A boy of hardly sixteen from a Rural Town
Coming to a big city with big frown
Reaching Howrah Station bewildered
Thick thick people
Running Pushing total haphazard.
Shaky boy from a village
Afraid, has no courage,
Coming out of station
Vehicles found on motion
Roads crowded
Rural boy of sixteen excited.
Roads full of urine flowing down
Shameless people not hesitate
to open crown
Boy staring at him feels shy
Promise not to open like this in the
Open sky.
By the side of stinking smell
Vendors are with article
Selling apple banana cucumber
He does not like Dirty Pavement Bazar.
Limping on wet coat road
Jumps to Bus Foot Board
Travels to his destined place
With a very gloomy face.
Dirt dirt all along the path
Bus now crossing Howrah Haat
He never saw such frowzy city
He is now on bus journey.
Crimping crawling crowded road
Boy standing on Bus Foot Board,
He is very upset
Waits to see next
Reaching College First Gate
Boy excited.
Name displays in big letters
College name glitters
Rural boy standing before
Excited now much more.
So clean so green
Beautiful College Building
Walking through metalled road
Looking now at Notice Board.
Boy becomes panicky
He is at First Lobby
Lots of examinee
All now appears to be his enemy.
Viva Voce started
Boy waited
He now in a gloomy state
If fails in Viva Test
No chance to enter College Gate.
Returns to his native place
Dreaming for new landscape,
After waiting July to November
Received call in December,
With much vigour
He comes to college in chilled winter
Passing by the sprawling green
Plans to enjoy his early teen.
Hostel life full of vibe
December winter ice bite
In the morning seven o'clock
Reaching college piercing fog.
New life started
Rural boy further excited
Gaining courage
Starts his journey at Engineering College.
