Analysis
The poet has tried to show the difference in the views of people belonging to the old generation (her mother) and those belonging to the new generation (poet’s). The old people have emotions, memories, beliefs, etc attached to the ecology.
For the poet, the Red Champak Trees have no use. Their pollens pollute the air and thus the city. They cannot be prevented from entering the houses and the human body.
The pollens are the cause of severe pain that his mother is suffering. As the poet has no emotions attached to the ecology or the trees, he decides to cut them.
On the other hand, his mother’s perspective is on contrary to his views. For her, the tree is not just a tree but a good omen for her and her house. It is the flowers of the Red Champak Trees which she and other people offer to the Gods and to their daughters.
This is what makes her consider her suffering a small sacrifice which she is giving to the tree.
