Dear Readers & Contributors,
Welcome to the January 2021 issue of IJELLS.
Some time-tested and then some new and unchartered works are touched upon in this issue. It is heartening to find research covering newer grounds. There are two research articles revisiting our ancient Upanishads. We also present to you a bunch of young writers who are filled with ideas and learning to explore this vast field of research in English.
The cover page features an original photograph “Winter 2021” clicked by Bhargava Ram Racharla. Enjoy this young photographer’s interpretation of Indian seasons on which we have based the four issues per year.
International Journal of English: Literature, Language and Skills – IJELLS extends its service into publishing books. We have started the enterprise IJELLS Publishing. This is a platform where we help the authors self publish their work. Check out our website at www.ijellspublishing.org to understand more.
Happy Reading and Happy Sharing!
Dr. Mrudula Lakkaraju
