    After the arrival of the British, Tamil literature which was lying dormant, started traveling all over the world on the printing press. Especially the modern literature, which is comprehensible even to the lay people, brilliantly portrays the life of the people without admixture of imagination. In this way, the purpose of this article is to take a closer look at the author's creativity in the short story "Elephant Doctor" in the Aram+ short story collection of the writer Jayamohan. He introduces characters in his work, records hidden histories, tells facts aloud, depicting the chaos of the I.D living people and the fact that the living creatures are greater than humans, the lifestyle of the mountain people, the selfless service, the development of political technology, the intrigues of the medical leaders, the control of scientific notes and other literary resources, and colonialism are the dominant personalities of the Elephant Doctor short story. The conclusion of this article is that if this book is loved and read by fellow human beings, social ills will gradually decrease

    One-step synthesis of ZnO nanosheets: a blue-white fluorophore

    Zinc oxide is synthesised at low temperature (80°C) in nanosheet geometry using a substrate-free, single-step, wet-chemical method and is found to act as a blue-white fluorophore. Investigation by atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction confirms zinc oxide material of nanosheet morphology where the individual nanosheets are polycrystalline in nature with the crystalline structure being of wurtzite character. Raman spectroscopy indicates the presence of various defects, while photoluminescence measurements show intense green (centre wavelength approximately 515 nm) blue (approximately 450 nm), and less dominant red (approximately 640 nm) emissions due to a variety of vacancy and interstitial defects, mostly associated with surfaces or grain boundaries. The resulting colour coordinate on the CIE-1931 standard is (0.23, 0.33), demonstrating potential for use as a blue-white fluorescent coating in conjunction with ultraviolet emitting LEDs. Although the defects are often treated as draw-backs of ZnO, here we demonstrate useful broadband visible fluorescence properties in as-prepared ZnO
