Vocation Summary
In our daily life when we go to school or market or any places, we notice many people busy at their work. In this poem the poet says about his childhood, his school days. Every morning when he walks towards his school, he hears the gong ringing at ten. Every day he meets a bangle – seller. The man goes about at ease all day long. So the boy wishes that he could be a hawker.
In afternoon when the child comes back from the school, he sees a gardener working and digging the ground and he soils his clothes and gets wet in the rain. But nobody scolds or punishes him. The child also wishes he were a gardener and free to do what he liked. When dusk falls his mother sends him to bed and he sees the watchman through the window and he wishes he could be a watchman.
