The World Brands Foundation. TWBF [formerly the Asia Pacific Brands Foundation (APBF)] was established over a decade ago, in 2005, and is the world’s premier branding foundation. As a trendsetter for branding with divergence, the Foundation was rebranded to reach new echelons of prominence. Its primary objectives include the promotion of brands, the heightening of branding practices and inculcation of first-rate brand culture in the arena of entrepreneurship. The BrandLaureate, a sobriquet for brand excellence, was instituted to facilitate its vision and mission, simultaneously fulfilling the objectives of TWBF.

While brands often stand for organisations, products and services, they can also mirror individuals who are unique and embody exceptional qualities in their own right. An outstanding brand resonates as a succinct source of information and motivation for many – both in the real and digital realities. It remains incontrovertible that high-ideal brands bearing a strong identity play an important role universally – able to effectively stamp a mark and impact the equilibrium of society as a whole progressively. The Foundation does its part by honouring and recognizing exceptional individuals and entities that have redefined the benchmark of excellence – remarkable archetypes which have given their best to the world through their respective fields of expertise.

Indian engineer Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya

एक ट्रेन तेज गति से दौड़ रही थी, ट्रेन अंग्रेजों से भरी हुई थी, उसी ट्रेन के एक डिब्बे में अंग्रेजों के साथ एक भारतीय भी बैठा हुआ था।

डिब्बा अंग्रेजों से खचाखच भरा हुआ था। वे सभी उस भारतीय का मजाक उड़ाते जा रहे थे। कोई कह रहा था, देखो कौन नमूना ट्रेन में बैठ गया, तो कोई उनकी वेश-भूषा देखकर उन्हें गंवार कहकर हँस रहा था।कोई तो इतने गुस्से में था कि ट्रेन को कोसकर चिल्ला रहा था, एक भारतीय को ट्रेन मे चढ़ने क्यों दिया ? इसे डिब्बे से उतारो।

किँतु उस धोती-कुर्ता, काला कोट एवं सिर पर पगड़ी पहने शख्स पर इसका कोई प्रभाव नही पड़ा।वह शांत गम्भीर भाव लिये बैठा था, मानो किसी उधेड़-बुन मे लगा हो।

ट्रेन द्रुत गति से दौड़े जा रही थी औऱ अंग्रेजों का उस भारतीय का उपहास, अपमान भी उसी गति से जारी था।किन्तु यकायक वह शख्स सीट से उठा और जोर से चिल्लाया “ट्रेन रोको”।कोई कुछ समझ पाता उसके पूर्व ही उसने ट्रेन की जंजीर खींच दी।ट्रेन रुक गईं।

अब तो जैसे अंग्रेजों का गुस्सा फूट पड़ा।सभी उसको गालियां दे रहे थे,गंवार, जितने भी शब्द शब्दकोश मे थे, बौछार कर रहे थे,किंतु वह शख्स गम्भीर मुद्रा में शांत खड़ा था। मानो उसपर किसी की बात का कोई असर न पड़ रहा हो, उसकी चुप्पी अंग्रेजों का गुस्सा और बढा रही थी।

ट्रेन का गार्ड दौड़ा-दौड़ा आया. कड़क आवाज में पूछा, “किसने ट्रेन रोकी”।
कोई अंग्रेज बोलता उसके पहले ही, वह शख्स बोल उठा:- “मैंने रोकी श्रीमान”।
पागल हो क्या ? पहली बार ट्रेन में बैठे हो ? तुम्हें पता है, अकारण ट्रेन रोकना अपराध हैं:- “गार्ड गुस्से में बोला”
हाँ श्रीमान ! ज्ञात है किंतु मैं ट्रेन न रोकता तो सैकड़ो लोगो की जान चली जाती।

उस शख्स की बात सुनकर सब जोर-जोर से हंसने लगे। किँतु उसने बिना विचलित हुये, पूरे आत्मविश्वास के साथ कहा:- यहाँ से करीब एक फरलाँग की दूरी पर पटरी टूटी हुई हैं।आप चाहे तो चलकर देख सकते है।

गार्ड के साथ वह शख्स और कुछ अंग्रेज सवारी भी साथ चल दी। रास्ते भर भी अंग्रेज उस पर फब्तियां कसने मे कोई कोर-कसर नही रख रहे थे।
किँतु सबकी आँखें उस वक्त फ़टी की फटी रह गई जब वाक़ई , बताई गई दूरी के आस-पास पटरी टूटी हुई थी,नट-बोल्ट खुले हुए थे,अब गार्ड सहित वे सभी चेहरे जो उस भारतीय को गंवार, पागल कह रहे थे।वे उसकी और कौतूहलवश देखने लगे, मानो पूछ रहे हो आपको ये सब इतनी दूरी से कैसे पता चला ?

गार्ड ने पूछा:- तुम्हें कैसे पता चला , पटरी टूटी हुई हैं ?

उसने कहा:- श्रीमान लोग ट्रेन में अपने-अपने कार्यो मे व्यस्त थे।उस वक्त मेरा ध्यान ट्रेन की गति पर केंद्रित था। ट्रेन स्वाभाविक गति से चल रही थी। किन्तु अचानक पटरी की कम्पन से उसकी गति में परिवर्तन महसूस हुआ।ऐसा तब होता हैं, जब कुछ दूरी पर पटरी टूटी हुई हो।अतः मैंने बिना क्षण गंवाए, ट्रेन रोकने हेतु जंजीर खींच दी।

गार्ड औऱ वहाँ खड़े अंग्रेज दंग रह गये. गार्ड ने पूछा, इतना बारीक तकनीकी ज्ञान ! आप कोई साधारण व्यक्ति नही लगते।अपना परिचय दीजिये।

शख्स ने बड़ी शालीनता से जवाब दिया:- श्रीमान मैं भारतीय इंजीनियर मोक्षगुंडम विश्वेश्वरैया हूं.!

जी हाँ ! वह असाधारण शख्स कोई और नही “डॉ विश्वेश्वरैया” थे

The Best Christina Rossetti Poems Everyone Should Read

The greatest poems by Christina Rossetti selected by Dr Oliver Tearle

Christina Rossetti (1830-94) is primarily known for a handful of classic poems, but she wrote more than a handful of great ones. Below we’ve selected ten of Rossetti’s finest poems and written a short paragraph introducing each of them.

2 seconds of 1 minute, 25 secondsVolume 0%

1. ‘Remember’.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray …

So begins this sonnet, written when Christina Rossetti was still a teenager. She requests that the addressee of the poem remember her after she has died. What gives the poem a twist is the concluding thought that it would be better for her loved one to forget her and be happy than to remember her if it makes her lover sad. It is this second part of the poem’s ‘argument’ that saves it from spilling over into mawkish sentimentality, and makes this one of Rossetti’s finest poems about love.

2. ‘When I am dead, my dearest’.

When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget …

This poem might be considered the ‘song’ counterpart to the sonnet above: it contains essentially the same sentiment (similarly lacking sentimentality) as ‘Remember’. It remains a popular Rossetti poem, and stands up as an impressive poem in its own right.

‘Song’ (or ‘When I am dead, my dearest’, if you prefer) was written in 1848 when Christina Rossetti was still a teenager, but not published until 1862 when it appeared in her first volume of poetry, Goblin Market and Other Poems. The poem is a variation on the theme of John Donne’s ‘A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning’, and provides a neat complement to another of Christina Rossetti’s early poems, the sonnet ‘Remember’, which she wrote a year after ‘When I am dead, my dearest’.

3. ‘In an Artist’s Studio’.

One face looks out from all his canvases,
One selfsame figure sits or walks or leans:
We found her hidden just behind those screens,
That mirror gave back all her loveliness.
A queen in opal or in ruby dress,
A nameless girl in freshest summer-greens,
A saint, an angel — every canvas means
The same one meaning, neither more or less …

Probably inspired by her brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who was a talented painter as well as a poet, ‘In an Artist’s Studio’ is about the male artist’s desire to objectify and reinvent the female subject in his art.

Is the sonnet lamenting this reluctance to see the woman as she really is, or celebrating the artist’s ability to invent the woman as an ideal ‘dream’? Readers remain divided. Follow the link above to read the full poem (and our detailed analysis).

4. ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ …

Rossetti wrote the words to the Christmas carol ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’. It was written some time prior to 1872 when Scribner’s Monthly magazine requested a Christmas-themed poem. But amazingly, it was only published in 1904, ten years after Rossetti’s death. Shortly after this, in 1906, it became a musical piece, one of the most popular Christmas carols. The first musical accompaniment for Rossetti’s poem was the work of none other than Gustav Holst, the British composer most famous for the Planets suite.

5. ‘Shut Out’.

The door was shut. I looked between
Its iron bars; and saw it lie,
My garden, mine, beneath the sky,
Pied with all flowers bedewed and green:

From bough to bough the song-birds crossed,
From flower to flower the moths and bees;
With all its nests and stately trees
It had been mine, and it was lost …

So begins a poem about a paradise that has been lost. Rossetti’s speaker peers between the iron bars of a garden gate and sees a garden full of flowers, and laments that this garden had once belonged to her – but not any more. A spirit without a shadow guards the gate, barring her from entering. This poem verges on allegory, though its precise meaning remains elusive. We think it might best be viewed as a poem about wanting what we cannot have: as Marcel Proust observed, the true paradises are those we have lost. (Or as one anonymous sage once put it, ‘Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be’.)

6. ‘Good Friday’.

Am I a stone, and not a sheep,
That I can stand, O Christ, beneath Thy cross,
To number drop by drop Thy blood’s slow loss,
And yet not weep?

Not so those women loved
Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee;
Not so fallen Peter, weeping bitterly;
Not so the thief was moved …

This poem was published in Christina Rossetti’s 1866 collection The Prince’s Progress and Other Poems. The poem is about Rossetti’s struggle to feel close to Christ and the teachings of Christianity, and to weep for the sacrifice he made.

7. ‘A Birthday’.

My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a water’d shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me …

Love poetry is obviously common enough in English literature, but there are actually few truly great poems about being in love (and being happy). ‘A Birthday’ is a fine example of a successful poem which celebrates being in love using colourful and majestic imagery.

8. ‘Twice’.

I took my heart in my hand
(O my love, O my love),
I said: Let me fall or stand,
Let me live or die,
But this once hear me speak—
(O my love, O my love)—
Yet a woman’s words are weak;
You should speak, not I …

This is not one of Christina Rossetti’s most famous poems, but it deserves to be better known. Its songlike quality shows up its kinship with many of Rossetti’s more celebrated poems, and its emotional power is as great as ‘A Birthday’ or ‘Remember’.

9. ‘Winter: My Secret’.

I tell my secret? No indeed, not I:
Perhaps some day, who knows?
But not today; it froze, and blows, and snows,
And you’re too curious: fie!
You want to hear it? well:
Only, my secret’s mine, and I won’t tell …

Rossetti originally gave ‘Winter: My Secret’ the rather less appealing title ‘Nonsense’. She renamed it with its more exciting title when it was published in Goblin Market and Other Poems in 1862. The new title immediately piques our interest. ‘Winter: My Secret’. But what secret? Our analysis of the poem, included in the link above, attempts to get to the bottom of the poem’s caginess.

10. Goblin Market.

Morning and evening
Maids heard the goblins cry:
‘Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buy:
Apples and quinces,
Lemons and oranges,
Plump unpeck’d cherries,
Melons and raspberries,
Bloom-down-cheek’d peaches,
Swart-headed mulberries,
Wild free-born cranberries,
Crab-apples, dewberries,
Pine-apples, blackberries,
Apricots, strawberries;—
All ripe together
In summer weather,—
Morns that pass by,
Fair eves that fly;
Come buy, come buy …’
