The program was graced by the auspi- cious presence of the Chief Guest Sunil Jain, the Ambassador of India to Kuwait. The other notable personages present for the august event were the Chairman of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Middle East, N K Ramachandran Menon, the Principal of IES, Vice Principals and the Supervisor Management. The magnificent event unfurled with the unveiling of the new name of the school library, Dr Ambedkar Library and the inscription of the preamble of the constitution of India at the entrance of the library by the Chief Guest. The other major events of the day com- menced auspiciously in the auditorium with the recitation of a verse from the Holy Quran which was followed by the rendition of the Kuwait National Anthem, and the Hindi prayer by the minstrels of the school choir. The lighting of the ceremonial lamp was conjointly per- formed by the chief guest, chairman, principal, vice principals and the librarians. The proud gathering was welcomed by the principal, T Premkumar. The floral bouquet of love and respect was extended to the Chief Guest and the principal thanked the ambassador for accept- ing the invitation though at a very short notice. While welcoming, the principal enlightened the gathering about the main purpose of cele- brating the 125th Birth Anniversary of Dr Ambedkar, and its relevance in the present time. The icing on the cake of the day was the patriotic song rendered by the school choir which left the audience spellbound. Lianna Maria Joseph of 8C delivered a speech on Dr Ambedkar and his contribu- tions to the country. The Chief Guest unveiled the portrait of Dr Ambedkar amidst thunderous applause, a glowing tribute to the Builder of the Modern India. It was indeed a learning environment for the students of grades seven and eight of IES, the key audience of the program, and they essentially imbibed the thoughts and principles of Dr Ambedkar, the First Indian to pursue a Doctorate degree in Economics. A wunderkind of IES, CBSE I stream Sambav Jain (Grade 7), brightened up the audience and won plaudits by reciting a poem on Dr Ambedkar. A classical dance performance by the budding artists of the primary section of IES further enlivened the audience. The multi- farious events added entertainment and luster to the whole program. The Chief Guest, Sunil Jain, while addressing the audience, expressed his delight and pride in being a part of such a celebration, and consid- ered it as a great opportunity to meet the young minds. He said that Dr Ambedkar, was the Epitome of Equality and Social Justice, who took the bull by its horns to be successful in his life. Jain stressed upon the challenges to be taken by the youth of the nation, and the key role they had to play to see their country in its best shape. He said, “Only mind can break all barriers in terms of speed.... speed of thinking is faster than the speed of sound.....As students of the com- ing generation you should overcome all the barriers with your deter- mined minds and thinking power”. N K Ramachandran Menon, the Chairman, Bhavans Middle East and the Principal, T Premkumar presented the Chief Guest a memento as a token of gratitude and respect of the Bhavans fraternity. Suresh V Balakrishnan the event coordinator and Vice Principal, CBSEi pro- posed the vote of thanks. Meenakshi Nayyar, the HoD of Social Science, was the emcee of the program.

  • Portrayal of Glorification of Motherhood and Its Social Relevance in the Film Kalimannu
    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 2.24 (IIJIF) Portrayal of Glorification of Motherhood and its Social Relevance in the Film Kalimannu Sandra Maria Kuriakose 1 MA English Christ University, Bengaluru The present paper studies the Malayalam Film Kalimannu, directed by Blessy Thomas. The paper focusses on the theme of motherhood also portrays its glorification and also the contradictions in the film. The paper claims that there are flaws that happens in the real intention of the movie, due to the various contradictions and conflict regarding the issue of delivery and pregnancy of the protagonist. The study intends to analyze how socially relevant movies affect the existing moral consciousness of the society. The major relevance of the movie is that it is for the first time in the Indian film industry, that the original delivery scene of an actress is shown. Thus the paper concludes that even though the movie aimed to make a change in the perception of the society towards the concept of motherhood, it lacked the efficiency to convey the real intention of the movie, which created misconceptions in the society. Key words: Kalimannu, motherhood, social morality, delivery, pregnancy.
