water. Collection and utilization of rain water is vital in light of the fact

rain water flows down into the seas and the ocean. So a huge amount of water is
lost. The appropriate utilization of this flowing water is a great national

a) Critically appreciate the poem The Road
Not Taken??
Ans: This is an inspirational poem and quite
tricky, according to Robert Frost himself. The poem presents an anti-thesis.
The traveler comes to a fork and wishes to take both, which is impossible.
First, one of the roads is described as grassy and ‘wanting wear’, then he says
that both the roads look the same. This represents the eternal dilemma in man
when he finds the grass greener on the other side. This poem is call for the
reader to forge his or her way in life and not follow the path that others have
taken. This poem encourages self-reliance, reinforces the power of independent
thinking and sticking to one’s decisions. The poet does not moralize about
choice. He simply says that choice is inevitable and you will never know until
you have lived the difference. So there is nothing right or wrong about a
choice, it is all relative. Whatever direction one takes one must pack it with
determination and zest for one can never turn the clock back, or relive that
moment.

Describe the ideas of spirituality in the Vachana 820.

beautiful poem, Basvanna tells us that rich man can build temples for Shiva but
a poor man cannot afford it. He compares his body as temple, where his legs as
pillars, his body as shrine and his head as cupola. He says that things,
structures could destroy as passes but the soul which is a part of God cannot
destroy, it is eternal. He is comparing the human body to a temple because the
speaker was unable to construct temple and the speaker compared his body a
temple. As human soul is a part of God, similarly God’s idol is placed in the
temple as the soul lives in the body.
