Vinayak and Me Response
While reading Professor Chaturvedi's search for the meaning of his name in "Vinayak and Me", I couldn't help but wonder why he was doing this. It was interesting that his name was, in fact, the first name had origins with Savarkar or the god Ganesh and had an interesting story in its background. But what I really think Professor Chaturvedi was trying to accomplish with this article, is that we as readers need to personally relate to our texts. For him, it was the relation of his name's story that lead him to inquiring about Savarkar and his involvement in Gandhi's assassination. Likewise, we need to take personal interest in our writings, which relates directly to our upcoming research paper. We need to discover within our research, what the topic means to us and its significant to us.

yes--and i think it also helped that the personal interest had political significance (i mean, helped in the sense that part of professor chaturvedi's personal interest is political, or so it seems...)?
