JANE AUSTEN



"Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance."
                  
                Her works mainly highlights the dependence of women on marriage to secure social standings and economic security. From her works, we could clearly conclude that she was a feminist. Her heroines were special and the novels were mainly from the perspective of the heroine.

Jane Austen,the famous English writer or novelist was born on December 16, 1775. She mainly wrote romantic fiction and had a firm place as one of the most widely read English novelist.  Her realism, biting irony and social commentary as well as her acclaimed plots have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.

As a child she used to read a lot. Her family's support played an important role in her journey. Her parents, George Austen and Cassandra were members of substantial gentry family. Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon rectory and publicly christened on 5 April 1776. Though she and her sister were sent for education, both were called back as they had no money to teach them. Jane acquired the remainder of her education through reading books,guided by her father and brothers. She had six brothers. Her family was quite big.

Austen started writing small poems and stories by 1787. She had collected them and had bound into a notebook which is now known as Juvenilia, containing pieces originally written between 1787 and 1793. Its believed that she had written her full length novel by 1790.

Its for damn sure that Jane's works had clearly helped English language in its journey to become what it is now. School curriculum include Jane's novels to make students understand the then prevailing trend, style of writing and language.

Her famous works include..

Novels
Sense and Sensibility (1811)

Emma (1815)

    She has also got some unfinished works. Works she did during her childhood and teenage were published under two volumes of Juvenilia.

POPE FRANCIS










" A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just."

Can any ruler can live as a common man..? Whether such a man would dare to use public transport and walk miles to reach his destination..? Whether he would use torn cloths and mingle with people around him, being one among them..? Yes, very few like Pope Francis would.
Can you imagine a Pope very active in all social medias- a pope who uses Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.. Undoubtedly I say he has redefined the image of a 'Pope'- being common in common.
Yes his live is indeed message for all.


I would brief him for those who don't know him well.... The Pope Francis or Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His ordination as a priest was in 1969 and became Argentina's provincial superior of the Society of Jesus. He became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was created a Cardinal in 2001 by Pope John Paul II. And now the reigning Pope of Catholic Church and the absolute sovereign of the Vatican City State...

I would also share one event that inspired me a lot. Being the sovereign of Rome, he asked his security officer guarding him at the door to sit down and take rest. Though the officer refused the Pope ordered and gave him a cup of coffee which the Pope made himself. 

Show Kindness.... Spread Love....

Steve jobs




"Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works."

 It was much easier this time to select the person of the day.. Who else other than the most brilliant businessman-cum-engineer deserves to be the one. He revolutionize the way we learn, the way we entertain or even the way we live. Apple was no more a fruit.. 'I pad' and 'I pod' became synonyms of tablets and music players.. 'I phone' became the most trusted mobile phone.. To put it simply, Steve Jobs
 Apple Inc. re mold the world, I would say..........

Steve Jobs
 was born in San Francisco on February 24th of 1955. He was given up for adoption as soon as he was born. Later he was adopted an Armenian American couples(Jobs couples). His non-biological parents were poor which lead Jobs to quit his college education. During his early life he struggled a lot. After continuous tenacious effort he managed to built the very first model of the Macintosh. Everything thing started from a garage. From a garage,started the now most valuable Inc. in the world.

He taught us how to fight for what you love. With his life he set an example for achieving your goal. He taught us to "Stay Hungry and Stay Foolish". Anyone could advice.. But Jobs showed us how to win a match.


His death was a great lost.. People like him was and will always be an inspiration to youth like us.
