easy n available
how easy internet has made our lives...some time back feeling a little confused about saivite iconography i felt like seeing some kushana coins..logging on the net i was surprised to find innumbrable coins with complete scholarly desctription....back in college i would have had to spend an entire day in collecting and collating the required information...so are the students today much more priviliged then us...they can get all the required info in a jiffy and literally at the click of the finger...i was reminded of our visits to various libraries and archives to give our assignments and projects a better shape and to be well equipped for the post presentation viva...have i started feeling ancient..not really..i am still a student and will always be one...

hey Geetika,
ReplyDeletei think going to libraries was a task for us..but i feel and very strongly think it made us more wise about what knowledge is all about when you spent hours to find the right books, authors subject in a sea of books and the never ending library alleys.....HAnsa Mehta library which i will never forget....i still enjoy going to a library ..for me it is like a sacred act to gain true knowledge...
i agree with u completely..still got dust from hm library on my shoes...and not to forget the wonderful collection in oriental library....things have becaome easy but unfortunately they have become short lived too..these days visuals are so easily available but you find very few students reacting to it....
