I love this course. The content of the course clearly deserves five stars, but I am giving it only 3 stars for the laziness of the Vallath team. In the beginning of the Huck Finn’s summary, Heena ma’am suggests us to watch the summary of Tom Sawyer first but that summary is missing from the course content. As this was previously available on YouTube, Heena ma’am may have recorded Tom Sawyer summary but the team does not deign to upload it. Moreover, I am a student of JKPSC course as well and many Heena ma’am content that was provided there is missing here. I came here thinking this is going to be a one stop place for the summaries recorded by Heena ma’am but unfortunately that is not true!
The Vallath Capsule Summary Classes are very useful and well-structured. The summaries are clear, concise, and save a lot of time during preparation. Explanations are simple and engaging, which make even complex works easy to grasp. It was definitely a good match for my exam preparation.
One suggestion: it would be even more helpful if more works and summaries could be added, as that would make the course even more comprehensive.

Is it true? What do you think?
We shall explore this idea today. Hello, This is Nishant, a student of Kalyani Vallath and Team Vallath.
And we are going to discuss today how this piece of art 'Literary Masterpiece' by creator Heena Wadhwani has shaped the viewers.
Genre: Magical Reelism
Setting: Varied
This course has worked well to rejuvenate my interest in English Literature. For a very long time, I had been struggling to find meaning in this journey. Now, I am trying to see things in a new light making my perspective more accommodating and accepting. It is not wrong to say that the preparation of exams like NET and especially NET dulls the creative quotient in many enthusiasts. The preparation demands cramming up of works and dates so much that the essence of literature gets lost. We rarely read the novels and poems, even summaries. We don't actually learn how to create poems using various meters or how to satire subtly. We don't use Lyly's euphuism in expressing intense feelings or pen down casually a Haiku for fun. Yes, there are specialized courses that can teach you all this. But why our education system is so indifferent to the needs of the students that it can't see that it need a paradigm shift which is long long overdue. Where is NEP? I can't see her. It's been years now and we are getting asked questions on her in the exams but she hasn't incarnated yet. People are in a rat race mugging up syllabi to secure a humble job. Why is the curriculum not designed to the diverse need of the population? When will the needless atrocities a student goes to clear dreamy NET stop? When can one finally rest the anxiety and just read for reading's sake?
Art should not be mechanised or capitalised.
I don't like critics very much but acknowledging the fear of sounding like one, I must say I had been hurt a lot by the system. I had a thirst for life and if writing is the food for expression, I wrote unapologetically... until things gradually took me to the road worn out.
Eventually, the old order changeth giving way to new gradually and I invited some acceptance in life towards ideas and relationships and everything in general 'slowly slowly' (like Kalyani mam says)
So, I have started watching the summaries and slowly slowly I'm feeling optimistic in this sea of uncertainties life is and also modern literature playfield (giving the dawn of AI). And the answer, the fleeting answer will take many shapes and forms for us all but 'what comes from the heart goes to the heart' will continue to stay true. This is what this course has been able to do. Even on days in not so great health, the educator has showed up with the same fervour. This is not unprecedented as Kalyani ma'am and the whole team is vaccinated like that. Well, It's so good to see good people doing good. It replenishs the faith. Thank you all and especially Heena ma'am, " I loved it. Take very good care of your health and hope to see you more. Bie bie :) "
