One of the renowned playwrights of Odisha, Shankar Prasad Tripathy's Nabakalebara is a historical play. It's so vast that all other cultures can confluence in its perennial streams of human values. Its universality and all-embracing approach appeal to people worldwide forever. 'Why we celebrate Nabakalebar' is foregrounded and well-substantiated thematically in the play. The ideas mapped in this work of art can be critically analyzed as follows: (1) the human desire for territorial expansion as in the character of Akbar, the Great and Mukunda Deva, to some extent because of his alliance with Rudranarayan of Bhurishrestha of the 'Land of Banga' to fight against Suleiman Karrani, the King of 'Gouda Land' (2) The primal instinct of love obliterating social boundaries persists between Kalapahada, commander-in-Chief of the combined force of the King of Kalinga and Bhurishrestha and Gulnaz, the daughter of Suleiman Karrani, of 'Land of Gouda' (3) the traumatic experiences of the protagonist lacking spiritual bliss, after fulfilling his love-marriage with Gulnaz and his subsequent revengeful acts against the deities and the people of Odisha, (4) Reinstallation of Brahmas in the idols and their mounting on the bejewelled throne (Ratnasinghashana) at the Jagannatha Temple, Puri reaffirms and rejuvenates faith in the people again that Brahma (Supreme Soul) is One and only One, eternal and can't be destroyed by anybody and anything in the material world. That's why, Kalapahada, at last broke apart, while trying to burn in fire. Jagannatha is the root cause of everything happening in the world. His blessing helps the people move forward in day-to-day life.The Nabakalebara festival is deeply rooted in the psyches of the people who love the Jagannatha cult. It's similar to the demise and rebirth of life in all religions of the world. It happens every twelve years. Anything that comes out of this earth is subject to decay and change. The external bodily forms of the idols are buried under the soil in Koilibaikuntha, Puri, whereas the Brahma remains intact and installed again in the newly made wooden idols. There is one and only one Brahma in the world. That can't be drowned in water, burnt in fire; that can't be severed or split and will remain unaltered for ages. Once the idols are half-burnt and thrown into the sea, they can't be worshipped. The new idols (Darubrahmas) are installed and mounted on the (Ratnasinghasana) bejewelled throne at Jagannatha Temple, Puri. Selection of Darus as per the order of Goddess Mangala, and its felling after chanting the mantras, and performing Yajna, transferring the Darus loaded on bullock carts to Jagannatha Temple, Puri, and replacing older idols by the newer ones, and lastly the installing Brahmas in the newer Darus are the processes related to Nabakalebara ceremony.

Welcome to the "Dictionary of Vernacular Swahili Plant Names," a comprehensive resource designed to bridge the gap between the rich linguistic heritage of Swahili and the scientific world of botany. This dictionary serves as a valuable tool for researchers, students, educators, horticulturists, conservationists, and anyone interested in the flora of East Africa and beyond.The Swahili language, with its deep historical roots and widespread usage across East Africa, is a cultural treasure that reflects the diverse influences of African, Arabic, Persian, and European languages. In this region, plants play a crucial role in everyday life, not just as sources of food, medicine, and material, but also as integral elements of cultural practices and traditional knowledge. The names given to these plants in Swahili are often imbued with meanings and stories that offer insights into the local culture, history, and environment.Recognizing the importance of preserving this linguistic and botanical heritage, this dictionary aims to catalogue the vernacular Swahili names of plants and provide their corresponding scientific names. By doing so, we facilitate a dialogue between traditional knowledge and scientific understanding, fostering a deeper appreciation of the natural world and its cultural significance.Each entry in this dictionary includes the vernacular Swahili name, the botanical name. The botanical names are based on the latest taxonomic classifications to ensure accuracy and relevance.We have taken great care to consult with linguists, botanists, and local communities to compile and verify the information presented in this dictionary. Our goal is to create a reliable and user-friendly reference that respects and celebrates the linguistic diversity of Swahili-speaking regions while contributing to the global body of botanical knowledge.As you explore the pages of this dictionary, we hope you will not only gain a greater understanding of the plants that surround us but also develop an appreciation for the rich linguistic tapestry that describes them. May this dictionary serve as a bridge between languages, cultures, and disciplines, fostering a shared respect for the natural world and its invaluable diversity.

"In a series of compressed, dynamic prose pieces, Samatar blends letters from her friend with notes on literature, turning to âEdouard Glissant to study the necessary opacity of identity, to Theresa Hak Kyung Cha for a model of literary kinship, and to a variety of others, including Clarice Lispector, Maurice Blanchot, and Rainer Maria Rilke, for insights on the experience and practice of writing. In so doing, Samatar addresses a number of questions about the writing life: Why does publishing feel like the opposite of writing? How can a Black woman navigate interviews and writing conferences without being reduced to a symbol? Are writers located in their biographies or in their texts? And above all, how can the next book be written?"--

"An exploration of the rejected drafts and abandoned projects of famous authors that dispels the myth of the creative genius and offers lessons for aspiring writers based on these setbacks and missteps"--

"Based on real-world case studies, this book discusses the role of cities in constructing notions of belonging that are based on linguistic pluralism, how academics can support such processes, and the limitations they face. It is essential reading for anyone concerned about protecting linguistic and cultural pluralism in our society"--

Viola didn't survive the shipwreck.This is what happens to Shakespeare's original text of TWELFTH NIGHT when its heroine, its 'beating heart,' is marauding through it as a ZOMBIE.WARNING: Let all who read this know that Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is a masterful comedy from the greatest English playwright of all time, perhaps Shakespeare's finest comedy, which Twelfth Night of the Living Dead does not intend to modernize or (belches) improve. However,When it strikes you that the original text can and does survive as one-by-one its characters are turning into zombies... And when it becomes clear that the sheer self-involvement of some characters transcends all need for earthly dialogue... And when one of the characters has been famously threatening revenge for more than 400 years... ...it seems like a worthwhile endeavor to massacre (not just cut) Shakespeare's text in order to see the silly creature-feature 'show within the show.'

This book is a translation of all the award-winning essays written by Japanese junior high school students and the editor's commentaries that appeared in the 60th Anniversary Collection of Okayamakko (literally Okayama children), published by the Okayama Teachers' Union and the Editorial Committee of Okayamakko in 2012.In their essays, children examine the various aspects of their families, friends, the natural world, and the society that surrounds them with a straightforward gaze and capture these elements with honesty and rich sensibility. The purpose of this book is to share these diverse voices of Japanese children with the world and to promote international understanding of Japan. The real picture of Japan cannot be seen only from its major industries, popular tourist attractions, and famous cultural assets. The lives of ordinary children living in Okayama, a region of Japan, are also a life-sized version of real Japan.We hope that both children and the young at heart will enjoy reading this book, which is the fruit of more than half a century of steady education in composition as a form of human education.
