World War 2: Beggining of Rationing

World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, though related 

conflicts that began earlier.

The fashions of the time were absolutely reflections of the economy and the state of the political world.

When WWII began, the women of Britain, who for some had already been through WWI, once again donned their war-time uniforms in an updated fashion to for the war effort.

In England, food was rationed first in January 1940. A year later clothing rationing was introduced along with a program to cover all problem areas: Rationing, Utility, and Austerity.

A day at the IGNCA Library

Although i don't read much, I love the feeling that I get when I enter a library. 
So as soon as we were assigned the project, I made sure to visit the famous INDIRA GANDHI NATIONAL CENTRE OF ARTS. 
I had heard about the IGNCA library before but had never been there. So this seemed as a good opportunity to do so now.
And was I surprized? Yes!
The library was huge and multi-storied. On asking I found out that there were more than 3 hundred thousand books.

I ended up coming across some books that were relevant to my subject: THE World War II.

Here are some images that my friend took while we were at the library.

That's all for now.

Thank you.

World War II: Mind Mapping

Mind Mapping

The exercise of mind mapping was very interesting. I had never done any exercise of this sort before. We were given a few minutes in class to write down what comes to our mind when we think of the subject of our choice (here world war). We did this a few times. And it was surprising to see everyone come up with things related to the subject that they would have never thought of in the first go.

It really gave me a good direction to work towards.
