Abstract

The paper throws light on an unusual yet dramatic description of the lost, confused and mangled childhood of a child in its home and in the world manifested by Prasoon Joshi in his lyrics and poems. Prasoon Joshi is one of the most prominent poet lyricists of modern times. His imagery, symbols and choice of language is incomparable and come close only to that of Gulzar; another top poet lyricist. Though he writes in Hindi, but his expressions of emotions cross the barriers of language and touch the hearts of the audience. Prasoon Joshi is among those rare poet lyricists, who understands and expresses the emotions in his writings in the most poignant manner. His choices of words are rare in this genre and it is this subtlety that separates him from the others. The paper brings forth the analysis of his select songs and poems recounting the agony, unreciprocated questions of a child, the kind of world the elders have conjured up for their children, their apathy, and almost a nonchalant attitude towards child-psychology. This paper is going to be based on translation work. The lyrics that appear in the paper are originally written in Hindi and have been translated into English by Prasoon Joshi himself and the Hindi poems have been translated by the author.
