Some Stories of My Life
P. K. Mandal

Only two days before my first big test
My grandfather took his eternal rest
I had to pass a shocking emotion
In my heavy heart with full of tension.

Then the first two days of my second one
Not so good, I think, again not so wan
But the next two days sudden dysentery
Made obstruction of my easy entry.

Before the part-I exam one mishap
Almost changed my recognizable shape
I thought I would never regain my pace
I would lapse forever in today's race.

Just when dreams were not dreaming in my eyes
Just when the heart was yielding to my cries
Just when life was falling apart from life,
The loveless touch of childhood came to life.

Time was moving fast into my fourth phase.
Pedagogic life and personal craze
I was cherishing with my passion
So I had to invite my destruction.

A new journey began with my helpmate
I had to consign myself to my fate
"We shall overcome" - inspired me a lot
And the lost courage returned on its spot.

After this I found my reality
A deep hole whose no visibility
A deep dark through which no way to step out
So my role would come to an end, no doubt.

In such a crisis, I got a relief,
Soon I regained the popular belief:
No sweat, no sweet - an absolute armor
As a result, I became a teacher.
