Abstract

The present article explores S. Manjunath’s “sale” focusing on the tension between the nostalgic past and the fragmented present with shards of memory that serve as a conduit to the narrator’s self. The poem represents a relative reality of the modern educational landscape, where the once-harmonious triad of school, teacher and parent had drifted towards disintegration.
