Poem



I walk on the street
the heaviness of the air smacks me in the face.
It’s 10 am,
but city is rumbling with life.

I step off the curb,
I am one of few sharks waiting to catch my pray.
Got it! Trach! I’m in.

My journey begins.

I, the cabie and the cab,
forming cohesive unit for next 95 minutes.
The strong yellow surrent carries us down 3 rd. Avenue,
towards midtown tunnel.

As I look into the rear view mirror,
the city becomes miniature.
Alien emotions pour over me,
now I’m really feel as if I’m embarking onto...

…the new and uncharted.

Past Brooklyn, past Queens.
As the scenery and pace changes,
I experience change in myself.
The vest emptiness between buildings reflects a hollow part of me
calling for its fulfillment.

I step outside of my yellow submarine,
onto the warm, sunny beach.
Every grain of the sand
reminds me of all moments of my life.
Bad, good, unforgettable or ordinary.

As I reach the water
a feeling of unpretentious immanence,
flows over me like a wave

I am now completely submerged.

Serenity becomes me and
I become serenity.
Total atoraxia

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde



  In this blog I will discuss about the analysis " Note on Love and Marriage: Perspectives from Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Ernest " by Michael Vance.


    Michael Vance in his analysis describe a play as “cleverly woven satire in which many of
the rules, morays, and hypocritical practices and ideas of Wilde's day were made a mockery”
which is very true, because while reading the play we can see how on one hand Oscar Wilde is 
trying to make marriage “a serious thing” and on another hand he is making fun of it. Michael
Vance said that in the play Oscar Wilde is showing us that after marriage the romance is done,
and he is right and I also think that, even before marriage the romance is not there. It also shows
those women didn’t care much about romance as long as they get married.
