Dwanda Swapna Dekhibare


"Dwanda Swapna Dekhibare" - is a poem published in magazine  Sagarika Vol.4/Issue -9/10 page 51. Sagarika is a bi-monthly magazine on Odia Literature and Culture published from Balasore. This magazine is edited by Mrs. Sairindhri Sahoo.

The poem talks of a conflict of mind for dreaming. It takes an example of a person that dreams of success in traditional sense and later questions  to self, "Is this the success?" This conflict of mind makes the person restless  to recount its long journey from genesis. The person now finds in addiction of success defined by family,self and society  in childhood - the success now hangs before itself as a question mark!

For non-Odia readers, I'm extremely sorry. Wish I can get its English version soon.

DWANDA SWAPNA DEKHIBARE: I agree with you. Conflicts (dwanda) are inevitable because meaning of a term (your example is success) is dynamic in nature; it depends on person, time, environment, experience etc.

Dwanda Swapna Dekhibare is a great poem par excellence. Mind is full of conflicts. It often blocks our judgement. Your poem highlights both aspects of human mind-the covert & the overt. It reminds me of Lord Tennyson's poem-Man may come,Man may go; but I go on for ever. Here he has exemplified the life with a river. The simile & alliteration used in the poem is fabulous.

Sir

Success is the matter of your poem, I get.

What is success in life?

This is a very important question one should find an answer.

Is success the achieving of monitory power?
Is success the achieving of a top position in your job?
Is success the achieving of the throne for 5 years in politics?

A secured job, salary, marriage, children. Is that all the success means?
we can raise such questions?

UNLESS we give back something to the humankind, there cannot be any SUCCESS, is my humble opinion.
