Thinking Activity: Selected Poem

 Hello Everyone

I am Hinaba Sarvaiya Student of Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University. In this blog is my thinking or Creativity Activity given by our Yesha Bhatt ma'am. In this blog based on the "An Introduction" poem by Kamala Das. 

First read this poem and pick any one line, word,phrase, thought and idea for that and write your own vision of it in the form of Poetry, Paragraph, story and any literary pieces. In this task I chose to write poetry. I picked one line in this poem "I too call myself I".

First we can see the Poem line "An Introduction" written by Kamala Das.

Idea about the Poem:-

In ‘An Introduction,’ Das explores her complex emotions regarding the system controlling her life and the lives of countless suffering women. She also has the experience to back up her assertions about freedom and oppression as she played a critical role in the establishment of the Indian feminist movement.

Poem Words:-

Below we can see my poem "I too call myself I".

Title:- ''I Too Call Myself I''

I Too Call Myself I

Because I am Following the Calendar made by Pigs.

I am very Poor not By Money

But understanding of the things..

What happened to my surrounding Shut-up! I can't talk about anything happening,

I am enjoying the Jazz age. It gives me pleasure.

 Too Call Myself I

Because I am using new dictionary words like Ungood, Plusgood, and Doublegood.

I Too Call Myself I

Because I am not actually where I live!

Interpretation of the Poem:-

In this poem I took the Line "I too call myself I" . This line shows the end of the poem "An Introduction". This Poem Show in Feminine voice but i choose to this line only for self Respect, self Determine point of view. We are not able to make decisions about what is right for us or what is bad for us. We have to blindly follow those people who are authorised or Powerful People to control us. And we are following rules or regulations made by those people and we are not asking questions about what is happening or what those doing? I used so many satirical words to read in our literature, like first I picked up the title in Kamala Das' poem "An Introduction". Calendars made by Pigs in this language can be seen in the George Orwell novel "The Animal Form". Another line like, I enjoyed the Jazz Age this reference I picked F.Scott novel "The Great Gatsby"

 Another time I used words from George Orwell Most famous novel "1984". I am using new dictionary words like Ungood, Plusgood, and Doublegood. 

 I listen many time of great poet asked about his/her point of view what your interpretation of this poem or what is given message through this poem. Many time we think about what is the meaning of Poetry? કવિ શું કેવા માગે છે? કવિ કાઈ કેવા માગતા નથી તેના શબ્દ જ જવાબ આપી દે છે..

Writing this poem is the best experience for me and this is my interpretation or understanding of this subject. What is your interpretation of the poem written in the comment Section. And also thanks to Yesha ma'am for giving me this chance to write about my own way of Poem. Anything written on this Kamala Das poem "An Introduction". I wrote the poem "I too Call Myself I".
