Hi there!
I'm Monami Mukherjee, an educator with over 20 years of experience,
but more importantly, a lifelong learner who’s passionate about sharing the magic of literature. My academic journey took me through Lady Brabourne College and the University of Calcutta, where I completed my MPhil. My academic interests revolve around Feminism, Post-colonialism, and Modernism, and I love breaking down complex concepts into simple, relatable ideas.
This blog is my way of connecting with students who are curious, confused, or even a little intimidated by literature. I am here to make to share my classnotes, answers, and articles.
Oh, and I also run a YouTube channel called NibblePop, whereI turn complex texts and ideas into “aha!” moments.
Let’s explore the world of words and ideas together!
