Welcome to my academic blog, a curated space where literature, theory, and critical thinking meet. As a postgraduate student of English at Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University, I share detailed notes, assignments, presentations, and reflections on topics ranging from war poetry and modern drama to deconstruction and postmodernism. This platform serves as both a personal archive and a resource for fellow literature enthusiasts.
Teacher’s Day is a moment of gratitude, reflection, and celebration—a day when students honor the invaluable role of teachers in shaping minds and nurturing futures. At M.K. Bhavnagar University, we, the students of the Department of English, are celebrating this day virtually with creativity, scholarship, and heartfelt appreciation.
This year, I (Rutvi Pal) have curated a special digital offering that blends literature, performance, and interactive learning to mark the occasion.
Video Presentation: Myth, Performance, and Female Agency in Naga-Mandala
Grish Karnad’s Naga-Mandala is not just a play—it is a tapestry of myth, folklore, and feminist critique. To highlight its richness, I have prepared a short video presentation that explores how Karnad employs performance and storytelling to question patriarchal structures and give voice to female agency.
SlideShare Presentation: Myth, Performance, and Female Agency in Naga-Mandala
To make the content even more accessible, I have also uploaded my presentation slides on SlideShare. This allows viewers to browse through key insights, arguments, and visual highlights of the topic at their own pace.
Learning becomes more engaging when it is participatory. To test your knowledge and make the experience more fun, I have designed a quiz on Naga-Mandala. Upon completion, participants will receive an e-certificate as a token of appreciation for their learning spirit.
Beyond watching and testing, true learning grows through dialogue and reflection. To extend this celebration into a global classroom, I have also designed a Ted-Ed lesson. It invites participants to engage in deeper reflection, share perspectives, and carry forward meaningful conversations on literature and society.
Teacher’s Day is not only about words of appreciation—it is about embodying the values that teachers instill in us: curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity. By engaging with literature, discussion, and interactive learning, we pay tribute to our teachers in the best way possible.
Your participation—watching the video, attempting the quiz, exploring the SlideShare presentation, and joining the Ted-Ed discussion—will make this celebration more meaningful. Together, let us celebrate Teacher’s Day 2025 as a festival of knowledge and gratitude.
