Stopping by Woods on a snowy evening

Robert Frost is an American poet and he is known for his realistic depiction of rural life. Frost honored frequently during his lifetime, receiving four Pulitzer prizes for poetry. He became one of America's  rare public literary figures, almost an artistic institution.           Poem- Stopping by woods on a snowy evening Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with snow.    My little horse must think it queer    To stop without a farmhouse near    Between the woods and frozen lake    The darkest evening of the year.    He gives his harness bells a shake    To ask if there is some mistake.    The only other sound’s the sweep    Of easy wind and downy flake.    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,    But...

Modernist poems

Literary modernism , or  modernist literature , has its origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mainly in Europe and North America, and is characterized by a very self-conscious break with traditional ways of writing, in both poetry and prose fiction. (wikipedia) As the Gauri Kapoor one of the Research scholar at Delhi Uni. She says that... "The period witnessed two world wars, and that is what led to bursting of this bubble. The loss of human lives and property led to questions regarding the meaning of life. As an escape from the harsh realities that emerged in the aftermath of the wars, many modernist poets use myths in their poetry. Apart from this mainstream discourse on modernism, it is imperative to identify its underbelly. It was during the same time that women and working classes started demanding more rights. It is also the period during which many nationalist movements began in the colonies. The universalisation of human suffering that one finds in mod...

Thinking Activity on The Wasteland By T.S. Eliot

Here, I answered the questions of thinking activity. I'm sharing the link of my Sir's blog in which he asked questions... http://dilipbarad.blogspot.com/2014/10/presentations-on-ts-eliots-waste-land.html?m=1 THE WASTELAND By T.S.Eliot it shows the ruined image of society. The barreness of life and growth of only materialism leads toward the meaninglessness of life. 1) What are your views on the following image after reading 'The Waste Land'? Do you think that Eliot is regressive as compared to Nietzche's views? or Has Eliot achieved universality of thought by recalling mytho-historical answer to the contemporary malaise? Eliot stands for Regressive, backward looking as it tries to find answers of contemporary malaise in Upanishad, Buddhism and Christianity. On the other side Nietzche stands for progressvie and forward looking, in giving solution to the problem of contemporary crises in faith and self. In compared to Neitzche's thought, yes Eliot is...

Book Review of Kite Runner

Khaled Hosseini is an Afghan born American novelist and physician and he is famous for his three novels - Thousands Splendid Suns - And the Moutains Elchoed - The Kite Runner Recently I completed the Kite Runner, before the reading of Kite Runner, I don't know the defination or meaning of pain.. Pain of redemption... Pain of love in friendship... Pain for survival and better life... Is wonderfully captured by Khaled Hosseini. Begining is quite different than end, and in other words colors of fertility dried up in end. Author narrates about his own country Afghanistan , the land of Pashtuns . Pashtuns are the group of people they knows themselves as 'Pure & True Afghans'. They believe that flat nose people means other group of people which is known as Hazara are pollutes Afghans. Though in heart of Afghanistan Hope, Struggle, Chaos and Pride for what they have. In the books there is many lines through that we can understand or see boundries of orthodoxy...

Experience as a leader of Library committee.

Hello my Dear friends here i wanna express my views on last visit of our Maharaja Krishnkumarsinhji univesity' Maharaja Krishnkumarsinhji univesity s central library. First but bitter experience as leader of library committee in Department Of English. Library is always fascinating place for me, books always attract me. When sir declared my name as leader of our library, i feel happy but from the experiences of few days, i came to know that to be a good leader is not an easy task. Once we start reading literature we start feeling imagine world of authors around us and we get disappointed from overcast world around us...but, it is fact that Utopia is just dream. We can not change mentality of humans and it more tough with half educated people. This bitter experiance happens because i have greater expectations from you all but u failed me and proved again that don't expect anything from anyone but at this post gratuation level it is not my fault to expect a decent behaviour b...

'The Great Dictator' movie review

On the day of 30th June we saw a movie named ‘The Great Dictator’ this is Political satire comedy drama written, directed, produced and starring by Charlie Chaplin, this was his first true sound movie, released in 1940.  Time of movie is period between two world war, it’s reflect real picture of America. The technologization of the world and life has resulted in massive environmental and socio-political problems. Charlie plays a double roles first one is persecuted Jewish Barber and another is ruthless fascist dictator. Here the word fascist suggest that movie have very controversial condemnation of Adolf Hitler, Fascism and the Narsis. As fascist believe in liberal democracy and saw first world war as revolution, revolution which brought massive changes to the nature of war, society, the state and technology. In the very beginning of movie there is scene of war in which our hero Charlie, in role of Jewish barber fighting for his nation Tomania and unknowingly saves the life o...

Modern Times Movie Review

Mordern Times has been passed for universal exhibition As A.C.Ward says in Morden Literature, 'First fifty years of twentieth century the human race moved through a remarkable series of upheavals than during perhaps fifty generation in the past' It means growth of physical world and material progress can seen as Scientific revolution. Movie Morden Times is like pages of history, shows us real face of America. Ironically film opens with a note that  a story about the industry, individual initiative and the crusade of humanity in the pursuit of happiness”, and immediately after the scene of sheeps turn into workers emerging from a subway. Without any dialogue , a mum draws the perfact picture of last man's condition of that era. Clock is also symbol of industrilization that man is in under control of time, we can see in movie that charlie is working constalntly in rhythm for hours, and machine of automatic feeding is also symbol of saving time, that one can take lunch w...

Harry Potter 4

   Literature is an amazing thing… we know the fact and of course we know the right path for us but constantly we need to retain on this and literature, words of imagination words of hope and words of feelings makes it possible.  Human being takes literature as pills of hope, hope of better tomorrow.   Today I completed the book Harry potter Goblet of fire, a complete fantacy, story of imagine world of J.K Rowling, though readers hypnotize into words and start living in imagine world but eventually one can say that imagine world is seems to  our inner  world. After reading 1to last 641page I just want to say that, man needs hope in every situation problems of life is like Lord Voldemort and we are the harry potter of our life. जो  होना हे वह तो होकर रहेगा... और जब होगा तब उससे निबट लेना। (Last lines of book in mouth of Hegrid.)
