《2》 What is the ritual  around  such celebrations ?

Answer:  

Holi rituals include  Holika Dahan. Hiranyakashipu's own son, Prahlada, however, disagreed. He was and remained devoted to Vishnu.This infuriated Hiranyakashipu. He subjected Prahlada to cruel punishments, none of which affected the boy or his resolve to do what he thought was right. Finally, Holika, Prahlada's evil aunt, tricked him into sitting on a pyre with her. Holika was wearing a cloak that made her immune to injury from fire, while Prahlada was not. As the fire roared, the cloak flew from Holika and encased Prahlada,survived while Holika burned. Vishnu, the god who appears as an avatar to restore Dharma in Hindu beliefs, took the form of Narasimha.

The Holika bonfire and Holi signifies the celebration of the symbolic victory of good over evil, of Prahlada overHiranyakashipu, and of the fire that burned Holika.

Festival of Colors.Religion, bonfires and an abundance of colored chalk.India's Holi Festival could just be one of the world's most beautiful celebrations.

Click here and watch this video

The word Holi derives its name from Holika. According to Hindu mythology, Holika was the sister of demon King Hiranyakashyapu.As per the legend, Prahlad, a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu, Prahlad was born to Hiranyakashyapu. Prahlad’s devotion to lord Vishnu did not go down well with his father. As a result of this, Hiranyakashyapu tried to kill his son several times, but the Vishnu devotee escaped unhurt every time, frustrating the demon king.After numerous unsuccessful attempts, the demon king thought of taking help from his sister, Holika, who had a boon by Lord Brahma which said she would not be burnt in a fire.As per the myth, Holika had a shawl which would protect her from the flames of a fire. The demon king asked her sister to take Prahlad on her lap and set the two on fire. Prahlad kept chanting the name of Lord Vishnu and as the fire got intense, a gust of wind removed the shawl from Holika and went on to cover Prahlad, killing the enchantress in the flames.

Another myth says that Kansa, uncle of lord Krishna, feared that according to a prophecy, the evil king would be killed by his sister’s son Krishna. In order to protect himself from Krishna, Kansa sent Putna to kill his nephew, who was an infant. The plan was to poison him under the guise of breast-feeding. But what transpired was shocking for Putna. Krishna not only sucked her poisonous milk, but her blood too. Fearing for her life, she ran but burst into flames. 

Sunday Reading: Arundhati Subramanian "When God Is a Traveller"

Hello readers!

Here on my blog.  This blog related to  Sunday Reading: Arundhati  Subramanian "When God Is a Traveller"

 ☆ INTRODUCTION  OF ARUNDHATI SUBRAMANIAN: 

  Arundhathi Subramaniam is an Indian poet, writer, critic, curator, translator, Journalist, writing in English.

 Arundhati Subramaniam won the award for her poetry collection ‘When God is a Traveller’ in English. Poet Arundhathi Subramaniam is among the 20 writers to receive the Sahitya Akademi Award for 2020, reported PTI. The National Academy of Letters announced the names on Friday at its annual ‘’Festival of Letters’’ event.

Khushwant Singh Memorial Prize for Poetry: On 25 January 2015, Arundhathi won the first Khushwant Singh Memorial Prize for Poetry for her work When God is a Traveller. The prize was announced as part of ZEE Jaipur Literature Festival.

☆ "When God Is a Traveller"

Arundhati Subramaniam

 (wondering about Kartikeya/ Muruga/ Subramania, my namesake)

 Trust the god back from his travels, his voice wholegrain (and chamomile), 

his wisdom neem, his peacock, sweaty-plumed, drowsing in the shadows.

 Trust him who sits wordless on park benches listening to the cries of children fading into the dusk, 

his gaze emptied of vagrancy, his heart of ownership.

Trust him who has seen enough— revolutions, promises, the desperate light of shopping malls, hospital rooms, manifestos, theologies, the iron taste of blood, the great craters in the middle of love. 

Trust him who no longer begrudges his brother his prize, his parents their partisanship. 

Trust him whose race is run, whose journey remains, who stands fluid-stemmed knowing he is the tree that bears fruit, festive with sun.

 

Trust him who recognizes you— auspicious, abundant, battle-scarred, alive— and knows from where you come. 

Trust the god ready to circle the world all over again this time for no reason at all other than to see it through your eyes.

I should say that I understood it without properly understanding. Some level of complex texture is involved in her works which I feel is the one which makes a good poetry.A love for language and a knack for fusing disparate realities is evident in Arundhathi Subramaniam's new collection of poems.

These are poems of wonder and precarious elation, about learning to embrace the seemingly disparate landscapes of hermitage and court, the seemingly diverse addresses of mystery and clarity, disruption and stillness - all the roadblocks and rewards on the long dangerous route to recovering what it is to be alive and human.Wandering, digging, falling, coming to terms with unsettlement and uncertainty, finiteness and fallibility, exploring intersections between the sacred and the sensual, searching for ways to step in and out of stories, cycles and frames - these are some of the recurrent themes.

These poems explore various ambivalences - around human intimacy with its bottlenecks and surprises, life in a Third World megapolis, myth, the politics of culture and gender, and the persistent trope of the existential journey.

Arundhathi Subramaniam's previous book from Bloodaxe, Where I Live: Selected Poems (2009), drew on her first two books published in India plus a whole new collection. When God Is a Traveller is her fourth collection of poetry.

‘A sense of wonder and striking contrasts pervade the Indian poet’s fourth collection. The sacred meets the everyday, cerebral wordplay delivers full-blooded emotion, and ancient Hindu myths run alongside contemporary urban life. Breathtaking in scope, taking in religious faith, friendships, love affairs and existential themes.

In 'When God is a Traveller', Subramaniam weaves metaphors, metaphors that are distinctly hers, into language that is simultaneously fluid and simple. Everydayness is woven as a metaphor rife with allusions to the deeper meanings of life.The allusions of Hinduism do leave scope for criticism.

And she has just come out with an anthology of Bhakti Poetry (Penguin) oddly entitled Eating God. (My advice: eat veggies, don't eat gods). She also has a wallet-sized book on the Buddha.The Hindu ‘… a strong personality and an individual voice; her poems feel as if they are meant to be read aloud as well as on the page.’ Bruce King, Journal of Postcolonial Literature ‘Few poets capture contradictory impulses so convincingly

These are poems of wonder and precarious elation, and all the roadblocks and rewards on the long dangerous route to recovering what it is to be alive and human.

        "The Monkey's Paw" is the supernatural and powerful short story. The first published in England. In the collection  'The lady of the Barge' in 1902.

There are three major character

  - Herbert white
  - Mrs. White
  - Mr. White
 
          The whole paly took place in the living room of white family. Their home is quite old fashion but comfortable for living. The story started with  Mr. White and his son Herbert are playing chess. And his wife doing some household works. Her wife watching that enjoying movement. We can see they live a happy life.

       One day a heavy wind and that heavy wind bring a Strom in Mr. White family. An old friend of Mr. White’s comes to visit them.  He come to them for a social meeting. He share some experience about some Indian Fakirs. Who  put his all power in Monkey's paw. So that paw become powerful it can fulfill three persons three wishes. Herbert laughed on and ask 

    You have had your three wishes?
      
         Jacobs uses foreshadowing, imagery and symbolism in this story to explore the consequences of tempting fate. Sargent said yes and warn them that might this monkey's paw fulfilled wishes but it also goes in negative effects also. He share experiences that the 1st owner of the Monkey's Paw had his three wishes were granted. But his last wish is death. Second owner is Sargent major himself. He also get his wishes but his experience is terrible. 

Sargent major throw that 

Mysterious monkey's paw in fire at that time Mr. White saved it and he and his son are convince to try it once. They want to find real mater and experience it. They wish is 

'I wish for two hundred pounds'

     The paw is twisted in his arm. Her mother tried to stop them. Herbert not believe in that type of superstition things. He say relax about it. Herbert went to his job. In the next morning one person came with a well-  dressed or introduce as a Mr. Sampson  from the electronic works. Sometimes happens in last night Herbert was laughing and wasn't notice and machine caught him. He was crushed by machine and he was dead.  Mr. Sampson was there for give them compensation he said 

" In consideration of your son's services company wish to parent you with a certain same as compensation. It was two hundred pounds."


      The Monkey's paw complete their condition. It fulfilled wishes but take something from you . Rules of given and taken. After a few days Mrs. White  remember that they have two wishes still left.  She request to her husband to give a wishes. He was a helpless about it and so he wishes 

' I  wish my son alive again'

     After some time there was knocked on the door in the middle of the night. They are sure it is Herbert. He remembers that Herbert was mangled beyond recognition in the accident and he knows the corpse has been rotting for 10 days.  He is sure that the knocking is coming from Herbert’s corpse, and not from a Herbert who has been brought back to life as he was before the accident. We don't know what is the third wish of them. Mrs. White took on the monkey's paw   and frantically breathed his third and last wish. The knocking stopped suddenly, though it still echoed in the house.Mr. White wished for his son to return to the dead and that the consequence of his wish was that Herbert did. The happy family turned into a tragic death.

     Human emotions are also well described in this play. All human beings have a some lust about different things. It is a natural of all human and it is a handful to ourselves. So this is a moral of the story. Any shortcuts are harmful. 

    

A prayer for My daughter

A prayer for my daughter by W.B yeats

Willam butler yeats was an illustration Irish Irish poet writer and playwright. he was a staunch irish nationalist who continued to espouse this cause  all his life this poem was written by its when Anne was a tender  infant. He express his love and concern for anne. The first world war head just drawn to close leaving earth trail of death and destruction on Europe. Inside Ireland there was a large waves of Irish nationalism and capitalism life was hard in Ireland at that time went , unrest and discontent make life hard for ordinary citizens. There was of frustration against and fear. Yeat did not escape this air if despondency. In this backdrop . This poem for a little baby whom he love so much as he symbolised Ireland as a baby. And England as a nationalist perspective and also he satirised modern civilization.


     The poem start with the description of his daughter as she is sleeping in cradle.  The cradle is symbol for the protection. And Strom symbolised as difficult time. The tone is gloomy, precarious, and frightening, as well as didactic  The poem line is

“ Once more the Strom is howling and half hid under this cardlehood and coverlid my child sleeps on.”

       In this line poet shows worry about his daughter. And he gives advice to her that she faced difficulties in life. There are follow a skilful description of the kind of beauty. It’s not a exclusive beauty. He knows too much beauty in a woman will lead her in danger. He knows fabulous beauty goes with an empty mind. The poet wish and prayers that his daughter maybe granted moderate beauty. The other wish that   his daughter grown up like a laurel tree.

     The poet continues on to comment on his hopes for her beauty: “May she be granted beauty and yet not.” His vacillation is that beauty in women sometimes brings disasters. For example, some such people have a difficult time choosing the right person as a life partner, and neither they can “find a friend.” The speaker lays emphasis on the need for feminine innocence. The poet advances his argument in the next stanzas by citing examples of beautiful women such as Helen of Troy, whose beauty was said to be the cause of the Trojan War. By the end, the poet wants his daughter to be courteous, as love cannot come unconditionally and freely. She must earn love with good efforts and kind-heartedness, and she cannot win it by merely physical beauty because “Hearts are not had as a gift but hearts are earned.” Summing up his theme, the poet wishes his daughter to possess such qualities that could help her face the future years confidently and independently.

The Imagination : I. A. Richards

The Imagination : I. A. Richards

The imagination I. A. Richard

       Literary criticism has found itself as an important and independent branch in established New horizon. Number of scholar have emerged as a critiques and interpreted literature in order to help a common considerate as 'the father of new criticism'. I.A.richard has contributed in the development of literary criticism by his destination essay like his practical criticism four type of meaning imagination and many other. At present we want concerned with his view on the imagination.

Six sense of imagination

     According I.A. Richards we can define third term imagination at least in six distinct senses. Hi discuss various meaning and concept of the same term and then considered a particular concept the most important. I.A. Richards, it is  convenient to. separate then before passing on to consider the work which is most important.
- Production of image
- The use of figurative language
- The narrower sence
- Inventiveness imagination
- Scientific imagination
- The sense of musical delight

Production of imagination

     In the first concept of imagination is a very common and that is the production of various image usually visual image. The production of various image and visual image are the most commonest and the most interesting thing which is reflected by imagination.

The use of figurative language

   Another concept of imagination is the use of figurative language. People who naturally employee metaphor and simile especially when it is of an unusual kind are same to have imagination. It should not be overloaded that metaphor and simile are the Two which may be considerate together. They have great variety of function of speech. This is the most common scientific use of metaphor full stop it is in imagenative language and in poetry. An example 
       Shelly’s “dome of many coloured glass”

  It is only example which spread to mind. some attitude of speaker to his subject or to his audience is using the metaphor as a tool of expression. Gibbon said..

‘ the freedom of waiting has indeed Proval a strict tribe but as I was safe from the stings I was soon accustomed to the buzzing of the honest.’

There a review metaphors whose effect can be traced to the logic reaction. Metaphor is a method by which the great variety of element can be brought into the experience.

The narrower sense

    A narrower sense is that in which sympathetic reproduction of other people's state of mind. Particularly there emotional state of mind is imagination can be found in plays. The dramatist say that the critique things that is a person behave unfortunately.

“ you haven’t enough imagination”.

This kind of imagination is plainly a necessity for communication bed play to be successful require it as much as good plays.

Inventiveness imagination

   It is an another important science stop it bring the element together which are not connected according to this 'Edison' is said to have imagination and any fantastic romance will show it in 'Excelsis'. Crazy people will beat any of us at combine odd Idea.

The scientific imagination

    Fifth concept according to I.A. Richards is the scientific imagination. This is an order of experience in definite experience in   definite ways and for purpose not necessarily deliberated and conscious. But limited to a given field. The technical victory of the art are the examples of this kind of imagination.

The sense of musical delight ( Coleridge)

    Finally we come to the sense of imagination with which we are here most concerned. It is a closely connected with the Coleridge's concept of imagination. It is Coleridge's  great contribution to critical theory . In his words imagination means..

‘ the sympathetic and magical power to while we have exclusively appreciate the name is imagination'
  It is a sense of novelty and freshness with old and familiar object a more than usual state of emotion with more that usual order. The sense of musical delight and modified a series of thought by someone pre- dominant thought or feeling these are gifts of imagination.

Hardy tried to write feminist novel because during the time of this novel 1873 we con not find many novel on which female characters is a central character. As we see most of hardy's novel have settings of Wessex.

   The main plot of this novel grow out of characters and sub plot grows out natural situation. Bathsheba is a very beautiful and charming woman. Who promoted  byher vanity and pride, reject the proposal of marriage offered by Gabriel oak. But she think like she is a superior than Gabriel oak.  Nonetheless the immature Bathsheba overlooked the worthy Gabriel and become infatuated with Sargent Troy a philanderer.
Bathsheba marries with troy, although he is already involved with fanny. Bathsheba knows about his affairs with fanny. It is too late. Fanny and her child are already dead. And Troy desert her when Bathsheba is ready to accept her mistake in encouraging and marry him out of pity and duty.


     Hardy's view about life is essentially tragic caused by the hand of fate in human affairs. Sometimes fate operates through natural occurrence . In far from Madding crowd. Gabriel must work feverishly to protect Bathsheba 's harvest from a terrible Strom. Although Gabriel succeed in overcoming the fate of Strom. Bathsheba is not lucky and loss all his fortune through and occured of natural fate. Fate is responsible for Bathsheba's change in fortune as well.

     The plot of novel actually center on the fortunes and misfortunes of Gabriel oak. We can say that throughout her tribulations Bathsheba comes to really increasingly on her oldest and as the admits to herself, only real friend Gabriel. When he gives notice that he is learning her employ. She realises that how important he has become to her well- being.

    Basically the whole story is take place around Bathsheba and her love story . She is the only female and most important character of the novel. This is the story all about.
