Waiting
by Gourav Biswas
Hi, I'm Gourav Biswas, an undergraduate in Microbiology, currently preparing for MSc. I'm from Kolkata, trying to frame the essence of the streets and telling the story.
So, it was a Saturday, the sun was setting, the day was ending. This street is one of the busiest in this area.
I was roaming around the lanes, was finding stories. Suddenly spotted this scene, under the bridge. This man was eagerly waiting for his shoes to be stitched. The cobbler, was doing his work patiently, listening to music. And the last lights was peeping through the buildings.
This was the actual story behind these shots. And this what my version of the story from these frames :
// WAITING //
Waiting for a better day,
A better sunrise,
A better meal,
A better output.
This day was bad,
But the mistakes are noted,
The drawbacks are corrected,
Waiting for a better start.
The waiting is constant,
Doing mistakes are part,
Giving the fight is important,
Having patience is the necessity.
