The Lost Poetry
As I contemplated on the theme of “Mother Language” to write on the prompt of our Writers’ Support Group, the term itself fascinated me. Although a metaphor to define one’s native language or the language spoken at home; the fact that in literal sense the term explicitly recognises a mother’s role in one of the most important aspects of identity that a child inherits i.e. language– has cheered up the feminist in me! Consequently, this realisation led me to write about my mother’s mother’s mother- बाई आजी (bai aaji)!
