Critical Analysis of Shaper Shaped by Harindranath Chattopadhya

A brief analysis of the poem Shaper Shaped based on major four theories of Indian Poetics: 

1) Rasa 

2) Dhvani 

3) Alamkara 

4) Vakrokti 

• Alamkara: 

Rupak (metaphor) 

I as a metaphor of human being 

Metaphors used for Creator and Creation 

👉 Potter and Clay 

👉 Poet and Song 

👉 Sword maker and Sword 

👉 Dreamer and Dream 

Alliteration: 

The title of the poem: Shaper Shaped 

• Rasa: 

Adabhuta Rasa and Santa Rasa 

One realizes Santa Rasa when he or she realizes the ultimate truth, the human being as a creation of Almighty not the creator himself. 

• Vakrokti: 

👉 Varna vinyasa vakarata 

Alliterative title of the poem: Shaper Shaped 

Rhyme scheme 2nd and 4th lines and 6th and 8th lines  in each stanza 

Feel-Wheel, Pen-Men, Gone-Shone, Hurl-Pearl. 

• Dhvani 

👉Vastu Dhvani: 

Poet has expressed the central idea indirectly. The central idea is one's journey from a self-centered attitude to the realization of the omnipotence, omnipresence, guiding, and shaping power of the true creator, God 

👉Alamkara Dhvani: 

The Poet has expressed the central idea of the poem through the use of alamkara. 

👉Rasa Dhvani: 

The reader can realizes the Adbhuta rasa and also experiences Santa Rasa only when he or she understands the suggestive meanings of the poem. So it is Rasa Dhvani in this poem. 

• This poem can be considered as Uttam Kavya as it has deep suggestive meanings.

The Role of English in Acquiring Life Skills for Better Career Prospects

The Role of English in Acquiring Life Skills for Better Career Prospects: A Webinar organised by Sharda University 

The abruptly spreaded Covid 19 and lockdown as a result of it has just stopped the human life in all the fields. But it’s truly said that Necessity is the mother of invention.. in beginning we were shocked, tired and bored but gradually we the human being realise the need of learning, the need of being active in life and we came with a solution in the form of various digital initiatives taken by the government and many institutions and widely accepted by people across the nation or even the entire world. To attend webinars on different topics become a new normal for human life. 

Here I am sharing my experience of attending one such webinar and that is The Role of English in Acquiring Life Skills for Better Career Prospects: A Webinar organised by Sharda University 

Entire the session was coordinated by Ms Pooja Mann and the expert talk was delivered by Prof. Shabina N Omar. Here I am trying to share the overview of her presentation which I have noted down. 

She has simplified the topic of her presentation from the beginning itself by providing a meaning of Life Skills in easy language. 

Then she has differentiated GOOD and EFFECTIVE person. A person having a set of enough life skills which includes both Soft skills and Hard skills.  The list of life skills provided by WHO includes: 

👉 Communication and interpersonal skills 

👉Decision making and Problem solving

👉Creative and critical thinking 

👉Self awareness and empathy (Emotional intelligence) 

👉Assertiveness 

👉Resilience 

Then she has elaborated the Life Skills required in the contemporary life which includes: 

👉Communication 

👉Flexibility

👉Initiative 

👉Social Skill

👉Productivity 

👉Leadership 

Then she discussed the Goal in life, it should be SMART 

 

Then she distinguished Soft skills and Hard skills. Hard skills can be taught in educational institutions by teachers or elders and it is related to IQ  whereas Soft skills are something related to  EQ  and can not be taught but should be acquired from life itself. To require such skills in life language plays an imminent role. And specially English is very useful for a person to acquire skills. 

“Technology helps one to learn many languages but English helps him or her to reach technology itself.” 

A person working in any field or willing to set career in any field will definitely require communication skills and that too in English as it is the Global language and Second language for a number of countries. 

It was followed by question answer session with the expert. 

It was indeed a very good experience to listen such an expert Prof. Shabina Omar .

Life and History of Tagore

Let's Rethink

21st century is highly remarked for the technological advancements and flooded with thousands of social networking sites. So, we the ultra modern generation is blessed with knowledge and comfort because we get many things by just one touch on screen. We are free from boundaries of time and place. But at the same time we are also haunted by the cyber crimes, Cyberbullying and many more defects of what we are highly in favour with and that is Social Media. When we think about this matter, we just try to be very careful not to be cheated, but we never think that a tiny stupid comment by us or JUST KIDDING fun acts done by us can sometimes be reason of others depression or sometimes it also leads to death even. 

Have a look at these videos on what I have tried to discuss here: 👇

Trisha Prabhu on Rethink Tedtalk

Trisha Prabhu Rethink before... 

Cyberbullying 

Specially during this time of Global Emergency due to Coronavirus, we are using maximum social networking sites and sharing so many posts on social media. So, we must be careful while sharing anything on Social Media as our posts can mislead others if we share it without knowing in-depth about anything, or anyone. 

One of the most important traits of Speaking is THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SPEAK But I think it must be the trait of sharing any post or commenting on anyone's post on social media.
