The Rebellious Spirit by OSHO

The Rebellious Spirit by OSHO

₹100

The Wandering Falcon is Jamil Ahmad's harsh and beautiful portrait of a tribal landscape. SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN ASIAN PRIZE 2011 LONGLISTED FOR THE DSC SOUTH ASIAN PRIZE 2013 The boy known as Tor Baz - the black falcon - wanders the tribal landscape of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. He meets men who fight under different flags, and women who risk everything if they break their society's code of honour. Where has he come from, and where will fate take him? 'Striking. One of the finest collections of short stories to come out of south Asia in decades. Rarely has a writer shown greater empathy for its people, or brought such wisdom and knowledge to writing about a terrain largely inaccessible. The power and beauty of these stories are unparalleled in most fiction to come out of south Asia' Guardian 'Astonishing' Independent 'Remarkable. Written in a style that has about it the reverberant clarity of fables, but their intention is realist, uncovering a largely neglected world, and their cumulative effect is deeply moving' Sunday Times 'Its setting alone, in the cruel and punishing highlands, deserts and rocky altitudes where the borders of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran meet, is worth the price of admission. Here is a book, to my knowledge the first in fiction, that gives an insider's account of the hard-bitten lives of the scores of tribes, collectively known as the Pawindas, or foot-people. The result is mesmerising' The Times 'Brilliantly evokes the harshness of nomadic life. Chilling' Metro Jamil Ahmad was born in Jalandhar in 1933. As a member of the Civil Service of Pakistan, he served mainly in the Frontier Province and in Balochistan. He was Political Agent in Quetta, Chaghi, Khyber and Malakand and later, commissioner in Dera Ismail Khan and Swat. He was posted as minister in Pakistan's embassy in Kabul at a critical time, before and during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, and his last assignment in the government was Chief Secretary Balochistan. He lives in Islamabad with his wife, Helga Ahmad

English Supplementary Reader for Class 7

English Supplementary Reader for Class 7

₹250 ₹290
14% off

A truly excellent supplementary reader for Class 7 English, like the "Fourth Edition English Ferry," would likely stand out for several key reasons:Engaging Content and Themes: * Captivating Storytelling: The stories within would be more than just exercises in reading; they would be genuinely engaging, sparking curiosity and holding the attention of young readers. Think tales with relatable characters facing interesting challenges, perhaps with a touch of mystery, adventure, or humor. * Age-Appropriate Themes with Depth: While suitable for their age, the themes explored would offer opportunities for thoughtful reflection. They might touch upon friendship, courage, kindness, perseverance, understanding differences, or the importance of making good choices, but presented in a way that resonates with a 12-13 year old's understanding of the world. * Variety of Genres: An excellent reader wouldn't stick to just one type of story. It would likely include a diverse mix perhaps short stories, excerpts from novels, poems, folk tales, or even short plays exposing students to different styles of writing and expanding their literary horizons.Language Development and Skill Enhancement: * Rich and Varied Vocabulary: The language used would be slightly challenging yet accessible, introducing new words and phrases within a clear context, thus naturally expanding the students' vocabulary. * Focus on Comprehension: Beyond just reading, the reader would subtly encourage deeper understanding. This could be through the narrative itself, or perhaps with thoughtful questions and activities (though these might be in a separate workbook). * Improved Reading Fluency: The length and complexity of the texts would be appropriate for developing reading fluency and building confidence. * Exposure to Different Sentence Structures: Students would encounter a variety of sentence structures, implicitly improving their understanding of grammar and syntax.Pedagogical Value and Presentation: * Alignment with Curriculum Goals: While supplementary, the reader would likely align with the broader learning objectives of the Class 7 English curriculum, reinforcing concepts and themes taught in the main textbook. * Clear and Appealing Presentation: The book would be well-designed with clear font, adequate spacing, and perhaps engaging illustrations that complement the text without being distracting. * Potential for Classroom Discussion: The stories and themes would ideally lend themselves to lively classroom discussions, encouraging critical thinking and the sharing of different perspectives.Overall Impact: * Fostering a Love for Reading: Ultimately, an excellent supplementary reader would aim to cultivate a genuine love for reading in young learners, making them see reading not just as a task but as a source of enjoyment and knowledge. * Building Confidence and Independence: By successfully navigating the texts, students would gain confidence in their reading abilities and become more independent learners.In conclusion, if the "Fourth Edition English Ferry Supplementary Reader Class 7" effectively incorporates these elements engaging stories with meaningful themes, opportunities for language development, and a thoughtful presentation that fosters a love for reading then it would undoubtedly be considered an excellent resource for Class 7 students. It would serve as a valuable tool for enriching their English language learning journey beyond the core textbook.To give you a more specific review, I would need to have access to the book itself and its contents. However, based on these criteria, you can likely assess its quality if you have the book in front of you.
