The Real Socialists

If you here the word transgender, you will automatically start to laugh. We start to tease them and hurt them. I am seeing many people who are acting like this. There no inequality between genders. All are equal in God's creation. Till now many people are believing that there are only two genders. They are forgetting the third gender.


The third gender is also called TRANSGENDER. Some people thought that they are new comers. This is the wrong fact. They are living among us from ancient time. They doesn't get separate identity even though they have talent. They are only recognized as beggars, prostitutes etc. regarding Indian country. Minimal numbers of them are only surviving today.


But now there is a sun rise in their life. Indian government started to concentrate on this third gender.
It starts to give specific importance in all fields now a days. They started to show their faces on many professionals such as media , call centers , linguistics ,  journalism etc. They are active participants in all social activities now a days. They are proving that they are humans also. If you wanna help them, just treat them as human being.

Russian Formalism - Basics

The Moscow Linguistic circle 1920's and 1930's is forefront of formalist criticism.

Some of them are Boris, Vitor Shklovsky, Roman Jackobson and Juri Tynayanov. Their main principles are as follows:

1. Poetry was a special function of language.

2. Literary analysis could be accurate.

3. It was possible to discover the underlying formulae or structures of literary texts by a study of its devices.

Shklovsky - De familiarization:

It is the process of looking ordinary things and familiar objects as different perspectives by the use of language.

The Prague school of structuralists:

Roman Jackobson - a Russian immigrant, was one of the central figures. The central tencent of the Prague School is 'language is a coherent system fulfilling the range of functions in society'

Roman Jackobson:

Selection and Combination are the two ways for language operation. His model is..

Referential (context)

Emotive (Addresser)    Poetic (message)     Conatative (Addresse) 

Phatic (contact)        

Meta lingual (code)  

SEMIOTICS....

Porn Addiction

 It is not awkward topic. It is needed topic to discuss particularly for parents who had teens.

PORN ADDICTION is the latest phrase which is frequently known by all teens. It means to addict for porn pictures and movies. In certain stage they are unable to control watching porn sites. They are enjoying themselves with porn pictures and images. It leads to psychological problems and severe impact on one child’s life. This is the highest peak position in porn addiction stage.

Addict to porn does not depend on gender, age etc. It is the most common to all. Most of the people overcome it and some of the people are can’t. it affects their whole life. It is hard to find porn addicted people because they are looking as normal and some of them are socially flexible. They are not making anything dangerous things to people or other children. The main reason for porn addiction is suffered sexually by some other believing person in childhood.

At first they are unable to identify their problem. Slowly they started to watch movies and images. They log on to many porn sites and became addicted. There is chance to make a big gap between them and social surroundings. There may chance to attain gap with their relationships.

Symptoms:

1. They are always sitting near in front of computers. (for sites and chatting)

2. They became so nervous even in simple matters.

3. They start to quarrel with parents if they get disturbed by them.

4. They will get pleasure by showing organs to others. (Exhibitionism)

5. Health problems.

How to Overcome:

1. Keep busy always. There must not be anytime to thing about porn and dating sites.

2. Identify your separate skills and develop yourself.

3. Don’t be alone. Spend time with your friends and parents.

4. Give value to the relationships.

5. Give value to the opposite genders.

6. Spirituality is the better way to attain peace in mind.

7. By helping others.

            If you try to follow those things you can be a survivor. Another best solution is to contact psychologist in your city. He will give better solution for this common problem. No need to fear about this. This is the common for all humans. Some survives and some fell.

ALL THE BEST DUDES…..

Ferdinand De Saussure - Litearary theory Basics

Ferdinand de Saussure introduced terms called LANGUE and PAROLE.

          Langue – set of rules in language

          Parole – is everyday speech.

Saussure’s relational theory of language:

1.                          Words existed in relation to other words

2.                         The meaning of each word was dependent upon the meaning of other words.

His principal regarding language:

         Arbitrariness: word connections by conventions

        Rationality: word makes sense to us

        Systematically: the structure of language system ensures that we recognize difference.

Break-up (Poem for Youths)

He knows this will not work;

She knows this will not work;

He is in state of condition to get work

But they work on each other.

By holding hands,

By holding mouth twister,

So our Earth causes real twister.

Parents believe him and her;

They ne’er care.

The intangible force made them

To made fun.

This is the life’s pun…

One who crosses this pun?

Enjoy real fun.

There are many examples

Sacrifice all luxuries of love.

Be an example for one time

Sacrifice your lust really

For parents, teacher, friends.

If you follow for onetime,

You always safe for all time.

Daughter's Letter to her Mother

'Where there is a will there is a way"...
Yes, You are my Will.. And wherever you are, there is a way for me!

When I was crying, u made me giggle...
When I fell down as a toddler, you gave your hands to help me out...

When I did not do my homeworks and slept off early, you did them burning your midnight oil for years together...

When I wanted to learn driving a motorcycle, you were the only one ready to trust my driving and sat behind me...

When I wanted to cry, you let yourself to be ever-audible ears...
When I wanted to celebrate, you became the joy...

When I was starving, you sacrificed your share of food saying you did not feel hungry!

Yes, You are my Way, extending and bending for my needs, leaving away your actual track!

There can never be another person like you...

The best mother ever!

P.S.: I Kindly apologize for eavesdropping you all those months I was in your womb!

Once I was walked with her for 1000 meters
It seemed to be 10 meters..

Not only in kitchen.

THANKS TO READER's DIGEST

A smart foolish generation

In India the trending topic is net neutrality. There are many countries already solved this issue but in India it is just started. There are bigger than net neutrality to be discussed. Privacy of an individual person becomes a big question mark. Everyone becomes part of social network in this techno era. Most of the world population involves in any one of the social networks such as Facebook, twitter, whats app, BBM etc. So what is their status(social networks).

In fact they are stealing our privacy. We are spying by someone. They can go through all our activities via Facebook, whats app, twitter etc. For example you are going to sign in Whats app or Facebook what re the required information? Mobile number, e-mail address sometimes location. In mobile there is an option called location to protection from theft.  By Hidden it is  a kind of spying work. Suppose if we msg personally on whats app  the location option in our mobile shows what are we doing. In one point of view it seems good to spot illegal issues and there is also chance for misusing.

The real incident: Adult chat is becomes common in now a days. A girl is doing adult chat and decides to send her naked picture to her boyfriend. She takes selfie but accidentally it send to one of the group she has in whats app(a mouth talk). From this incident we come to conclude be careful during using techno gadgets. Main thing is to avoid snap sharing in social networks. It may spoil one’s future.

TECHNO BECOMES SMART;BUT WE?????? Think it. Don’t misuse
