Muuji qoraalka
'Search for My Tongue' shows the importance of language in shaping our identity.
Initially, Bhatt fears she has lost her mother tongue, Gujarati, after immigrating to America.
Bhatt then finds her mother tongue again, writing the second stanza in Gujarati.
Bhatt ends the poem showing great pride in her ability to still speak her mother tongue.
Bhatt uses plant imagery in the poem to reflect the power of one's native language.
