Teachers after Digital Content

The notion that digital content should be given priority while teaching a poem or story has gripped the high school teachers of Kerala.This is the impression that I could have from a few conversations with some of them.I don’t know whose intelligence has worked behind the creation and propogation of that notion.If a teacher gets satisfied by familiarising his/her students with a number of photographs peripherally related to the the poem or a video and finishes the class after giving a literal explanation of it’s content no doubt the whole affair of teaching will turn to be meaningless.

I am here

I am here / A path noone keeps in memory/ An animal no hunter wants/ An archaic remain no excavation had brought to light/ I am here/ A word decided to enter no language/ A soul determined to re-enter no body.
