Memoir: Anne with an E in Me

I am a girl who loves to imagine,  I am so obsessed with escaping the reality that I drown myself in dreams of many stories.  I dilly and dally all day long, dreaming and imagining myself in scenarios that makes me feel better and less trapped in reality. And perhaps... that's exactly why I love the series, "Anne with an E."  Watching this series felt like I'm an omniscient reader living through the protagonist character Anne Shirley Cuthbert ,  A girl so in love with literature and the way words work.  The way this world works makes my mind wander in the clutter of curiosity, and just like me Anne was filled with curiosity and love for the world around her so much, that I felt so connected to the character.  The character Anne, chose to escape the hellish reality, with the wondrous worlds she crafted within her mind, she was shamed and bullied for it initially. Strangely enough I was actually comforted by seeing Anne getting accepted into the world and lo...

Do you know about Toru Dutt and Her Casuarina Tree?

Image
Hello, my dearest readers!  In this blog I’d like to share with you about Toru Dutt , a remarkable Indian writer, poet, and translator.  Toru Dutt [1856 - 1877] Born in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1856, she was a literary prodigy who sadly passed away at the young age of 21, 1877. Despite her short life, her contributions to Indian literature written in English are considered profoundly important. She was a true multilingual talent, fluent in Bengali, English, and French, and she often translated works between these languages.  Some of her key works include:  A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields (a collection of her translations of French poems) and her unfinished novel, Bian ca, or The Young Spanish Maiden . Among her many beautiful creations, two of my absolute favorites that I've had the pleasure of reading are " The Lotus " and, of course, " Our Casuarina Tree ." While both poems hold a special place in my heart, today, I’ll take you with me to delve into the cap...
