TWO YEARS OF THE ROYAL WEDDING : KATE & WILLIAM !

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It has been two years since 29 April 2011 when two young lovebirds walked down the aisle and said, 'I DO' at the Westminster Cathedral!

The Royal Couple, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,William and Kate have spent two years of their happy conjugal life and are excitedly expectating their first child sometime in July this year.

Both have been leading a rather busy life as to meet the routine tours,visits,charity. . .et.al And Prince William is also working in the British Air Force . So they are mostly engaged with their varied roles as the Royal Status has its own way of worldviews where what matters most is the balance one is expected to strike between personal and public life.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sadly, the two had to spend their anniversary day apart and not together!

Prince William was busy with the Search n Rescue Training of RAF in north of wales and Princess/Duchess Catherine did enjoy her trip to a Hospice in Hampshire where she spent quality time talking with children who suffer from some form of life shortening diseases or who are disabled.

Kate has always displayed a commoner's way as she knows well how to connect and converse with the masses in a simple way and her background of not been a royal might have contributed to her down to earth kinda persona.

May The Couple Have A Wonderful Time!

REST IN PEACE, GEORGE JONES, LEGENDARY COUNTRY MUSIC STAR!

Rest In Peace, George Jones!

The Legendary Country Music Star, George Jones, Died On Friday At Vanderbilt University Hospital.He was 81 and had been suffering from recurring fever,blood pressure and respiratory problems.

It's quite surprising that George Jones Was On His Farewell Tour That Began Last Year And Was To Close At Nashville In This November Where He Was To Be Accompanied By Many Music Stars In His Honor!

Alas! That was not to be in the scheme of Almighty And The Crooner Was Called To Heaven To Perform His Hits In His Signature Baritone!

Born on August 12, 1931 in Saratoga town of Eastern Texas, he had started his music devotion by playing in the dusty streets of his town and before church of his area.

He shifted to Nashville,Tennesse which was considered as the Mecca of Country Music.

George Jones' Music Career Spanned Over Almost Six Decades,starting in fifties .
In such a longtime George Jones saw many upheavals in his personal as well as professional life.

He married four times,the last one in 1983 with Nancy who helped him redeem himself after a prolong battle with Alcohol n Cocain Addictions -- things that dominated his life since late 60s to early 80s and earned him a bad press plus an unwelcome nickname,NO SHOW JONES for he had notoriously been missing his performances due to addictions!

Jones' second wife was Tammy Wynette who herself was the most sought after female country singer of her times,and with whom Jones had had many duets some of them superhits.
George Jones and Wynette got divorced just 6yrs after their marriage,yet they remained friends and continued singing together.

Jones produced a whopping 168 records and had many songs making the top 40 lists on billboards.
George Jones' Hits Are:-

'IF DRINKIN DOES NOT KILL ME(HER MEMORY WILL)' , 'SHE THINKS I STILL I CARE' , 'WE'LL HOLD ON' , 'HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY' . . . .et.al are some of the treasures of country music!

His greatest number, He Stopped Loving Her Today, happened when he was going through the most troubled times as he had to check in a rehab ,but unable to stay beyond a month and he was almost down. . .but,he was never out !

Music in general and country music in particular has lost one legend whose shoes nobody ever has filled in and never will any be!

The void created by Jones' demise will be haunting forever!

Certainly Today For Millions of Music Lovers : 'Things Have Gone To Pieces' And It's Very Hard To Say : 'We'll Hold On' !

May Almighty Bless His Soul!

THE PANIC IN CHINA OVER THE H7N9 AVIAN FLU !

Again The Scourge Of Bird Flu Has Dawned In China In A More Lethal Influence If Go Unchecked Than The Earlier H5N1 Variant During 2003-07 That Had Killed More Than 300 People In China!

Since Mid February This Year When The First Case Of H7N9 Virus Was Detected In China, Over 20 People Have Died And Nearly 120 Are Infected Most Of Them Critically Ill.

There Has Been No Clarity Regarding The Exact Origin Of The H7N9 Virus Till Last Week And It Were Largely A Case Of Conjectures That The Lethal Virus Might Have Come From Chicken, Ducks, Pigeons . .et.al .

But, Now The Picture Is Increasingly Becoming Within Grasp As The Joint Investigations By The Chinese National Center For Prevention And Disease Control And The WHO's Expert Team, Have Arrived At Some,Not All, Conclusions On The Basis Of A Wide Study Of The Infected People And The Live Poultry !

The Result Of This Study Points Out That The H7N9 Virus Has Originated From The Live Poultry: Chickens n Pigeons Mainly.
That There Has Been No Evidence Of Possible Human-To-Human Transmission Of H7N9.
That The Category Of This Influenza A H7N9 Is Lethal.
That Quick Preventive Measures Be Taken In Order To Slow Down Its Spread Before It Becomes Beyond Control.
The Preventive Measures Includes CULLING OF LIVE POULTRY , SHUT DOWN OF SUCH FARMS, SEGREGATION OF INFECTED PEOPLE FOR SPECIALISED TREATMENT. . . .et.al !

The WHO Says It Is Closely Monitoring The Situations And Seeking Help From Other Advanced Medicine Research Centers In Europe And America For The Possibility of Vaccine Against This Avian Influenza .

The Symptoms Are Not Very Pronounced In Many Patients And That Poses Problems In Identification.

It Might Not Be A Surprise If Further Studies Show Signs Of Human-To-Human Transmissions!

Taiwan Has Confirmed Its First Case Of H7N9 ,But The Infected Man Used To Shuttle Between Taiwan And Jiangsu Province Of China.

The Main Affected Regions Are Shanghai, Zhinguan, Jiangsu, Henan.

Mostly The Urban People Are Infected.And, The Probability Of Elders Above 50 Being Infected Is Higher!

Much More Researches Are Required For Some Breakthrough !

HER ROYAL HIGHNESS,QUEEN ELIZABETH II,TURNS 87 !

Queen Elizabeth II, the reigning monarch of Britain and its 15 other commonwealth territories, turns 87 today!

The Queen has celebrated her birthday very privately at her favourite place,Windsor Palace,with family and close friends.

Since her birthday falls on sunday this year,there has not been any gun salutes today.It will be on the next day i.e. Tomorrow on Monday.

As per the customs,there will be 21 gun salutes fire at Hyde Park, 41 from the Great Park of Windsor and 61 gun shots atop the iconic Tower of London.
Lots of Singsong too!

There are surprisingly two birthdays of the current monarch : Personal and Official !
April 21st is her personal birthday And the official one falls on some saturday in June every year!

Her personal birthday has a bit less pageantry than that of the official one for the latter has the customary very spectacular Parade Songs, Known as TROOPING COLOUR.

The more common reason given behind this is that of the weather as the month of June has least chances of shower like that of in April famed for its spring downpours And that's why June has fairer time for such a celebratory occasion.

Edward VII,the earlier monarch,too,had two birthdays,the first i.e. The personal one was to be celebrated in November whereas the official in May or June !

All these seem quite unusual or at least without any sense whatsoever !
But, well, then The very institution of Monarchy In Modern Democracy, In Itself, Is Unusual Or At Least, Appears So As We Don't Have Any Sound Reasoning As Far As The Very Compatiblity Of The Twos : MONARCHY and DEMOCRACY !

The reigning monarch has seen a very special moment of her reign and that is that this year she completes 60yrs on her throne -- a record matchless in the british history,except QUEEN VICTORIA,who was the great great grand mother of the present queen.

And,if the current monarch gets past the month of September in 2015, she will break her granny's record of being the longest reigning Head of state !

MAY HER MAJESTY LIVE MORE AND GET PAST 2015 TO GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE LONGEST SERVING BRITISH MONARCH !

Happy Birthday,QUEEN ELIZABETH II !

PAKISTAN'S EX-PRESIDENT & ARMY CHIEF,GENERAL PERVEZ MUSHARRAF IN TROUBLED WATERS !

General Musharraf,who for almost nine years,was the main centre of power that he had obtained through a coup in Pakistan,had to rush out stealthily out of an Islamabad Courtroom where he was charged guilty and an arrest warrant issued !
YES! General Musharraf Fled Away In Nanoseconds Leaving Journos,Policemen,Lawyers dumstruck !

The Roaring Lion of Yesteryears Is A Lamb Of Today In Pakistan!

General Musharraf was escorted undercover by his nearly a dozen bodyguards in a flash and was put in a black colour bullet proof SUV and rushed to his sprawling bunglow situated at the outskirts of the Pakistani Capital.

All these happened in what we call in crime reports, broad daylight,precisely at noontime and amid a heavy populated court premises!

It was reported that General Musharraf's bail petition was summarily rejected and the high court issued an arrest warrant in connection with the General's imposition of Emergency Rule in 2007 under the garb of which almost all the senior judges including the chief justice of the Supreme Court were dismissed and substituted with the General's Men !

Musharraf's lawyer said he would appeal to the Supreme Court Against the High Court's Verdict of Arrest Warrant.
Also,by late evening,it was confirmed that the highest court of Pakistan i.e. THE SUPREME COURT accepted the appeal and the hearing thereupon would take place the next day i.e. FRIDAY !

There has been some reports suggesting Musharraf bail plea will surely be rejected in the supreme court and it might be possible that instead of a Jail, Musharraf's house will be converted into a Jail And that He will be under the HOUSE-ARREST !

Musharraf returned back to Pakistan after a couple of years that he had been absconding from the law as he is facing multiple charges including the highest offence of Treason!
He had been in Dubai,London and The United States And returned in hope of taking part in the general election slated for May this year!

Alas! All his hopes seem to be dashed as last week he was debarred from contesting elections on grounds of various criminal allegations n charges against him!

Musharraf has little support in his own nation now as his reign of 9yrs. Saw a massive crackdown on every seeming pillar of democracy And he is often being accused of diverting millions of US' AID for personal advantages!

THE IDIOT WILL HAVE HIS DUE !

second Oscar.

THE GODFATHER has two

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GABRIELA MISTRAL,CHILEAN POET AND NOBEL AWARDEE !

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
'' LOVE BEAUTY, FOR IT IS THE SHADOW OF GOD ON THIS UNIVERSE ! ''

Gabriela Mistral.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

GABRIELA MISTRAL, Chilean Poet nNobel Laureate, was born this day April 07, in 1889.

She got the Nobel For Literature in 1945 and happened to be the first from Latin America to hv Literature Nobel and overall the fourth woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize!

She also happened to be a tutor of sorts to the another Nobel Awardee ,her compatriot,PABLO NERUDA !

Born in the Vecan,a rural part of Chile,Mistral lost her father when she was just three and her mother took the charge of her.Her elder sister,a village school teacher,had given Gabriela her early education And that had influenced the young poet deeply.After mother,her elder sister,remained the most important female in her life.

Gabriela became a teacher at a young age of 15 and she had had her love interest during that period of her being an elemantary school teacher in some remote part of Chile.Her lover was working in the Railways.Unfortunately,the love episode ended prematurely.
She had to bear a great tragedy when her lover ended his life.

That incident was a life changer for the budding poet and her whole of early poetry writings bore the theme of Pain,Suffering n Lost Love !

In fact her whole poetic oeuvre is marked with a rather profound sense of loss!

Gabriela later on became a teacher at a college and had wonsome reputed Chilean Poetry Prize For her three Sonnets : THREE SONNETS OF DEATH !

She had attained considerable reputation inside her country as a poet and later on as the Culturen Education Minister of Chile. Her original interests in academia had gained her wide fame which she furthered later beyond her country in Mexico. She played as a guide in bringing reforms in Education in Mexico.

Gabriela Mistral Was Appointed As Chilean Diplomat And Given postings in various European Countries,SPAIN,FRANCE n ITALY being prominent.
Her reputation spreaded in Europe and she was awarded The Nobel Prize For Literature in 1945.
She donated her prize money for the benefits of Disadvantaged Children.

She was also associated with the League of Nations as Chile's representative and had played a pivotal role in the formation of UNICEF.

Mistral didn't marry and her young age dreams of being a mother ,kept haunting her and she wrote a great deal of Children Centric Literature And Many of Her Poems Carry The Theme of MATERNAL LOVE !

Her subjects were rather limited n repetitive,yet they contain a great deal of emotions that quickly make a chord with the readers!

Despite being a Nobel Laureate, She is little read today !

Gabriela also worked as visiting professor to Bernard College n Vassar College ,NY.

She died of Pancreatic Cance In Hempstead,NY, in 1957.

Her poetry has a great lyrical tempo and passionate appeal.

'DESTRUCTION' , 'TALA' , 'WRITING FOR WOMEN' are some of her famous works.

Happy Birthday,GABRIELA MISTRAL!

GEORGE HERBERT, English Poet n
Priest, Was Born This Day ,April 03,
In 1593 In A Noble Family In
Welsh,UK.

Herbert, after John Donne, is
considered as the most prominent
Metaphysical Poet.

He lived for just 40yrs and couldn't
desire his works be published
during his lifetime,and in fact,very
few people were in the know that
Herbert used to scribble verses!

At his deathbed he gave his
manuscript of poems to his closest
friend,NICHOLAS FERRER, in his
parish of Bemerton,Salisb
ury,UK,Where he worked as the
parson for 3yrs before his death in
1633, asking him to try to get
them published only if they were
of any use or help for any poor
soul.

He died of consumption on March
01, 1633.

Herbert's poems were published
immediately after his death --
thanks to his friend.And, It was an
instant hit !

By 1680,it is believed ,his poems'
collection had had twenty
reprints !

The Title Of That Anthology ,is 'THE
TEMPLE. . . .'.

Like other metaphysical poets,his
works,too,saw almost an
unhealthier negligence for
centuries! AND,LIKE OTHERS OF HIS
TIMES,GEORGE HERBERT BECAME A
FOCUS OF RE-EVALUATION AND
REVIVAL IN EARLY TWENTIETH
CENTURY.
And, by and large, now, Herbert Is
Revered as one of the most
important poets of 17th cent. AND
His poems are considered as
Samples for religious poetry
writings or poetry in general !

His Poems Are Deeply Devotional In
Their Outlay And They Represent
The Inner Life Of The Poet Full Of
Conversation To God And Poet's
Meditations On Subjects Like Love,
Religion, Life, World, Role Of The
Creator, Duties Of Human Beings,
True Objects Of Human Lives ,
Spirituality. . . .and themes like
these !

The Most Striking Feature Of
George Herbert's Poetry, Is Its
Language n Imagery.
To a modern reader the language
i.e. The Choices of Words, The
Usage of Diction, The Fine Display
Of Images Laden With Deep
Meanings Plus Emotional
Undercurrents, Are Simply
Astonishing !

In Minimal Approch Herbert's
Poems Carry Successfully, The
Maximum Substance!

The Freshness Of Language Is
Rarely Matched By Other Poets! His
Inspiration Was John Donne And
That Is Well Infered When We See
The Extended Usage Of Metaphors
In Herbert's Poems!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY,GEORGE
HERBERT !

MEXICAN AUTHOR AND LITERATURE NOBEL LAUREATE, OCTAVIO PAZ : RANDOM MUSINGS !

OCTAVIO PAZ ( March 31, 1914 -- June16, 1998 ) !

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Octavio Paz ,Mexican Poet,Essayist,Political Thinker,Diplomat and Nobel Winning Author, Is unarguably regarded as one of the best authors of 20th-Cent. ,who skillfully explored human existence in its varied perspectives and perceptions through his great works of poetry n prose!

Paz is viewed as one of the most authentic literary figures of modern times who keeps pushing linguistic boundaries and all through his writing career,tried to capture the possibilities inherent in words n language.

Born In Mexico and having spent great deal of times touring the world as lectures,diplomat,cultural ambassador. . .et.al , remained primarily a mexican dissecting the MEXICAN IDENTITY with the help of many disciplines like History, Anthropology,Religions,Philosophy n others.
His fine sense of bringing the past into the analyses of the present,makes him one of the top modernist authors .

LABYRINTHS OF THE SOLITUDE, DRAFT OF SHADOWS, CONFIGURATIONS, CONVERGENCES, WILD MOON, EAST SLOPES, THE MONKEY GRAMMARIAN. . . . .are some of his most admired works.

He also founded many literary n Mainstream Magazines and had done tremendously in encouraging newer talents via providing such literary platforms to them.

Octavio Paz Was Also A Journalist At His Start And Showed his likings for the Leftist Political Ideology And Such Political Quest Had Led Him To Participate In The Spanish Civil-War of 1937 wherein he, like many noted contemporary authors of his time(. .PABLO NERUDA was the foremost inspiration), whole heartedly supported the Republicans.

Sadly, and inevitably too, Octavio Paz Became Disheartened Plus Disappointed,(If not disillusioned completely), With The Real Workings Of The Leftists In Forms Of The Excesses They Had Wrecked !

Octavio Paz Got Many International Awards,Chief Amongst Them Are: CERVANTES AWARD, JERUSALEM PRIZE and The NOBEL FOR LITERATURE( 1990 ).

He died of Cancer at the age of 84 in 1998.
