Answer the following questions in a paragraph of 100-150 words.
Q. 1. The poem is a satire on modern life. It mocks and ridicules some of the
common behavioural patterns of modern man.(Mar. 2011, Jammu, Kashmir Nov. 2011,
Mar. 2012, Jammu Summer Zone, W.Z. Jammu Nov. 2013) (Jammu Summer Zone 2014,
Kashmir 2016)
Ans. The poem is a satire on modern life. The poet criticises the hypocrisy of the
modern man. He is insincere, shallow and artificial. The poet regards the past as a period
of honesty and sincerity. As against this, he sees the present as a period of hollowness,

man. People in the past were pure and simple at their heart. Their eyes and their faces
reflected their heart. But the modern man has become very hypocritical. He can laugh
without being happy. He can shake hands with you while he is picking your pocket with
the left hand. He says 'goodbye' when he means 'good-riddance'. He says 'feel at home'
and come again' while his heart wants to shut the doors on you. Thus the poet satirises
the hypocrisy and shallowness of the modern man. There are no feelings of

Explanation:
