Sarojini Naidu's 'the bangle seller 'is rich in poetic devices like alliteration Simile ,Metaphor, rhyme scheme and repetitions. alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds for example Gods at her husband's side. simile is a comparison between two different things actions of feelings using the words as a like for example flushed like the buds. metAphor is comparison between the similar things to bring out some quality for example tranquil brow of Woodland dream. rhyme scheme of the poem has four stanzas and each having three pairs of rhyming lines and repetition the word 'some' has been repeated 6 times in the poem.

THE HEAVEN OF FREEDOM:TAGORE

Tagore does not talk of political freedom, for him political or economic freedom is not real freedom .real freedom is not of the body it is of the mind, of the heart and of the soul. we can't be truly free if you have narrow mind and cowardly hearts .according to Tagore true freedom lies in mental ,moral and spiritual freedom, that is why he wants his country to be free from the narrow considerations of cast, colour and Creed. he visualizes a country that is free from all evils .the poet wants his countrymen to be Fearless they should be able to hold their heads high with honour .the poet wants his country to be a place where knowledge is free and people live in love and Unity. but sadly reality is quite the opposite, instead of being perfect people have become the slaves of all sorts of evils .every man remains ready to cut each other's throat. knowledge is not yet free poet has use alliteration that is the repetition of consonant sounds for instance 'the head is held high'. poet has used repetition, assonance and rhyme in his poetry .assonance is the repetition of identical similar vowel sounds .rhyme is the similarity or sameness of the last word sound in a line of a poem.

TIME ONCE LOST CAN NEVER BE RECALLED:YEATS

when you are old "is a poem addressed to the poet's beloved Maud gonne. the poet pictures his beloved in old age she will become old and grey she will keep sitting most of the time but the fireside and will have a book of the poet's poems on her lap. she will realise that it was only the poet who love the beauty of her soul he didn't love me I leave the beauty of her body the poet's love for her would remain as intense as ever. "but one man loved the pilgrim soul in you and loved The Sorrows of your changing face". the poet says that in old age she will realise there could be many who loved her beauty truely or falsely but there was one who continued loving her even in her old age he loved not only the movements of glad Grace but also The Sorrows of a changing face. He loved not only her body but also the pilgrim soul in her. the poet does underline the significance and the role of time in one's life. time once lost can never be recalled therefore one must take one's decisions very thoughtfully so that one has not to repent later. youth is the time of beauty joy and strength. old age is a time of pain and sorrow. the poet presents old age a period of desolation only a true lover stands by a person even in his old age.

THE TYRANNY PRIDE AND GREED IS IN SHARP CONTRAST TO THE GOOD NATURE:BROWNING

My Last Duchess is a fine specimen of dramatic monologue. the silent listener is the messenger of a count whose daughter the Duke in tends to wed. the Duke reveals his egotistical and possessive nature . That's My Last Duchess painted on the walls as the Duke in the very first line of the poem. through this Duke reveals his jealousy when he says that it was not her husband's presence only that called as what of joy into the duchess 's cheek'. he reveals Heartless cruelty when he says I gave commands then all Smiles stopped together. is diplomacy becomes clear his hypotheses scene when he says that the counts fair daughter and not the dowry his main object. the image of a sweet beautiful simple hearted and innocent girl at one springs alive before our eyes .she was indeed too good for the detestable beastly Duke there is a deep irony also when the Duke says about his demand for dowry irony means a contradiction between what is said and what is meant or is expected.

TRANSIENCE AND PERMANENCE: KEATS

Art symbolises both beauty and truth: 'beauty is truth, truth beauty'. life is transient while art is permanent. keats present a contrast between art and life. wildlife is transit Re art is permanent the grecian urn is a work of art. the poet is wondering over the requisite beauty of the urn he is looking at. he calls it the 'unravished bride of quietness ','The foster child of silence and slow time' and 'a sylvan historian'. there are pipers and musicians carved on it .there is a picture of young boy singing a song, trees that will never shed their leaves and a sacrificial scene in which a priest is leading a calf to be sacrificed at the altar . the poet calls this beauty of art the real truth as it will remain a source of everlasting joy. Art is a friend to man because it transports man to a word of endless joy and beauty there is a love scene carved on the surface of the urn. the sculptor has immortalized both the beauty of the beloved and the intensity of the love . does it is shown that art is permanent and forever true.:

Getting and spending we lay waste our powers :WORDSWORTH

Little we see in nature that is ours; we have given our hearts away ,a sordid boon The world is too much with us .It is a criticism of life in this modern mechanical world. the poem laments the fact that people have become too materialistic and indifferent to the beauties of nature. They have given their hearts away to the god of money and lost all interest in the beauties of nature. the beautiful scenes of nature don't move them. He believed that all the ills of word are a result of man's disassociation from nature. Man has become a worshipper of mammon, he says that he would rather be a pagan then be a Christian ,if he were a pagan he could experience the presence of Gods and Goddesses in nature .he could see Proteus rise from the sea and hear Triton blow his wrathed horn. Wordsworth was a great lover of nature. Thus the poet has used Greek mythology. The world is indeed too much with us.

THE PATHS OF GLORY LEAD BUT TO THE GRAVE: ENJOY THE PRESENT :THOMAS GREY

The boast of heraldry, the pump of power ,the beauty of the body and the wealth of material possessions can't save anyone from death .Death is a great leveller. It spares none. It is the biggest fact of life which one can't deny .Everyone high or low, rich or poor or whatever cast of creed on whatever reason or religion, has to go to death one day or the other .There is a poem called elegy written in a country churchyard by Thomas Grey that pays tribute and respect to the Dead By fulfilling the only Desire they had before their deaths and their Desire is universally common. It is desired to be remembered after death .He wants to see some pious tears in the eyes of the person. He is starting from the desire to be remembered lives even after that, even the Ashes lying under the Tomb animated with their Desire .The poet calls this desire the voice of nature. the poet remembers his friend that died young. thus the paths of Glory lead but to the grave so pompous attitude is short lived.

Know than thyself:ALEXANDER POPE

"know then thyself, presume not got to scan; the proper of study of mankind is man." Man has attained great knowledge of the material world .He thinks that he has become wiser than God. But if a man looks into himself he has failed to discover the truth about himself. He knows all other things but he does not know himself. Thus the poet calls man a curious riddle .According to pope the root of man's confusion lies in the fact that man does not try to know himself ,he is not certain about what he is. Analysing man's character poet says that man is a curious paradox .poet has used starting paradoxes as the man does not know whether he should consider himself God or a beast whether he should prefer his mind or body. He is created half to rise and half to fall and he himself is the prey to all. He is both the glory and the jest of the world. The poet has used repetition also and the poet has these techniques successfully .The point he wants to drive home to The Reader is that the proper study of man is man himself. He reminds the Reader again and again that man does not know what or who he himself is but he tries to scan the ways of God. There is the poet's use of heroic couplets which convey his ideas in short.

Receptacle of beauty is at a higher pedastel than beauty itself :SHAKESPEARE

Shakespeare has written Sonnet 18th .It is made up of fourteen lines and it has three quatrains and a concluding couplet. A thing of beauty is a joy forever says Keats. Shakespeare puts the receptacle of beauty at a higher pedestal than beauty itself. Shakespeare admits that we have lovely flowers in month of May but he adds that every fare from fair sometime declines .Every living and nonliving thing is subject to death and decay. the poet exerts that the beauty of his friend shall never decay and the poet is certain that his verses will live forever and through them the beauty of his beloved friend. the poet here too strives to establish his own credentials . More than his friend he pays tribute to his own poetic talent and there is a touch of vanity also. the poet never says that his friend will Live eternally rather he says that his lines are eternal .If we discuss about the permanence and transience the poet is mainly talking about transience, the poet compares the shoddiness of all other things with the matchless quality of the poet's verses. The poet uses personification in the line "Nor shall death brag", alliteration in the line "And every fair from fair" , also discusses metaphor. Sonnet ends with the couplet. "so long as men can breathe aur eyes can see ,so long lives this and this gives life to thee".

DEALING WITH CRITICISM

HOW TO DEAL WITH CRITICISM

HOLA ALL,

CRITICISERS TEACH YOU,WHO YOU NEVER WANT TO BECOME.THEY TEACH YOU PATIENCE IMPROVES YOUR PERSONALITY ,MAKES YOU MATURE

YOU GET TO KNOW THAT NOBODY PRAISES ANYONE.THEY CRITICISE OUT OF JEALOUSY,THEIR OWN INSECURITY ,SOME PAIN THEY ARE GOING THROUGH,SOME STRESS THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM.

STOP SITTING WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE CRITICISING YOU ALL THE TIME AS IT DOES AFFECT THE MIND

UNDERSTAND ,IF SOMEBODY IS CRITICISING YOU,THAN YOU MUST HAVE IMPACTED SOMEWHERE THAT MEANS YOU OUTSTAND ALL THAT’S WHY THEY ARE STILL THINKING ABOUT YIOU.THINK ABOUT IT THEY ARE ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR QUALITIES THAT SIMPLY MEANS YOU ARE NOTICEABLE .BEST OF LUCK BEST REGARDS

HURT WITH SOMEONES BUSY ATTITUDE?

DOES PEOPLE HURT YOU SAYING I AM TOO BUSY

 TEXTING  THAT I AM BUSY IS JUST A WAY TO EXPRESS   THAT PEOPLE ARE UNABLE  TO TALK AT THE MOMENT

WE HAVE MADE CONNECTIONS AND UNFORTUNTELY HAVE CONNECTED OUR HAPPINESS WITH PEOPLE AROUND ,GRADUALLY YOUR HAPPINESS IS COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON THEM AND YOU ARE STUCK AND DEPRESSED BECAUSE OF THIS WRONG DOING OF CONNECTING THINGS DEEPLY.

MAKE IT CLEAR THAT YOU ARE HAPPY BECAUSE OF YOU NOBODY ELSE ,YOUR HEART THAT IS HAPPY WITH PEOPLE RESIDES IN YOUR BODY ,YOUR MIND THAT IS IN JOY AND PEACE WITH PEOPLE ,THAT MIND IS A PART OF YOUR BODY

HOW COME YOUR HAPPINESS BE WITH PEOPLE? THINK ABOUT IT.

COMMUNICATION IS VERY IMPORTANT ,YOU NEED TO EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS IRRESPECTIVE OF THE FACT WHAT THEY WILL THINK AS IT IS IMP. FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW , WHAT IS KILLING YOU FROM INSIDE ,DON’T TELL THEM AS IF YIU ARE BLAMING THEM BUT DO SAY IN A VERY FORMAL,CASUAL AND LIGHT WAY SO THAT THE PERSON IN FRONT UNDERSTANDS WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH

BUT IF SOMEONE IS TOO BUSY TO RESPOND FOR DAYS ,EVEN THROUGH MAILS OR MESSages than never disturb them again.SAY I ACCEPT IT .ITS OKAY I MOVE ON IN LIFE AS SIMPLE AS THAT AS MY HAPPINESS IS MINE NOT ANYBODYS.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEARING AND SAYING

NO ONE HEARS,EVERY ONE SAYS, IS IT OKAY?

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST IS REALLY MEANT ,ALL AROUND IS CUT THROAT DEBATES,ARGUMENTS, CRITICISM AND OFCOURSE KILLING COMPETITION ,IT LAYS PEOPLE LITERALLY DROWN INTO WORK WITH PERSISTENCE

    IT HAS BECOME A GENERAL TENDENCY WITH PEOPLE OF NOT HAVING PATIENCE,WHEN PEOPLE GUIDE OTHERS THERE ARE ONLY MEMES,SATIRES AND CRITICISM.

BETTER WILL BE TO SAY NOBODY SHOULD EXPECT FROM ANYONE EVEN IF IS THE GUIDE OR THE SEEKER

PEOPLE DO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES BUT UNABLE TO TAKE UNWANTED CHAOIS BECAUSE OF THE INFLICTED PAIN IN TODAYS ERA LIVING THE CURRENT LIFESTYLE

PEOPLE NEED POSTIVITY FROM EVERY SPHERE

IT’S A BITTER TRUTH AND NO ONE IS EXCEPTION  EVEN IF YOU GO FOR SOME SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE

BEST REGARDS

REPURCURSIONS OF CRITICISM

DOES POSITIVE CRITICISM TOO MAKE PEOPLE YOUR ENEMY

HOLA ALL, NOW A DAYS PEOPLE HAVE DISSATISFACTION IN THEIR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIVES IT IS FULL OF DISGUST

FOR THE SAKE OF SOCIETY NORMS PEOPLE DO BEHAVE LIKE A SOCIAL ANIMAL AND ASK FOR CRITICISM AND FEEDBACK

 BUT THEY ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO TAKE THINGS FREELY .THEY ARE FILLED WITH NEGATIVE VIBES AND DISTRUST DUE TO DECEPTIONS THAT THEY ATTAIN FROM PEOPLE  THAT THEY FRANKLY FEEL HATREDNESS FROM INSIDE FOR PEOPLE WHO TELL THEIR DEMERITS.

SITUATIONS ARE NOT PERFECT,THINGS ,PEOPLE ,LIFE TOO IS IMPERFECTIVELY PERFECT.

DISCONNECTION AND LEADING

IS DISCONNCTION IMP.TO LEAD?

DISCONNECTION IS IMP.TO LEAD IN LIFE BUT WE NEED TO RETHINK THAT ,DO WE  NEED TO DISCONNECT WITH PEOPLE OR THE VIBES PEOPLE HAVE AROUND WHAT WE CALL ENERGIES THAT CAN BE NEGATIVE TOO.

WE NEED POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND DISCONNECTIONS FROM THE FRUSTRATIONS That do generate AFTER SOME FAILURE .

THE CONSTANT THINKING OF FAILURES NEED TO BE DISCONNECTED, OVER JUDGEMENT,OVER EXPECTATIONS AND ANGER SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED AND FOR THAT WE NEED  NOT BE RUDE OR BOSSY BUT TO STAY MORAL

LIFE SHOULD BE AIM ORIENTED NOT PEOPLE ORIENTED

LEADING PERSONALITIES HAVE THE CONSTANT REMINDER OF BEIN G PERFECT AND THEY ARE SOMETIMES THE MOST HATED ONES TOO.

CREATIVITY IS POSSIBLE THROUGH LIBERAL BELIEFS. WE SHOULD APPRECIATE THE SMALL LITTLE EFFORTS THAT PEOPLE DO FOR ACHIEVING SOMETHING IN LIFE

PERFORMANCES ENHANCE WHEN WE FREE OUR MINDS FROM NEGATIVE INDULGENCE .IT IS ENHANCED WHERE NO DISCUSSION AND CRITICISM STANDS AGAINST THE PATH OF SUCCESS.

 TO LEAD WE NEED TO BE A ROLE MODEL FOR PEOPLE OTHERWISE PEOPLE DON’T BOTHER AT ALL.
