One Night at @ the Call Center



Respected Sir,
                          As we discussed in our class also that Chetan Bhagat this name is enough for his fan readers who likes to read him, he has some different things in his writings that attracts his readers and that things are,

1. Contemporary issues in on@tcc :-



                      First thing is that one night at the call center is coming with some new issues of contemporary time. Not that kind of old issues like morality and revenge but coming with new ideas. Related with this new young generation. Call centers is itself is issue in our current time. Issues of gating jobs, issues related with Bossism and humiliated by bosses, issues of marriage and securities in jobs etc. This all the things that attracts his readers more in numbers. Radhika is not happy in his marriage life, Priyanka is worried about her mother all the time, Esha is sucked in his own problems and issues, Varun has his own problems related with parents and all.

                    So this all the things are related with Contemporary issues in on@tcc.

2.   Mannepean satire :-




                            Mannepean Satire is a serio-comic genre. The novel ON@TCC is considered as Mannepean satire, in which we find that these characters suffer from the problems in their lives. In this novel Chetan Bhagat represent the idea of bossism that the boss of call center who has a power over these six characters. In this way writer criticized who has power to rule other people.

                            Another example is writer also criticize generation gap and expectations of parents from their children in a very light tone. Ex:- Priyanka’s mother always creates dramatic situation that she is about to die so Priyanka has to get married as early as possible. I think this is satire on expectations of parents from their children in a very light tone.

3.  The effect of Globalization :-



                            In the novel Chetan Bhagat has presented the problems of the youth of India.  Each character suffers from the problems in their lives especially in call centre. “The World is Flat” is about the brief history of 21st century where he talks about the Globalization. Friedman, calling himself a "free-trader" and a "compassionate flatist", and he criticizes societies that resist these changes. In the same way Chetan Bhagat who also criticized the society in this novel.

                           In this novel we find many issues are raised in the life of the characters. Chetan Bhagat is best writer of the new generation. In this novel we find the bitter situation of the characters who working in the call center that they are exploit from their boss Bakshi and Chetan Bhagat also talks about  privatization policy, a very few industries give a job security.

4.   Popular Literature and ON@TCC :-



                    The writer of the 21st century mainly deals with the theme related to the problems of the society that people like to read about the novels. In the same way Chetan Bhagat always talks about in his novels the contemporary problems. Because throughout the literature writer can shares the wrong things which is surrounding to us and it became popular literature for the readers. In this novel we see the problems of Radhika and Esha.

                 Chetan Bhagat is popular writer of the age in his work he uses simple language that is very easy to understand for the readers. His books appeal to the readers widely accepted by the youngsters. In his works he writes about the contemporary issues that readers like to read and they choose this type of popular literature. 

5.   Self-Help Book and ON@TCC :- 



               In this novel we can see the idea of self-help book. Self-help book means which written in the intention to instruct its readers on solving personal problems. It is also known as self-improvement. In this novel there is a call from God who gave solution to the characters. God says to these characters to not become frustrated by the problems. In this way all characters solves their own problems which they suffers in their lives. In his epilogue and prologues he gives tips as like self-help books.

                 Some another self-help books like Ex:- The Secret book written by Rhonda Byrne.

 

6.   Anti-American sentiments :-


                         In ON@TCC there is one of the theme in the novel is Anti-American. Chetan Bhagat believes that Indian should not consider inferior to Americans.  Vroom cannot stand two things: 1. The Racists and 2. The Americans.

                     He thinks that the Americans are superior then the India us “not because they are better people. But because their country is rich and ours is poor. That is the only damn reason. Because the losers who have run our country for the last fifty year could not do better than make India one of the poorest countries on the earth”. Throughout the character of Vroom Chetan Bhagat reflects the theme of Anti-American.

7.  What is Cyber Punk? Can on@tcc be categorised as cyber punk novel?



                             Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a future setting, noted for its focus on "high tech and low life" aspects of society. It features advanced technology and science, such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order.

                           In this novel ‘Bug’ plays vital role as a plot mover in this novel night at the call center where so many people’s jobs are secured with information of ‘Bug’.

                          And the second thing is use of FM radio to know truth of Anuj husband of Radhika that he has extra marital affair with another one with the help of this FM Radio.

            So, we can say that this novel night at the call center talks about each and every aspects of 21st century.

                                         Thank You ….

How Technology is Useful in Process of Teaching and Learning in Education

How Technology is Useful in Process of Teaching and Learning in Education





                 
                     We all are living in era of technology. By one or another way we all are connected with technology. So why we not try technology in process of teaching and learning. As food and breath is important for living I think technology is also that kind of part of our life.

                     Life starts with technology and ends with technology then someone may ask that What is technology ??

                    In simple words technology means all the things that is not a part of my body. Outer things are technology.



1. Why is it necessary to use Technology in Education?

·       In education main focus is on teaching learning process. And because of this Teacher is at the center from the very earlier stage of teaching learning process.

·       But now time is changing and with the flow of time teaching learning process is also starts changing. So now Students are at the center rather than teacher.


·       There are so many methods and approaches for teaching learning process but no one can replace technology as a best method of teaching learning process.

·       Books and printed things are also part of technology even Language itself is a part of technology because language is not natural but it is gift of human being to human being.


·       That’s why technology is very important thing in teaching learning process and it is necessary in process of teaching learning.

·       Self-learning is very important part of teaching learning process with the help of technology. Decentering the center from teacher to student.

2.  What is the difference between 'using' and 'integrating' technology? 



                               Using and integrating is different words from each other. If technology is only used by teachers for the purpose of teaching learning process it called “Use of technology” and if technology is part of students’ life also it called “Integrating technology”.

                                    If technology is part of routine life of students and teachers in process of teaching and learning it calls “Integrating technology”.

Examples :-

·       Students are working in environment of technology, surrounded by gadgets all the time, it is part of their lives too.

·       Reading in soft copies.

·       Completing given tasks

·       Online quizzes

3.  How can we integrate technology?  



We are “Integrating technology” in process of teaching and learning.

·      Our teaching learning process starts with message on what’s app for schedule of that day.

·      Daily schedule process surrounded by technology only. Use of laptop, speakers, videos etc.

·      Lectures are conducted with help of power point presentations, videos, and audios, pictures so topic seems more clear and understandable.


·      At the end of unit there is online quiz for better evaluation.

·      Blog tasks, online quizzes, replies of emails for knowledge of outer world and free for thinking and creative writings.

·      Presentations given by students at the end of semesters.

So, with the help of this all the things we can say that technology is best tool for teacher in process of teaching and learning in this 21th century world.
