! I AM THE PULLER !

Who am I?

My mind constantly is surrounded by the stigmas

and on the road-side,

I am bound to follow the norms..

Those norms which are the social dogmas.

I am the puller-

the Rickshaw puller!



Comes the winter

and I get shattered.

I manage to collect the blanket somehow

but its not easy to wear it anyhow.

Driving the rickshaw keeps me away from being cosy,

and instatntly I ask,

I ask to myself

Who am I?

Yes, I am the puller-

the Rickshaw puller!



The sprinkling water droplets drench me completely,

giving me the liberty to enjoy the Spring!

I care not of my clothes and whereabouts

as I don't possess them unlike my doubts!

Sometimes it rains heavily,

For me it is the reason to earn bread,on contrary!

I wonder if I am really different from others!

and instatntly I ask,

I ask to myself,

Who am I?

yes, I am the puller-the Rickshaw puller!



It is the time for summers

to test my patience and see me shuddered.

I sweat and perspire to earn my living

and people cover their noses

to avoid the smell of sweating.

I am not like you

who wears deodrants and perfumes.

I am the simple "me" who is hand to mouth,

I still wonder

Who am I?

The puller-the Rickshaw puller!



The society teach us to respect the elders,

to respect his age and worries to shoulder!

I carry people irrespective of their age

and shoulder their weights.

Does anyone cares what is my age?

I am also the elder just like anyone else

and is forced to wonder

Who am I?

I am the puller-the Rickshaw puller!



People bargain the cost of their journey

and take the advantage of being rich and eating honey!

I struggle hard for two chappatis

and wonder...wonder about who am I?

I thank the Almighty for the day I experienced

and wish the other day to be better

much better than yesterday and today.

I wish...

I wish to be like others
who never cares to thank me for the services.
I expect not to be a millionare
but desire to be admired.
Why did i wonder? Why did i question?
when i know nothing could be changed?
but still i sleep with satisfaction
and no worries give me distraction!
I am the way I am
I am the puller-the rickshaw puller!
I am the puller-the richshaw puller!!
