Bob Dylan and Robert Frost

Hello, I am Emisha Ravani. Writing this blog for the thinking activity given by Vaidehi ma'am, in the American Literature. Here we have to do is, merge the five chosen shots and upload the video on own you tube channel which is prepared by us.

• Write down the message you want to give from your lyrics.

The lyrics i used is from the bollywood movie "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara".

Jab jab dard ka baadal chhaya

Jab gham ka saya lehraaya

Jab aansoo palkon tak aaya

Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraaya

Hum ne dil ko yeh samjhaya

Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai?


Duniya mein yun hi hota hai

Yeh jo gehre sannate hain

Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain

Thoda gham hai sabka qissa

Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa


Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai

Har pal ek naya mausam hai

Kyun tu aise pal khota hai

Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai

It says that our lives are like roller coaster. We all deal with ups downs one by one. As we expecting only happiness in all ways. If we don't experince sorrow we never know that what is happiness or how we can make it feel.

By the first shot of leaf we can get,

RISE, EVOLVE, GET OLD.

By the second shot of birds we can see that sorrow is not something we only feel. All are facing something and something.

WHATEVER HAS HAPPENED IS HEPPENING

WHATEVER IS HAPPENING HAS ALREADY HAPPENED IN PAST.

By the third shot of boat we can interpret that ,

LIFE IS JOURNEY OF CONSTANT STRUGGLE. 

By the forth shot we can see that every moment is new to us we should enjoy it in a joyfull way. Like there is an ant which is struggling even to find way.

JOY IS EVERLAST CURE.

By the last shot of video i tried to cover the relaxing nature.

BE WATER TO FLOW, BE CLOUD TO ROAM, BE BIRD TO FLY.

It says that every moment is new and fresh to live. Whatever is happening it is not happening with us only it is happening to everyone. Further it deal with idea of joy that every second has own joy then why we are not absorbing that joy! 

• Which poem/song of Bob Dylan/Robert Frost is relatable with your video. why?

 I think with my work the poem by Robert Frost "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is going. Let's see the poem,

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

The speaker in the poem is traveling at night through the snow and pauses with his horse near the woods by a neighbor's house to watch the snow falling around him. His horse shakes his harness bells, questioning the pause; perhaps this place isn't on their usual route, or he is curious that there doesn't appear to be a farmhouse nearby.

The speaker continues to stand near the woods, attracted by the deep, dark silence of his surroundings. He feels compelled to move further into the snowy woods, but he ultimately decides to continue, concluding with perhaps the most famous lines of the poem: 'But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.'

So, Here we can see that Robert Frost also saying that "KEEP GOING". Which in my video i tried to cover the whole idea of go on in the life , There must be struggle and sorrows in the way but keep going is ultimate truth.On the other side there is stuff about distractions. And it can be internal or external, though poet is saying that everything is beautiful but i only keep going on the way.

THANK YOU
