Assignment 2: Getting to Know One Another Project 2: Narrative; Mrinmoy Das, 04/05/2013
A Writer within Everybody Power of rhetoric writing to exchange ideas, we need deep and deliberate practice passionately. That might lead one to make a professional compassionate writer. “It seemed daunting but not impossible” Heidi Ruckriegel I lived in a remote village within the state of West Bengal, eastern part of India. My village Nagarukhra (mentioned in The Ain-I Akbari by Abu'l-Fazl Allami) is situated by the side of dead river Yamuna and sixty kilometers from the state capital Kolkata. There was huge muddy road but lots of giant trees with folks of birds and colorful insects to attract me and gave me the opportunity to make a journey for a giant world. Here I would relate to Divya Divya’s Assignment-1 That's all about the writer in me, where she says “How love is not the only ingredient that is essential for a relationship to survive and how trust when added to love makes a relationship beautiful and sublime. And here history comes to my rescue, in picking up characters and then creating living people out of them in my stories.” Divya also quote her husband -- “a bird sings because it has a song to sing, a writer must write because there is a story to be written and to be read” gives me inspiration in rhetorically writing. It was too hard for me to learn English, exchanging with others even nobody had to teach English at my locality in 1963. England imposed imperialism upon India with the help of creamy layer of the society and that was a burden of two hundred years English legacy even with some good gesture for the country like data collection. As a result of unethical relationship a growing gap continued between small group of upper class and rest of the population. Since then English is a need based foreign language adapted in our education system, but for the creamy layer only. After sixty five years of independence Indian leaders failed to build an effective education policy for all. I realized through indepth study of various UN, OECD and other evidence based documents that India have progressed only a little about to achieve MDG-2 of UN (Achieve universal primary education by 2015). It was quite confusing that whether I was a good English learner or not in recent past. After going through the “Writing II: Rhetorical Composing” content and its learning method, I am quite confident to learn Global English professionally. Contrary, it will help me to write world class short stories passionately, earn readers feedback through critical reading and thinking on my pieces in near future. I think my skill in speaking and writing English is not good enough to communicate with my target audience at least in a standard level. The WEx Training Guide is helping me to use my positive attitude from experiences; I have gathered last 50 years, able to recall and share coherently. Apart from published short stories in Bengali Language, two of my favourite stories published in two books. Another story published in a well circulated monthly magazine in Bangladesh. Now I am reviewing critically of my published pieces and realized that how my short stories have failed to compelled readers due to lack of proper structuring and follow the writing discipline accordingly. As a strong believer of lifelong learning and exchanging, I love to enjoy Writers Exchange cohesively till my life goes on. My income generating work as a Migratory Beekeeper in 1978 to run my family and my study on, I started reading books in English like “Bees and Man”, “Fascinating world of Bees” and many more without understanding the language rhetorically. I am not sorry for that rather I have to work hard for learning on Rhetorical English Writing passionately.
