  • Stephen Spender Prize 2020 Suggested Poems for Youth Entries
    Stephen Spender Prize 2020 Suggested poems for youth entries GUJARATI You can enter an English translation of any poem from any language for the Stephen Spender Prize. Below we have gathered some suggestions in particular aimed at youth entrants and their teachers. Take a look at our full set of resources for entering the prize. Find out more about the prize. Watch these films by previous winners of the prize 1 Stephen Spender Trust is a registered charity, number 1101304. [email protected] www.stephen-spender.org General notes on translating Gujarati poetry • The Gujarati language permits sentence formation without a declared subject. For English it may sometimes be necessary to include a specific pronoun. Choose a pronoun according to what seems to work for the context. • Over the years, the language has evolved to include more specificity in words. With the advent of formal dictionaries, it is common to find “formal” or “approved” usage for terms. In looking up words, it is a good idea to check cognate or neighboring words, or to check where the word came from. • A great deal of Gujarati poetry is often sung or at least recited. This means that “spoken word” presentation works really well for this material. Often, the couplet structure is constructed so that the first quatrain, second quatrain and third quatrain can each be repeated before reciting the fourth quatrain. Also, a refrain is often repeated at the end of every stanza. This seems to be true for most lyrics and specific types such as the ghazal. Usually, the sung or recited version will have a note of the number of repetitions in parentheses.

  • Development Without Destruction
    Development Without Destruction Economics of the Spinning Wheel Nandini Joshi 1 2 Development Without Destruction Economics of the Spinning Wheel Nandini Joshi Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad- 380 014 3 Rs. 100/- @ Nandini Joshi First edition Copies 1000 November 1992 Printed & Published by Jitendra T- Desai Navajivan Mudranalaya, Ahmedabad-380 014 4 for my parents JYOTSNA and UMASHANKAR JOSHI 5 6 PREFACE This book is an attempt to put forward a simple but, for that very reason, powerful concept of the spinning wheel (the charkha). The concept derives its conviction from the fact that the charkha provides a concrete strategy, universally available to one and all, which has a tremendous impact both on the individual and on society. It is incredible as well because it offers, as this book proposes to discuss, a specific solution to complex problems, an unmistakable solution to perplexing problems and a common solution to a multitude of problems simultaneously. The charkha is of course an age-old instrument belonging to all parts of the world till just two centuries ago. After the 'industrial revolution', it was Mahatma Gandhi who revived it in India, achieved great success and yet could not, during his lifetime, achieve his cherished dream he had perceived through it. As a philosopher has put it, no force is so powerful as the idea whose time has come. Is the charkha such an idea? Although the charkha is usually considered a useful instrument in some cases, the purpose of this book is to indicate that it is indispensable for tackling a multitude of problems.

  • Crossing the Rivers Crossing the Rivers
    From BB&CI Magazine, December 1924 issue CROSSING THE RIVERS NOTABLE BRIDGES ON THE B.B. & C.I. ROUTE When the project of connecting Ahmedabad and Bombay by a line of railway was first conceived it may be imagined that the projectors, on consulting their maps, must have instantly realized that, as far as the “lie of the land” was concerned, the route was more favourable than the routes of the lines projected to lead eastward, north-eastward and south-eastward from Bombay, the lines that, at all costs, had to be driven through the Ghats. Parallel with the west coast, it was apparent that the southward line to Bombay would, throughout its entire length, be unimpeded by any considerable geological tumuli. So far as that particular source of obstruction was concerned, its path was fairly clear. The terrain was favourable. There remained, however, for recognition the unvarying fact of physical geography that, usually, rivers, however remote their source and however tortuous their course, eventually find their way to the sea; and thus a line of railway extending along a littoral tract for a great distance must naturally be carried over a number of seaward flowing streams at the widest part of their courses. Examination of the position must have shown that although the Western Ghats could be evaded by the proposed line, the rivers draining the Vindhya, the Satpura, and the Aravalli hills, would have to be bridged at the lower end of their courses, and only a short distance from the point where they disembogue into the sea.
