The All India

University

founded

in Bengal

by wise Tagore,

who built

a literary town here

to be adored.

The Prime Minister

and official Chancellor

Indira Gandhi

arrives, wants

to meet

the best students.

Among others,

the Russian

is summoned in response.

She looks nervous,

but tries to smile,

listens

to his impressions,

told without wile,

interrupts:

“Professors say —

not for science

is your pen.

Better

become a poet.”

I didn’t follow then.
