Self Observation Of Solitude ....

आखों में रहा दिल में उतरकर नहीं देखा,
कश्ती के मुसाफिर ने समंदर नहीं देखा ,
बेवक्त अगर जाउंगी सब चौंक पड़ेंगे ,
इस उम्र में दिन में कभी घर नहीं देखा,
जिस दिन से चली हूँ मेरी मंजिल पे नजर है ,
आँखों ने कभी मील का पत्थर नहीं देखा,
ये जो फूल है मुझे विरासत में ना मिले ,
किसी ने मेरा काँटों भरा बिस्तर नहीं देखा,
पत्थर मुझे कहते है मेरे चाहने वाले,
“मैं” मोम हूँ उसने मुझे छुकर नहीं देखा!
कश्ती के मुसाफिर ने समँदर नहीँ देखा ।
आँखो को देखा पर दिल के अन्दर नहीँ देखा ।
पत्थर समझते है मुझे मेरे चाहने वाले ।
हम तो मोम थे किसी ने छुकर नहीँ देखा । —

Free Without Freedom ....

મારી ચોતરફ
મેં કિલ્લો બાંધ્યો છે
મને મારી જાત થી બીક લાગે છે....
માટે જ સ્તો.......
(મને ખુલ્લું આકાશ બહુ જ આકર્ષે છે..)
રખે ને કોઈ આવે, ને મળે, ને ગમે....
ને અંદરની વાત જાણી જાય તો ???
બધા કહે છે:
શું ખૂટે છે તારે?
પણ, સાચું કહું!?
એક ફરિયાદ રહ્યા કરે છે..
પાપા એ
બધું જ આપ્યું
કરિયાવરમાં.....
બસ....
થોડું મારા હિસ્સાનું આકાશ પણ આપ્યું હોત ..........

My Childhood

Superb Poem !! Superb Poem...!!

My Childhood 


Ek bachpan ka zamana tha,
jisme khushiyon ka khazana tha;
chahat chand ko paane ki thi,
par dil titli ka deewana tha.
Khabar na thi kuch subah ki,
na shaam ka thikana tha;
thak haarke aana school se, par khelne bhi jaana tha.
daadi ki kahani thi, pariyon ka fasana tha;
barish mein kagaz ki naav thi, har mausam suhana tha.
Har khel mein saathi the, har rishta nibhana tha;
gum ki zuban na hoti thi, na zakhmon ka paimana tha.
Rone ki wajah na thi, na hansne ka bahana tha;
kyon ho gaye hum itne bade,
isse achha to woh bachpan ka zamana tha...

Short Learning Videos on Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads





Short Learning Videos on Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads 

 

  • What are the basic difference between the poetic creed of 'Classicism' and 'Romanticism'?
  • Why does Wordsworth say 'What' is poet? rather than Who is poet?
  • What is poetic diction? Which sort of poetic diction is suggested by Wordsworth in his Preface?
  • What is poetry?
  • Discuss 'Daffodils - I wandered lonely as a cloud' with reference to Wordsworth's poetic creed




Respected Sir,

                        As we discussed about Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads this all the videos help us a lot to understand the basic ideas of poetry that what is poetry, who is poet rather then what is poet and also about the language of poem that what should be the language of poem. 

                       First of all I want to clear this term that what is “Classicism” and what is “Romanticism”. Difference between this is that a romantic poem will be about love towards people while classical will be more old fashioned and be about other things. The romantic era was not about love at all. In fact it had nothing to do with romance of the conventional kind. It was imaginative and more related to democracy and nature than anything else. Had relations to human life, and was highly philosophical. It was most definitely not about love. The Classical age on the other hand was the complete opposite to the romantic age in some respects. It had no real interest in nature as it exists naturally. Satire and realism was present, as well as a strong union with politics. It was highly critical, unimaginative and intellectual as opposed to the spontaneity of the romantic age. The basic difference between the classicism and romanticism is that the former is based on intellect and the latter is based on imagination.

                       There is difference between Who and What. Generally we use that who is poet ?? means we connect poets identity with it that This person is poet or that person is poet like example Wordsworth is poet is answer of this question but when we speak What is poet ??? We cannot find answer of this question easily because this question ties with inner quality or strength of poet. That what qualities poet has to write some good poems and then he gives reply that poet is one who is a man speaking to man, endowed with more lively sensibility because everyone cannot create lively images in front of readers who real poets can do. 

                      From Wordsworth’s point of view Diction means choice of language, selection of words and arrangement of words with the help of emotions. He says that the language of poetry should be the language means language of day to day life who can understand by everyone but with the selection of proper words poet cannot use mean language or slang or wrong words for poetry. Language has power to create certain images in readers mind so use proper word so with the help of that word appropriate images can immerge for poetry. The word selected by the poet must fit to his imagination. If he is truly inspired, then his imagination will enable him to select from the language which is used by men in routine life.

                        According to Wordsworth What is poet,
He is a man speaking to men: a man, it is true, endued with more lively sensibility, more enthusiasm and tenderness, who has a greater knowledge of human nature, and a more comprehensive soul, than are supposed to be common among mankind; a man pleased with his own passions and volitions, and who rejoices more than other men in the spirit of life that is in him; delighting to contemplate similar volitions and passions as manifested in the goings-on of the universe, and habitually impelled to create them where he does not find them.”



And poetry means:-



"Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility". 

                                               In poetry we may find the idea of immediate truth and ultimate pleasure. Apart from meter and rhythm poetry is existence with the contradiction things. Poetry brings the whole soul of man, means in the poetry all the things are there that generally we may find in poem and important thing is harmony and arrangement of words. Poet is a man who is a genius, a special person, capable of re-articulating thoughts and feelings. He has a greater knowledge of human mind. With the help of this all the things we can say that “Poetry is the product of poet’s mind.”

                      Wordsworth’s ‘Daffodils - I wandered lonely as a cloud’ poem is written in very simple language. That’s why everyone can understand this poem very easily. Children also can understand this poem very easily that’s why this poem is in the syllabus of standard-  5 of English medium schools. And with the help of this we can say that language of this poem is very easy and exactly suitable for William Wordsworth’s poetic creed. In this poem as we can clearly see that the language used by him is simple one. The very first paragraph of the poem is written in the past tense and the last paragraph of the poem is written in the present tense. Means he was recollecting the spontaneous overflow in tranquility. He go to near to the nature and open his heart and start receiving and then he try to learn whatever he can and then create this wonderful poem.     
                                        Thank You ………

Review of movie : 'Hamlet'





Hamlet (1996 Film)

                               By Kenneth Branagh


Review of movie : 'Hamlet'


Hamlet movie by Kenneth Branagh



Respected Sir
                     
                   First of all I want to thank you about this movie screening of ‘Hamlet’ Movie that these movie or audio visual things affect more than any work of text. First of all I want to say that personally I don’t like movies or any TV Shows or serials because I prefers any book or written text more than any movie works but my aspect of this thing is totally changed after this movie screening and I realise one thing that movie or any audio visual thing also can effect same as textual work but only thing is that how this movie is related with real text or how movie is as powerful as real text or how much this movie is authentic to this text. 


                 But I want to say that this movie version of ‘Hamlet’  by Kenneth Branagh  is very authentic to real text and after watching this movie I want to say one thing that


“ Text gives us freedom to imagine whatever we want to imagine, but movie or audio visual thing bound our imagination into box only because of this thing that they gives related picture to situation.”


But one more thing is there that our pictures or imagination gets pure outcome or perfection in movie or audio visual thing and our idea or situation is more understandable  or more clear than earlier they are. And after this experience I want to experience this thing again that’s why I read real text of  Frankenstein and then I watched movie based on Frankenstein that is  Mary Shelley's Frankenste in 1994  and after that I realise or experience one thing that when I read word ‘Monster’ that time I imagine so many faces of monsters and when I watched movie that time I realise that here in this movie monster is so innocent like newly born baby and he has no knowledge or doesn’t know anything about this world so after watching this movie this picture of 'Monster' is more clear in my mind from the perspective of this novel. So after this experience I can say that this movies or audio visual things also ca helps us for understanding of text but the only equation is that how much this movies are authentic to real works or text otherwise it’s creates hurdles or problems to understand the real works or real text.

                  Now I want to say that I enjoyed a lot this movie ‘Hamlet’ by Kenneth Branagh and I want to say that this movie is authentic version of the play Hamlet’ by William Shakespeare.


                Here I try to pick out some points from this movie and those points are like this I given below :-


1.    First of all I want to say that this movie is very authentic one to the real play of ‘Hamlet’ by William Shakespeare because in this movie director of this movie Kenneth Branagh  follows all the scene and sequence of the real play and cause and effects does his work as like a chain of plot. As in the real play sequence is followed same as the movie sequence is followed by director and I want to like give you example that


Ex:- In the play by William Shakespeare play begins with the apparition of Ghost  and in the movie also start with the apparition of the Ghost. So, we can say that this movie is authentic version of the real play of William Shakespeare.


But I also want to say that in this movie Kenneth Branagh  changes the setting of the movie because in movie there is no setting of 11th centuries setting and clothes of character is also differs then real play.


 

2.  Yes, when I watched this movie my thoughts about the female character of this play who is Ophelia is changed in some of the ideas that before this movie I don’t understand this character as I understand her character after watching this movie because I realise that Ophelia is a victimized character of this play.

 

3.  Yes, I feel ‘aesthetic delight’  when I watched this movie in the very beginning part of the movie I feel delight when Ghost is appear and at the end of this movie I feel aesthetic delight because of end of the tragedy and poetic justice  by the writer at the end.


4.  Yes, I feel ‘catharsis’ in this movie at the beginning of the play when Price Hamlet speaks his first soliloquy and whenever he bourns out his anger, second time when he angry on Ophelia and last when this play is end and no one is alive everyone is dead  at that time I feel catharsis.


5.   Yes, screening of movie is helps me a lot in better understanding of the play as I said above that that our pictures or imagination gets pure outcome or perfection in movie or audio visual thing and our idea or situation is more understandable or more clear than earlier they are. After this movie screening I realise one thing that movie or any audio visual thing also can effect same as textual work but only thing is that how this movie is related with real text or how movie is as powerful as real text or how much this movie is authentic to this text.


6.   There are so many scenes or moment in the movie that I will cherish lifetime. Example like Nunnery scene, first soliloquy of prince Hamlet, bed chamber scene of price Hamlet and his mother when Hamlet treats his mother very rudely and with cruelty, grave digging scene of Ophelia, and last scene when prince Hamlet is died. I want to cherish this all the scenes life time.


7.   If I got chance to direct this movie ‘Hamlet’ I would like to change character of Ophelia and I don’t characterised her character as victim of male domestic society, I portrait her character as strong as Hamlet’s character and I remove some of the boring parts of this movie who is not important in this movie as per my aspect.


8.  In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the statue of King Hamlet outside the Elsinore castle. The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the statue of the King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. It is the symbol of circle of life that anything is starting with thing that thing also end with same thing this is call circle of life or nature. In this movie also movie start with the statue of king Hamlet and also end with that between this time movie work throughout the story and story starts and ends with same kind. We also have to do is joining the dots between this circle or starting or ending.


9.   While studying the play through movie, I think that from my aspect psychological approach is more appropriate than any other because I think that this play is all about “Madness of Prince Hamlet” and about the question of killing his self or committing suicide that famous quote that “To be or not to be, that is the question”  so from my aspect this psychological approach is more appropriate than any other approaches.


10.                    I think that there is this approach Textual Analysis is more appropriate than any other approaches in this Pre-viewing task because this is all about understanding of text so I think that in this Pre-viewing task this approach Textual Analysis  is more appropriate or appeals more than any other approaches.



                  Thank you sir for this beautiful Movie Screening of ‘Hamlet’ movie by Kenneth Branagh, Based on William Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’. We enjoyed a lot and got new experience  of teaching – learning process with the help of audio visual things.

 

                                      Thank You ....
