Robert Frost and Bob Dylan

                            Bob Dylan


Robert Dylan is an American singer-songwriter, author and visual artist. Often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture during a career spanning 60 years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowing' in the Wind" (1963) and "The Times They Are a-Changing" (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and anti -war movements. In 2016 he was awarded The Nobel Prize in Literature .

Robert Frost 

Robert Lee Frost was an American poet. His work was initially published in England before it was published in the United States. Frost was honored frequently during his lifetime and is the only poet to receive four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry. He became one of America's rare "public literary figures, almost an artistic institution".[3] He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his poetic works. On July 22, 1961, Frost was named poet laureate of Vermont.

Thinking Activity 



1.)Write down the message you want to give from your lyrics.
Ans) Message behind the Song Khwabon ke Parindey is based on freedom. Freedom is the choice to live our life on our own way .
How we want to live, what we want to eat by choice and to learn what our heart desires. This means that freedom can apply to different aspects of life and that freedom is  an absolute term. Freedom is about respect and living free.

Freedom is based on three different aspects 
1.The first kind of freedom is “freedom from,” a freedom from the constraints of society.

2.Second, is “freedom to,” a freedom to do what we want to do. 

3.Thirdly, there is “freedom to be,” a freedom, not just to do what we want, but a freedom to be who we were meant to be.

For example freedom is a bird being let out of a cage and flying freely. 
This was  the message behind the Song(lyrics) khwabon ke Parindey .

2.)Which Poem/Song of Bob Dylan/Robert Frost is relatable with your Video. Why?
Ans) Poem written by Robert Frost The freedom of Moon . This poem of Robert Frost is based on freedom of humanity.
     The speaker in Frost poem demonstrates the complete freedom of humanity by dramatizing the ability of the human mind to use its physical body paradoxically to relocate the moon's positions. The freedom of the moon heralds the greater freedom of humankind. 
     The message behind the Song khwabon ke Parindey is also based on freedom .  This poem  is related to my video.
