Dada Ka Ghar

Abstract

“Dada ka Ghar” is an intimate, nostalgic poem that celebrates the grandmother as a living embodiment of home, memory, and protection. Speaking in the first person, the narrator compares her to a vast banyan tree whose silent strength shelters generations, including the late Dada. The domestic details—his bed, her quiet dreams, and the ever-welcoming cup of tea—evoke a house steeped in love and remembered presence. Blending loss and warmth, the poem portrays how, even after Dada’s absence, the grandmother’s unwavering care and rootedness keep the emotional world of “dada ka ghar” alive for all its children.
