My poem The Rickshaw Ride was much liked by a lot of people. Rushnaf bhai from Blunderware thinks that it's one of my best poems, and it was published in NSU English Club's annual publication, English Matters, earlier this year.

THE RICKSHAW RIDE
As buildings and tea stalls
and compiled garbage
passed by us, and led to other

or compiled garbage.
But fortunately for us,
we know better.
