Constructing the Unconscious : The Reality of Childhood dreams in Lila Majumdar’s Holde Pakhir Palok
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Dreams have a quintessential association with childhood and bulk of children’s literature seems to correlate this in an intrinsic manner with imagination. The images and aspirations associated with early years of life have been synonymous with thoughts which take shelter in our dreams. The inherent associations of childhood reading and encounters with Mermaid, Fairies and Ghosts to Hogwarts Castles repetitively tell us that successful characters and ideas created for the young minds impinge on the scope of dreams or ‘dream- scope’. It depends on the landscape of the story and the author’s design entirely as to how the journey between reality and fantasy appear to seem as one common narrative. In her novel Holde Pakhir Palok Lila Majumdar weaves a tale of distant lands and after life stories built in the reality of childhood belief that takes a new leap in the realm of poetic justice. Here an ordinary tale of two siblings Rumu and Bogi living in a humble village turn extra ordinary when they live the intangible experiences in chronicles and happenings around them. The coincidental narratives in the novel are catapulted to the sphere of disbelief wherein the search extends to a devout domain.
