ABSTRACT

Architecture schools in various parts of India have multiple subjects, each involving multiple assignments for students. Seldom do students understand inter-relation between various subjects, though assignments can be lengthy and time consuming. Combining assignments of various subjects is hardly attempted by Schools of Architecture. An experiment to combine the assignments was done and methodically implemented in class and students reaction or feedback was taken. Students have shown preference or inclination towards combining the assignments due to better understanding of inter-relation of subjects and better portfolio.

ABSTRACT

Reimagining Jane Austen's 'Emma' in contemporary Delhi, 'Polite Society' is filled with shimmer and sparkle. But the "Emma" comparison is perhaps more faithful to the author's intentions and the structure of the novel.  Mahesh Rao's modern-day Emma is Ania Khurana in Polite Society, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy widow. Ania believes herself to be a novelist but soon becomes more preoccupied with her alleged matchmaking ability. Through skillful weaving, “Polite Society” traverses a richly imagined world of Delhi's elite, evoking an ever-expanding network of social sites and rumors through overheard conversations at parties, fancy lunches, and cafes. Here, Rao made insightful comments about the class, he has observed.

Keywords - Reimagining, Emma, unexpected match, self-awareness etc.
