Poet Vinod Joshi's Interview on Sairandhri

Listen to Interview: Poet Vinod Joshi on Sairandhri

Sairandhri is a poem of lost identity.

Acclaimed for the elegant female sensibility in the sounds, rhymes and rhythm of his songs, Vinod Joshi talks to SBS Gujarati about 'Sairandhri', his poem based on the character of Draupadi from Mahabharata.

                       

Poet Vinod Joshi means a resounding and twisting name in Gujarati literature. 'Sairandhri' is one of his poems created in Australia. The great Mahabharata.

One of the poignant names of Gujarati poetry is that Vinod Joshi is the smallest value of a man's life and neither can a person's feelings be too softly interrupted by the sweetness of words. From the greatest canto ("perva") of Mahabharata.

There are several forms of Draupadi, the fire factor of the Mahabharta. Apart from being a very bright woman, Krishna's Sakhi and looks very new even today, of all these forms, why would Vinod Joshi touched as a 'Sairandhri'.

Sairandhri as a woman but also widely wanted is a woman who is hiding in the form of Sairandhri. Talking about this, we are all hiding our real essence
. This is a loss of identity, which is another form of loss of one's original identity.

It is the personality of Sairandhri so that attracted Vinod Joshi that can be a symbol of the whole human race.

In practical life, we are all doing the same thing to someone at some point in time.

This is a very big puzzle of who we are is manifest and who is inside us.

What created her to be the Queen of Hastinapur, who was the maid of the common king, is a very different dimension of her personality. But it is their destiny to keep themselves intact one year.

In the same way, we all keep our personality intact for some time at some point and we are far from ourselves and real identity or basic nature.

To the Lighthouse: Virginia Woolf                    1. How can you explain that 'what' Virginia Woolf wanted to say (for example, the complexity of human relationship, the everyday battles that people are at in their relationship with near and dear ones, the struggle of a female artist against the values of middle/upper-class society etc) can only be said in the way she has said? (Key: The 'How' of the narrative technique is to be discussed along with features of Stream of Consciousness technique which helps Woolf to put in an effective manner what she experienced in abstractions.) =). There are other techniques also through which, one can explain all the thing what Virginia Woolf wanted to say, but the technique of Stream of Consciousness seems the best to explain as the whole novel is highly psychological where the complexity of relationships as well as the problems in day to day life with near relations due to such circumstanc...
