Simerjeet Singh, through the soul-touching recitation, highlights the traveller’s point of view who stops by the woods on a snowy evening and muses about nature and society. The recitation will make you ponder the themes of exhaustion and optimism, fatigue and commitment, and conflict in the human mind between moments of solace, which causes distractions vs pending obligations and call of duty.

Through the rendition of this inspirational poetry, Simerjeet wants to give the message that you want to pursue many things in life. Still, under the pressure of responsibilities, push yourselves in a different direction. It would be best to proudly keep all your promises with a firm belief that life has a set plan for everyone. “Woods” act as a primary symbol in the poem and represents choices in the lives of human beings. You can choose woods that highlight freedom from all constraints of society, or you can remain duty-bound to your personal and professional lives and opt to return to the mundane obligations. Simerjeet emphasizes that you may lose in the long run if you become passive and withdraw from life. He wants you to remember that even after significant setbacks, life goes on. Woods also stand for distractions that you might face while pursuing your life goals. The poem gives the invaluable message that you must fulfill your duties and not waste time on distractions. As the narrator returns to his journey, in the same way, you should involve yourself in the thick of action even if there are distractions and setbacks. 

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost 

Whose woods these are I think I know.   
His house is in the village though;   
He will not see me stopping here   
To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

My little horse must think it queer   
To stop without a farmhouse near   
Between the woods and frozen lake   
The darkest evening of the year.   

He gives his harness bells a shake   
To ask if there is some mistake.   
The only other sound’s the sweep   
Of easy wind and downy flake.   

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   
But I have promises to keep,   
And miles to go before I sleep,   
And miles to go before I sleep.
