Mainak's Poem

The story of Mainak begins with his Bengali name. “It’s M-oii-nak” (with a shrug). Prof. Sadh showed us something we’ve never seen before or since – his funny side, “M-oii-nak as in A for Orange?” The rest of the story of Mainak will be told another day. Here’s Mainak’s poem:

I was living my life on a leash

So one day I decided to chew through the collar

And make the world my own

But the world’s a tough bitch

And lessons, it does teach

But I would rather be a dog without a bone

Than one on a leash
