نویسنده
چکیده
I met my friend's daughter recently when she came to join a Bangalore based tech multinational. She passed out of her engineering graduation with an awesome 98.4% from one of the top technology institutes in the country.

متن کاملFrankenstein: An Echo of Social Alienation and Social Madness
Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’, through the portray of the ‘monster’ hints the uncanny defamiliarization of the familiar role of the society.
