 Reading List for September (Week 3) by Rochelle D’souza


Hope you enjoyed reading all the articles last week and also found some time to rest. 


How did you find articles shared last week? Would you like to read more about a particular area or topic. Do let me know and I will be happy to share them in the list. 


I am back to sharing 18 articles this week from different sources. Hope you enjoy them. This time I have included an autobiological graphic novel. This is just to bring in some change. 


No recommendations came in this week, so I am leaving that part blank. I would love to share articles that you send. Do send what you enjoyed reading so that it can be shared with the other readers. I am sure as readers too you find it interesting to know what others are reading. 


Please find the list of 18 articles and 1 graphic novel.

    Ma'am in the article #2, can you reaffirm the main idea of the passage?
    What I understood from it was there are two different political class : the one that follows 1960s era of change and the one from 1950s era of conservatism and bourgeois families and in the present time, it is contested that Americans must adopt values prevalent in 1950s. It was completely opposite to what is often though about 'fifties', it was rather during 1950s itself when conservatism was overturned(since social scientists take time to publish their findings, the timeline is thus confused here). In the fifties four ideologies which focussed on outward thinking/other directed(people ascribing to what their similar ideological groups preach) rather than inward thinking, had created a distorted reality. This distortion is explained in each of the four ideologies, which is for some segments of a particular ideology (like in the example of capitalists) beneficial for masking their evil intent(I felt author to be a bit cynical at this juncture). And these school of thoughts from the era of fifties have transcended down to the present. It is even argued that values inculcated in a bourgeois family may not help to uplift the society in the present scenario because the economy has changed from that of an agri based one (which is a reason why in 19th century such a value system was helpful). Moreover since there is so much hidden distortion in the four ideologies, it has confused many ideologues why people had voted Trump who is outside all these 4 classes of ideologues. One reason could be these illusionary ideas might not have helped people to represent themselves fully into the democracy. So in the end author asks everyone to understand that we don't require the 1950s school of thought, and everybody must understand that the social changes brought in during 1950s is the reason behind the current mess. Americans must retire from those thoughts.

Hello everyone!  Happy New Year to you and all your loved ones. May we read a little more… A new year is associated with new beginnings. And I saw so many putting in their efforts to help create that motivation to begin afresh through posts having quotes and sayings, and even word searches. So I made one for you. But I don’t want you to settle for the first word you find. Instead search for what you really want to work on. So now that you have found that goal, let’s work on it and write down 3 things you would do to ensure that goal is attained.  Coming back to the reading list, like last year, I will again share a list of 20 articles and a few short stories. If there is anything else you would like me to include, do write to me. I have enjoyed putting together a list of articles for you to read. My goal is to help you find the joy of reading.  Sharing this week’s list of 20 articles . Including a special section for poems for XAT takers Good luck to all those taking XAT 2024.  https:/

Reading List by Rochelle Dsouza - Year 2022 Week May 23rd, 2022

Hello everyone!  Hope all of you had a lovely weekend and met your targets. As for me, my target this week was to relax and rejuvenate myself. I think I fared pretty well as I met my target. :) I had a wonderful week with my family as we went out to spend some time away from this hot weather. Spending time with your loved ones is a blessing and we take this for granted often when we spend each day just doing our tasks.  Another happy moment was when I came across a lovely song ‘Khula Asmaan’ which I want to share with you. It makes me feel emptiness, which is actually a beautiful feeling. My favourite line in this song is - Tu dhoop, mein saya.  Khula Asmaan (Firmament) | Unbounded Abaad | Purbayan Chatterjee, Javed Ali | Sufiscore Now, back to the reading list. And don’t forget to share your feedback, comments, suggestions Reach out to me on rochelle@quoinacademy.com . Let’s set sail! https://lithub.com/kate-eichhorn-on-the-rise-of-insta-artists-and-insta-poets/ https://www.japantime
