The Water Test Poem by Pallab Chaudhury

They left a lot of water- sample
Levelled with source-name on the bottle.

At first, the Ganges- under test.
Due to intense pollution, the result says
About the presence of microbes.
So, it's not pure surely,though holy.
Then, I took the water showing 'the Rupnarayana, the Kanshabati
And the Subarnarakha', one by one.
While on test, my hand moved in a monotone
And I looked for a change.
But when I just hold the bottle with 'the Brhamaputra',
The world in front of me turned into turbid-
Oh! Where I am, leaving Assam and my small village!
But, soon Mr.Pabitra extended the sample with 'the Rukni'
I felt deep in my heart, as if, I've got everything on my hand.

It's because the river Rukni bears
The memory of my boyhood days-

Which is crystal clear and pure too.
