Q. How does the story, Alam’s Own House by Dibyendu Palit deal with the uncertain
composition of Alam’s nostalgia? H.S English Suggestion, 2022
Answer: Going through a few short stories about the partition of Bengal, nostalgia finds its way
in a prolonged vista. Later, nostalgia achieves complex overtones in stories like Amar Mitra's
"Wild Duck Country", Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay's "Acharya Kripalani Colony" and
Divyendu Palit's "Alam's Own Home" which lead to understanding new concepts in nostalgia.
Involved in identity crises, emergence problems, and rehabilitation problems, nostalgia finds a
tribal treatment in these stories. In Divyendu Palit's "Alam's Own House" the protagonist cannot
replace his rootless cosmopolitanism, his isolated consciousness in his previous home. Like
everything there, there is a deadline to return. And once the word is over, there is a feeling that it
will not happen. "
Alam's father left his family Anantashekhar's house and moved to Dhaka after a personal
exchange of property during the partition. Alam returned with Anantashekhar's family to finish his
studies and at that time became especially attached to his daughter Rakar. Although Alam
eventually moved to Dhaka after his father's death, he regularly exchanged letters with Rakar.
Raka gradually became the root of his desire for home, the nest of his nostalgia. Alam felt that "if
his physique could be analyzed, instead of his body, arms, legs and head, he could see the door
windows, stairs and attics!"
To the romantic Alam, he traveled to Calcutta three years after leaving Dhaka to attend a
conference on friendship between divided nations, so it seemed incomplete without meeting his
birthplace and Rak. The journey back home is filled with memories and nostalgia. The absence of
Park Circus in Calcutta, Maniktala, Narkeldanga, the familiar area of the woodpecker (plumria)
tree at the gate of Alam's old house, Gandhiji's portrait in the old living room and the oil painting
of the Battle of Plassey have all been manifested by the absence. Endure the impressions of
Alam’s nostalgia, only the spiritual foundation of his home has traveled.
As soon as Alam enters his old house and realizes the absence of the rack, he realizes that his
house has become an alternative place where he lives in the bedroom of an impersonal guest. Popular Posts

At the end of the story, Alam realizes that despite having a shared culture and memories of a Bandhyapadhya
