     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines.

In other words, humanity should be our race and love should be the religion. How digital media played a role? The gruesome death of Trayvon Martin a 17 year old African American who was shot in Sanford, Florida by George Zimmerman wh...

Feminism: The Way Of Being

  A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. Gloria Steinem. Feminism not a one way concept, a wide spectrum…       Feminism – an eight-letter word which has shaped the beliefs of all of the human-kind, which has kept the connotation of ‘feminism’ as the advocacy of women’s rights the grounds of the equality of the sexes. Through this piece, I’d like to share my notion about this sentiment, seeking to establish parallel ‘hope’, ‘freedom’, ‘space’, ‘contingency’ and ‘cut’ through a male prospect. The penchant wave formally began in 1848, where about three hundred men and women rallied about for the cause of equality for women. The socio-historical oppression was born when contradiction was seen as the antagonism between both of these sexes on the basis of biological differences, being compared to men, it was believed that women were at a biological disadvantage, as the reproductive function of a woman was considered as a ...
