How Pleasant It Is To Know Bijay Kant Duba! Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

How Pleasant It Is To Know Bijay Kant Duba!



How pleasant is it to know
Bijay Kant Duba,
A pseudo English man,
Speaking Hindustani English
Mixing water in milk not,
But milk in water
Like an Indian gwala,
An Indian milkman,
Who could never be an English man
Speaking English like
In an English accent,
But a lungi man
Turned he out to be
A dhoti man of India
Speaking English
Like an Indian language
Like a Hindi speaker!

How pleasant is it to know Duba
Who wanted to be
The AlexanderPope, John Drdyen of India
But could not be,
Could not be
The Pope of India,
But could not be
The Dryden of India!
