Yup, you are right about Triton, Fariyal!. 😊

In my opinion, comparing Kunal to a sea-slug is not that bad... as Triton helped the Argonauts in the desert in finding passage from the lake back to the sea when they were stranded in the desert & the same way our hero-Mr. Chopra helped his wife in escaping from the goons when she was kidnapped... 😉

As far as Mr. Yeats's above poetry is concerned, it may sound a bit sad but I mentioned it on reading Purvi's comment of being an all-rounder... & remembering my good old school days when I use to play for my team as an opening batsman & my friends used to motivate me to become an all-rounder...😛

I really miss those school days & friends of mine & the way Mr.Yeats use to stare at his love through a book, I stare at my old days in the form of memories... though, I haven't lost my youth!!!!!!!!!! 😆

Hope, now you can understand why I mentioned Triton & Mr. Yeats's lines!!! 😳




Aww tnxs for explaining Shobhit, I get it now that you are only reminiscing about the good old days, but plzzz dont do it through this particular poem, as it all about dejection & failure, there is no optimism here.
Maybe you're familiar with Longfellow's "A lost youth" I only remember a couple of lines...
Strange to me now are the forms I meet
'When I visit the dear old town
.'...something something...'A boy's will is the wind's will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts."
Look it up its more apt for you😉
As for Kunal, yeah he could be a merman I suppose, though its not his lower torso that is of concern, it's the lack of a substantial upper story that usually irks me😆

Purvi yaar, sorry for spamming your thread, but Shobhit had me worried with that Yeats poem.😲

I have to say..you are a complete all rounder..I dint know you had a great sense of humour too!!😆😆


@ Purvi: Ha ha...

I don't think that I'm an all-rounder...Wish, this could have been the case as far as my cricketing skills are concerned... 😆 as I used to contribute to my team's success being an opening batsman only!!!!! 😆

Guess, this is what Mr. Yeats have to say for me by his poem: Men improve with years...

"I am worn out with dreams,
a weather-worn, marble Triton,
among the streams,
and all day long I look upon this lady's beauty,
as though I had found in a book a pictured beauty,
pleased to have filled the eyes or the discerning ears,
delighted to be wise,
for men improve with years,
and yet, and yet,
is this my dream or truth?
A weather-worn, marble Triton,
among the streams... "

Hope, you'll not get bored by my style of replying you in such a way!!!!! 😃

Shobhit..thats what your name is..I kept reminding myself how I will ask your name the next time I actually get a chance to reply to you, but I guess I was too mesmerized 😉 with your poems and shaayris that I completely forgot about it. You know that you would definitely not bore me with Yeats!! I am sure even though you were just a batsman, you would have been a good one😃. If not then I am sure you are one now, after all, man improve with years!!.😆 (don't tell me you have given up playing cricket too, because of your love for auto-mobile😛).
As far as the above poem goes, this is probably Yeats at his best!! such a reflective piece of work!! "I am worn out with dream" rings bell...as if its my very own experience. It shows how much the poet is lost somewhere, maybe in the truth of life or maybe his dreams..In short...irony with ease..such is life I guess.. !!





Hello Mr Shobit [ not sure if i pronounced it right]... Longtime i am seeing post from you...
Whenever i see your ID, reminds me of that blooper thread we had fun talking about... 😉

First of all,
BILAMBITA SUBHO NABABARSHA

I liked the above poem...
We are the overwhelming minority species active on this forum...😉
Good to know you were an opening batsman...I used to perform all roles including WK...
Does not matter what you are on the team, as long as u are contributing for the team's cause, matters at the end... Similarly pls continue to contribute to this forum with your posts...

Sorry Purvi, to take up your thread... (Mr. Amrish, you are absolutely ok using any of my threads for anything at all. please don't apologise..😊)




Hi Shamrish!
I'm glad to know that you remember my post... 😊

Shamrish, I'm really sorry for sounding so dumb, but I would like to know the meaning of "BILAMBITA SUBHO NABABARSHA" that you mentioned!!!

Is it Bengali????

As far as my contribution to this forum is concerned, I would be more than happy to do so...but don't think that I have even a slightest of the ability to write good posts as other members of this forum like Fariyal, you, Purvi, Shumi, Rani, Tanya & others ( My apologies to the members whom I haven't mentioned as I don't know the names of all the members but what I do know is that all of them are just too good...👏). Shobhit I would like to see more contributions from you to this forum, since I have already concluded that you have a great sense of humour and some humour dosage here and there would not hurt at all😆. you dont need to underplay by saying that you dont have the ability to write a good post. I am sure, you are very well aware of your own talent.

I was very happy on being the silent member of this forum (As I have stopped posting my own threads) but some recent posts by Purvi just compelled me to share my opinion with you all as she actually made the dormant poet in me turn active!!!! 😆. (I think I told you how you don't come across as a amateur poet at all...silence doesn't help when your writings can speak volumes...it would be a pleasure to read your posts and comments. so hang around and be there whenever possible😊)

I just hope that this dormant poet shall be active more often now and post as and when possible. since my posts have compelled you to turn active again, I want to make sure that they keep you active more often😆

@ blue-Not to worry Fari, you are ok using any of my threads for anything at all..its probably my fault that Shobhit ended up with this Yeats lines...I don't know how I can see this poem as one of the classics written by Yeats...somehow, I can relate to it so much!! 😆😆. anyway, you are completely ok to use any of my threads as and when you want😊

Fariyal, I have read the poem "My lost youth" by Mr. Longfellow & I'm really thankful to you for making me remember such a beautiful work of literature!!!! 😊

Guess, I got too lost in my memories of the past... but not to worry as my youth is still with me... 😆

Purvi, it is very much a classic & one of the finest from this great Irish poet but its so melancholic, he talks about failure, he sees no hope & questions if its a dream or the truth. is he worthy of being a real man or just a statue among the streams😔 No one should think of themselves as a weather-worn marble triton among the streams...

Purvi, you seem to have developed lot of confidence regarding me in a very short span of time...😆

Yes, I was a good batsman ( though don't like to boast about it..😳) but sorry to disappoint you...as yes, I don't play cricket so often now... blame it on my hectic schedule & my love towards PSP which has shifted my focus to virtual gaming... (Though, my interest in automobiles cannot be over-shadowed by anything... 😉).

Last but not the least, you being mesmerized by my writings... is something which has made me speechless... I'm elated!!!

Fariyal, don't worry... I can't even dare to think of myself as a" weather-worn marble Triton among the streams"... specially after reading your views on it!!!! 😆

Purvi, kindly ignore the poem that I had mentioned!!!!!🤢

Is it fine now, Fariyal!!! 😉

True Shamrish, that no matter to what region we belong, we are Indians first...
Our country really needs people with thoughts like you... so, wishing you a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR as well!!!

I'm not from Bengal as I work in Jaipur, Rajasthan!
I actually came to know that the text written by you was in Bengali because my browser detected the text & pointed that it can be in Bengali so I asked you to confirm it.

However, you are a good writer & would like to thank you for liking my posts!!! 😊

Please, don't be a silent member as the posts by you people only inspire me to share my views on this forum!!!!!!

Sure ..you are right!! no human life is worthy to be compared to a 'weather-worn marble triton among the streams'. maybe the writer is just trying to portray the complexity of life at that point of time in his life!! I guess poems can be really indecisive, ... expressive yet irresolute!!😊
