The World is a Book...
Suvidha Laharika
“The
world is a book and those who don’t travel read only one page” said St.
Augustine. At some or the other point of
life, we all travel from one place to another: it may be for education or a
world tour or shifting a house. But we don’t realize that travelling not only
makes us speechless but also a storyteller.
The
imaginative as well ambiguous topic of “Travel poetry”, upon which, various opinions were discovered and discussed, was taken up for the final meeting of QLC, held on 16th
of February.
We
had selected two diverse poems: one was Ulysses (1842) which depicted the importance
of travelling for soul and the other was Questions of Travel (1965)which left an
open ending for a confused reader whether to go out to explore or to ignite the
fire of imagination inside the four walls.
Firstly,
the poem Questions of Travel was
recited very gracefully by Jyoti madam and then Juveria Tabassum presented a Powerpoint Presentation comparing the two poems.
Then
all of us shared our views on travelling and our experiences. The most interesting
turn of the meeting occurred when Grace Ma'am narrated about the maiden voyage
made by her parents to America on a ship. The trials and tribulations of the voyage
both mental and physical were captivating. At the end of the day, we concluded
that travelling not only gives us learning experiences but also gives strength,
peace and tranquility to the soul. We travel not to escape life but for life
not to escape us.

The last meeting of the Quills Literary Club was held on 16 February, 2016. It was about 'Travel poetry'. We all
gathered in the English Language Lab by 3:30 p.m. Jhilam ma'am greeted us with her her pretty smile
and her lovely words. Jyothi ma'am expressively read a poem Questions of Travel (1965)written by Elizabeth Bishop. Later we discussed about
traveling, modes, experiences and challenges associated with travel. We were given an opportunity to share our
experiences about our own adventures. All our friends shared their
experiences both funny and memorable. I too shared my memories and experiences
of my trip. I was glad when Grace ma'am shared her memories of her parents' maiden trip to America and back on a ship.
Pushpa ma'am and Jyoti ma'am also told about their trips. Jhilam ma'am encouraged everyone to share their experiences. Sumitra ma'am noted minutes of the meeting. Pankaja ma'am supported us with her warm smile. The session was so interesting that it did not occur to anyone when clock struck 5.pm. I didn't care about the time when I was in the meeting. I enjoyed, learnt and shared my views. I am glad about the meeting as well as the topic. I look forward to the next meeting. I sincerely thank all the lecturers of the Department of English for giving me such a valuable opportunity to be a part of the Quills Literary Club.
Thank you
