Literary Petals

 

Book: Literary Petals






Direction: Focus on the lines of the poem. Because stanzas would come. NOT the summary or central idea type of questions.




Hind Ki Chadar-


Sri Guru Teg Bahadur: Background history, learn the cremation etc.


Border Guards


War and politicians are the reason of political boundaries. The sympathy of ally-soldier discussed here.


My Heart Leaps When I Behold


Unusual sensitivity to Nature. Happy to see 'Rainbow'. All age people are enthralled by looking at it. The Child is a Father of a man. Every object of nature, its beauty and quietness is secure with a sense of thought and emotion.


The Gambling Match


Yudhistar etc gambling. Important lines: Humiliation is a better medicine, but the honest man drinks it, and keeps his head clear. You are drunk with pride and greed. Beware.


The Quality of Mercy


Mercy is like the rain drops from the Heaven.

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes: Important lines.


The Fancy Dress Show


Hypocrisy, fake behaviour and so many masks. Actually: Hideous about their real selves. Excellent satire.

One a politician wears, other the fake 'gurus'. 'Window dressing' by false virtues.


The Eternal Why


Curiosity of a child irks parents. They finally say: "We cannot answer your eternal 'Whys!"


What Though the Field be Lost

Never give up attitude.

Better to rein in Hell than to serve in Heaven.


The Song of India


Nationalism, patriotism, Himalaya and Peninsula discussed here.



The Trees Fell Down


Procrastination to remove the tree blocking traffic.

Satire on politicians who come at the times of votes, but do nothing.


The World is full of Delirium of Hatred.


Hatred discussed. The World is full of Delirium of Hatred. RN Tagore wants a State free of evil, hatred and war.


Attacked by Pit Bull


"You gotta keep trying to do more than you thought you ever could."

Discussion about a daring fight put up and a charismatic mayor of Albama attacked by two ferocious dogs.


Slave? No Master


Humility is a great virtue. It is discussed here


The Unrest Desire


The desires of (love, anger etc.) discussed here. We suppress them temporarily but we are again instigated. We 'slap on our face'


The Boy who Broke the Bank


About a bank robbery. A businessman Seth Govind who was infamous for not paying to sweeter-boy. Nathu, a sweeper boy, was an innocent boy. Though he was poor, but he didn't dare to steal money. Cursed goondas who did robbery.


Still Life


After the breakup, the story of stillness yet not so still (yearning) emotions. Irony in the situation is presented here.


Is this the End?


Poet inspires the reader to venture forth into the unknown realms of spirituality much above the intellectual or physical bliss.


The Conjuror's Revenge


Sting in the tail type of story. A conjurer earned living by showing some tricks. However, a sharp-witted spectator ridiculed him: Oh: "He had it up his sleeve" remarks. He finally (Conjuror) succeeded in having last laugh and revenging himself full on the 'Quick Man'.


Guru


Talked about the hypocrisy and fake gurus. They loot people and have different faces while talking to foreigners (because they donate a lots of money:) Satirical remarks about their true nature.


A River Tern on the Ganga


Written by ex-PM ManMohan Singh. About the filthy and pathetic condition of River Ganga due to pollution and industrialisation. Need to balance economic growth with judicious environmental issues and concerns.


The Ant and the Grasshopper


Honest, painstaking, and disciplined people are sometimes less fortunate than those who eat, drink and make merry. The principle of poetic justice is, more than often, flouted by life."


A Psalm of Life


In the rallying depression the poet writes. However: celebration of life. Manifesto and philosophy of optimism.


Hymn of Swaraj


Invocation of full fledged swaraj is talked about. This song has been adopted as the morning prayer of Navodaya Schools by 'Navadoya Samiti'. In this there is intricate details pertaining to peninsula, Himalayas, age-old culture and heritage, temples-rock cut shrines. It touches upon the aspects of national life.
