SEEN AS POOR BUT RICH IN HEARTS !

NATIVE TO BENGAL BUT NOT TO LIFE

“It’s our work and not our passion,

It’s our duty and not our desire.”

These words dropped from their heart and not from the mouth,

British first placed their step here

But development still hesitates to do so

Without a protection on their head

Bare feet running on the rough roads

When each drop of hard work falls on the ground

While enjoying the ride do we care of these things?

 When our minds are diverted by the ice-cream stalls nearby

Those typical rickshaw pullers in Bengal;

Think of earning some more money to pay the fees of their young ones

When our dress gets dirty, we check our schedule for laundry

But when splashes hit them;

They believe that time will erase those

Though their houses do not have beautiful idols of gods;

But there are much closer to gods;

Because of the heavenly work they do!

Therefore I say,” SEEN AS POOR BUT RICH IN HEARTS”
