NOUN AND THEIR

Often I am blamed for my pro-woman approach, i.e. I speak Kinds of Pronouns

6. Demonstrative Pronoun : This, These, That, Such, Someone
Instead of repeating the word ‘Ramola’ (proper noun), it is 7. Indefinite Pronoun : Some, Anyone, None, Other

It is interesting to note here that Myself is common in In the above two sentences, the pronoun ‘myself’ is

Well, the following types of pronoun and their sub-category
will make the confusion clear:
COMPETE Plus 08
Personal pronoun
The pronouns used for three different persons are called Personal pronouns. They are:
a) The Person speaking = First person ( I, me, mine, we, us, our, ours)
b) The Person spoken to = Second person (You, your, yours, yourself, thou, thee, thy, thine)
c) The Person spoken of = Third person (He, She, It, They, his, her, him, hers, them, their, theirs)
A Chart depicting Pronouns of all three persons with case and numbers

Nominative I We Thou You He, She, It They
Objective Me Us You, Thee, You Him, Her, It Them
Yours
Possessive My, Mine Our, Ours Thy, Thine, Your, Yours His, Her, Its, Their,
Your Hers Theirs
The following deductions can be made while analyzing the above chart:
I. First person and second person include only masculine and feminine gender. For ex. I, We, You is used commonly for both the genders.
II. In third person singular, he is used for masculine and she is used for feminine gender.
III. Animals, birds, trees-plants, insects, infants and non-living objects take It for their singular version. However, the third gender is also accepted among human beings these days as ‘It’.
IV. They is used for plural version of all male, female and neuter (animals/objects) genders.
V. There is no change in the nominative and objective case of you and it.
VI. The pronouns after than and but are always used in Nominative case. For ex.
She is older than I (am).
I know you more than he (knows you).
Remember
In a single sentence, if different pronouns are used, then their sequence of appearance is: 2+3+1, i.e. second person is first, and then third person followed by first person in the last. For eg:
I. You, he and I went there. (2+3+1)
ii. You and I are friends. (2+1)
iii. He and I are qualified. (3+1)
iv. You and he are present. (2+3)
Exception
But in case of statements of mistake or acceptance of fault, the order changes, for ex:
I, you and he abused him OR I and he broke the chair.
It is too much for this issue, isn’t it? So, leaving the rest discussion on pronouns for the next issue, where I will take up different uses of It and other forms of pronoun. Till then, happy reading!

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES SHOWCASE
THEIR CRAFTS TO TOURISTS
By Prof. Kakoli Biswas
Associate Professor
UID
This summer, I had gone to Europe on a cruise with my family. The countries visited were Italy (Venice), Montegro (Kotor),Greece (Athens, Olympia) and Croatia (Split, Dubornik). Apart from
the normal touristic experiences like monuments, forts, boat rides, cuisine, etc, I had a close look at how the handicrafts/handlooms in these countries are flourishing and a big tourist attraction.
For students of fashion, it is not only important to know and understand the various crafts of India but also appreciate and understand how these indigenous crafts can be marketed to the world.
It is wonderful to see how most of the European countries have successfully managed to showcase their crafts to the tourists. For example, there are two very important crafts in the city of
Venice. One is the art of glassware at the famous island of Munro, and thus the craft is known world over as Munro glassware. The moment you land up at Venice, at every street corner across
the city, you will see shops selling Munro glassware. There are live workshops on how the glass jewellery is created by hand. We visited one of the workshops to look at the marvel of handmade
glassware. Alongside the island of Munro, there is another island named Burano, which is famous for its lacework. Just as you could find Munro glassware at every nook and corner of Venice,
you could also find shows selling and promoting Burano lacework. One interesting aspect
WORLD OF WANDERLUST
I would like to share with my students of fashion designing is that every city we visited on our tour such as Kotor, Athens, Split, etc had some form of crafts in the form of souvenirs for the tourists.
Reflecting back, can we see our crafts being sold or marketed at public places in any city of India? As students of fashion designing, is it also not part of profession to ensure that our crafts are
showcased on a large scale in our cities? Hence, the aspect of promotion and marketing is also very important in our trade and which I think the Europeans have excelled to a large extent. Our
crafts need to be marketed to ensure that our age old traditions are showcased to the world and, more importantly, the artisans who create these masterpieces also have a sustained and
regular flow of income. Students of fashion design do have a duty towards our gifted artisans in this regard.
In Greece, we visited Athens and Olympia, where the world’s first ancient Olympics were held. Both these cities are ancient cities and are also Unesco World Heritage sites. Visiting such sites
gives you an insight into the history and culture of these ancient civilizations, which I think are good learning points for students of the design industry. For example in Split, we visited the old
town, which again was a Unesco World Heritage site. It was an eye opener to see that such small countries like Greece and Croatia have well preserved their ancient history and culture by
maintaining their forts and towns.

FLY ON THE WALL
Take a lesson on humility, Mister
We are yet to find one single person on campus that can get along with the transport manager of
Karnavati University. We understand it’s a tad difficult to manage a large number of vehicles,
staff and different routes but that does not justify his rude behaviour with almost everyone he
speaks to! Especially when the President and Vice Chancellor of the University are such
humble people! The other day, one of the senior faculty members complained about a
dysfunctional air conditioner in the bus, to which the transport manager offered the number of
the AC repairer! Another faculty once complained about the lack of curtains on the bus to which
the manager had the same response. Yet another staff person mentioned that one of the routes
can be altered a bit to fasten transport time, which didn’t go down well with the manager who
said that if the staff didn’t shut up, he would consider stopping sending buses to that route. Well,
if faculty and staff have to manage the AC and curtains on the bus, then we wonder when they
would have time to do their own work! And since the work of the transport manager gets shared,
will he also share his revenue with those who share his burden? If not that, we suggest he at
least takes a few lessons on how to be a better manager from the heads of the university.
Accept a compliment gracefully, please
This senior male faculty member loves reminding everyone the number of years of work
experience he has! It’s difficult for everyone around him to make a conversation without being
reminded that he started his career in the early ‘80s and is still going strong. To add to it, he
doesn’t spare anyone from boasting about his past achievements or never misses a chance to
mention how he has always been a one-man army and still succeeded at tasks. The other day,
when he walked in to his office, one of the female staff gave him a compliment on how sharply he
was dressed that day. To which, he replied, “I always dress sharply. I have 30-plus years of work
experience and since I began my career in the early ‘80s, I have been receiving compliments on
how well I dress.” The embarrassed female staffer was left wondering why she even made an
effort to give a compliment. Sir, how about responding with just a “thank you” the next time
someone says something nice about you?
Some Saturdays are working, ma’am!
This new HR policy for faculty and staff members that was introduced since July 1 baffled a few
but pleased others. This female faculty member was particularly displeased about two or three
working Saturdays in a month. She had gotten so used to getting all weekends off that she
would refuse to host workshops or receive guests in her department on Saturdays, in spite of
being the department head at that time. Her colleagues were snickering about how she would
now have to work on some Saturdays after the new policy was introduced. But she refuses to
work on a single Saturday even at the cost of her salary! Now that’s called giving two hoots to
