfinished project of modernity” (Habermas), to mention some are much debated definitions.

Feminism, as a movement committed at minimal to gender equality, ventures at its highest level to dismantle not only patriarchal power relationship but also epistemological construction of the male. Assessing male epistemology as male ideology and thus an exercise of male hegemony, feminists suggest that women should generate “a capacity for a kind of writing and thinking that is different from

If you had a broken leg, you would go to a hospital immediately. There would be no hesitation, and no consideration about what others would "think." … But what if a stigma was attached to having a broken leg? Then what?

Abstract of Thesis Submitted to TU Central DepartmentTribhuvan University, 2005Collage technique as we generally understand is a sole rubric of painting; and thus we deny its possibility in other forms of art. This however is not the case –collage has become a dominant mode in writing also. Despite this fact, we still emphasize on the catch-words like creativity, naivety and condemn any
