Good Evening Everyone.
First of all thanks to Poopathy uncle for inviting me to share this view with you all. As he often does, earlier this week, once he has run out of all the possible speakers, he finally reached out to me to give this speech. Thanks for the opportunity uncle.
So let me commence with a disclaimer here. Attempting to provide a holistic perspective on two organically divided literature spectrum would always be a challenge. Doing that without the help of a proper literature review is an insult to such attempt. Moreover, preparing all these in a matter of few days is more sinful and this wouldn’t pass a simple pub test. Hence my proclamation follows; The views and opinions expressed in this piece are purely mine. These are solely my continuous accumulation of perceptions, often influenced by the books, social media, friends and narratives I encountered over the time and of course, with my conscience, I stand by everything I am going to say today.
