This poem is written by Alfred Tennyson. He wrote this poem on his friend Artur Hallam's death. He was seat besides the grave of his friend and see the waves of sea striking with rock. Here he compare himself with sea thay ,as sea was unable to show it's sorrow,same as he was also unable to show his sorrow , for his friends death. He explained about gloom in life and its connection with his friend's death. He saw a boy who was a son of fisherman ,played at sea shore and he also want to be like sea shore ,near where his friend's grave. Here another people and a boy of fisherman , all were happy but only poet was sad because of his friend's death. At last,He is standing near the spot of his friend's burial on the sea-shore. Seeing the waves of the sea beating against the rocks the poet feels that the sea might express its grief by lashing the coastal stones, but he himself would never enjoy the tender beauty of the days when his friend was alive.

Daffodils by William Wordsworth

This is the greatest poem by Wordsworth which I have read. In this poem he mentioned about nature and his own experience of nature. He was wondering like a cloud and watch fields of daffodils. They are dancing and  with them his heart is also dancing. He become happy with the company of flowers and joy a lot. Poem based on nature and have deep meaning. The field of flowers, besides lake , make him happy when he was all alone and restless.  He said that the flowers of daffodils are dancing and looking like they are welcoming him with the movement of their head. At the end he comes home and write his experience on it. By this poem he present relation between man and nature that how one alone person get Peaceful life in the lap of nature. 

Sigh no more ladies

Image
The poem is about women condition. Poem is written by Shakespeare. Here he wants to share the message by the poem for women. He indicate the situation of women and told them that keep hope,don't lose it. Here poet  put a message for women who were betrayed by men. Poet said here that in love and relationship,women has not to become sad if the man betrayed her. She has not to sigh more. Poet denied here for sigh and it's repeating. It will be unhealthy for them and also may be the cause of their lose of beauty. Throughout the poem ,poet show the unfaithfulness of man in love and how they betrays women. They can't stay with particular one and moving towards one to another . For this type of man , Shakespeare said to women that let him go and don't become sad,don't sigh. He said that let them go and enjoy the life , be happy.

On his blindness

On His Blindness , poem written by John Milton.He lose his eyesight and on that he wrote this poem. He was not able to understand that what really God wants from him. In his poem he mentioned that after losing his eyesight, still God wants that he write a poem or other thing. He knows this condition  ,still he please God. He likes to write but by losing his eyesight ,he was not able to write anything.Poet have desire to serve his master,God but he has not light in his life so he can't do that.God has a huge Kingdom and there are thousands of angels who remain in motion to carry God’s order. They never take rest. The poet compares them with those who have talent and use it to serve God.On the other hand, there are some other angels also who serve Him just by standing and waiting before God. Here poet compare himself as last angels who keep patience.

Pippa's song

The year’s at the spring, And day’s at the morn; Morning’s at seven; The hill-side’s dew-pearl’d; The lark’s on the wing; The snail’s on the thorn; God’s in His heaven– All’s right with the world! The poem is about Asolo and a day of holiday.Pippa wakes up in the morning and see out from the window. Pippa a little silk winder  who think that she is doing good. She explain about lark's wing .Last two lines is very significant of the poem. It shows the faith of people in God.It shows hope for  all the welfare  with man kind. Here the idea of Justice by God is shown. God is watching everything of his creation an all the work going on well.

रिश्ते ये ढाई अक्षर का शब्द कितना प्यारा है, पर ये बहुत ही गहरा मतलब रखता है।मनुष्य जन्म से मृत्यु तक रिश्तो की उल्जन में उल्जा रहता है।हम हमेशा यह बात सोचते है कि मेरा तुजसे और तेरा मुझसे क्या रिश्ता है? मनुष्य जीवन के हर एक मोड़ पर एक दूसरे के साथ किसी न किसी रिश्ते से जुड़ा होता है, वो चाहे माँ- बेटी का हो,बाप- बेटे का हो,भाई -बहन का हो,पति-पत्नी,दोस्त का हो और कोई भी सामाजिक या व्यावसायिक रिश्ता हो। सभी रिश्तो में मनुष्य अपनापन खोजता है। हम अपनी पसंद कि चीज़ से भी एक रिश्ता जोड़ लेते है जिसे कोई छुए भी तो हम व्याकुल हो उठते हैं।हम चाहे भी तो किसी भी, एक बार जुड़े रिश्ते से कभी अलग नही हो सकते। आप सोचते होंगे की ये सच नही है,पर हा, यह सच है। हम जब किसी के कोई भी रिश्ता तोड़ते है तब भी हमारे मन में इनके बारे में ऐसा एक विचार रह जाता है कि वो मेरा /मेरी  -ये/वो -थी/था।बस इसी प्रकार वो रिश्ता हम से सदैव जुड़ा ही रहता है। आम तौर पर रिश्तो में दो प्रकार है। विश्वास और धोका। रिश्ते विश्वास की बुनियाद पर टिके होते है पर कभी कभी इन में धोका भी हो जाता है। विश्वास से जुड़े रिश्ते सदैव टिके रह

In the novel Balram saw the poster and remember his past. Same as in movie Jamal have questions on screen in KBC show and for the for the answer he is going to his past. In the film the first scene starts from police station and in novel police are searching for Balram. He narrate the condition that hoe police make mistakes to writing about him. So in both, the situation is working parallel and flashback system is same. 2)Indianness In the movie and novel the picture of India is presented.
