My name is Bijay Kant Dubey,
The son of Udai Kant Dubey and Shanti Devi,
Was born on 11 October,1965
At Lohardih village under post Sarwan,
B.Deoghar sub-division
Of the then time S.P., Dumka district
Under Bihar state.
But lived I not at the village,
My father who had been posted there
Brought us to Dumka
And there grew I up
together with them,
In the affectionate company of theirs,
Basically opting to stay and read at home.
As a child I grew up
Under the affection and care of a widowed aunt
Who had been childless
And turned into a widow
Just at the age of being nine years old
But used to be with us
And sucked I the breast of hers so long.
In the place outside the rented house,
Brick-built and tiled,
We used to keep the buffaloes and cows
And in the cottage,
Straw-thatched and bamboo-pillared
I used to study
And the cattle in the half.
And they schooled me otherwise
Asking to be affectionate and sympathetic,
Kind and pitiful,
God-fearing and submissive,
Work-loving and careful,
Laborious and dutiful,
Loveful and helping.
My Father’s books, brother’s books,
Mother’s books
Used to be there
And I used to turn over
The pale pages of the books
And used to draw from
To be schooled.
I did my M.A. in English in 1988
And my Ph.D. on D.H.Lawrence: His Personality & Works in 1994
And during that period also my M.A.
In History and Political Science
And later when I get could not
See any prospect for appointment,
Even as a part-timer
I came to Chandrakona Town, Midnapore, West Bengal
In 1996,
Some 300 kms. away from my place
To eke a living
And to survive and sustain,
I got money and employment,
But not love.
Under their may and moha,
I even forgot it,
There is something as death
Which will come to someday finally
And viewed I life otherwise
When the tragedy befell upon,
Struck me all of a sudden.
Now work I as the head of the department of English
Of Chandrakona Vidysagar Mahavidyalaya
As well as am at present the co-ordinator
Of the Netaji Subhas Open Univ. Calcutta study centre
Of our college
And what more to say to?
