ThAct: Indian Poetics

This blog task is part of thinking activity given by Barad sir.

               Indian poetics is the study of poetry in India. It's all about how poems are made and what makes them special. Indian poets have been creating beautiful verses for thousands of years, and Indian poetics helps us understand how they do it.

1. Rasa: 

-> Rasa is like the different flavors of emotions in poetry. Just like how different foods make you feel different things (like happy with chocolate or calm with tea), poems are made to make you feel emotions like love, joy, sadness, or fear.

2. Dhvani: 

-> Dhvani is like a secret message in poetry. It's not just what you see on the surface, but the deeper meaning behind the words. It's like reading between the lines to understand what the poet is really trying to say.

3. Auchitya: 

-> Auchitya is about being just right. It's like wearing clothes that fit perfectly—not too big, not too small, but just right. In poetry, it means using words and expressions that fit perfectly and make sense in the context of the poem.

4. Vakrokti: 

-> Vakrokti is adding a little twist or surprise to poetry. It's like a plot twist in a story that makes you go, "Wow!" Poets use vakrokti to make their poems more interesting and keep readers engaged.

5. Riti: 

-> Riti is your own style or way of writing poetry. It's like having your own special handwriting that makes your poems uniquely yours. Every poet has their own riti that sets them apart from others.

6. Alankar: 

-> Alankar is like the decorations on a cake that make it look pretty and taste delicious. In poetry, alankar is using things like metaphors, similes, and alliteration to make your poems beautiful and pleasing to the ear.

                    These elements work together to create the magic of Indian poetry, making it a delightful experience for both poets and readers alike.
