Post Doctoral Poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

I got a chance to pursue research after PhD
but he did not.
I requested, 'Come with me, we will manage'.
He left, I cried lot.

I am established now, in abroad.
He is enjoying with wife and son.
I remain unmarried
as I can't wipe out the bygone.

Love misunderstood me
but I never cheated my career.
I can stay alone-
my students are my dear.

Ego can kill everything,
even can burn a person from inside.
The outer nature is so beautiful,
still the gap in soul is far and wide.
