SHAKESPEARE # All the world's a stage

Disclaimer: I am participating in Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022 and this is my post for S # SHAKESPEARE "ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE "

INTERESTING FACT 

William Shakespeare's birthday is celebrated on the 23rd of April ( tomorrow 😀) and incidentally it is also his death Anniversary 😔

My acquaintance with Shakespeare dates back to when I was in the sixth grade🤩 

 Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary lamb in front of me was laid  😇

It was part of our curriculum then 😇

The simple version taken from the maestro's pen 🖊 ✨ 

The duo had picked the best and amongst the twenty 

Merchant of Venice my favorite used to be 😍

Pericles's tragic pursuits  brought tears to my eyes 😥

But the ending twisted and turned into a beautiful surprise 😇

Othello and King Lear 🤴 made me think, how even the mightiest can misjudge 🤔

Romeo and Juliet💔 paid through their lives on account of an ancient grudge 😭

How fate and fortune brings along happy friends 🤠🤠

We could see in the Timon of Athens 🤨

But once it's lost , gone are the friends🥵

The inner conflict of Macbeth as he fights fate and free will 😮

Sanity becomes insanity and innocence becomes guilt😬 

The Tempest had a raging storm and super natural elements🙃

Hamlet is the story of a prince and how he seeks revenge 😒

Much ado about Nothing is as good as the title suggests 🤩

And the Comedy of errors with its superb plot left us impressed 👏 

One which got us all the more excited was Taming of the Shrew 😏

Katherine's anger met its match and was wonderfully subdued 😇

All was well till the plays where Simple tales😃

Coming into the real thing was like looking at everything in detail 🧐

For our 9 th and 10th grades we had Julius Caesar from the start 😀

Welcome to the world of Thee , thy and thou art 🤓🤓

The title of the story was ofcourse Julius Caesar 🤔

Although he died midway and had very few dialogs to deliver.😒

It was Brutus and Antony all the way 🙂🙃

The rest didn't have much to say 🤏

All said and done the play was amazing in all its extremes👍👍

Right form the "Ides of March which means March Fifteenth

"Et tu Brute ? Then fall Caesar" to Mark Antony's entire speech👍👍👍

Just proves to the entire world how this play is a Master piece👌👌👌👏👏

"You blocks you stones you worse than senseless things "😐

Have given us new ways to provoke, everytime with different meanings 😁

"Cowards die many times before their deaths ", has for ages been an inspiration 💪

"The fault , dear Brutus is not in our stars but in ourselves, " is again a sensation 🌠🌠

But for my part ..in my exam😑

I had got confused between dialogs of Marullus and Flavius🙄

And got a zero in reference to the context 😑

Still I totally enjoyed being a part of this old Elizabethan Era to the core💖💖💖

As Brutus said " Not that I Loved Caesar less but I loved Rome More "💯❤

DRIZZLE TO DOWN POUR

  Disclaimer:  I am participating in  Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022  and this is my 4 the post for  D # Drizzle to Downpour  I was in the first year of college. We were given a preparatory leave for our midterm exams. It was Monsoon time.  That day I had a project to submit so had to go to college. Normally my whole group of friends would board the bus together, but today I had no company. The sky seemed clear. I felt if I could get the bus at 8, reach college around 9, and submit the assignment, I could be back by 10 o clock. That way I could save the rest of the day for studying. I just took my wallet, put my project done so prudently in my bag and off I went.  I boarded the almost empty bus and took my favourite window seat. Whenever commuting to and fro, I have crossed the Howrah Bridge, I have always felt so relaxed. The cool breeze from the Hooghly river whispering in my ear always brought tranquillity and peace. The bus had great momentu...

FACE THE MUSIC WITH ME

 Disclaimer: I am participating in  Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022  and this is my sixth post, F # FACE THE MUSIC WITH ME  The incident to which I shall be relating. the series proving how big an idiot I am, took place at the World famous Goddess Karni Temple near Bikaner, Rajasthan. It was during our Autumn 😎 Break. My Parents and we four sisters were on a road trip to Rajasthan's holy places. It was the last stop, almost our journey's end before heading back to Jaipur. Let me brief you before we proceed, that Karni Mata Mandir is also known as the Temple of Rats with approximately 25,000 black and white ones, housed there. We were not expecting them to be dangerous, or scary. To be honest, I had imagined them in their nice warm cages, but no, as we entered, I was in shock. The sudden realisation that in the next 15 to 20 minutes we shall be surrounded by potentially thousands of RATS. We were told to be discrete enough not to step on, not even accidentally on a ...

 A # A friend in need is a friend indeed TO ERR IS HUMAN😇 TO FORGET IT AND STILL MAKE THE SAME 🙄 WELL IS  HUMAN AGAIN 🙂 GRADUALLY MAKING IT AGAIN N' AGAIN 🙄🙄 YOU BECOME A MASTER IN THE GAME 🏆 Some mistakes don't have a noteworthy impact,  but a few change the course of your life.I shall be talking about both, till u feel, thank God you are after all not me. The first big mistake I remember was committed in my 4th standard,  I was 8 years old then and had made my very first best friend. 👭Her name was Kanchan. We had sworn to stand by each other through thick n thin . One day she informed me her telephone ☎️ ( that was the norm in the 80s and 90s ) was out of order and if I could register its complaint. I told her that I was unaware of the process. She gave me a number on which I was supposed to call and directed me on how to go about it . I agreed 👍.  In the afternoon,  I decided to do the needful.  I called up, a man's voice answered,  I t...
