Winter 2017 Comment Challenge (March)

Hey guys! I'm really excited to share with you that I'm signing up for a challenge this March. The Winter 2017 Comment Challenge is hosted by Alicia @ A Kernel of Nonsense and Lonna @FLYLeF. The host blogs pair you with another blogger who has similar interests, and from there you are encouraged to comment on your partner's blog a certain number of times for that month. 

 I'm signing up for the March Challenge, and I intend to comment on my partner's blog 5+ times. I don't know who my partner is yet- I'll be assigned one at the end of the month, but come March we'll both frequent each other's blogs quite regularly. Maybe you can guess who my partner is?

I heard about the challenge on westmetromommyreads.com. She'd participated in the summer challenge last year, and I was really eager to try it out. I hopped over to Alicia's blog, and was really happy to see that there was a Winter Challenge as well.

If any of you want to sign up for the challenge, you can see the details here.  You can sign up any time until March 25th.

A chameleon by Anton Cekhov

Hello everyone! Today I'm introducing a new series to my blog, called World Wednesday. I am not planning on posting these every week, but when I do, I will post about any piece of literature I’ve read that is set in a different culture, religion, country, state, continent, etc. It will be a window for people to share their opinions on literature that is outside of their comfort zones, and hopefully inspire them to read and learn more about other cultures. In a world that is so interconnected, it is important for us to know about other people's lives.   For this first post, I will be writing about "A Chameleon" by Anton Chekhov, a short satire set in Russia.

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.

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.
