he was from
the state of
of Jharkand
in a humble
muted tone
he mentioned
poorer than
the poorest
always out of
funds no job
no hope he
came to Mumbai
to beg..by fate
to this city of
opportunities
he was cosmically
summoned .
a door god had
opened and to
bandra he
hastened .
he wasnt
lucky no alms
he was disheartened
he was hoping to make
enough money to his home
return..sad sullen his beard
all whitened .he told me
man is an isolated island
mumbai was not at all
the city of joy that he
had envisioned ,,,
