The Railway Vendor

Howrah-Ahmedabad SF Express


I work for Variety Pantry Pvt. Ltd,

My income is less than railway pantry workers.

I earn two-thirds from my daily wages,

One-third goes to the firm as commission.


I visit my family once during Holi,

I don't get paid leaves.

I have no job security like others,

Also, I am paid less than them.


I sleep at 12:00 pm for 4 hours to 5 hours,

And then again I begin my work.

I eat with railway workers,

p>

I do what they do.


But they earn more,

I work harder than them.

Even though I get headaches,

I eat tobacco to keep my body warm.


I used to live in Kelaras,

I did farming for my whole life.

We grew wheat, daal, bajra, etc

But now my brother looks after the farm.


I came with my friends to this train,

I had to support my family.

I had no options left,

I couldn't sit jobless all my life.


Now this is my home

And workers my family.
