Literature, I believe, is one of the most scrutinised, amazing, inspiring and incredible testimonies to mortals. Literature aids at unlocking the gateway to the treasury of the world. Literature mirrors the society. Literature unravels us into distant places, ancient times, other peoples and their different ways of speaking and writing. Literature begs us to analyse, to compare and, most importantly, to question. This paper is an attempt to explore space and scope of surrounding nature and ecology not only in literary room but also in existential space of our life as a cosmic man to find a mutual existence of boththe nature and man.

The fear and anxiety surrounding cancer often prompt family and friends to respond with either excessive protection or emotional detachment, leaving patients feeling isolated and unsupported. This article challenges entrenched stereotypes, particularly cultural tendencies in India to conceal cancer diagnoses, associate the disease with karmic retribution, and view it through fatalistic and death-centered perspectives. Drawing on theories of pathography and restitution narratives, it offers an alternative perspective to the bleak and fatalistic portrayals of cancer commonly found in Indian cinema and popular culture. The article primarily focuses on Neelam Kumar's graphic memoir, To Cancer, with Love: A Graphic Novel (2017), while also engaging with its prose counterpart, To Cancer, with Love: My Journey of Joy (2015). The article investigates Kumar's subversion of conventional narratives of illness and powerful counter-narrative to the dominant discourse on cancer in India. As one of the pioneering graphic pathographies from India, Kumar's memoir presents a transformative and empowering perspective on the experience of cancer, challenging the societal norms that often stigmatize the disease.

Graphic medicine is a burgeoning comics genre dealing with the experience of dementia through physical, and emotional issues. Through the medium of comics, graphic memoirs tease out how dementia operates formally and thematically. In this email interview, three graphic memoirists, Nigel Baines (author of Afloat), Rebecca Roher (author of Bird in a Cage) and Liza Futerman (author of Keeper of the Clouds), reflect on their nuanced understanding of dementia, their experience as caregivers, the challenges of dementia caregiving, and the potential of graphic medicine to convey such issues. The interview is divided into two sections: in Part I, titled Of Comics and Dementia, the authors respond to common questions related to dementia, personhood, dementia care, and graphic memoirs, among others, and in Part II, titled 'Tragedy not deep and sharp if it can be shared with friends': The Power of Storytelling, each of the authors responds to questions related to their respective dementia comics ARTICLE HISTORY
