• Review on Vinod joshi sir's Interview on " Sairandhri ".

Hello, everyone here I am going to talk about most famous Gujarati poet Vinod joshi and his interview.

Vinod Joshi is a postmodern Gujarati poet, writer and critic from Gujarat, India. His notable works include Parantu, a collection of Geets, Shikhandi, a long narrative poem based on Shikhandi, a character from the Mahabharata. He is the recipient of the Jayant Pathak Puraskar (1985), Critic's award (1986), Kavishwar Dalpatram Award (2013), Sahitya Gaurav Puraskar (2015), Narsinh Mehta Award (2018), and Kalapi Award (2018).

• Sairandhri by Vinod joshi

Structures:- 

He published this poem in 2018.This metrical poem composed in prabandha form with seven cantos, 49 chapters and 1800 lines. It is based on Draupadi, one of the characters of Hindu epic Mahabharata. Here poet tried to explain Draupadi's feeling and thoughts. As a part of languages I can find that poet used figurative language, personification, meters, Chopai and Dohra in ' Sairandhri '. Here poet used Shrigar rasa also. Moreover I added that ' language always applied and each language has own valluations '. Normally creation of poem is reflection of poet's thoughts and reflection of background language. So here Vinod joshi born in rural area so He handed down his rural words in poem

Vinod joshi wrote one prabandh kavya " sairandhri". The event and poem basically takes place on India but as it is written in Australia It reflects the character of Draupadi. The poem recalls the memory of MAHABHARATA. Specially a VIRAT PARV ; when pandva and Draupadi live in king virat's palace. They live in " Agyat vas ". They hide their identity. In Hastinapur Draupadi was a queen but here in palace she leaves as a Maidservant of King virat's wife. In Hastinapur she gets help of shri Krishna and bheema and many more but here she can't find anyone's help. Here vinod joshi's Sairandhri was quite differ from mahabharat. Vinod joshi applied his imagination in poem. He writes that sairandhri like to karna in first sight when her # swaymvar # is happening. Her first like karma. Arjun was the second for her. karn was her first choice and Arjun was second choice. Karna was also hide his identity as he was the son of Kuntama. So, both are hiding their identity. so here vinod joshi draw his imagination world. so, in poem we can saw the question of identity. Five pandvas, Draupadi and karna hide themselves.
.
    So, here Vinod sir present love story of Sairandhri and karna which was quite different from MAHABHARATA. From this poem we also for a while try to think on this type of condition, imagination. So it was a good poem which shows another perspective of the Mabharat's scene.

Thank you
