Porter at Railway Station
Rale stationer kuli
Kemone tomare bhuli
Keu apni bolena tomake
Keno bhebe paina
Kancha paka dadi
Lal chera jama gay
Raligarir whistle shune
Shukno paye douray
Porter at the railway station
How can I forget you
No one calls you with respect
I fail to fathom why
Grey and black beard
Wearing red old shirt
When the train whistle blows
He runs with his rickety legs

familiar scenes like these at nearby Sealdah Station, yet never thought of them in this way :p
tragic indeed. no one says "apni" to them, even to the older ones. i've actually seen rich people and in turn, their kids, say "tui" to an old porter.
(on a side note, i think we should all go by "tumi", or something that is equivalent to the English "you". that way, we won't have these problems, n i won't feel uncomfortable while speaking to a stranger :p)
