criticize the pome "from homecoming "
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
R. Parthasarathy is a famous Indian English poet. He hails from the southern parts of India. As the title, Exile from Homecoming, announces, R. Parthasarathy comes home after spending sometime abroad, but he is not able to fit himself in the current scenario culturally, linguistically, sociologically and psychologically. The poem builds on the idea of the poet feeling exile and isolated, in spite of familiar things that surround him.
The persona opens the poem by sharing his linguistic instability or inability. He accepts that his tongue is been tied by English and he is not fluent with Tamil, as he was abroad. He expects people to speak good Tamil, as been used in good old Tamil literature and scriptures. His expectations are in vain and his hopes vanish, when he hears people use Tamil that is articulated by the characters in celluloid world or cinema.
The persona moves on to brief his attempts to establish relation with his relatives. The family members gather at a Tiruchchenur for family function, which happens after 1959, when his grandfather died. They come in crowded buses loaded with dust of many years of memory. The relatives gather in groups and sit without much formality. They ear the packed food they have brought for lunch. He looks at Sundari, probably his relative, who had once climbed up and down a tamarind tree with the poet. She is married and has three daughters clinging to her like three planets. The poet cannot relate himself with his relatives and with the circumstances. He stays aloof and he claims expertise when it comes to farewell. He feels guilty of losing his familiar tradition. He regrets for throwing stones from a glass house built by his father. He has evaded from his father’s footprints and he hopes that his son will not follow him in the future.
