Answer 1

Answer:

Father Returning Home by Dilip Chitre is probably the most famous poem by this Indian poet. It is an autobiographical poem where the poet shows the loneliness and world-weariness of an old man in the modern society by depicting a picture of his own father returning home from work.

The poem is a true account of the poet’s father Purushottam Chitre’s life in 1957 when they moved from Baroda to Mumbai. The poem is expressive of the poet’s feeling for his father at a later stage. He realized how neglected and uncared-for his father was, even after being the lone bread-earner for the family.
