Sairandhri by Vinod joshi


           Vinod joshi is a post modern poet, writer and critic. He has amazing skill of arrangement of word in Gujarati language. He got many award's like Narshimehta award, Kalapi Award...etc. He has more knowledge about grammar structure, vocabulary and references. His one of the famous poem " Shikhandi " based on Mahabarata. Here I want to share my view on his Prabanth form poem " Sairandhri " based on character of Draupadi in Mahabharata. This poem was growing in Australia.


Structure:-

          He published this poem in 2018.This metrical poem composed in prabandha form with seven cantos, 49 chapters and 1800 lines. It is based on Draupadi, one of the characters of Hindu epic Mahabharata. Here poet tried to explain Draupadi's feeling and thoughts. As a part of languages I can find that poet used figurative language, personification, meters, Chopai and Dohra in ' Sairandhri '. Here poet used Shrigar rasa also. Moreover I added that ' language always applied and each language has own valluations '. Normally creation of poem is reflection of poet's thoughts and reflection of background language. So here Vinod joshi born in rural area so He handed down his rural words in poem.


 Sairandhari:-

          We know that this poem based on Mahabharta. In Mahabharata one part of ' Virat Parva '. It's call ' Agnat Vas ' which living into hidden form and without self-sameness wherever. Here question is that What's purpose of remaining in hidden way ? Draupadi was daughter of king Drupad. She known with variuos name into  Mahabharta like as Krishna, Yagnaseni, Paanchali...etc. Behind her name responsible various story and problem. But here Vinod Joshi presented droupadi as lover of Karna. As a queen of Hastinapur Draupadi How she became Dashi during in Agnat Vas? and How she faced various problem in her life ?.  It's very interesting way interpreted by him.


Loss identity :-

          Generally We find that Human being has hidden ambition of fame and power position. People many time work for praise and promotion. Even government make strictly rule of Adhar card. Government work to think about public identity. Why need identity in nowadays ? People prefer to die for save indistinguishably. Here Sairandhi has not proper one identity. She played vital roll in Mahabharata without one certain identity. She loss her identity with sacrifice of body for five male pandavas. Is it right for her ?  Same as happening in our present life also. When we separate away from our selves at that time we lost our root form and personal identity. In Mahabharta She don't raise question for her identity who has not freedom to express own desire. She can't protect herself with praise. In the poem she was powerful woman described by him. This poem explain about only one woman condition,emotions and feelings, not included male character here.


Love for Karna :-

          In the poem different way interpreted love story of  Sairandhri and karna rather than Mahabharta's story. This poem represented that her first choice for love is Karna and second choice is Arjuna. So here Karna & Droupadi both are love each other but they don't share publicly. Same condition we find in our society. Many time young boy and girl has not proper platform to said who is their true lover ? Then they chose bad way for satisfaction. As a woman it is difficult task to say in Indian family . So here both are remain with hidden themselves. They don't tell to other about relationship. Karna was brave man although he had hidden his ownership. Poet's one objects of the create poem is that woman has to power to fight without hesitation.

•   2. Major themes in dramatic events like one act play, skit,Mime, Monoacting.

      In youth Festival many dramatic events are there . In which students came with various theme like :

•      One of the one act play theme is ' artificial intelligence in which we find that modern view of life . What is most important in our life : rational thinking or emotional thinking. Don't be emotional but be rational. This one act play is one of my favourite drama in this youth festival.

• In which many play we find that religion and social orthodox

>   I'm performed in skit. My experience was good 

  

3.

Can you apply dramatic literary theories propounded by many critics on the dramatic events presented in youth festival


In youth festival's dramatic events we not find that any specific theories but at some point we can say that theories is there. According to Aristotle the aim of tregedy is to bring about ' catharsis' . I think each and every one act play we feel the pity and fear for character ,so catharsis is there in youth festival .
And also Aristotle talk about six elements about tregedy like that: plot, character, diction, thought, spectacle, song( music).that all the things used in this one act play.

Here we not find that Ben Johnson's comedy of humour in one act play but in Skeat we find that this type of comic character who present the comedy. And as well as make satire in society.


In Skeat we find that Martin esslin's absurd theatre at some point only not whole.

4. Can you categories one act play or dramatic events as sentimental, anti-sentimental comedy, comedy of manners, classical tragedy, modern tragicomedy or Bollywoodish theatre performance.

    In this youth festival one of the one act play followed classical rules like that unity of time, action and place. That drama is " artificial intelligence".

     And one of the play we find that ending like Romeo and Juliet. The play 'Lakhami' in which the two lover get died at the end. And also in this play plot giigo on story within a story.

     Specially in Skeat we find that charactristic of anti-sentimental comedy like that farce, laughter, Irony, disguise,wit and intelligent humour. Many of Skeat we find that this all charactristic.

    If we talked about Bollywoodish theatre then that is not followed perfectly but at some point we saw that Bollywood features.

5. Poetry :

     In our Youth festival we don't have many events like dramatic events , in poetry. We have only this spot poetry writing.

• Subject of poetry :

   - kaliyug craves for Gandhi

   - Meera and Radha

   - cleanliness and healthiness

   - Daughter- A glance from father's eyes

   - I am Gujarati

     This five subject given to students for writing poetry. Most of the students who showed his/her interest towards two subject that is  'Meera and Radha' and ' Daughter- a glance from father's eyes.

     Many of the poems theme is Love, sacrifice, Gandhi used as symbol in many poem.

6. Art event : 

    In this art event we find that  cartooning, painting, collage, poster making, claymodeling, installation etc. 

 # pictures of cartooning, painting, collage, poster making:

  # claymodeling :

# Rangoli :

   Not only colour make a rangoli but in this youth festival we find different kinds of rangoli ,

This all the pictures gives us a pleasure.
