In the hustle and bustle of south Kolkata’s busy Gariahat locality, a hawker in his mid-50s finds peace in poetry. But as long as books and poetry are on my side, I think I can carry on,” said 54-year-old Mohan Das. ADVERTISEMENTFor over 40 years, Das has been selling books from a pavement stall at the busy junction of Golpark and Gariahat market. “I never told anyone that I write poems. Recently, due to social media, people are learning this hobby of mine.”After years of writing poetry, Das has found interest in penning songs now.
