Question

but I cannot breathe this stale air with yesterday's cooking smells​

Answer 1

Answer:

The lines are extracted from the poem What kind of place you’ve brought me to, son? by Uma Parameshwaran

Explanation:

The poem narrates the tale of a city man's parent who is having trouble adjusting to the ways of the city and city people. The extracted lines show the parent being suffocated in a house whose doors and windows are always shut, thus the air is stale, and even the smell of what had been cooked yesterday can be smelled at the moment.

The poem ends with an urge by the narrator to open the windows.
