Poem Summary



Summary of the poem ‘I am not yours’                        
                    The poem, ‘I am not yours’ was written by Sara Teasdale. My analysis of this poem is that it's about someone who is in love with a person with whom they are unable to be with. For instance, it could be about a man or woman who is married but in love with another. They know there is hope that someday they will be together, just not now, so they dream of whom it will be when the time is right. There is love, will always be love, and someday they can act upon their love.
                      In the first stanza, the narrator states, “I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, although I long to be.” At first, we think it’s because she is in love with someone she can’t have. They are taken by someone else and the narrator will never get to experience what it’s like to be in a relationship with them. It is quite tragic.
                       However, in the second stanza, we learn that this person loves the narrator. It is the narrator not the other person that is keeping the narrator from experiencing what she/he wants to experience.                     
                       The final stanza is a prayer that the narrator will be able to allow themselves to fall hopelessly in love, “Oh plunge me deep in love”. They wish to no longer navigate through life doing the sensible thing using only their mind (“put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind,”). Instead, they want to concentrate on what their heart wants. They are ready for love, but are still waiting for the thumbs up.

Summary of the poem ‘Alone’
            The poem Alone was written by Edgar Allan Poe. Alone, as the name suggests, is a poem about an introvert, about a person that was not very confident of him. The meaning of this poem is loneliness.  The first half of the poem was about Poe’s terrible childhood. The second half of the poem is about his family life, and so on. 
                                         The first eight lines are about him not having the same passion as others, and about his normal life with his parents. The phrase even makes you think that he preferred being different to others.
           The lines 9, 10, 11 and 12, are about how the dawn of his childhood, the early times of his childhood changed into something negative, which was what in 'of a most stormy life was drawn' meant, the next line, 'From every depth of good and ill' meant that the change was made from the normal good and bad things in his life so far. The next line is about him questioning himself why it had happened to him.

''It might have been'' by ella wheeler


We will be what we could be. Do not say, 
"It might have been, had not this, or that, or this." 
No fate can keep us from the chosen way; 
He only might who is. 

We will do what we could do. Do not dream 
Chance leaves a hero, all uncrowned to grieve. 
I hold, all men are greatly what they seem; 
He does, who could achieve. 

We will climb where we could climb. Tell me not 
Of adverse storms that kept thee from the height. 
What eagle ever missed the peak he sought? 
He always climbs who might. 

I do not like the phrase "It might have been!" 
It lacks force, and life's best truths perverts: 
For I believe we have, and reach, and win, 
Whatever our deserts. 



                                             
                                                                                    Once taken an appropriate path there should not be second thoughts about it. Life can be at times a touch deceptive. Never annoy that it might have arrived that way or had not this etc. if you have a vision and pursue it over a period of stretch, fate can no longer distance you from the glory. We will always be who we are, irrespective of occurrence and vicinity. One who decides to do will be the one who achieves it.  We will be definitely laying the maximum efforts to back our stand.  The author wishes human effort to be an eagle which will continue to be on its task of flying at higher heights even though it fails to do so. Stressing on the ‘’Never say die’’ phenomenon. The phrase ‘’it might have been’’ could hide life’s best truth but we have to reach our destiny and show the world what we ought to…

I Believe by kayla neil

Normal
I Believe
I believe that the sun shines after the rain
I believe if you don't get hurt you'll never gain
I believe in not doing things the easy way
I believe that being selfish doesn’t pay

I believe in a second chance
I believe in a life long romance
I believe there is life after death
And standing up to a life of mess

I believe in love at first sight
I believe that revenge isn’t right
I believe that first impressions last
And there is nothing better then a good laugh
Kayla Neil



Belief is like root inside the earth which gives the confidence to the tree to stay on top of the earth. Would you imagine a tree existing without its roots deep into the earth? Definitely it will not be able to sustain

Imagine the life of a human being without belief, it will be nothing but nightmares. Belief by the word describes believe in you, as Swami Vivekananda said “all power is lying within you, you can do anything and everything’’

I believe the sun shines after the rains; the water droplets that rain pours to earth adds glitter to the greenery making it as most envisage able sight of the morning.

I believe if you don’t get hurt, you will never gain; Stone can never be a statue unless it is carved with tools. Carving might hurt, but patience and persistence pay the stone to be a statue of liberty. Never bow down if you get hurt, always be patient and pursue your goals to be a winner

 I believe in not doing the things easy way, doing things isn’t easy anyway and if you prefer to choose the easy way. Then again it is not the gold that counts; it’s the legacy that you cultivate counts;

I believe that being selfish doesn’t pay; Imagine a sun, with all its powers chose to be selfish and halt at his place. The consequence is half the world will be in darkness forever.  Selfish can be as heartening as a boat without a paddle in center of the sea leaving it unmoved towards the destiny

I believe in a second chance; and also believe the first is not the last as well. There is always a life for progression.I believe in a life long romance; exchange of love cannot be confined with ages. Our love towards life can always be nourished for its unpredictability that gives an edge over the rest.

I believe there is a life after death; death can never be an end. The enlightening visionary words of Gandhi are everlasting and exhibit the life of words after death.

And standing up to a life of mess; when the going gets tough, it’s the tough ones who will get going. Standing tall at critical moments will be the driving force for unsung victories

I believe in love at first sight; if not for those YouTube illuminations, I regret for being mum on that first sight. It is one of those instances, where your heart beat pounds up for being a devotee.

I believe revenges aren’t right; forgiving can be the sweetest revenge as the rain god forgives us for all the discharges that we originate out of bliss and gives the kind of rain

I believe first impressions last; impressions last long if they are exchanged rather than creating it. It is impressive of the rainbow at the first time make it so special than the leftover ones. Isn’t it?

And nothing is better than a good laugh; laughter can neither take away your sorrows nor give you the happiness of living. Believe in happiness and joy of a giving a laugh to the world, where the rest is the call of almighty…..

Fun republic - Hangout destiny


                                  Fun republic – The new hang out at "Manchester of south India"(Coimbatore) for the republicans, to weave into the mall way of shopping. Kovai, the second largest city in Tamilnadu associated itself with its second mall operating since a month.  Like every mall , fun republic has a popular mix of fashion apparels, electronics and entertainment spread across four floors. The mall surprisingly doesn't contain the neon lights portraying mall identity.  As I walked into the mall on busy Sunday evening, Right away I felt something missing, undoubtedly that’s the sweet aroma, which drives your enthusiasm levels to a ride. That was missing right away. As I proceeded further I could see bunch of families heading out with bright smiles and Kids with hand full of purchases. Reached center stage of the mall and found nothing but chaos. Thanks to the advertisement activity, happening in center left part of the mall and crowd surrounding it by blocking the pathways. With poor acoustics it was like someone banging on my ears adding to the chaos. Even lighting wasn't that great.

                       Mall is still in its early days of functioning, where some stores are yet to be buzzed up. The much awaited movie screens are scheduled to open within a week adding to fun at fun republic. When I stopped some visitors for their thoughts, here is what they wanted to share.

                           Partha aged at his fifties expressed his happiness that he found a new destination to park his children on weekends who are very notorious at home. He also wished for better parking facilities. Parking here consist of three basement floors. He adds that the paths are not clearly marked and charges also quite expensive. Lighting facilities need to be taken care of at parking and emergency exits.               

                        Rajiv a teen says” am standing in the queue at McDonald’s for past 15 mins to collect a piece of burgers. Shop could have been a bit spacious and had more counters. There is no connectivity between McDonald and other outlets. All the eatery giants are in fourth floor but for McDonald’s which is in ground floor. I am a variety loving person; this arrangement limits me to stop with one’’

                           Kumar at his forties expressed his concerns that prices are not cheap as they advertised in the pamphlets. Every product has a hidden cost attached to it which leads to an expensive buy.

                      John shared his anguish at stinky toilets, which has very poor maintenance and it’s not spacious to be inside the mall. Water flow is quite low and floors are slippery which need to be looked on.

                       Shanthi at her fifties says these escalators are very unsafe for our age group. They are operated at higher speeds instead of normal speeds. I have been to airports and malls before where escalators tend to be a bit slow. They also should see all age groups before fixing up of speeds. I have been waiting for lifts in the second floor to reach fourth floor but all the lifts are jam packed and I had to wait for 5 minutes to reach fourth floor. If escalators were slow, I also could have reached destination without much congestion. Interestingly lifts don’t have fans. They have air conditioners inside but still I felt suffocated.
                                        
                                   The above are only a few who raised their concerns, many tend to evade questions.  Overall everyone was happy with a new hangout destination in their locality gearing up to take center stage after multiplex gets open. I can see many happy faces in the entire lot in comparison with few bleak ones. There were gossips saying fun republic is capable of dividing the Brook field crowd magic.

oil price concerns - part 2


Whoa! When the whole nation is up against the rise in diesel prices, hardly we accept the fact that we are responsible for the surge in diesel prices. The diesel subsidy which is given by the government to keep the prices of essential commodities in an affordable manner is getting defeated on a daily basis. One has to believe that instead of showing dissent on rise in diesel prices, we should utilise the fuel efficiently and thereby we will be able to bring down the consumption quantity of diesel. Because of increased utilisation of diesel, the public sector oil companies have been left with only one option but to buy the fuel at any cost.
 The misuse of subsidised fuel for our personal transportation has led to this crisis. Recent survey by government have revealed data showing 30 % of the subsidised fuel is being used for purposes which it should not be meant for, resulting in extra imports of diesel at increased prices. This further is used as a marketing strategy by automobile companies wherein they sell diesel cars at higher prices because of growing demand. As citizens of India we should be responsible for wellbeing of fellow Indians, where nearly 30 per cent of Indian population is below poverty line. However the situation has become alarming now and with government deciding to take on bulls with horns by a proposal on taxing diesel cars with higher tax and bringing a cap on number of cylinders per household. It’s high time that oil consumers need to change their approach or in future they will be forced to change.
