I wandered lonely as a Cloud



There are few poems which connect to your soul so well that you think of a divine linkage with them. It's like you two were made for each other like love. Love, which is not always about loving a human being, stands more than that, it always has, but our thinking and upbringing has changed its meaning. Now, it's time, for love break all the shackles of life and fly free into the open world. For love is something that transcends every bond that you can even think of.

The poem Daffodils transcends the human mind into a pensive of thoughts. It infuses every human's heart with love, compassion, and paves the way for the emotional being to relive the past with gush of air which becomes the harbinger of fond memories in the form  of dancing "Daffodils." This piece of poetry written by Wordsworth is one of the best you will ever read in the English literature, you don't have to put extra effort to connect it with yourself. Past the first stanza, you will find yourself gliding into the field on looking the myriad, cheerful, and swaying Daffodils. It will put you on the same page with the poet from where the beauty of this work can't be described. Read it and cherish your memories.
I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and Hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden Daffodils;
Beside the Lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:-
A Poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude,
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the Daffodils.
W. Wordsworth

WHY BLOGGING?

Image
"love and hate is the mother of all causes and everything which we see" I have asked this question to  myself   for a long time. Should I write a blog or else I should be happy with mere dear diary moments. Then I stumbled upon a blog. It would be fair to accept it was the blog of my senior. I was overwhelmed by the noble proposition that she had put in front of me. Despite the exams, she ignited the long lost question within me! Should I write a blog or remain with same old dear diary moments. Talking about the  circumstances   I would say that that was the only reason that I chose to be with you guys! I don't know when I will be able to write up to you, but this much is sure that I also want the share the stories how-so-ever cooked up and spiced that are coming to me. In every body's life there comes a situation of “trans” which my teacher usually call as “+ve infinity”. But still now I don't know why she calls it like this! Which is momentary and

India’s Growth in Nehru Era

Image
The formation of  the planning commission in 1950 and the death in office of J.L Nehru in 1964 marks the Nehru era, which served as the base for growth that transformed a stagnant colonial enclave. Upon analysing data, we find formidable evidence not only of resurgent growth but also of a lasting transformation of a stagnant colonial enclave into an economy capable of sustained growth. However, in the public sphere, there is an unusual degree of interest in the Nehru era. Much of this is negative which is buoyed by the extraordinary current rates of growth of the Indian economy, so much so that Das and Srinivasan termed it as “wasted past”. Moreover, a positive charge for support comes from a more academic direction. The year of 1950  marks a watershed as far as economic growth is concerned. The post-colonial economic policy aimed to make a break from the immediate past. Looking at the relationship between public policy and economic growth in the Nehru era serves two purpos

LONELINESS, IS IT A PROBLEM?

There is a moment in life when you find anything in scrambled letters, any shape in shapeless clouds, your ringtone keeps humming in mind. This is the moment or the way I prefer it feeling lonely, or in a better manner congratulation the lonely phase of your life has just begun! Sit back, hold tight for you may fall a lot in these times.It the time when you need a hug when you are so desperate that you even talk to your pets(can be imaginary too :P) or cajole yourself in the happening world dreams. In this time, you feel so lonely that even time seems to cease and seconds turns to hours. I know this loneliness comes to everyone's life. More ever it is a general phase of life. You believe it or not but according to a report that too on college goers it got stated as a fact. Even among us girls are the most lonely. This may be a persisting problem in front of us but the fact is this is the sole reason for the most of the problems that we face in our life afterwards as depression,
