REVIEW OF POEM "A BRIEF LOVE LETTER"

Nizar Tawfiq Qabbani was a Syrian diplomat, poet and publisher. His poetic style combines simplicity and elegance in exploring themes of love, eroticism, feminism, religion, and Arab Nationalism. He is one of the most revered contemporary poets in the Arab World. “A Brief Love Letter” is one of his famous poem. This is a poem with great flow. He starts the poem by addressing his love. He expresses that everything in her is princely. He says that this short book contains us and tomorrow when he return the pages, he feels that everything will be longing to be green. He also mention his love one to ignore what people say about him. He ends the poem by questioning “what would the world have been if we had not been together?” This is a perfect poem which expresses true love. The poet starts the poem with a rhythmic flow. This poem also shows that the poet is passionate about his love.

REVIEW OF POEM- TELEVISION

Roald Dahl was born in Wales in 1916. His first book “The Gremlins” was published in the year 1943. He is the author of popular books such as “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “James and the Giant Peach”. Besides writing books, Dahl was also a poet. He blended both humor and truth into his poetry and released several poetry collections. “Television” is one of his famous poem. This poem is a warning for parents, if literature was absent from their children’s lives. This is a poem with great flow and rhyme scheme. It’s fun to read and captivating to children. The poem has a very clear message to parents and children. Dahl begins by introducing the danger of the television.  Dahl describes children who watch TV by stating that they “slop and lounge about,” and “sit and stare and stare and sit/Until they're hypnotized by it.” The television brainwashes children and Dahl even suggests that it causes them to be “absolutely drunk/With all that shocking ghastly junk.” Television actually becomes a harmful addiction for children who watch too much and become “hypnotized” by that fictional world. Television doesn’t allow children to use their imagination, think, and wonder.  Dahl is passionate about allowing children to have the power to imagine through literature. This is a perfect poem to show children the importance of literature. Dahl uses the humour to convey an important message. He encourages reading and shows how it can be fun and interesting.

VISIT TO ‘FUN REPUBLIC’



Fun Republic Mall is the second mall in Coimbatore city from E-City ventures of the Essel group. It is located on Avinashi Road in Peelamedu area in the city and it is in the center of many educational institutions. The mall brings together some of the top brands in the retail sector like Shoppers Stop, Reliance Group, Lee, Anita Dongre and the fast food giant McDonalds etc... from different business segments. This mall is mainly targeting the student population nearby as well as the middle and upper classes.
The significant feature about the mall, apart from its location, is its design. The six level building  has a large dome-shaped structure and front view of the shops and restaurants of the mall faces a beautiful atrium. The total number of retailers in the mall is around 50.Here Shoppers Stop is the key brand and another popular retailer is the Reliance Mart. There are two basement levels provided for car parking. The Reliance Mart where most of the families opt for daily shopping is placed at the ground floor which is convenient for them to purchase and thus it saves time. The entrance of the mall you can see the fast food giant McDonald’s. Because of this it attracts more customers to the mall. For every one who visits the mall it provides a good arena to refresh relax and enjoy.
Some of the problems faced by the customers are like AC was not functioning properly, less number of lifts and there are no indications for the lift, escalator was not working, latrines were not properly cleaned, parking area is very dusty. One of the recommendations suggested by a customer was to introduce a desi restaurant in the ground floor so that as soon as they are done with their shopping they can hog in restaurant instead of climbing till the sixth floor. Another complaint by the customer is the unwanted unnecessary security checking’s which irritate the customers. We would like to suggest that mall should bring in some more entertainment like scary house, play area and  more game stalls inorder to attract more youngsters.
