It is the world of Instagram and Twitter. Insta reels, Facebook posts, and YouTube shots are how we communicate with the world. Should we then rethink writing exercises that are part of curriculums? Should diary entries and letter writing make way for Twitterature and Instapoetry?

Literary translations introduce us to masterpieces and great writers from other languages, they help us meet different people and cultures and thus they play an integrative role in society. Literary translations also help enrich the existing literature in a language. So, what does translating a work from one langue to another involve? How does a translator decide on the choice of words to convey the original meaning? Can knowledge of translation help a language teacher?

Translations are a good way to enhance and improve vernacular literature. How easy is the process? What are the hurdles? Is there still a market for translated literature? A conversation between the author and a publisher.

Reading and writing in a language is very different from speaking it. They require more focus and dedication. Can literature help us understand the nuances of a language better? What does it mean to learn to read in a new language or even in your own language?

Literature first made its appearance in the form of the spoken word. As man evolved, so did his curiosity and imagination. Stories soon became a medium to acquire, store, and retrieve information. While the oral literature tradition lives on today in modern day storytelling events, with the entry of AI into our lives, one doesn’t know what the future holds for this tradition.

Ups and downs are a part of all our lives. When we are experiencing the lows, we need boosters that will help us hang in there and let the tide roll over. Poems can offer us solace, courage, inspiration.

When you come across children’s literature, if it is only stories that you see, you need to observe more keenly. Children’s literature is a powerful medium that can help in the emotional and psychological development of the child. These stories can become places where we find answers to questions we are afraid to ask, a friend who listens to us without judging , and meet people who are living similar lives as us. Children’s literature is not only for children, but for all of us who want to learn and grow.
Usha Raman
You think stories and you think fiction. Why not broaden our view of storytelling and literature to include non-fiction writing? Journalism, history, biography, science, nature, they all have “real” stories that can inspire, encourage, and give children a different perspective of life.
