Sunday Reading : "Sairandhri" by Vinod Joshi

Vinod Joshi is a postmodern Gujrati poet, writer and critic. He was honoured with the Narsinh Mehta award, Sahitya Gaurav puraskar and Kalapi award.
Here Radio talk of poet Vinod Joshi. He introduced his latest poem “ Sairandhri”.


      This poem based on Mahabharata's Viratparv. His previous poem "SHIKHANDI” also taken from Mahabharata. This metrical poem was composed in prabandha from with seven cantos and forty-nine chapters. The main idea of his work is :

     Lost her real identity

   His poem based on the character of “ DRAUPADI” from Mahabharata.

  The interview of Vinod Joshi  by Jelam Hardik.

Vinod Joshi says :  “ મારી   સૈરન્ધ્રી  મહાભારતથી જુદી છે”.

       The poem is about women who lived with her hidden personality. So poet present the dilemma of woman’s real identity.

  This Interview start with poem line:' આપી આપીને તમે પીંછું આપો, રે સજન પાંખો આપો તો અમે આવીએ'.

   Sairandhri connected with identity. We all are live with hidden identity. we all have to manage ourselves in front of someone.  Sairandhri can be a symbol of the entire human race.  He also write “Geet” in 'Talapdi Gujrati'. He says language is applied. This poem written in combination of Sanskrit and Gujrati.

           We all know the incidence of 'Agyatvas' from Mahabharata. But here we see in a different way. Vinod Joshi describe the dilemma of Dropadi.   She is made a queen of hastinapur and how she lived as a sudeshnas's 'Dasi'. Even pandvo was there but she can not meet theme. She suffering a lot in one year. She is a Agnikanya. When is a Draupadi that time Krishna and bhim are able to help her but here she can not take any help from them. There no mention any mail and Krishna’s character only focused on Sairandhri. According to Vinod Joshi's poem shairendri loved 'Karna'. It is a imagination of poets mind. He said Sairandhri first love with Karna and second with Arjuna. And she maintain her feeling for Karna till her death. Karna also  lost his identity.

       Here we see Karna and Draupadi both are lived in hidden identity. It’s very interested matching between both of character. Even Mahabharata' s writer is not say anything about it. So poet like to portrayed Sairandhri in this way. Poet including a ' SWAYAMVAR' OF DRAUPADI. And  he write discretion of karna’s character and how Draupadi feel for Karna . It’s very interesting thing. Vinod Joshi used rhymes in this poem. Main theme of poem is lost original identity of Shairendri that’s way he choose that angle of Draupadi.


Thank you.

Doctor Faustus by Cristopher Marlowe

"Doctor Faustus" is the most famous play written by Christopher Marlowe. Christopher Marlowe  It's directed by Matthew Dunster  . The error of judgement I can see in this whole play. Here, I am going to discuss about four questions. Which is asked by our sir in class here, I'm attaching the blog link of task. 1.The Play director by Matthew Dunster for globe theater ends with this scene...What does it signify? Obviously, It's indeed a scene that when Lucifer is celebrating his marvelous victory in the end of the play. According to the Christian morality, when someone repenting upon their sin then God gives them forgiveness. But here in this play the Christian morality doesn't work. Here evil wins at the end of the play. In this whole play, we can see the full of wavering of Doctor Faustus. In the end of the play Lucifer wins in tempting Doctor Faustus with the help of Mephistophilis. In the last scene Doctor Faustus feels regret but it's too much...

Discourse on Purity of Blood and Harry Potter

' It's about the most insulting thing he could think of,' gasped Ron, coming back up. ' Mudblood's a really foul name for someone who was Muggle-born-you know, non-magic parents. There are some wizards - like Malfoy's family - who think they're what people call pure-blood.'                           - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets The term "pure-blood" refers to a family or individual without Muggle blood. The concept is generally associated with Salazar Slytherin. ¶   Blood purity is a concept in the fictional HarryPotter book series. It is a form of classprejudice and also has analogies to racism. ¶ Being born and raised by Death Eaters, young Malfoy works as a constant reminder throughout the seven books about the racial issue, and his little hints and nasty comments are a preparation for what is to come in the last book. Harry, who is born by magical parents but raised by his Mu...
