001. Solitude. Alexander Pope. Appreciation Poetry 7th Mar 2011

Short URL http://nut.bz/281k669t/

Alexander Pope was born a Catholic in the Protestant England, was forbidden to live in the London City and had to pay a double taxation. Moreover, he was suffering from a series of diseases. To combat these handicaps, he possessed more than the courage of a lion. His poems were acrimonious attacks on society, and in a few cases they were against authority. He mentioned names in his poems, leaving dashes which his contemporaries happily filled in, to the embarrassment of his adversaries.

002. Sophist. A poem by P S Remesh Chandran. Poetry 8th Mar 2011

Short URL http://nut.bz/oth.p1gi/

The ancient Sophist saints of Greece were exceptionally clever with the use of their tongues. Don't play with them; they can bind us cunningly with their tongues. And don't corner them; we will never forget what we get in retaliation. Here in this poem, one such sophist saint is being tried in Court for a crime when the Judges get stung. The classical sophists were well-versed in paradoxes. The Judges in the Trial Court fail in understanding the real meaning of what the saint said.

003. The Forsaken Merman by Matthew Arnold. Appreciation. Poetry, Drama & Criticism. 13th Mar 2011. Short URL http://nut.bz/1ljtosiw/

Matthew Arnold has been a severe critic of Literature. Essays In Criticism was his monumental work in which he let no great poet go unscathed. Usually such critics would be asked a common question: why don't you write a great poem? This poem The Forsaken Merman was Arnold's answer in which he proved not only could he create poems of hilarious themes but could incorporate a number of exquisite tunes also in a single poem. After creating a few more poems he returned to Criticism and Academics.

004. The Leech-Gatherer. Wordsworth. Appreciation. Poetry, Drama & Criticism 15th Mar 2011 Short URL http://nut.bz/134a-2vx/

William Wordsworth's poetry has no style because Nature and Life has no style. The perfect plainness of his poems gained him popularity. He mostly wrote about Nature and Man and is considered the world's greatest Nature Poet. The world was very late in recognizing his merit. However, Glory found its way into his grave. The Leech-Gatherer is the universal symbol of Eternal Human Labour.

005. The Lake Isle Of Innisfree. W.B.Yeats. Appreciation. Poetry, Drama & Criticism 16th Mar 2011 Short URL http://nut.bz/19ed-hvz/

Poets are accused to be unrealistic day-dreamers who are given to fancy. Day-dreaming and fancying all do and take off, but only a few can safely land also. W.B.Yeats was a perfect poet who could do both. Not many have expressed fancy in beautiful words as he did, and fewer still have reminded the world of it's duties and responsibilities as effectively. This poem has always been a sensation among the poetry-reading public.

006. Leisure. W.H.Davies. Appreciation. Poetry, Drama & Criticism. 16th Mar 2011

Short URL http://nut.bz/qp4j6ml6/

Man is always eager to observe and enjoy the beauties of nature. Only that he does not get enough spare time to elate and thrill his mind by soaking up the magnificent spectacles Mother Nature has created around him. It was in the midst of and from these beauties that man was created. Therefore his wish to be with them is only natural. When he leaves them behind, he pines in his soul as if leaving his homeland.

007. Song To The Men Of England. P.B.Shelley. Appreciation. Poetry, Drama & Criticism 18th Mar 2011. Short URL http://nut.bz/21kpi-9l/

A revolutionary is a person who causes constant changes around him wherever he is. In this sense, Shelley was a revolutionary poet. Song To The Men Of England opened up world's eyes to the torture, brutality and exploitation workers were subjected to in England during the time of her colonial prosperity and raised the question: Why can't we revolt?

008. Stopping By Woods. Robert Frost. Appreciation. Poetry, Drama & Criticism 19th Mar 2011 Short URL http://nut.bz/eslzz8m7/

Nature creates many beauties for man to observe, but man being burdened with the multitude of tasks to run a family cannot spare his time for sharing the pleasantness nature imbues. In his rush of life he is forced to abandon the easy solaces nature offers which if accepted, would have served as a balm for his mind in flames. Robert Frost's poem Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening shows a glimpse of what treasures man has lost. True, what man forgets first is the beauty of his mother.

009. Two Famous Death Poems. Appreciation. Poetry, Drama & Criticism 21st Mar 2011 Short URL http://nut.bz/evi23ktc/

Death is the end of all earthly cares and the beginning of eternal things. It is believed that the moment we die, we are born in another universe. With it begins a new way of being. More number of songs and poems are written on death than on birth. It is considered an important event in man's life.

011. No More Hiroshimas. James Kirkup. Appreciation. Poetry, Drama & Criticism 23rd Mar 2011 . Short URL http://nut.bz/c-q37yc7/

Mankind hates to destruct, in spite of the destructive traits inherent in man. In his heart, man is a good being who likes to preserve mankind's achievements intact for the posterity. But politics is often not led by men, but by mobs and crowds. Wars when fought by single persons have always turned to be good to this world: Socrates, Tolstoy, Louis Pasteur. When fought by people, they turned hell loose in this world.

012. The Creation Of Man And Woman. Kahlil Gibran. Recast in True Poetic Form. Poetry 8th Apr 2011 . Short URL http://nut.bz/i7sjvwju/

Kahlil Gibran is mistakenly considered to have written his poems in free verse or blank verse but actually he was hiding his exquisite tunes behind a mask, so that the dull wits and half wits of his times won't attempt to sing them. Songs from his immortal work Tears And Laughter are fine examples of a poet locking out his lines. Two poems from Tears And Laughter, Creation Of Man and Creation Of Woman are presented here, slightly edited and recast in the true poetic form by P.S.Remesh Chandran.

This poem is Kahlil Gibran's tribute to all human souls dying uncared for in this world. It is perhaps the most majestic portrayal of death in poetry.

The great veil of Victorian hypocrisy was lifted by Alfred Lord Tennyson and was shown to the world the lovely English mind behind it that was his.

018. Waterloo. Lord Byron. Appreciation. Poetry 26th Apr 2011

Short URL http://nut.bz/3.ub8mva/

The maps of Europe were drawn and redrawn many times during the Eighteenth and the Nineteenth centuries. Countries became nations and empires which in no time were reverted back to nations and countries. It was not uncommon for people of those times to lay down spoons and forks in the dead of night and take muskets and pistols to brave war. Lord Byron in his famous poem portrays such a scene from the European arena.

Browning was a skilled poet, an expert in creating frantic situations in poetry. In the Pied Piper of Hamelin it was mysterious loss of all children from a town due to a word not being kept. In My Last Duchess it was killing of a long line of innocent duchesses by a jealous duke, the story being told without even presenting a second character. In The Patriot, it is adoration by people immediately followed by chaining, dragging through the streets, stoning by crowds and execution in the gallows.

Poems are made of human thoughts. They are the spontaneous, natural outflow of emotions evolving from close and objective observations of the things and circumstances around us.

Human beings are born far earlier than when they are ripe to be delivered. If they are retained inside mother body till sufficient growth, the child cannot come out due to large head size. So it has been arranged that they come out early when the head is comparatively small, and remain an invalid infant in the outside world for a very long time, compared to the relatively short infancy of other mammals.

Robert Lynd is famous for his essays of wit, wisdom and humour. Here he is writing ‘in praise of mistakes’, how they are useful and how they are enjoyable to the world. It is his opinion that it is difficult to write something without slipping somewhere. Mistakes do not interfere with our enjoyment of a writer and the only unpardonable sin in an author is writing uninterestingly.

Omnibus was the old name for a bus. When city buses were newly introduced in the London streets, they were uniformly coloured chocolate. Robert Lynd disliked them for their colour which was dull and non interesting to the eyes and also because they deprived him of the delights of walking. Like A.G.Gardiner’s Bus Conductor, Lynd’s Chocolate Bus reminds us of the many virtues which are leaving us one by one.

When we hear that computerization without electricity has been undertaken in some part of the world, we will normally think some innovation has been made possible there. Really it is one of the many recent follies of Kerala people. Even though many well educated and talented Keralites have migrated to many countries and are engaged there in prestigious firms in the computer hardware and software industry, their local rulers and political leaders are clay heads, still in the bullock cart age.

044. Knowledge And Wisdom. Bertrand Russell Essay. Reintroduced By P.S.Remesh Chandran. 10th Feb 2012. Short URL http://nut.bz/1kqrxzyw/

Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. Roads To Freedom, Principia Mathematica, Marriage And Morals, The Conquest Of Happiness, etc, are a few of his famous writings. Here he distinguishes between and defines knowledge and wisdom. Life experiences of a person process his knowledge into wisdom. Knowledge, comprehensive vision, pursuit of purpose, emancipation or freedom and impartiality in opinions and views are what constitute wisdom.

Whether God exists is a question people have been trying to answer through the ages. At least once in our life we are asked this question and have to answer. One interesting fellow once observed that if we are asked this question it is always safe to answer that He does exist, because if he does not exist we have nothing to fear but if He does exist, then we will have to fear his wrath and retaliation for denying him. It is interesting to note here what a famous doctor wrote in this regard.

Online publishing platforms are a great solace not only to those who seek up-to-date and current knowledge, but for those who wish to publish articles without complications also. Websites like Wikinut serve this purpose fine. One can also publish articles in free article directories like Go Articles and E Zine which would surely bring traffic to one's website. But once a sensible writer steps into this alien field, he would soon realize that he has actually stepped into a treacherous bog.

21st Aug 2012. Short URL http://nut.bz/238onx5a/

When national policies conflict, there is war. It always has been so, in spite of the world’s nations’ attempts to settle things amicably. Violence is the sister of war and mighty nations are not shameful to unleash violence on their next door neighbours, next day brothers. Non-violence has been the cherished dream of mankind since the first sunrise after the dawn of civilization. Even then the realization of this dream is remaining far distant due to psychological settings of the world’s mind.

Fear is an ancient feeling of human beings, the right application of which saved mankind from taking too many risks and helped facilitate the continued existence of mankind. Actually fear is the essential pre-requisite to courage. But in the modern day world which is not as danger-prone as the ancient primitive world had been, man fears to even release his breath. World famous philosopher Bertrand Russell analyzes the operation of fear.

Healing is an art, closely associated with divinity. We consider doctors who heal our diseases as gods. It is the learning and spiritual cleanliness of the doctor that heals the diseases in most occasions. To heal the sick, we needn’t possess the required conventional medical qualifications necessarily; the qualities of ardence and purity will do instead. The science and art of healing is closely connected with the word. Word here means, and applications and manifestations of sound.

Jean Jacques Bebel, the Swiss historian has calculated that in the 5000 years of the recent history of the world, only 282 years were devoid of any kind of wars. Peace is the brief interval between two wars. A shot sent at a visiting Prussian Prince and his wife by a young student at Austria, and the life of millions was shattered and the way of life of the world changed for ever. Horrors of the First World War were sung by thousands but Wilfred Owens’ poems were brought hot from the war front.

Governments’ banning the private practice of doctors has a history of 50 years, exactly as old as the abandonment of health and welfare of people by them. Wherever there are uneducated politicians and jealous bureaucrats, they share this common animosity and jealousy towards doctors. Bureaucrats retire at an age and politicians stop when party men stop following them. This hatred and jealousy stems from the right of doctors to practice medicine till the end of their days.

One of the most widely read and visited online websites in the world, Wikinut, hosts advertisements in its pages. As a publishing platform which pays its writers out of advertisement revenue, ads are inevitable for maintaining the platform and paying writers. How much of advertisements and what kind of links and advertisements is a subject of debate, as with other publishing sites. The general consensus is, they do not go back in quality of adverts or lean on inappropriate ads.

Music crosses borders of nations and oceans and reaches hearts of human beings in strange lands. God stands just behind those who sing, so close, that we will wonder who actually sings. Ghazals are Nature's wonderful creations in which the purest of passions, emotions and feelings are stored up so that grief-stricken human soul in loneliness can seek solace in it at any time as if in the presence of God. It is His ardence, affection and benediction once in a lifetime that flows through ghazals.

Why do human beings sing? It is an act of sublimity, melting him beyond medium, transforming him to deliquescence and ardence, preparing him for the nearness of god. God stands just behind those who sing, such close that we will wonder who actually sings. The delightful souls dead and gone who designed this world want to speak to the world again through their poems. Recitation is where they reincarnate. No living poets shall ever have a place here.

When some kind of disaster happens to a child anywhere in India, the entire womenfolk of India will weep. It is in their nature. Once a woman is a mother to one, she becomes a mother to all. And she will spare her life for the safety of her child too. This character inborn in the nature of women is universal. Mr. Nissim Essekiel’s poem ‘Night Of The Scorpion’ is a window into this a universal character of motherhood by featuring a typical scene from an Indian village in a rainy night.

Mad things are happening in Kerala in the name of religion in temples. Race, class and gender apartheids enforced by the upper class in Hindu religion through centuries, suppressed once by the British colonial administration for a time, are returning with new vigour. Fanatics and extremists in Hinduism, armed with anti-constitutional attitudes and backed by a timid civil administration, create hell in places where people meet for worship. Reformation is now a distant dream in this religion.

079. The Loudspeaker Criminality In Kerala Temples. P S Remesh Chandran. 30th August 2018.

Mankind sees God in the faces of their children. The radiance we see in their faces is the radiance and innocence we envision of God. The language they speak in the first months of their arrival must be the language God speaks, brought from the land where they came from. Giving these little children the first priority in everything is giving God his due priority. Creating them and educating them is the only mission assigned to man by God. An intervening someone is the enemy of mankind and an enemy of the world. The evil of religion shows its cruel face in the form of the greatest threat to children- loudspeakers.

The use of elephants in temple processions in connection with religious festivals has long been a controversy in Kerala. Inhuman treatment of these animals, subjecting them to long hours in the heat and dust on tarred roads and ear-piercing noise from multi drum sets and hundreds of loud speakers- all in sharp contrast to the silence and coolness of their natural habitats- turn them mad and angry, killing mahouts and turning against people and destroying trees, buildings and vehicles in their path. Animal Protection Organizations like the S. P. C. A., District Collectors and the Government are silent watchers to this cruel spectacle of abuse of animals going on in temples in the name of religion.

Dozens of major firework accidents happened in Kerala due to human negligence during the 64 years from 1952 to 2016. Almost all of them were during temple festivals. Though newspapers have been in circulation for a hundred years prior to 1952, there has not been much news about firework accidents prior to 1952 in Kerala. Remember that Kerala was officially formed as a reorganized democratic state only in 1956 when political parties began to take over control of people, society, temples and festivals. Before that, kings were answerable; after that, no one was answerable.

082. Is Reformation Over For Hinduism? P. S. Remesh Chandran. 06th October 2018.

There are many good things in Hinduism as are there in any religion, and are many evils also. Hinduism being a way of life and not being a religion, not being shackled to any particular text or guru, you needn’t even be going to a temple to be a Hindu and the good teachings in the Vedas are the good things. Human sacrifice, sati, child marriage, polygamy and widow remarriage ban are the evils that have been already sent away from this religion through reformation. Caste, varna, jati, waning of Hindu simplicity, capturing gods in stones, anti-beef campaigns to bring down domestic consumption of beef and boosting up of export, priests wanting women devotees to abandon clothes if possible inside temples, prohibiting women entry in temples, and the degrading dowry system are the vices still will not go in spite of reformation.

Primitive forms of life originated first in the primeval soup of ancient oceans billions of years ago, migrated to land, and became bird, beast, reptiles and man. If we close both our ears with our fingers, we can still hear the reverberations of ocean waves crashing in our blood. Oceans have served not only as an ancient home to man but provided him with a multitude of marine products for sustenance also.
