Briefly Define Sonnet


                  What is Sonnet?
                             
It is a type of song which carries only fourteen lines, written in iambic pentameter. On another hand, it is a way of expressing inner feelings or emotions through lyrical sense and make the readers more and more understandable. It is also fact that sonnet has only fourteen lines because in my previous class only 14 lines introduced by my teacher and I found with the taste of literary notes only 14 lines, got it into two different forms, forms of William Shakespeare, is known as Shakespearean Sonnet and another forms of Petrarch ,is known as Petrarchan sonnet. Shakespearean Sonnet has three quatrains and a heroic couplet,also known as English Sonnet, it's scheme is abab,cdcd,efef,gg. Petrarchan Sonnet has two groups octave and sestet, is known as Italian Sonnet, it's scheme is abbaabba,cdecde. Everyone knows about it mentioned by me above but I am going to expose some hidden things that Sonnet might be into twelve lines because after going through 154 sonnets of William Shakespeare, I found a sonnet which has only twelve lines, Sonnet no. is 126.
                                  Sonnets have some similarities between objectives, Shakespearean Sonnet dedicated to his love as Italian Sonnet because Petrarchan also dedicated to his love by lyrical taste of literature first in the world. Many poets have gone through the concept of sonnets but only two names echoed in the mind of readers across the whole world. I think, main themes of sonnets as Love, Time and Death to be dealt by them squencely.

Transformation of Indian Culture

           Key words   [ Introduction of culture, transformation of culture, socialization, castisim, individualism, impact of materialism, detoreation of morality and conclusion ] As we all know that culture is the backbone of any society in the world. Each society has its own culture in the different parts of the world that is followed by the people of that particular area. It is a simple word in listening and speaking but I mean that it has very large area of meaning but not so easy to define and discuss without vision of clear society.I like to call a statement said by MK Gandhi in his culture and civilization.He said that it is a mode of conduct.  It is that kind of thing in which the society is running with its own way.  In my area of knowledge regarding culture of our society, culture is the vital part of any society, so my question is that first of all,we must be familiar with society ?Another question of mine, what it is society?

It is true that Shakespeare is the greatest dramatist of the world but his sonnets retain their timeless appeal because poet's gradual development as well as artist in terms of his intuitive awareness of paradoxes in human nature,  yet part of the enduring charm of their lyrical poems lies in the poets craftsmanship.He defies and modifies elevated thoughts and feelings for dramas as well as poems.His sonnets after Invariable problems; reflect wide variety of poets moods and feelings arranging from Jubilication to Cynism and from a desire to celebrate friendship and true love to an awareness of betrayal and infatuation even from the point of address for invocation of his sonnets are varied in tone,moods and expression
