The Professor Comments

Interesting storyline to read.

Nice to read such a poem after many years. sort of story telling and very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.

Good poem

Wow this poem is like a short story and tells us about a conversation of a teacher and student

The reading with a native accent has slaughtered the poem. It has to be read with an Indian accent and intonation to convey the message and the spirit of the poem.

The talks between the ex-student and the retired professor of Geography continues it in a healthy spirit where the latter is a spokesman while the former a mere listener of his. But the professor's English which he is using is broken English, somehow carried on to show his professorship and professorliness and the status which he held it once. Even the erroneous sentences have been used in to carry forward the talks. Most of the sentences are of the present continuous tense.
