pened in a class, in MCC, a couple of years ago. A lady professor was taking class when one student's cell phone started ringing on three separate occasions. The professor finally stopped her lecture and asked for the offending student to stand up, but to no avail. Frustrated, she said, "I'm not going to give attendance to anybody today, unless the student owns up". So saying, she completed her lecture and moved out. Soon, a guy came rushing down to the prof, and asked for apologies, admitting he was at mistake and asked her not to withhold attendance for the class, as some were reeling under "acute shortage of attendance".

Discuss any two themes that you find in the Novel 'The Power and the Glory"Submitted by: Sudha, M, II BA English
The Dangers of Excessive Idealism:
To put it simply, an idealist is one who imagines that the world can be a much better place than it is. What could be dangerous about that? The lieutenant, in many ways, illustrates the danger. Obsessed with the way things could be, he remains mired in dissatisfaction and bitterness about the way things actually are. Although the wish to help the poor is a noble sentiment, dreams of "starting over", erasing history, and wiping out all religious belief are simply not realizable. Moreover, being unable to bring about the impossible leads the lieutenant to feelings of frustration and anger, an even more keen awareness of how imperfect the world is, and hatred for those people whom he views as obstacles to the realization of his dream. Moreover, his conviction that he knows what is best for the people is itself a form of arrogance. The priest, on the other hand, comes to accept suffering and death as a part of life; that is not to say that he does not wish to help alleviate suffering, but his faith in the next world helps him to accept the trials and hardships of this one.
The Disparity Between Representation and Reality:
Greene is interested in showing the gap between life as it is remembered, recorded or retold, and life as it is lived. Acts of storytelling occur quite frequently throughout the novel. The most obvious example is the story of Juan, the young martyr. One thing that becomes apparent by the novel's close is how very different Juan's story of martyrdom is from the priest's. Juan's life is characterized from start to finish by composure, loyalty and, above all, unshakeable faith. Although the priest certainly is an admirable figure, especially by the time of the novel's close, he still faces death afraid and unable to repent. But Greene is not juxtaposing the two accounts of martyrdom merely to highlight the priest's shortcomings, but rather to show that real-life differs from idealistic stories, in most cases. This theme extends beyond storytelling to other forms of representation. For example, the priest takes note of how little the gringo looks like his picture on the wanted poster in the police office, and the lieutenant fails to recognize the priest because the priest does not have the delicate hands that a stereotypical priest would have. Stories, pictures and other kinds of representation can give a misleading, exaggerated picture of a person, and Greene is interested in writing about reality as it is truly experienced, even if he himself is attempting to create that sense of unvarnished reality through his own storytelling.
More HERE (till the sub title CHILDREN)
The Spiritual Transformation of a sinner into a martyr and a saint:
The novels of Greene show his preoccupation with the theme of evil. In the present novel the theme of evil is worked out largely through the portrayal of the whisky priest, a portrayal which not only pertains to his outward actions but also includes a probe into his inmost thoughts. There is a certain element of evil or sinfulness in the nature of this priest, which tends to thwart his nobler side but cannot overcome it.

It was probably the April of 1974. Bangalore was getting warm and red gulmohars were blooming at the IISc campus.

I was looking forward to going abroad to complete a doctorate in computer science. I had been offered scholarships from universities in US. I had not thought of taking up a job in India.

Right from the day I rolled off the assembly line of the Ahuja factory as a finished microphone, I had had a hectic career, and I attribute it to my brand 'Ahuja', with all due respect. But judging by the undying energy and sheer enthusiasm of the spirited MCC-ians, Deepwoods 2008 was by far the best college event I've ever lent my services to. The whole of the lush green campus was geared up for the mega event when I landed in the 'Quadrangle', in the wee hours of December the third. The next three days were simply fabulous, an astounding explosion of dance, music and tons of fun. Day One saw Chennai's best ever dancing talents battling it out on the Deepwoods stage, and Ethiraj College emerging as the winners. But the fashion show was a bit of a let-down, with just a few teams in the fray. Even there, the MCC spirit revealed itself, with the College putting up an impromptu fashion show purely for hiking up the Entertainment Quotient.
