Wuthering heights : the unforgettable love story

I am not so fond of romantic fictions when it comes to reading. I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen but at the end I had this wretched feeling about myself compared to Lizzy and promised myself I shall never read a love story again. But naturally I would break my promise and renew it over and over again. But there is only one love story i don't regret reading. That is Wuthering Heights.

I've never read a more passionate story than Wuthering Heights. Written in 18th century by Emily Bronte, in the same century when the Austen's Pride and Prejudice was written, this unique classic relates a story of a mysterious character called Heathcliffe and his love interest Catherine. The timeline expands to three generations not missing a single element of its strange wildness and intensity.

Wuthering Heights is not a story of refined love, sophisticated conversations and delightful settings. It's an incredible narration of love at its barest and rawest forms. It's not only about love, but also about hatred, sorrow, revenge and every other fervent feelings you can think of.

I had something like a headache, a heavy feeling of my head, the whole time I read the book. It was that much vehement for me. But I will love it always.

The lamb : blake's depiction of innocence

William Blake is one of my favourite poets. I love his themes , his diction and elegant rhyming of the verses. His poems have deeper meaning when analysed carefully which are very interesting but to get hold of that actual intended meaning i often have to read a book or an article.

 But i prefer interpreting poems on the basis of my taste and understanding. And that my own interpretation is the reason i remember some of my favourite poems. The lamb is one of them.

The lamb    by William Blake

little lamb who made thee
dost thou know who made thee
gave thee life and bid thee feed
by the stream and o'er the mead
gave thee clothing of delight
softest clothing wooly and bright
gave thee such a tender voice
making all the vales rejoice
little lamb who mad thee
dost thou know who made thee

little lamb i'll tell thee
little lamb i'll tell thee
he is called by thy name
for he calls himself a lamb
he is meek and he is mild
he became a little child
i a child and thou a lamb
we are called by his name
little lamb God bless thee
little lamb God bless thee


I would like to appreciate this poem as a beautiful dialogue of purity and innocence. It builds up a picture of large innocent eyes of young lamb or a little child, not polluted yet by the life experience.

The delicate use of phrases such as "clothing of delight", "softest clothing", "tender voice", "wooly and bright" further enhances the naivety illustrated throughout. I find the last two phrases of the poem as the peak of its sincerity. The phrase "little lamb God bless thee" is something unforgettable for me because it evokes a powerful expression of affection bestowed towards a fellow member of mother nature.

I am not a Christian and i don't believe in God. But that phrase which is full of love uttered to a little lamb makes my heart lighter every time i read this poem..

12 angry men : a film you must watch

Watching movie from 1950s sounded weird for the first time when a good friend of mine recommended this great movie "12 angry men" for me. But today I am ever so grateful for my friend and for myself for the choice I made. That's why I want to spread the news for all those who love watching movies. You will not regret it.

It's movie about life, people and values. And it's movie that is totally worthy of your time

For the most part of the movie, the location is a room with 12 men inside it. They are the jurors of a murder trial who have been asked to give a decision fully in agreement. The verdict looks obviously guilty but the tension begins when one juror stands against all other 11 men and declares his doubt.

Henry Fonda plays that one juror, an ordinary person with a great sense of responsibility, who became an unforgettable hero of my life. Each time he said "i don't know" with that perplexed expression on his face , i remember how I held my breath.

 The rest of the characters are the people we meet everyday in our lives including yourself, and after watching the movie you will ponder who you are out of the 12 men and who you should become.
