Thank you so much Talat Ji, Jasbir Ji n Rajesh Ji for taking the time to read my thoughts. As promised, I am back with more stuff
Ok – So, we were saying that the words have so much power which can influence people. Now, one can say why only poetry can affect the relationship why not ordinary words. Well, the power is within the words and consequently in the poetry which make of words. So, then why poetry can affect so much then the ordinary words? I would say: this is the way to expressing. In poetry, the words are put together or used in such a way that it contain so much power which can impact your mind your thoughts your thinking. Let’s take one of the examples which I have mentioned earlier. So, you will feel the difference between the ordinary lines and poetry.
“Hamare ander ab marne ki asha jag chuki hai. Chalo dekhte hai ke unki bahoon mein kitna zor hai“
Or
:Sir firoshi ki tammna ab hamare dil mein hai,
Dekhna hai zor kitna bajuz-e-qatil mein hai:
This same thing has been spoken in those two different lines but the impact of the second phrase is much higher than the first. All, I am trying to say is that the words which are used and make poetry would have much power than the ordinary ones. So, if you are a Shayar then you will think differently on a particular matter then those persons who are not Shayar. That is what Talat ji has said earlier that sometime a thing might be “normal” for her but it can drive others mad. Because she is a Shayar, she has developed her thoughts in different way.
Having said all of this, I would also like to mentioned that it is true that a relationship can be affected if a partner is Shayar but it also depends what kind of Shayar he/she is. Let’s take an example: if a person is a Shayar and always write poems in “Dard” then his/her thoughts, thinking would be completely different then the one who write on “Ishq”. Let’s say two Shayars are walking in Jungle. One who always write on Dard and other on Ishq. They both see a flower in the middle of a jungle. The one who always write on Ishq would normally say:
“Veeraniyo mein ik phool khila dekha to dilbhar
Mujhko tere nazuk se hoonthoon ki yaad aayi”
And the other would normally say:
:Tu kyu veraniyo mein akela khada hai ‘e phool
Kya tujhko bhi koi chod gya hai meri trah:
So, now one question will stand – how one make his/her interest to write in a particular area? All I can say is: it depends on the circumstances in which you were when you started writing poetry and also it depends on your childhood. In which circumstances you grew up and developed your emotions/feelings/thoughts and thinking.
3 – Eastern / Western culture and emotions.
Every culture has its own values and thoughts. You can not say that Eastern culture is correct or Western. If you are living in or coming from Eastern of course you will say that our eastern culture is much better than the western. The reason is you are grew up in Eastern culture and you won’t be able to understand the values if western culture. Your thinking on one particular matter would be totally different then the western people. I would like to describe this in an example.
I am from eastern culture and my other half is from western. Sometimes we both feel that our thinking on a particular matter is different. One very simple example –
