condition. Phatik listening to his mother's voice opened his eyes and uttered a
word “Mother the
holidays have come. ”
What tagore wants....
Tagore wants to say only one thing by this story, to this materialistic world and
the parents who
never understand the feelings and frustration of their lovable children. Children,
all they need is
a care and our soothing words that parents talk to them when they are stressed or
worried. They
gain tons of energy from one loving word of their parents.
