Getting addicted, and trying to quit it are both equally bothersome.
Addiction has harmed men in a thousand unknown ways.
Gentlemen, kindly don’t indulge in such acts.
Please stay away.
Listen ladies and gentleman,
Listen to what I say…
Alcohol, weed, gambling…these are going on incessantly.
They are not even thinking what might happen to them in the future.
There was a zamindar from Raipur.
He lost all his wealth because of addiction, and became a nomad.

Two of them went to Ram’s house to get intoxicated.
After getting drunk, they came back.
There was a zamindar from Raipur.
He lost all his wealth because of addiction, and became a nomad.
Not content with just alcohol, the zamindar started indulging in heroin.

Before consuming these, a person remains sane and sober.
After consumption, he initially feels exhilarated.
Two friends are taking drugs, sitting beside a bungalow.
Intoxicated, they say that they’ll move the bungalow with bare hands.
So, they take off their shirts and throw it on the ground.
Inebriated, another friend walks into the scenario.
He sees the other two trying hard to push the bungalow.
So, he runs away with their clothes.
After that, one friend goes back home.
Hearing his wife’s nagging, he slaps her.
The slap was so hard that she lost her life.
Montu realizes his mistake and starts wailing.
These incidents have become so common.
How many more would lose their lives, I wonder.
They die because of their own failings.
No one else is to be blamed.

The patua is Yakub Chitrakar, Naya, Paschim Medinipur.
