The Men Who Keep Kolkata Moving

A poignant anecdote of that section of the society who silently play the role of social guide without any publicity. The guide the children reach their school safely, they guide the aged masses to deboard safely from the bus . They also extend their helping hand to the pregnant women by providing them seats in whatsoever situation. I offer my gratitude and gratefulness to the poet for unraveling the feeling of that section of the society whose contribution we mostly ignore.

Who among us didn't return home pretending to be a conductor? One hand stretched out, the other mimicking the rhythmic "Ticket, ticket" while making the unmistakable click-click sound of the ticket . We would take imaginary money and handover the tickets, call out the names that we recollected .

A beautiful and heartfelt tribute to Kolkata's unsung heroes. Your vivid imagery and emotional depth transform the everyday voice of a bus conductor.
