Poetry is a medium least explored. Partly because it demands your full attention and partly because it acts as a mirror and people are terrified to face their true self. This podcast is personal. Personal in the sense that, this is my journey to find myself through the immortal verses of centuries. Through these episodes I’ll be reading poems of my choice and will try to interpret them to the best of my ability. You may accompany me in this road, I am the explorer here and anyone curious enough can walk with me.

IF by Rudyard Kipling
<p><strong>IF<br> </strong></p> <p><strong>BY </strong><a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/rudyard-kipling"><strong>RUDYARD KIPLING</strong></a></p> <p>(‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)</p> <p>If you can keep your head when all about you</p> <p>Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,</p> <p>If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,</p> <p>But make allowance for their doubting too;</p> <p>If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,</p> <p>Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,</p> <p>Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,</p> <p>And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:</p> <p>If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;</p> <p>If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;</p> <p>If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster</p> <p>And treat those two impostors just the same;</p> <p>If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken</p> <p>Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,</p> <p>Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,</p> <p>And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:</p> <p>If you can make one heap of all your winnings</p> <p>And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,</p> <p>And lose, and start again at your beginnings</p> <p>And never breathe a word about your loss;</p> <p>If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew</p> <p>To serve your turn long after they are gone,</p> <p>And so hold on when there is nothing in you</p> <p>Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’</p> <p>If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,</p> <p>Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,</p> <p>If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,</p> <p>If all men count with you, but none too much;</p> <p>If you can fill the unforgiving minute</p> <p>With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,</p> <p>Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,</p> <p>And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!</p>

Where The Mind Is Without Fear
<h1>Where The Mind Is Without Fear (Gitanjali 35)</h1> <p>BY <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/rabindranath-tagore">RABINDRANATH TAGORE</a></p> <p>Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;</p> <p>Where knowledge is free;</p> <p>Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;</p> <p>Where words come out from the depth of truth;</p> <p>Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;</p> <p>Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;</p> <p>Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action</p> <p>Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.</p>
