Q-1 Which song of Bob Dylan has made an impact on you? Why? Can you find a song similar to the same theme in other language?
Ans. The song "Blowin' in the Wind" has made an impact on me. The songs tells us that sometimes life tests us more than enough. There're some questions whose answers we'll never know. We never know why do we have to bear so much pain and suffering at times, sometimes life tries us too much that it becomes very difficult for us to continue anymore. But there is some reason behind everything but the reasons we don't know or we may come to know after some point in life. Sometimes life tells us to be patient till the fruits ripe in our life but we're too impatient. Why life makes us wait, the reasons we never know. But the answers are there blowing in the wind but we've to learn to search them. The answers may be difficult to find and that's what Bob Dylan is telling us that to some questions in life the answers are hidden like mysteries, it's not easy to find them. The song questions the time that tries us in life that absorbs us, tries us beyond our limits and makes us very difficult to move on but the question is why? Why is life testing us too much and the answers are never known.
The song little similar to the song "Blowin' in the wind" is "Dil Ye Bekarar Kyon Hai" from the Players movie. This song is also asking some questions, the answers to which are not known to us. So below are the song lyrics. Read and feel the song and also watch the video.
Kyun raaton ko main ab chayn se so na sakoon
Oo...
Kyun aata nahin mujhe din mein bhi chain-o-sukoon
Oo kyun aisa hota hai main khud se hi baatein karoon
Oo kyun tu jo bole koi sune na woh main hi sunu
Dil ye bekarar kyun hai
Iss pe dhun sawaar kyun hai
Kyun hai ye khumaar kyun hai, tu bataa
Tera intezar kyun hai, tujhpe aitbaar kyun hai
Kyun hai ye khumar kyun hai, tu bataa
Tu bataa, tu bataa
Kyun tujhe dekhe bina aata nahin dil ko sabar
Oo kyun tere chehre se hatt ti nahin yeh nazar
Oo kyun tujhe paake mujhe rehta hai khone ka darr
Oo kyun tere siva saari duniya se hoon main bekhabar
Dil ye bekarar kyun hai
Iss pe dhun sawaar kyun hai
Kyun hai ye khumaar kyun hai, tu bataa
Tera intezar kyun hai, tujhpe aitbaar kyun hai
Kyun hai ye khumar kyun hai, tu bataa
Tu bataa, tu bataa
Ye pyaar hai jo tujhe ho gaya hai
Naa jaane kyun tu iss se tha bekhabar
Jo aaj kal yeh tujhe ho raha hai
Nahin aur kuch, pyaar ka hai asar
Kyun tere jalwo ka chatt ta nahin hai dhuaan
Oo kyun chale hawa toh lage ki jaise tune chhuaa
Oo kyun maangta hai dil tere liye roz duaa
Oo kyun ho raha jo pehle mujhe naa hua
Dil ye bekarar kyun hai
Iss pe dhun sawaar kyun hai
Kyun hai ye khumaar kyun hai, tu bataa
Tera intezar kyun hai, tujhpe aitbaar kyun hai
Kyun hai ye khumar kyun hai, tu bataa
Tu bataa, tu bataa

Jane Kyun Lyrics in Hindi
जाने क्यूँ लोग प्यार करते हैं
जाने क्यूँ वो किसी पे मरते हैं
जाने क्यूँ लोग प्यार करते हैं
जाने क्यूँ वो किसी पे मरते हैं
जाने क्यूँ.. जाने क्यूँ
जाने क्यूँ, जाने क्यूँ
जाने क्यूँ
प्यार में सोचिए तो बस गम है
प्यार में जो सितम भी हो कम है
प्यार में सर झुकाना पड़ता है
दर्द में मुस्कुराना पड़ता है
ज़हर क्यूँ ज़िंदगी में भरते हैं
जाने क्यूँ वो किसी पे मरते हैं
जाने क्यूँ.. जाने क्यूँ
जाने क्यूँ, जाने क्यूँ
जाने क्यूँ
प्यार बिन जीने में रखा क्या है
प्यार जिस को नहीं वो तन्हा है
प्यार बिन जीने में रखा क्या है
प्यार जिस को नहीं वो तन्हा है
प्यार सौ रंग ले के आता है
प्यार ही ज़िंदगी सजाता है
लोग छुप छुप के प्यार करते हैं
जाने क्यूँ साफ़ कहते डरते हैं
जाने क्यूँ.. जाने क्यूँ
हो जाने क्यूँ, जाने क्यूँ
जाने क्यूँ
प्यार बेकार की मुसीबत है
प्यार हर तरह खूबसूरत है
हो.. प्यार से हम दूर ही अच्छे
अरे प्यार के सब रूप हैं सच्चे
हो प्यार के घाट जो उतरते हैं
डूबते हैं न वो उभरते हैं
जाने क्यूँ.. जाने क्यूँ
प्यार तो खैर सभी करते हैं
जाने क्यूँ आप ही मुकरते हैं
जाने क्यूँ.. जाने क्यूँ
जाने क्यूँ, जाने क्यूँ
जाने क्यूँ

Below are the song lyrics of the song "Blowin' in the Wind"
Blowin’ in the Wind
WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, ’n’ how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, ’n’ how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it’s washed to the sea?
Yes, ’n’ how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free?
Yes, ’n’ how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, ’n’ how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, ’n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
Q-2 Which poem of Robert Frost has made an impact on you? Why?
Ans. "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" poem by Robert Frost has made a deep impact on me. It always reminds me to focus on my goals, my dreams rather than being distracted by other things in life. Some things are like bubbles, they may give us momentary joy but they'll surely destroy our dreams. So in life this poem tells me that there's time and place for each and everything so when we're on some path to achieve something we should never stop in middle to look at something else. This tells us to remain focused in order to achieve our dreams, when we're on our path many distractions will come and they'll attract us so much making us difficult to move on but our dreams should never allow us to stop and enjoy the temporary moments.
The poem is as below:
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
BY ROBERT FROST
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
☆ Brief Introduction of Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman; May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author and visual artist. Often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture during a career spanning nearly 60 years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements. His lyrics during this period incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying pop music conventions and appealing to the burgeoning counterculture.
Since 1994, Dylan has published eight books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. He has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time. He has received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award. Dylan has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The Pulitzer Prize Board in 2008 awarded him a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power". In 2016, Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".
☆ Brief Introduction of Robert Frost
Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was an American poet. His work was initially published in England before it was published in the United States. Known for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech, Frost frequently wrote about settings from rural life in New England in the early 20th century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.
Frost was honored frequently during his lifetime and is the only poet to receive four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry. He became one of America's rare "public literary figures, almost an artistic institution." He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his poetic works. On July 22, 1961, Frost was named poet laureate of Vermont.

Hello Friends, This blog is my response to the task assigned to us by our teacher VaidehiMa'am. So read and enjoy. The Rape of the Lock is a mock-heroic narrative poem written by Alexander Pope. One of the most commonly cited examples of high burlesque, it was first published anonymously in Lintot's Miscellaneous Poems and Translations (May 1712) in two cantos (334 lines); a revised edition "Written by Mr. Pope" followed in March 1714 as a five-canto version (794 lines) accompanied by six engravings. Pope boasted that this sold more than three thousand copies in its first four days.[2] The final form of the poem appeared in 1717 with the addition of Clarissa's speech on good humour. The poem was much translated and contributed to the growing popularity of mock-heroic in Europe. In the beginning of this mock-epic, Pope declares that a "dire offence" (Canto 1 line 1) has been committed. A lord has assaulted a "gentle belle" (
