About

About:
 Hey everyone! My name is Vedika Mandapati. I'm a high school student in India (but this blog has been running since I was 11 so excuse some of the youthful writing), and as you may have guessed, I absolutely love books and poetry. Some of my other posts will show you that I also like art and am a musician. 

 This blog is an outlet for me to express myself. I analyze books and poems, write my own poems and occasionally share information about my favourite websites. I also participate in Saturday Snapshot, and IMWAYR, two series that help me interact with you lovely readers!

Poem or Prose?
A lot of times I question myself as to whether I prefer poetry or prose. I honestly don't have an answer to that question! I read prose more often than I read poetry- although I've been reading a lot more poems because of the blog.

 I don't write prose, although I enjoy writing poetry very much! If I'm knackered and about to crash, I'll probably pick up a book, because most require a little less comprehension than metaphorical poems. If I'm wide awake, and need to write a post, or stimulate my mind, poetry is the path I'll go down.
 In a nutshell- I prefer writing poems, and reading prose.

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'.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place.

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.
