[hometext] => A poem of unrequited love not understood in modern times by Tarun Kanti Rout
[bodytext] => They were clustered at the gate talking effusively about Priya’s birth who smiled at them being a goner. They waited for her monosyllabic answer when the river was in spate and the sky was turning faintly opalescent. She loved a man who had once ploughed in the river Mahanadi in the hope of a harvest that would be self-referential. She failed in the first attempt and then jumped from a roadster – only a radio set owned by a complete pillock could cushion her. A new scene was unfolding at Balasore where Priya was born much before slatternly women full of shame died in their jaunts. Priya loved and shunned till all jaw-dropping stuff soared away in the wind And came down to the earth in a mournful sound-balloon showing a puny mind.
