                                           Excel expression 2016

                                     It was fantastic experience to participate in Excel competition. it's good to know that Excel is one chemical company and inspite of that it takes deep interest in students personality development. it was like mini youth festival.so many competition were going on side by side. our Department has to send five students for each competition. there were so many competition like Debate, News reading, painting, mobile photography, group song, quiz, folk song etc.

                                    I have participated in two competition news reading and debate competition. News reading i like the most. because it was full of experience and enjoying. it was like real news you can see news reader in t.v. it's much more different when you read news in daily schedule and you read news before the camera. judges observe everything like dressing style, clarity of language and quality of voice, selection of the news, arrangement of news etc. it was like news reading interview for me. i really like to be news reader and it's my long cherished dream to be news reader. but unfortunately i failed in it. because i took it very lightly. i thought that it's not big deal to read news. but next time i will go with more preparation. and i will be succeeded.

                                   Next is debate competition. i think they have some another concept of the debate. it was like instant elocution. they invite each participant one by one. we have to speak for five or seven time. debate should not go like that. i have participated in debate for five times.we can get real charm of debate when we defeat someone with our logical arguments. they gave only one subject and it was quite interesting.
   
                                "Demonetization in India"

                                    Earlier i told my partner Budhiditya that this should be the topic of our debate. because at this time everyone talks about it, everyone discusses about it. this is the major matter in our India.  at the end i told Budhiditya that let me tell them what is the exact meaning of debate. but she told me that leave it then i didn't tell them. i spoke in favor of demonetization and my companion spoke in against demonetization.  i spoke for six minutes in Hindi.

                                  overall it was very nice experience to participates in both the competition. for that i would like to thank Barad sir for giving such a nice opportunity and also excel industries for organizing such good competitions.

Purpose :-

Thantavar paramasive kailasam was a playwright and prominent writer of Kannada literature. Born on 29 July, 1886 in Mysore. His contribution to Kannada theatrical comedy earned him the title "the father of humorous plays" and later he was also called "kannadakke obbane Kailasam" meaning one and only kailasam for Kannada.

• T.P. kailasam is famous for his many popular plays such as :
• Fulfillment
• Purpose
• The Brahmin's curse

"Purpose" is one of the most famous plays by kailasam. The origin of the play is Mahabharata by ved vyas. Writer pick up the characters from Mahabharata and tried to put his own ideas and imagination.

In our great epic Arjuna is the hero and great archer. But T.P. Kailasam deconstruct the character of Arjuna and made him villain. Eklavya is the protogonist of the play. He is the protector of the nature and he has the very good quality of disciple and archer.

T.P. Kailasam portrays the subaltern society in this play. He puts the character of Eklavya into center and Arjuna at the periphery. He gives the voice to Eklavya a low cast Nishadda boy. subaltern doesn't have the voice. Here we find caste conflict between Arjuna and Eklavya.

"The purpose" is a mythical play which shows many facts like religion, evil customs, ancient time of India. According to Nietzsche's prospective every writer has their own perspective to look towards the history and mythology.

In pre independent era there were many social evil custom which required to cleanse such as caste system, child marriage and sati pratha. T.P. Kailasam has dealt with the caste conflict of the society of his time. For this purpose he attempted to bring into limelight marginalized characters such as Eklavya and Karna. The story is based on Adiparva from the Mahabharata. The writer shows that even marginalized character such as Eklavya can be equal or superior from high caste Arjuna in Archery.

The story moves around Eklavya and Arjuna and their purpose behind learning archery. Both learn archery from the great Dronacharya. But only the sons of King can learn from the great guru as Eklavya belongs to low cast Nishadda boy, he is not able to learn archery from Dronacharya.

Eklavya's purpose is pure and selfless behind learning archery while Arjuna's purpose is self centered as he wants to become great archer in the world. Drona is a skilled teacher renown through out the land for his wisdom and skill. Arjuna is a prince of a great kingdom. Eklavya is a tribal boy from a relatively far away area.

One day as Drona is training Arjuna, Eklavya comes out of the forest and observes them from a distance. When Drona looks less busy Eklavya approaches him and asks for permission to learn archery. Drona in fact wholeheartedly wishes to help him to Fulfill his goal.

Eklavya is the prince of his caste and lives in the center of his a great forest. Near his house there are many fawns that him and his mother care for and occasionally feed. He protects that fawns. It is for this purpose that he wishes to mastery the skill of archery.

Drona is utterly wooed by the boy's selflessness. But he is bounded by his vow that he will make the Arjuna the greatest archer of the world for this reason He could not teach Eklavya.

Kailasam has depicted Arjuna as bad fellow who gets into a small fight with Eklavya and insults his caste telling him that he is low born and hence, unable to ever compete with somebody of his own level. Very cleverly Eklavya replies that :

"According to you the only thing that one has to be proud of in being an Aryas, is that one is not a Nishadda, if then there were no Nishadda, at all in this world you poor Aryans would have nothing to be proud of in being born as Aryas ?"

It shows the logical power and Sharpness of the mind of Eklavya. Eklavya tells to Arjuna that according to the guru there are only five requirements to become a good archer :

1 A perfect mastery of the ground work of archery.

2 A power to concentrate.

3 A deep and fervent love for one's guru.

4 The guru's whole hearted agreement to teach.

5 Assiduous practice.

Eklavya states that nowhere in these criteria is caste mentioned and hence he should have an equal opportunity. but honor bound guru has promised to Arjuna that he will make him the greatest archer hence guru has no choice to turn Eklavya away.

After rejected by guru Eklavya makes the holy statue of Drona and learn archery from that statue. After six years later, when Drona and Arjuna wandering through the forest suddenly they see a wolf screaming with at least 30 arrows through its skull. They both are surprising and recognize that he is Eklavya.

Eklavya tells to Dronacharya that he has learnt archery from him but Drona is still in dilemma that how can Eklavya learns more than he himself knows. To this Eklavya responds.

“A pupil can learn more from his guru than what the guru himself knows if the purpose of the pupil for learning is nobler than what the purpose of the Guru's was when he learnt from his guru"

Arjuna continues to taunting and insulting Drona. Eklavya can not see the insult of guru and he gives his thumb as gurudakshina and without thinking for a while Eklavya cuts of his right thumb.

After that Eklavya overcome with a sense of grief. He remembers his fawns, the purpose of his entire endeavor that he had just destroyed his purpose.

Eklavya was caught between loyalty to his guru (who had made his purpose possible) and a loyalty to his purpose (for which he needed the guru) it shows the moral conflict of Eklavya.

The title of the play is well chosen. As every character has different purpose for their action. The purpose of Eklavya is noble one as he wants to protect the fawns and animals of the jungle. While purpose of Arjuna, is selfish he wants to show off himself as great archer. He just wants to learn archery because he can win the wars.

Eklavya's loyalty to his guru is quite admirable but at the end he gained nothing as being loyal to his guru. So what does one really get out of bring loyal ? This is the mind of the viewer through out the play.

“In a desperate attempt to maintain his loyalty to the guru, he gave away what was not his to give, his purpose”

T.P. Kailasam put marginalized character into center and give voice to marginalized society. The writer portrays the character of Eklavya very effectively. Eklavya's moral conflict is the central attraction of the play. T.P. Kailasam deconstuct the character of Arjuna in such way that it gives the another charm to the play. We can find the origin of the play in our great epic Mahabharata but there is a difference between the characters of Mahabharata and there is difference between the purpose of the characters. and Eklavya becomes the real hero of the play.

• An Essay of Dramatic Poesy

by John Dryden

Johan Dryden (9 Aug. 1631-1700) was an English Poet, literary critic, translator and playwright after John Donne and john Milton, John Dryden was the greatest English poet of the 17th Century. After Shakespeare and Ben Johnson, he was the greatest playwright.

* About John Dryden

* Born on : 9 August, 1931 Ad

* Also listed in : Poets, playwrights

* Religion : Roman Catholic

* Nationality : British

* Father : Erasmus Dryden

* Mother : Mary Pickering

* Education : College, Cambridge, West minister School

University of Cambridge

He is the major voice of restoration age that's why this age is also known as the age of Dryden Dr. Samuel Johnson quote him as :

"The father of English criticism, who first taught us to determine upon principle the merit of composition".

Tn. 1668 he wrote his most important prose work of dramatic poesy, an essay the basis for his reputation as the father of English literary criticism.

• Five issues are under discussion in this essay :
• Ancients Vs moderns
• Unities
• French vs English Drama
• Separation of Tragedy and comedy vs tragicomedy.
• Appropriateness of rhyme in drama.
• Dryden wrote this essay as a dramatic dialogue with four character representing four critical positions. These four critical positions deal with five issues.
• Eugenius favors the moderns over the Ancients.
• Crites argues in favor of the ancient.
• Lisideius argues that French drama is superior to English drama.
• Neander favors the moderns but does not disparage, the ancients. He also favors English drama and has some critical things to say of French drama.

Dryden's definition of Drama :

"A just and lively image of human nature representing it's passion and humors and the change of fortune to which it is subject for the delight and instruction of mankind ?"

According to this definition drama is an image of human nature and that the image is 'just' as well as 'lively'.

By using the word 'Just' Dryden seems to imply that literature imitates human actions. For the imitation is not only 'just' it is also lively.

The definition of drama is divided into three parts.

The first part evokes that drama is the just and lively image of the human nature in the central part of the definition he wants to say that drama must be present the life as it is and it should have the essence of realism. He ended his definition with delight and instruction to the mankind.

There is no artificiality in the drama, it should be natural. There most be a passion and humors but as a part of life. Dryden uses the word delight and not pleasure. Pleasure may be sensual and delight is for the divine in the history of civilization there must be instruction but if it's come in delightful manner it creates land mark event.

• Violation of three unities :

Dryden's liberalism, his free critical disposition is best seen in his justification of the violation of three unities.

French plays sticks to follow three unities, but they are often betrayed into absurdities from which English plays are free.

The English disregard of unities enables them to present a more 'just' and lively picture of human nature in comparison to French playwrights for eg. Shakespear's plays are more just and lively image of human nature.

If the ends of drama are better fulfilled by a violation of the unities, then there is no harm in violating them.

The Ancient us. Moderns Controversy :

In his 'Essay on dramatic poesy' Dryden has argued moderately on behalf of modern the mouth of Eugenius one of the four debtors in the essay. The case for the ancients is presented by Crites.

Crites favors the ancients and says that :

The superiority ancients is established by the very fact that the modern simply imitate them.

Dramatists and poets after rewarded and encouraged according to their merits in ancient time but in modern times poets are neither suitably honored nor are rewarded. They criticize others, instead of themselves trying to do better.

Crites argues that ancients closely observed nature and faithfully represented her in their work.

According to ancients three unities are ought to be observed in every regular play.

Eugenius then replies to Crites and speaks in favor of the moderns :

In the very beginning he acknowledge that the moderns have learnt much from the ancients but after their several efforts they have added to what they have gained from them and as a result that they now excel them in many ways.

Ancients did not divided their play into acts. They wrote without any plan and when they could write a good play their success was more a matter of chance than of ability.

As far as the plot or fable of the ancients is concerned it locks originality.

Some of the writers of ancients did not follow the unity of place for eg. Terence and Eripidies.

There is too much of narration at the cost of action.

There is no poetic justice in their plays.

Their themes ofter arouse horror and Terror.

* Lisideius's view in favor of the French playwrights :

Lisideius spoke in favor of the French. He believes that the French are superior to the English for various reasons.

French playwright faithfully observed the rules of the ancients. The unities of time, place and action they observed so scrupulously.

The plots of French plays are based on some well known story, but they modifies their story by mixing truth with fiction. While modern dramatist do not modify and transfer their stories for dramatic purpose.

French do not burden play with too much plot they give attention to one single passion to depicts it well but The English more hurried from one passion to author and so fail to represent well any of them.

French play give equal value to every character. There is not even a single character who does not have some in the action.

Another fact in the English play is the representation of death on the stage. But according French plays death should better to be described or narrated rather than represented.

The French are also superior in their use of rhyme the English also use rhyme but generally their rhymed plays are badly writer.

* Neander Favors English Dram :

Neander favors English drama and has some critical things to say of French drama Neander remarks about French plays.

"They are indeed the beauties of a statue but not of a man."

Neander criticizes French drama, essentially for it's smallness. It's pursuit of only one plot without subplot, it's tendency to show too little action observations of the writers dearth of plot and narrowness of imagination are all qualities which render it inferior to English drama/

Dryden's Comparative criticism of Shakespeare and Ben Johnson :

Dryden says about Shakespeare :

"Had the largest and most comprehensive soul."

While Johnson was "The most learned and judicious writer which any theater ever had."

Ultimately Neander prefers Shakespeare as compared to Johnson:

Dryden comments on their respective merits :

"If I would compare him with Shakespeare, I must acknowledge him the more correct poet, but Shakespeare was the Homer, or father of our dramatic, poets Johnson was the Virgil, the pattern of elaborate writing, I admire him, but I love Shakespeare."

Controversy regarding use and avoidance of rhyme in drama.

Crites objects to rhyme in plays and says "since no man without premeditation speaks in rhyme neither ought he to do it on the stage."

"Rhyme is incapable of express the greatest thought naturally.

Crites argues that rhymes verse is unnatural so it should not in the drama in counter argument Neander advocates that rhymes should be there in drama because when we read literature it appears our sense of vision and sense of listening. So the rhyme words add true to the work Neander argues that is advisable to use musical language in rhymed one. He defines that rhyme is sugar quoted ornament which adds sweetness to the language. So its good to write in rhyme.

• To wind up :

Dryden displayed his ideas about the drama through his essay on dramatic poesy in which he has explained the different aspects of drama in the best way. In this way, Dryden's commitment to the neoclassical tradition is displayed.

5 Amelia.

* Henry Fielding as a writer of Tom Jones :

Fielding's eldest daughter died in 1742 and his wife in 1744 the death of his beloved wife was great shock for him. Yet during these sad years fielding was creating his comic masterpiece, "the history of Tom Jones" a foundling which appeared in 1749.

The plot of tom Jones is too complicated. It's basis is Tom alienation from his father squire allworthy and his beloved Sophia western and his reunion with them, after dangerous adventures in London. The writer presents the characters of mid 18th century. Henry fielding makes moral satire on society through this novel.

Tom Jones is comic epic by fielding. It was published on February 28, 1749. The novel is divided into 18 smaller books and it has gained immediate popularity despite intense criticism for its lowness.

Tom Jones is a picaresque novel. Fielding also mixes some Augustan elements. Such as the mock epic descriptions of morning or evening, several long tailed similes, and the fisticuffs, scene between molly seagrim and the villagers in the somerset church yard.

Henry fielding exploits the birth mystery of tom and he uses as many characters as possible in more than one role.

Tom Jones is generally regarded as Fielding's greatest book and as a very influential English novel.

The original or full title of the novel is :

"The history Tom Jones a Founding."

* The Plot of the novel :

The novel's events occupy eighteen books. Initially the kindly and wealthy squire allworthy and his sister Bridget are introduced in their wealthy estate in somerset. after returning from London Allworthy finds a baby on his bed. It is the child of servant. Jenny Jones but she refused to give the name of his father. Allworthy brings up that child and named him tom Jones. Bridget has one child name Blifil.

Tom grows into a vigorous and lusty yet honest and kind hearted youth. Tom is in love with a neighboring squire's lovely daughter Sophia Western. Tom has relationship with many women like molly seagrim, Mrs. waters, lady Bellaston.

Sophia's father is oppose to their love and he wants making Sophia marry the hypocritical master Blifil. But she refuses and tried to escape from her father's influence. Tom also starts his adventures across London. In London he makes relationship with two older women Mrs. Waters and lady Bellaston. and very nearly kills a man in a duel for which he is arrested.

At the end of the novel the secret of tom's birth revealed that Bridget is the real mother of tom. Hence he is the true nephew of squire allworthy. After finding Blifil's intrigues, allworthy decides to bestow the majority of his inheritance to tom and at the end tom and Sophia western marry.

We can consider the novel as a document for the history of the period. As title itself suggests :

"The history of tom Jones a founding:"

Through this novel fielding represents the society of 18th century. The novel is anti traditional writing by Henry fielding. It has a unconventional vision of virtue writer's aim is

"Representing good by displaying ridiculous."

He portrays morality through representation of immorality. Tom Jones is a story of vanity and human weakness.

The characters are full of vices except allworthy and tom Jones is the imperfect hero of the novel who has multiple illicit relationship with many women. Henry fielding depicts the monstrous romances, which arouses comedy and farce. This novel is a comic epic in a prose. writer has written grave philosophical comedy. The romance of tom and molly the way tom and Mrs. waters eat the food. It's very comic as if they make love by the means of food. we finds elements of humor with romance.

The novel is long narrative and it has a complex plot and also has ambiguous characters and relations the uncertainty of birth identity issue.

Blifil is the cunning and Hippocratic fellow who plans many intrigues against tom. Characters have pre marital and post marital affairs. Characters have sexual perversion and moral degradation. lust and greed is the central passion of all the characters.

We can read this novel as feminist view point as all the female characters like molly, Jenny Jones lady Bellaston are greedy and lusty. It was not tom but women who first initiate tom for physical relation ship.

After all this evil aspects writer gives the poetic justice to the novel as tom and Sophia get married.

Henry fielding proves himself as greatest novelist of 18th century by writing this novel. Very success fully he portrays the philosophy of life, reflection of society, social and moral satire, feminist discourse virtue vs vices romantic comedy, moral degradation element of realism etc.

“of Man’s First disobedience in Paradise lost”

Paradise lost is an epic poem in blank verse, by the 17^th century poet John Milton (1608-1674) . The First version published in 1667, A second edition Followed in 1674 arranged into twelve books it is considered by critics to be Milton’s major work, and it bet helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poet of his time.

The poem concerns Biblical story of the “Fall of Man” The temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen Angel Satan and their expulsion from the garden Eden. It has twelve book but here we mainly concerns with book no. 9 and In this particular book the major theme is “of man’s first disobedience.

Satan in the form of the serpent searches for the couple. He is delighted to fund eve alone. and very cleverly he gets her attention and be has flattering her beauty. Eve so beautiful that Satan loses his all the sense and stand before her as a foolish. he even forgets to his vision, that why he come at the eden garden.

Every writer has their own unique style in portraying the beauty of women some praises her physical beauty, while some describes the effect of beauty on other people and in this way they admire the beauty of woman. in paradise lost we find the effect of beauty of Eve on Satan. Eve is so beautiful that writer admire her beauty by saying that,

“ Fairest of creation, last and best of God's work”

Satan becomes delight to find Eve alone. Here we can read a feminist approach that 17^th century is the male dominant society. And Milton choses Eve instead of of Adam for disobeying God first. Because female is easily convinced by praising their beauty or by offering some gifts, rather than man. And Satan takes advantage of it. And begins flattering her beauty, grace and godliness.

Eve us amazed to see a creature of the Garden speak. Satan tells her in enticing language that he gained the gift of speech and intellect by eating the fruit of one of the tree in the garden. He flatters Eve by saying that eating the apple also made him seek her out in order to worship her beauty.

From the time of her creation when she looks into water and falls in love with her own reflection and Satan as the serpent will use this defect against her.

Eve is amazed by the power of the fruit. She curious to know which tree holds this fruit Eve follows Satan until he brings her to the tree of knowledge she recoils, telling him that this is the forbidden tree but Satan arguing that god actually God wants them to eat from the tree. Satan says that God forbids it only because he wants them to show their independence.

Eve is non seriously tempted. the flattery has made her desire to know more. She reasons that God claimed that eating foam this tree meant death, but then serpent ate, and not only does he still live, but can speed and think. God would have no reason to forbid the fruit unless it were powerful. Eve thinks and seeing it right before her eyes makes all of the warnings seem exaggerated. She reached for an apple plucks it from the tree and take a bite. the earth feels wounded and nature sigh in woe. for with this act human kind has fallen. This is the man’s first disobedience.

The first words of paradise lost state that the poem’s main theme will be Man’s first disobedience.’’ using this idea of obedience Milton forms the basis of his poem presenting two moral paths that one can take after disobedience the down ward spiral of increasing sin and degradation represented by Satan or the road to redemption, represented by Adam and Eve. throughout the poem Milton shows the obedience and disobedience by using various characters in his epic.
If we considered entire book of paradise lost, Then in book 1 we first learn of Satan’s disobedience to goes his subsequent fall from grace and banishment to hell. this is the man’s first disobedience”.

But here we mainly focus on book no. 9 in which we get the idea about Adam and eve and learn of God’s command they cannot eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge under penalty of death. This provides a means by which man can either obey or disobey the will of god. Also just as Adam and Eve must obey God, Eve feels that she must obey Adam as she was created from his rib and therefore is subject to his will.

of Man’s first disobedience and the fruit of that forbidden tree, whose mortal test brought death into the world and all our woe.

Eve was tempted by the serpent which flattered her into tasting the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Eve gave the fruit to Adam. Who was at first horrified but who in his love for eve also ate the fruit. just after eating the forbidden fruit the couple know lust for the first time.

Christ sentenced the serpent to be forever a hated enemy of mankind. He also announced punishment of Eve, her sorrow would be multiplied by the bearing of children and that she would be the servant of Adam to the end of time. here we can find a feminist reading that because o this disobedience women are still treat as a slave to Man, in patriarchal society. Christ said that Adam would eat bread only by toiling and sweating. This was the curse to man. But more important he lost God’s grace. As Christ announced the punishment Death and sin left the gates of hell to join their father Satan on earth.

God made great changes on earth. He replaced the eternal spring with the changing seasons; he created the violence and misery of storms, wind hail ice, floods and earthquakes he sentenced Adam and Eve to expulsion from Eden.

Metaphorically they fell from the original bliss of god’s grace to the present state of mortality . Man is noble by nature but he has free will and hence free to choose and capable of action. morally good or bad for which he alone is responsible.

The paradise in which Adam and Eve lived before eating the forbidden fruits was like a prison. It might have satisfied God, but it would have kept man spiritually undeveloped. So long as knowledge was withheld from man his obedience to god was meaningless.

What man lost by disobedience was only a state of innocence and ignorance. But now they are capable to find the paradise within himself. This could not be possible by paying homage to god in a state of ignorance in Eden’s paradise. Eve sins through weakness of reason where as Adam through weakness of will.

The fable or story of the epic is taken from the bible it is the simple and common story of the fall of Adam and Eve from the grace of God due to their disobedience if him. while Milton exaggerates the story by adding his imagination.

Milton begins paradise lost by saying that he will sing of Man’s first Disobedience so that can “assert eternal providence and Justify the ways of God paradise lost is recreation and has three parts:

1. disobedience
2. Eternal providence
3. Justification of God to Men

God, being God was by definition superior to every other thing in the universe and should always be obeyed in paradise lost god places one prohibition on Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge. The prohibition to not so much a matter of the fruit of the tree as it is obeying God’s ordinance. The proper running of the universe requires the obedience of inferiors to their superiors. By not obeying God’s grace, Adam and Eve bring calamity into their lives and the lives of all mankind.

When Eve eats the fruit one of her first thoughts is that the “Fruit may render me more equal” to which she quickly adds “for inferior who is free?” By disobeying God, Eve has instead lost paradise and brought sin and death into her world.

Finally Milton shows example after example of people who ignore the responsibilities they have and try to either raise themselves above God or disobey God’s Commands. The result is always the same destruction.
