Budha Aadmi Aur Samudra (Hindi Translation of The Old Man And The Sea)

'बूढ़ा आदमी और समुद्र' उपन्यास एक बूढ़े गरीब मछुआरे के जीवन-संघर्ष की कहानी है। मछली पकडऩे जाना, मछली पकडऩे की कोशिश करना, उस कोशिश में कामयाब होना, फिर इस सफलता को अंजाम तक लाने की जद्दोजहद का नाम है 'बूढ़ा आदमी और समुद्र'।

एक मछुआरे के जीवन-संघर्ष की यह दास्तान काल, समय और सीमा के बंधन से परे है। यह मछुआरा दुनिया के हर कोने में मौजूद है— अपने परिवेश से जूझता हुआ बिना किसी आक्रोश के, बिना किसी तिरस्कार भाव के। शायद यह मछुआरा एक विकसित आत्मा भी है। उसके सारे मनोभाव तात्कालिक हैं। वह समुद्र से, चिडिय़ों से और मछलियों से संवाद करता है। विषम परिस्थितियाँ उसे विचलित नहीं करतीं। उसकी जिजीविषा मरजीवड़े से कम नहीं।

प्रकृति और मनुष्य के अंतर्संबंधों को बयान करता हुआ अर्नेस्ट हेमिंग्वे का यह उपन्यास निश्चित ही एक कालजयी रचना है तो फिर हम हिंदी के पाठक इससे क्यों वंचित रहते। अस्तु! Buy Now : https://www.amazon.in/Budha-Aadmi-Samudra-Hindi-Translation/dp/9355214626

In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Emily Hicks on her article "Teaching Language Skills to International Students in Catholic Seminaries and the Critical Component of Culture" (November 15, 2023) The Seminary Journal is a journal of opinion, research, and praxis in the field of seminary education and formation for priesthood within the Roman Catholic tradition. In the Spring of 2021, the faculty of the School of Theology at St. Mary’s Seminary & University in Roland Park, Baltimore decided to embark on a common faculty writing project in collaboration with Seminary Journal. The project was coordinated by Fr. Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R. The purpose of this effort on the part of the faculty was to encourage its members in light of the new Ratio Fundamentalis from Rome (2016) and the sixth edition of the Program for Priestly Formation (approved 2019) to delve more deeply into the various academic disciplines offered at the seminary, with an eye to how those disciplines should be taught in a Catholic seminary. It was also hoped that such a project would encourage closer collaboration among the faculty, with the hope of seeing how those disciplines relate to one another and how classroom pedagogy has an impact on the con-tent being both conveyed and received. Another hope was to offer the wider seminary community in the United States and beyond insights into how classroom pedagogy might impact the integration of the various dimensions of priestly formation.

The Flower of Aleppo

This was a very touching film that left us all feeling incredibly sad and void of hope. We knew going in that the subject matter would inform the film in this way; talking about jihad and ISIS is never fun. The film, though, until the end, stayed fairly level and to an extent, mundane. This was really interesting, as it showed how radicalization can often go undetected and isn't always a very dramatic change in someone's life. There were obvious signs, but changes in mood and behavior among teenagers are normal. Busy, working parents are not always the most adept at catching these signs, nor can they always be the ones to properly address them. We have learned through the seminar that jihad is a big issue here in Tunisia and that the number of people who go over to Syria to fight is disproportionately large considering how small this country is. Seeing it played out like this makes it much more real for me. I have no experience with religious radicalization, so it was hard to truly understand what people were doing and what drove them to take up this fight. These are real and heartbreaking stories that are important to comprehend, so I am grateful for watching the film. The ending is very tragic and has stuck with me; I assume this was the intent of the director. I will not forget it anytime soon.

[karolinium]

a very rough translation
• “For the majority of society, racist, misanthropic, discriminatory debates only become real when mobs hunt people, set buildings on fire, kill. The hatred, the gloating, the violence, the rejection - all that is the daily reality for people like me, people who are marked as “different” - becomes visible to most people only when it escalates massively. The things that minority and marginalized groups experience are omens. We should listen carefully when they describe what is happening in the shadows - for what there are sometimes no words.“ 
- Kübra Gümüşay, Sprache und Sein •

Our Mom v.s. My Mom

In Korean, mom is our mom, not my mom. Korean language reflects collectivist culture, while English reflects individualist culture. 

한국말로 엄마는, 내 엄마가 아니라 우리 엄마다. 한국어는 집단주위 문화를 ��어는 개인주위 문화를 반영한다.
