Here is the summary it will help you

Explanation:

From the beginning to the end the poet clearly brought the theme of nostalgia. He misses the entire happiness of his childhood. He 'toddles' around the house and remembers the same walk, when played with his fellow- beings. Now the house is empty without any furniture. The shivering voice of his grandmother came from a bare branch, where no birds to sing. Emptiness – The entire house is empty and silent. No living things are present and the house is about to decay. The poet stands alone in front of the grey, colorless house. He toddled around the house but only saw his grandmother's grindstone and brass figurines.OLD VERSES MODERN LIFE

• the poem brought the theme of rural house-hold activities of the olden days. The grindstone shows that they worked hard and loved to make various dishes and snacks for their children and grand children. That's why the grinding stone is common image in the house. But the modern life style had outdated the grindstone so it left there in the deserted house. Spiritual or religious - The brass figurines shows that they worshiped regularly to please their deities. So the deities were kept in their house very preciously. The brass metal gives the idea that they don't want to disfigure it. They are indispensable to spirituality but modern generation is less spiritual. That is why nobody took the brass figurines to their new venue. The passage of time - The poet looks at time as the one who took away all his childhood memories. Even time had taken away the summer and spring with him leaving the elderly infant to toddle around the house to find the lost ages.
