Answer:
father returning home is written by Dilip chitre
my father travels on the late evening train standing among silent commuters in the yellow light
Suburbs slide past his and unseeing Eyes
his shirt and pants are soggy and his black raincoat
stained with mud and his bag stuffed with books
is falling apart his eyes dimmed by age
fade home word through the humid monsoon night
Now I can see him getting off the train
like a word dropped from a long sentence
he had is across the length of the grey platform
crosses the railway line enters the lane
his chappals are sticky with mud but he hurries onward
home again I see him drink weak tea
eating a stale chapati reading a book
he goes into the toilet to contemplate
mance estrangement from a man-made world
coming out he trembles at the sink
the cold water running over his brown hands
a few droplets playing to the grayng hairs on his wrists
His sullen children have often refused to share jokes
and secrets with him he will now go to sleep
listening to the static on the radio dreaming
of his ancestors and grandchildren thinking of nomads entering a subcontinent through a narrow pass
