March 20th 2019A Story by anandboseIt's a narrative about daily lifeI started writing
this journal in the evening. I watch twilight drowning in an array of colors.
Then all of sudden, clouds darkened and it seemed that it will rain. 21st
March 2019 is a big day of my life for me. I have purchased the Kerala Lottery
Summer Bumper draw of Rupees 4 Crores. I hope that Jehovah Jesus will do a
wedding at Cana for me. I am watching the clouds attain a pale face. Night is
slowly coming to sleep on the horizon. My mind is soaked in the rich
impressionism of the setting sunset. Today I was able to do some creative
writing. I have read another Parable of Jesus and in it: a planter sows seeds:
the enemy comes at night and sows thistles. The workers ask the master: should
we eliminate the thistles now? Then the master replies that let them both grow together
and during the harvest time: the master will separate the rotten from the hunky
dory. It is evident that the Master (Jesus) is talking about his second coming.
And when the master comes the succulent will be separated from the thorns. I
admire the tapestry of marvel, a literary device with which Jesus addressed the
crowds. I am thinking of a language lab to better the speech of the children in
English. I am still reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez. I wonder
why the novel became an all time favorite, a recipient of the Nobel Prize. The
novel is set on an 18 century foundation and its narrative is the traditional
form of the Novel. The tropes used by Marquez lack new flavor, an odor of
nascence. The narrative is one of realism and proceeds on a linear pattern.
However I admire the way in which Marquez portrays eroticism. There’s a scene in which Buendia makes love
to a Gypsy woman. Eroticism is a passionate music and Marquez has fielded the
magic so well. The novel has attained the flavor of magic realism. There’s a
description of Ursula the wife of Buendia seeing visions of a man murdered by
Buendia. There’s also a narrative of the
warlock Malequades dying in fever in Singapore. How can an 18 century novel transport
it character to Singapore? © 2019 anandbose |
