I have often planned and executed course of Literatures in English albeit only in my head. Most of these courses are highly fantastical, many improbable, and admittedly irrational too. Still during my empty hours I have designed course books, secondary literature, active learning practices, and grading rubrics, all in the name of “what if.”

Please feel free to transform any of these below mentioned courses into reality. My only condition is that you should invite me to one or some of your sessions so that I feel special (nothing wrong with that, right, even you are faraway do drop me a note or a picture).
