One of them is Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan. But, what was a poet doing among these soldiers? As his idol WB Yeats once said – “the fascination of what is difficult”, the poet in him was looking for something to challenge, fight and conquer. It’s also said that there is a woman in every man, and vice versa. Maybe it was an attempt let the man in him be in the driving seat, as visible in these lines - \n“ओ नवचेतन – तू अपने मन की नारी को – अस्वाभाविक बीमारी को – उठ दूर हटा – तू अपने मन का, पुरुष जगा”\nThen we also talk English poets PB Shelley and John Keats, known for their romantic poetry. While they were born three years apart, they died one year apart and had their tomb in the same vicinity. We talk about them while reading these lines from Madhushala – \n “स्वर्ग, नरक या जहाँ कहीं भी तेरा जी हो लेकर चल, ठौर सभी हैं एक तरह के साथ रहे यदि मधुशाला”\nWelcome to the 10th episode of Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan's epic poetry - Madhushala (मधुशाला). We are covering verses 83,85,87,90. This is a podcast of Hindi Poems and Poets. First few episodes are dedicated to Madhushala and then we will read good poems from other poets. Please send your comments or let me know if you want any other poem to be read in this podcast.\nYou can connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, or Youtube\nThanks for listening :-) stay safe.\nwww.arisudan.com\n\n--- \n\nSend in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/arisudan-yadav/message","author_name":"Arisudan Yadav"}
