Your education is not complete, if you are merely literate and have laboratory and computational skills. Good education is that which nurtures a reflective, creative, and compassionate mind, for only then can you build a humane and understanding society. The arts and humanities are the best way to inculcate these skills in students, which is why even the science students must engage with literature. But how do you get them to?

By virtue of their short lengths, short stories are easy to read, but writing them is a different story all together. What makes a good short story? Can it be taught? Generating interest in writing assignments is always an uphill task, especially if students are not too keen to take them on. Difficult it may be, but not impossible, if the teacher keeps certain things in mind.

History and boring are synonymous words for most children. If history continues to be taught only in the chalk and talk mode, then surely with little or no engagement, children are going to question the relevance of learning the subject. Historical fiction and other art forms are a great way to inject some enthusiasm for the subject.

Indian mythology is basking in the sudden surge of popularity it has been receiving. Come to think of it, the Greek, Egyptian, and Mayan tales of myth are still where they were, but Indian mythology finds new readers in every generation, because it has the courage to reinvent and re-present itself.
