Synopsis
HEIR CONDITIONING
POETRY
This poem is written in London, May 4, 1995. It talks about issues regarding different
lifestyles and alues of two generations. It also talks about the generation gap that e!ists
between grandparents and their grand"hildren. This poem is like a dialogue between them.
In the first stan#a, the grand"hild asks his grandfather if he "ould breathe without air
"onditioner and how people manage to surie without modern dei"es su"h as air
"onditioners, fans, fa!es and telephones. The "hild asks his grandmother if she was
un"omfortable fanning herself with paper fans. $e in%uisitiely %uestions how they "ould
"ommuni"ate without today&s modern media of "ommuni"ation whi"h he "annot do without.
In the se"ond stan#a, the grandparents& answer sets the two generations apart.
Though they lied oid of the 'basi" ne"essities&, they lied "ontentedly and respe"ted
nature. (lso, they were )od*fearing people. The grandparents warn the younger generations
that they hae inherited mu"h te"hnologi"al adan"ement and it has led to a separation from
his spiritual well*being. )od has been repla"ed by money and nature has begun to fear man.
+atural surroundings are being taken oer by rapid deelopment and that has led to
pollution, deforestation and destru"tion of natural habitats that now threatens man.

Tone
This poem has a rather serious and sar"asti" tone. This is be"ause the use of all these
te"hnologi"al applian"es that are supposed to make our lies more "omfortable is a"tually
destroying the world we lie in.
The tone of the grand"hild >line 1*9? poses %uestion. The tone is pu##le. The
grand"hild saw nothing good of those times. The tone here is ;ignorant, and looking
down8. @latant with a series of stupid %uestions. The tone is anti"ipation of triial
answers.
The tone of the )randparents >line 19*1:? refle"t a ;more e!perien"ed8 that the
grand"hild did not hae the priilege and "ontrarily should not look down towards.
The tone argues that despite the grand"hild&s ;ba"kwards8 iew towards them,
wonderful e!perien"e is eident at the time. The tone here also suggests wisdom, as
a sharp "ontrast to the ignoran"e.
The tone here suggests their per"eption of wrongful ideas followed by youngsters
today.
Irony
(n e!pression of meaning often humorous or sar"asti", by the use of language of a different
or opposite tenden"y
E&ample'
In this poem, the poet highlights the "omforts of moderni#ation >telephones, air*
"onditioner and modern transportation?, and the "onse%uen"es >stress,
"onse%uen"es of traffi" 5ams and pollution? they hae brought unto us.
