GOODBYE PARTY FOR MISS PUSHPA T.S
EZEKEIL
SUMMARY
The speaker addresses to his friends and the
colleagues in a party to bid farewell. He reveals to them that their dear
sister (friend), Miss Pushpa is leaving the country and they all have assembled
to offer her farewell.
The speaker begins praising Miss Pushpa's
pleasantness which is both internal and external. She is lovely a result of her
charms as well as her honesty. She continues to smile more often. Writer is
revealing to us Miss Pushpa's acceptable and friendly nature. She generally
puts on a smiling face. Clearly Nissim Ezekiel is scorning the ongoing
utilization of the consistent tense even where it is ungrammatical and
improper, and furthermore the utilization of word, 'smiling' in the lines is
more similar to Indian usage.
The speaker proceeds with his location at the
Goodbye Party and tells the crowd that Miss Pushpa has a place with a reputed
family. Her dad was a renowned advocate in Bulsar and Surat however he doesn't
recall the correct place.
In following lines the fun is made of the
wayward mind of the speaker who fails to remember the event and starts
discussing his days in Surat with the group of his uncle's old friend. The
speaker is informed by somebody in crowd that the place was Surat and he
recalls and discusses his experience in Surat. The speaker's straying to Miss
Pushpa's dad, and hanging on it, the speaker's connection to Surat and
afterward to his/her uncle's exceptionally old friend and his wife, other
there—are run of the mill of the ill-equipped, spontaneous speech, normal for
some Indians who need legitimacy in such grave formal functions
After redirection from subject of his speech,
the speaker returns to Miss Pushpa. He says that she is popular with the both
men. It is clear in the lines that Nissim Ezekiel is mocking the interesting,
ungrammatical speech of Indians and their wistful, overstated method of
talking.
The speaker feels free to praise Miss Pushpa
good nature. She could never deny the work assigned to her. This shows that she
has a good spirit and her preparation to accomplish any work. She is a willing
worker. The unnecessary of 'just' and 'only' displays the speaker's ignorance
of the use of English words, creating fun and laughter.
The speaker says that she was consistently
prepared to help at whatever point asked by him or some other colleague. Today
the speaker and other colleague have assembled to wish her happy journey as she
is traveling to another country to work on her prospects. After this speech is
finished, the speaker requests that different speakers talk and says that Miss
Pushpa will sum up, after the colleagues’ speech.
