IMWAYR- 23/05/16

IMWAYR 2015 logo
Hey guys! So I'm back with my second IMWAYR! It's hosted by Unleashing Readers and Teachmentortexts.
 This week I started, and finished Sparkling Cyanide by Agatha Christie. It was a very interesting story, and I really liked the ending of it! It's a must read for anyone who loves crime.
  I also finished Landline by Rainbow Rowell. I quite enjoyed it, although not as  much as I enjoyed Eleanor & Park. You can find my review here.


I started "A Little Love Song" by Michelle Magorian. It's interesting so far, although I wasn't very convinced by the synopsis. I picked it up because I was in dire need of a book!


   I'm still waiting to re-start The Zahir by Paulo Coelho. 

You can see I haven't read much this week. Vacations start on Wednesday, so hopefully my next IMWAYR post will have tons and tons of information! Happy Reading!

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

Coromandel Fishers by Sarojini Naidu

Hello! For this post I will be exploring another poem written by Sarojini Naidu, called "Coromandel Fishers". This poem can be taken as an allegory, for although it speaks to fishermen, it's metaphoric value speaks to the nation, and can be considered a wakening call for the people of our country. When I wrote about "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad", I mentioned that Sarojini Naidu was one of our freedom fighters, and believed greatly in the Swadeshi movement. Naidu reflects her passion for India in this poem.
