An Exploration of Unquenchable Physical or Emotional Voyage in K. R. Meera’s The Poison of Love

Abstract

An unquenchable mental voyage in love is an everlasting journey of discovery and growth of an individual feeling, fuelled by a profound and insatiable curiosity about the partner and the partnership. It reflects a deep commitment to continuously nurturing and enriching one’s connection with an enduring patience and relentless quest of feeling and understanding which deepens one’s connection with one’s partner. This journey involves continuous intellectual and emotional engagement, in the exploration of understanding and intimacy within one’s relationship. Supporting each other’s personal and intellectual development, encouraging new interests, and facing challenges together is the definition of conjugal life but if they are not dealing with the conceptual background of the relationship, there creates serious problem in their lives. Maintaining a sense of wonder and fascination with each other, never taking the relationship for their granted willingness, and always seeking to know more about, can have the sense of unquenchable love. The present paper explores Meera’s very pathetic incidental novella, The Poison of Love in the common consciousness of unquenchable love.
