The poem “Uska Santan” (His/Her Children) centers on a father’s profound emotional bond and sacrifices for his children amid life’s hardships. It evokes nostalgia and deep sorrow through memories of family joys—like black-and-white photos, birthday celebrations, shoe-polishing rituals, and gatherings—contrasted with survival struggles. Key messages highlight parental love, the fleeting nature of happiness, and trading dreams for necessities (symbolized by modern elements like OLX sales). Emotions blend heartbreak, pride, and loss, using metaphors of tight grip, sunlight, and colorful yet vulnerable homes to show enduring family affection despite pain.
