Exploring poetic profundity
Arbind Kumar Choudhary is a poet in a thousand—one who refuses to become a mere puppet to any writer or stylistic convention, as he frequently asserts in interviews. A true suitor of the poetic world, he plays with words, styles, proverbs, techniques, and other poetic devices as if they were the erogenous zones of his beloved. His abundant use of phrasal, proverbial, mythical, pictorial, explored, and colloquial language, combined with a racy style of versification, has earned him the distinct label of 'Arbindonean' in the ideal world of poetry. The anthology 'Arbindonean Literature: A Critical Perspective' contains 17 striking critical papers by prominent professors, including one interview, offering deep insights into Choudhary's poetic craftsmanship. Prof. S.C. Dwivedi observes that Nature serves as the universal constitution that fills Choudhary's heart with joy and molds his poetic life towards perfection and spiritual vision. Rivers, lakes, jungles, meadows, clouds, stars, plants, animals, and flowers glitter across his nature poems, establishing him as a true poet of Nature. Terms like Majuliscape, riverscape, islandscape, skyscape, and other rural sceneries recur throughout his poetry, reminiscent of the Romantic poets. Imagery such as moonlit nights, starlit skies, hen nights, and glittering springs stir deep emotions in sensitive readers. His concept of love transcends time and space, shining like Shakespearean stars. He also critiques modern concepts of marriage, gigolos, commodified relationships, lesbianism, and homosexuality as unnatural deviations from nature. Prof. Mahashweta Chaturvedi, poet C.R. Roy, and Prof. Mahendra Bhatnagar are among the ardent admirers of Arbindonean sonnets. Prof. R.A. Singh remarks that Choudhary's ideas, style, and thoughts are wholly his own, solidifying his place as an original figure—an 'Arbindonean'—in English literature. His unique use of phrasal words such as full-throated perverse and sworn friend, along with new coinages like Ramariam, lovearium, and loveology, as well as his use of colloquial and compound words, justifies the title 'Phrasal King' of Indian English poetry. The intensity of phrasal expression in his verses has inspired a worldwide following of phrasal verse enthusiasts. Western mythical figures—Mary, Helen, Jupiter, Cynthia, Adonis, Jove, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Isabella, Venus, Phoebe, Demeter, Mercury, Oestrus, Zeus, Scylla, and many more—populate his poetry from beginning to end, earning him the title of 'MythicalMaster' in Indian English literature. As Prof. Mahendra Bhatnagar affirms, his mythic command is unmatched. The various facets of Arbind Kumar Choudhary's poetic art speak volumes about his refined poetic sensibility, intense passion for exploring the human psyche, and an authentic metaphysical vision. He is undoubtedly one of the most promising poets of this generation, destined to earn acclaim for himself and bring distinction to Indian poetry in English. His poetic collections—such as 'Melody', 'Love', 'My Love', 'Loveoid', 'Loveoscope', and 'The Poet'—demonstrate his mastery of language and the maturity of his artistic voice. Through his poetry, he reflects on the modern individual's ordeal in a world bereft of empathy and ethics, yet ultimately advocates for universal brotherhood and love. Choudhary's romantic essence can be detected throughout his work, shaped by the influence of the Romantic poets, especially John Keats. As Prof. M.P. Singh notes, his Keatsian touch is evident in both style and substance. Having been honored with numerous literary awards, Arbind Kumar Choudhary stands as one of the most versatile poetic geniuses to emerge from the fertile literary soil of India. His works are richly layered with proverbial and pictorial expressions, emotional and satiric tones, free and rhymed verse, and mythical, ethical, and historical references. Lyrical brilliance, emotional intensity, and Spenserian grandeur light up his verses. Choudhary's poetry is more vocal than sound, more fragrant than flowers, shinier than the sun, and more glittering than stars. He pioneers innovative poetic features—rhymed verses, mythic blending, new word formation, and a unique poetic temperament—establishing himself as a true 'literary drunkard' in the best possible sense.

Love between women comes of age with ‘Mrs Dalloway'
Ruth Vanita At 100, Virginia Woolf's classic remains startlingly original—both in its style and depiction of female sexuality Natascha McElhone and Lena Heady in 'Mrs Dalloway' (1997). Gift this article A hundred years ago, Virginia Woolf published Mrs Dalloway, my favourite of all her novels. From the time English novels first appeared in the 18th century, many of them were named after women—Moll Flanders (1722, by Daniel Defoe), Clarissa (1748, by Samuel Richardson), Evelina (1778, by Frances Burney), Emma (1815, by Jane Austen). Most of their heroines are young women and most novels are about falling in love and getting married. Mrs Dalloway (1925) is unusual because it is about a 51-year-old woman, a wife and mother, who has experienced more than one love, and the love of whose life was a woman. A hundred years ago, Virginia Woolf published Mrs Dalloway, my favourite of all her novels. From the time English novels first appeared in the 18th century, many of them were named after women—Moll Flanders (1722, by Daniel Defoe), Clarissa (1748, by Samuel Richardson), Evelina (1778, by Frances Burney), Emma (1815, by Jane Austen). Most of their heroines are young women and most novels are about falling in love and getting married. Mrs Dalloway (1925) is unusual because it is about a 51-year-old woman, a wife and mother, who has experienced more than one love, and the love of whose life was a woman. Mrs Dalloway packs its startling originality into less than 64,000 words. James Joyce's Ulysses, published three years earlier in 1922, is about four times as long. Both novels are about one day in the life of one person. Nothing particularly important happens on this day. In the morning, Clarissa Dalloway walks in London, as Woolf loved to do, in the afternoon she rests, and in the evening, she gives a party. Mrs Dalloway is not about events. It reveals the horrors of war and the self-importance and egotism of colonial bureaucrats but its concern is with the pains and pleasures of individuals. It is about how we live as much in memory and imagination as in a house or a city. Clarissa experiences everything, from fresh morning air to meeting old friends, in two dimensions—the past and the present. She has a tranquil and affectionate marriage, but she fondly recalls Peter, the man she refused to marry because she found his insistence on sharing everything 'intolerable". Although their intimacy was exciting, she refused his proposal because she knew, with wisdom remarkable in a young woman, that 'a little licence, a little independence there must be between people living together day in day out in the same house". This is a sentiment which anyone who has been married for many years would understand. It is also one with which the great heroines of English comedy, from Shakespeare's Rosalind to Austen's Elizabeth Bennet, would surely agree. A few pages into the novel, Clarissa thinks, with some guilt vis-à-vis her kind and considerate husband, about her lack of erotic warmth towards men, her 'cold spirit", which Peter too comments on. She knows, though, that she has felt for women 'what men felt". In an extraordinary passage, Woolf describes female desire in a way that evokes orgasm, specifically female orgasm: 'It was a sudden revelation, a tinge like a blush which one tried to check, and then, as it spread, one yielded to its expansion, and rushed to the farthest verge and there quivered and felt the world come closer, swollen with some astonishing significance, some pressure of rapture, which split its thin skin and gushed and poured with an extraordinary alleviation over the cracks and sores! Then, for that moment, she had seen an illumination; a match burning in a crocus; an inner meaning almost expressed. But the close withdrew; the hard softened. It was over—the moment." This is the best description of female orgasm I have ever read. As all great writing does, it colours precise description with something more than mere technical detail. The match burning in the crocus, like the Buddhist jewel in the lotus, lights up the world, connects the individual to the universe. Continuing to think about 'falling in love with women," Clarissa recalls her youthful love for her friend Sally Seton. She 'could not take her eyes off" Sally, she imbibed Sally's radical ideas about literature, society and life, she admired Sally's beauty as well as her reckless, unconventional behaviour. At first, Clarissa thinks that she cannot feel her old emotions again, but as she undresses and re-dresses, the feeling starts returning to her. As a young girl, dressing to meet Sally, she had felt, as Othello felt when he met his wife, 'if it were now to die, 'twere now to be most happy." As she and Sally walked together at night, Clarissa remembers 'the most exquisite moment of her whole life" when Sally 'kissed her on the lips". She felt as if she had been given 'something infinitely precious," when Peter interrupted. The interruption was a painful shock to her. She compares it to running your face against a granite wall in the dark, and she also felt Peter's 'hostility; his jealousy; his determination to break into their companionship." 'Mrs Dalloway' is not about events. It is about how we live as much in memory and imagination as in a house or a city. Mrs Dalloway is the first major novel in English to explicitly depict a woman falling in love with another woman. The year it was published, Woolf, who was 43 years old, began a passionate affair with the novelist Vita Sackville-West, who was a well-known lesbian and married to a gay man. In her diaries and letters, Woolf evokes Vita's 'incandescent" beauty in lyrical terms: 'she shines in the grocer's shop in Sevenoaks with a candle-lit radiance, stalking on legs like beech trees, pink glowing, grape clustered, pearl hung." Three years later, in 1928, when Radclyffe Hall's lesbian novel, The Well of Loneliness, was censored, Woolf and her close friend, the novelist E.M. Forster, who was also gay, published a letter of protest. Hall refused their attempt to draft a statement that many writers were willing to sign, because Hall wanted them to defend the book on the basis of its literary merit, not merely on the basis of freedom of speech. Neither Woolf nor the other writers thought that The Well of Loneliness was a work of literary excellence. Nevertheless, Woolf was ready to testify in court on its behalf but the court ruled out all testimony and banned the book. The Well of Loneliness is a historically important book read mainly by scholars today; Mrs Dalloway is as vital and surprising now as it was when first published. Woolf's novel Orlando, published in 1928, is much acclaimed these days because it is about miraculous sex change and identity. Orlando is inspired by love. Woolf wrote it as a portrait of Sackville-West. But Orlando is not about love. It is a portrait of a remarkable bisexual person. Mrs Dalloway is a far greater novel than Orlando. At the end of Mrs Dalloway, Clarissa hears about the suicide of a traumatised soldier, Septimus, who was married to a woman but loved a man who died in the war. Clarissa senses, almost mystically, that she is similar to Septimus and that he died holding on to the thing that matters most whereas she and her friends have let go of it. Is that thing love? Is it the ecstatic sense of oneness with the universe? She is not sure but she knows that it is obscured in her own life: 'closeness drew apart; rapture faded, one was alone. There was an embrace in death. But this young man who had killed himself—had he plunged holding his treasure? 'If it were now to die, 'twere now to be most happy,' she had said to herself once, coming down in white." The novel ends with love—Peter filled with excitement at the sight of Clarissa, Clarissa's husband Richard with love for their daughter, and Sally's statement, 'What does the brain matter compared with the heart?" Ruth Vanita is a professor, translator and author, most recently of the novel A Slight Angle. Topics You May Be Interested In

‘Squid Game' creator CONFIRMS Gi-hun's fate; Teases potential spinoff
The creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, is the one who is most excited about the release of the show's final season. The writer and director of the popular show opened up in a recent interview about his relief on the show coming to an end. "There hasn't been a single day that went by without me thinking about Squid Game,' he said to The Hollywood Reporter and admitted, 'This is something that has completely consumed me. " Although Squid Game's ending is not meant to set up any future stories "at this time," sources tell THR that director David Fincher is reportedly working on an English-language spinoff. The story of his main character, eager hero Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), the indebted father who won the deadly Squid Games in season one and returned to defeat them in seasons two and three, is finally concluded in the final episodes, as Hwang had promised. But despite his heroic efforts, Gi-hun leaves this story unharmed. Rather, he gives his life to ensure the survival of Jun-hee's (Jo Yu-ri) newborn child. In the end, the infant assumes his mother's role as Player 222 and wins the games. His mother and father, Lee Myung-gi (Yim Si-wan), also known as Player 333, both meet tragic ends during the games. With Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett making a surprise appearance in the series' final scene as the Recruiter for an American version of the Squid Games, the combination of hope and gloom in Hwang's anti-capitalist thriller leaves viewers with a lot of thoughts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo With an ongoing point that the Games will continue, the scene either closes the book on the story or allows the wildly popular franchise to continue with a potential spinoff series. While also sharing the thing he found most difficult to write in Gi-hun's ending, he said, "If season three is met with as much love as people loved season one, then I think I'm definitely going to feel less empty about saying goodbye.' Although he is open to future spin-offs that dive deeper into the recruiters' world, Hwang Dong-hyuk affirms that this concludes Gi-hun's arc and the original Korean narrative.
