1) Does the novel have social realism?

Yes , let’s see what is social realism. Social realism is a style of art, fiction, movie and play. It describes the daily life of worker and poor people. The artist try to show people and their lives in realistic way. (6) we find that Chetan Bhagat’s characters are not rich person but all the six characters are not poor but a worker, the whole novel deal with day to day life. Not only in business but also in personal life. We find that Syam, where Bhagat deals with day to day life like Love, Promotion, Break up etc. second Priyanka, whose have same problem as Syam like Love, typical mind-set of her mother(About marriage), break up etc. Third is Varun Malhotra, (parents separation, Love etc) Esha Singh (Desire, Love, escape from home etc) Radhika Jha (Marriage problem, household problem, etc) Military Uncle (old age house etc). Thus we can say that this novel is Social Realistic novel.

2) What sort of effect of Globalization is found in on@tcc?

Globalization is the opening of local and nationalistic perspective to a broader out look of an interconnected and interdependent world with free transfer of capital, goods and services across national frontier globalization has both positive and negative effects, and standers of life and quality of life. We find that call center is the center place, where story moves on. Thus the call center itself is the Company which guide American to use of it, and solve their problem. Thus we can say that Chatan Bhagat wants to give message to the Indian that who working call center (other companies also) they just get good salary but it opportunity to do something else or for their skills and creativity. That way in this novel we find globalization.

3) Comment on Narrative structure of the novel, Compare with that of Life of Pi.

In this novel Chetan Bhagat’s narrative technique  is very important apart from what is told in story ‘how’ part is also very important writer himself was travelling in train from kanpur to delhi, he listen story and that story is told by Shyam, who us character of this novel. That way its narrative technique is very important. Its prologue and epilogue also reflect his good narrative technique. And we can also compare this novel with ‘Life of Pi’. In both the parallel is experience of God. There is  is not clarity about God. One can’t say with surely that God is present or not.

4) What is popular literature? Is on on@tcc popular literature?

We can say that the novel on@tcc is popular literature because it has many elements which show the characteristics of popular literature like plot of Love-break up, Lack of confidence, lack of trust etc.

5) How far can this novel be categorized as cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a post modern science fiction genre. Cyber Punk connected with Science and Technology. Cyberpunk plots often center on a conflict among hackers, artificial intelligence and Mega Corporation. The character deals wth cyber technology. Vroom hacks Bakshi’s mail, Syam Hack Priyanka telephone. The american’s are terrorized with the help of bug in MS Office as virus attack in internet. In this novel Characters dealt with Bug, FM Radio, Email, Internet etc so we can say it is classify as Cyberpunk Novel

Mass Media and Communication Task 1

• Which is your favorite Mass media platform for communication ? Why do you like it ? What are its drawback ? 

Generally, I have used a lot of mass media platforms, like Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, Martubharti, Wordspress, Twitter, Mail box etc. But my favorite Mass media platform is two, one is Matrubharti and second is Whatsapp. I know Matrubharti is a Mass media platform but we can’t communicate in this application, but I like most because it provides a stage to share our Creative thought and also published our work as a book, and also they have thousands of users so we get a critical comment and such a rate, thus our creative writing skill will be improve, and they also awarded such prize. I think it has not any defeats, but according to me, in new version we find that Matrubharti has not give specific stage for the author. Now they are in same stage like reader and author. 

Second is Whatsapp, because Whatsapp company always try to update its update, it is one of the best mass media communicative android application which not only help to improve the basic skill of learning like Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening. It provides us free services like Text messages, video calling, voice calling etc it gives personal space also like Picture sharing, Location Sharing, Documents, Contact, effective Camera, Group, Broadcasting etc. As our Gujarati proverb, “A Vehicle required two Tires” as well this Social media have both away like positive and negative. Positive is that we can use it for education and also share important document and also anywhere we can connect with mass and talk with a person who is very far away from us and send message and call through Internet. The Negative is that people have not control of using it, anytime, anywhere they start to communicate and forget their relative. People also fail about privacy, because as George Orwell’s idea ‘BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU’. (Orwell) If we think that we’re delete such thing is deleted everywhere, (This is new feature) but it is half truth because it is deleted in receiver’s storage but what’s about where it decoding? There definitely storage !!! other defeats we can seen in its advertisement,

ELT 2 : Thinking Activity

Q-1 : Why is it necessary to use technology in Education ?

'An idea can change your life' , I think you heard this quotes somewhere. Yes It is idea callure company's advertisement quotes, it is not only commercial quotation of Idea company but it is real situation of society. We know this is an Digital Era, people become smart and started to using electric gadget, today it become necessism. If people can change , education should be change. Technology is a beworship of Science and Technology digital classroom is given freedom to learn everything and everywhere and traditional classroom has not, the traditional classroom have a teacher centric and the Digital Classroom have student centric. According to me, using technology in education, it is very useful or helping a lot and also it save polution. For example,

Q-2 & 3 : What is the difference between 'using' and 'integrating' technology? How can we integrate technology?

'Using' and 'Integrate' both are very similar but they have big difference. According to dictionary 'using' , ' the act or practice of employing something for particular purpose.' and 'Integrate' means ' to combine to form or create something.' Using Technology means teacher Use technology for teaching making a blog website presentation application form etc. Adjust for helping for teaching it call to using where integrate means both are used Technology. It's a two way of using Technology like online task online quiz making a Portfolio making a block using an inspiring it calls integrate. Teacher and learner both are using Technology in same way.

We can integrate Technology through so social media like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, flip learning, various tool of MS Office, online course, Google web tools like Google form, Google PowerPoint, Google blogs, Google Plus, Android application etc through integrate Technology in education. Students can learn anywhere and anytime through engaging Technology.

Q-4 : can Technology replace teacher ?

Teacher and Technology both are significance in development of education system technology is better for learning it gives you just information it can't be explained. Teacher connect the dots with current situation and explain it. Thus Technology can't replace teacher.
