As an girl growing up in a middle class family in a rather conservative society I was always made to feed inadequate - later when i grew up and became "independent" i realised that this sense of inadequacy is still there no matter what we become and what we end up doing to support ourselves - may be this sense of inadequacy made me see the world from Eve's point of view. My family was forced out of their own land and people - i saw my grandparents living mentally in the land they had to live - “Apocalyptic Exodus” is a glimpse of such lives. Hope this makes sense :p Love and regards Sanghita Dear Sam and Maria

Considering your relevant explanation, I also feel happy for the idea of deep care and great responsibility by Tari's family. Thank you so much for your nice words. Dear Mrs Anjum Wasim Dar

I am very grateful for your quick feedback.
Considering your relevant explanation, I also
feel happy for the idea of deep care and great
responsibility by Tari’s family.
Thank you so much for your nice words.

To some extent you are right.'Tied' creates a binding image. Tari did not know who he was.He had no sense of home, going out or coming back.He would go missing every other day.The family was concerned about loss and cared deeply for him.Yes we do need proper controlled environment and provisions for such children.

From the beginning of the story we feel rather uncomfortable by the persistent image of a child being "tied to the armchair". "He was not a normal child," the narrator tells us. Precisely, we would expect a warmer, more comprehensive, affectionate account by the narrator on Tari's life days. We wouldn't like to think of some hints of "burden" noticed here and there: "We never went out in the evenings. Who will look after Tari?" We would rather think of family responsibility and love. Don't these children need be "untied" from a chair for their "self, their mind" to be helped differently? A very challenging topic, indeed, ready for generating much discussion.

He needs to emphasise the importance of "the other": " ... for with him or her we are made to live together." He looks very sensitive to differences, and he cautiously adverts to be avoided concepts like " clash of civilizations", "conflict of cultures", preferring "a fusion of theirs". The poem ends up justifying the poet's view of integration, we think.

We would like to highlight this paragraph:" They walked silently, close together but without touching, hearing the rushing wind in their ears, releasing salt tears that coursed the continents of their faces, eyes cast down and ahead." These are very poetic images, in our view. And what a joyful, friendly "Happy Birthday"! - a true bond for them in their life.
