Hello everyone today I will be intorducing about my food poem we did in our class. I chose the poem Names of Hunger written by Mrgigaa Sethi. This poem captured the narrator's inner dialogue as they walk from a therapist's office back to work. The narrator comforts themselves with endearing terms and reassurances, acknowledging the impending challenges at work.
The poem takes a reflective turn as the narrator recalls their mother's love, expressed through various endearing names. The realization that love is complex and sometimes painful strikes the narrator like lightning. The mention of a meal, aloo parathas, served after a moment of confinement, symbolizes maternal care and understanding. The poem encapsulates the emotional complexity of love, both nurturing and occasionally hurtful, and how these experiences linger in the narrator's heart as they return to the demands of work.
It was a good presentation!
