Love, Detachment & Hope in the poems of Nandini Sahu
Get PDFA Song, Half & Half by Nandini Sahu is a collection of her love poems, published in the year 2022. The collection consists of more than sixty poems, each encapsulating an essential flavour of life. The book embodies a heart in solitude, that is accidentally shaken up by the sweet and sour turbulences of memory. A thoughtful poet is always indebted to its memory, one who cherishes nostalgia and uses imagination to weave the thread of past events with a needle of creativity to produce art. Nandini Sahu is one such poet, she is emotional and passionate in her poems, and honest towards her readers. Her love poems are a collage of chronicles that speaks volumes about her journey, full of success, struggles and epiphanies that shaped her personality and character. She is a chronicler who delves into the ocean of life, full of varied experiences and offers a scintillating bricolage to her readers. This paper sheds light on those poems by Nandini Sahu, that explore the themes of detachment, existentialism and absence of feeling. It also examines the idea of belief in fate and the importance of speaking the truth, when surrounded by hardships of life. This dichotomy of hope and despair fuels the poetry of Nandini Sahu, and encourages its readers to live life in the face of defeat

The Personal as Political: A Study in Nandini Sahu’s Sita (A Poem)
Get PDFWhen authors attempt to pen down their ideas on an issue relevant to the society, their own social contexts are bound to seep in into their texts, with or without their awareness of the same. In that sense, all writing is political. Applying this dictum of the cultural materialists, this paper seeks, among other things, to study the meeting points of the personal and political in Nandini Sahu’s groundbreaking epic-scale Sita (A Poem). Focus will be on the analysis of the text’s subversive potential, the demythification of Sita--the heroine of the epic Ramayana. How well Nandini Sahu’s ‘Sita’ transcends the boundaries of time and space in the process of claiming her rightful identity will be addressed herein. The texts and contexts of Sita have always been a matter of great critical debate; critics, at all times, have constructed and deconstructed this character according to their own politics. Sita–the character from Sage Valmiki’s Ramayana–is at once simple and complex. Patriarchy cleverly pushes to the sub-texts the ‘behind-the-curtain’ politics associated with the multiple texts, with almost singular narrative, that claim to be all faithful renditions of Sita’s story. Her complexity can be understood only when a deeper reading of such sub-texts is properly presented. It should be interesting to find out how Sahu’s narrative falls in or out of line with the popular narratives on Sita. And while observing this, the politics of Nandini’s Sita will be attempted to be brought out through this paper
Investigation of Fusion Hindrance in the Decay of Pre-actinide 204Po84 Nuclear System
No full textM.Sc. (Physics)In view of present day developments in the domain of theoretical nuclear physics, it is extremely important & essential to study the nuclear dynamics and related aspects at the extreme conditions of temperature, angular momentum, & energies in reference to recent advances in the field of experimental nuclear physics. One of the important aspects in this category is the fusion hindrance. Fusion hindrance in pre-actinide region is currently an active area of investigation as majority of nuclei in this mass region respond to this kind of mechanism. We have investigated the fusion hindrance in the decay of 204Po formed in 16O+188Os reaction using the Dynamical Cluster decay Model (DCM). We have calculated the evaporation residue and Fission cross section in reference to available experimental data. As expected investigated nuclear reaction does not lead to fusion hindrance at the selected range of incident energies.SPM
