Chapter XVII — The Bhagavad-Gita
Chapter XVII begins with Arjuna raising a thoughtful concern. He wonders what becomes of people who act out of faith without strictly following scriptural rules. Krishna responds with a detailed explanation that faith itself is shaped by one's inner qualities—what he calls the Gunas: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. Those with a sattvic nature develop faith in pure, uplifting things that lead toward wisdom and harmony. Rajasic individuals are drawn to restless desires, often seeking power or control in their…-

A MARRIAGE
A Marriage begins not with the glow of joy, but with a tone that suggests obligation rather than bliss. The wedding of a farmer’s daughter, instead of bringing laughter and community cheer, becomes a restrained and bittersweet occasion. At the heart of the story lies a simple truth—what society calls a celebration often conceals silent sacrifice. The setting, meant to be the family's chapel, had to be changed at the last moment due to failed permissions, and this inconvenience becomes a metaphor for…-

Though framed with humor, each stanza leaves a trace of horror, as roles aboard the doomed vessel…-

In this poem, Robinson channels the undercurrents of a strained marriage through a bitter conversation sparked by something as ordinary as children’s singing. The husband, practical and dismissive, sees no reason for his wife's unease. Yet her agitation reveals something deeper—an emotional restlessness awakened by a man from her past, whom she encountered…-

Ballad: The Two Majors
The Two Majors introduces a peculiar bond shared by two stern yet admired military officers whose command style thrives on discipline rather than praise. Major La Guerre and Major Makredi Preper, though gruff in demeanor, are paradoxically beloved by their men for their steadfast standards and unwavering consistency. Neither offers compliments, but both deliver sharp and frequent reprimands, which, surprisingly, becomes a badge of honor for their troops. This dynamic underscores a curious truth about…-
