Love

Some say love is blind. Some say love is injurious to health, as smoking is to health.Which of the above said is true? Should we follow our heart or should we follow our logical process of thinking?? Is the heart above the brain or the brain above the heart??? Many find love to be infectious and contagious and yet some find it to be irritating and frustrating. Where the heart is there will be our treasure. So should we follow our heart?? Can love be broken? Can love be torn apart? These are questions to which one has never been able to answer. Love is wonderful feeling but it comes bundled with all the emotions in the world. Pain, joy, sorrow, sadness, madness, lust, happiness, care are all part of love. Love isn't just one feeling it's a mix of everything. Love is excruciatingly and wondrously joyous. Love leaves you utterly confused and senseless, and yet man strives towards love. It is like a magnet which keeps attracting you and saps all the energy out of you. Most people confuse physical love with emotional love. Some believe both are inter connected and yet some believe true love is only emotional. Man is queer creature. He has glorified love and even disgraced it. Some call it a slow poison, others consider to be the wine of the Gods. The question is, is love a trap or an opportunity?

Song of Radha, The Milkmaid, by Sarojini Naidu.

1 I carried my curds to the Mathura fair… 2 How softly the heifers were lowing… 3 I wanted to cry, “Who will buy 4 The curds that is white as the clouds in the sky 5 When the breezes of Shravan are blowing?” 6 But my heart was so full of your beauty, Beloved, 7 They laughed as I cried without knowing: 8 Govinda! Govinda! 9 Govinda! Govinda! 10 How softly the river was flowing! 11 I carried the pots to the Mathura tide… 12 How gaily the rowers were rowing! 13 My comrades called, “Ho! Let us dance, let us sing 14 And wear saffron garments to welcome the spring. 15 And pluck the new buds that are blowing.” 16 But my heart was so full of your music, Beloved, 17 They mocked when I cried without knowing: 18 Govinda! Govinda! 19 Govinda! Govinda! 20 How gaily the river was flowing! 21 I carried my gifts to the Mathura shrine… 22 How brightly the torches were glowing! 23 I folded my hands at the altars to pray 24 “O shining ones guard us by night and by day”- 25 And loudly the conch s

Satire in Lord of the Flies

William Golding’s use of satire in Lord of the Flies Since Golding’s purpose in writing his novel “Lord Of The Flies” is to, ‘trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature’, his aim is really to comment upon the civilized world. Golding’s boys are merely the metaphor by means of which he makes his comments upon the real world. His metaphor is itself satirical since it makes fun of adults. Briefly put, Lord of the Flies says that civilized man, in his civilized society is no better than a pack of children running wild without adult supervision. This comparison seems absurd at first, so there is humour in it, but Golding does a pretty good job of making his argument stick. The naval officer at the end of the story is too close to the reality of the war like world we all like to ignore. He looks and talks like a gentleman polished and sophisticated, but in the line of his duty, he will find the enemy and give the order to commence firing, killing indiscriminately

Themes and Morals of Lord of the Flies

THEME AND MORALS OF THE LORD OF THE FLIES The theme of The Lord Of The Flies is its description of nature of man. According to William Golding himself, “The theme is an attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature.” The moral is that the shape of a society must depend on the ethical nature of the individual and not any political system however apparently logical or respectable. The novel runs directly contrary to the Rousseauvian belief that naturally good man is the innocent and helpless victim of social forces over which he has no control. “The world is the way it is, because the people in it are the way they are”, says Golding. Golding is in the minority as a large majority if modern writers and thinkers cling to the Rousseauvian ideal of ‘noble savage’ or committed to the position that man is victimised from birth by society which is the real culprit. Golding’s position is a very old one. It goes back to atleast as far as the Old Testament. I
