Though persona feels it is not right to yearn for his music from the flute, the tune is deeply attached to her affectionately.The persona finds that the village had been abandoned by the villagers and the paddy fields un attended. She recalls that, admiring the rain, staring at the sunray during the dusk, collecting dew drops and enjoying the pleasant smell of flowers and nature had become a luxury or an advantage that you do not find anymore.FIGURATIVE MEANINGthe persona feels uncomfortable that she keeps thinking of trivial matters like customs and traditions when at present, there are problems such as unemployment, disharmony and merciless killings.
