Vocation Poem Summary in Hindi

'वोकेशन ’रवींद्रनाथ टैगोर द्वारा लिखी गई एक अच्छी कविता है। इस कविता में एक छोटा लड़का अलग अलग काम करना चाहता है।

वह एक फेरीवाला, एक माली और एक चौकीदार से मिलता है।

फेरीवाला चूड़ियाँ बेच रहा था, माली पौधे लगा रहा था और चौकीदार सड़कों पर टहल रहा था।

जब बच्चा एक फेरीवाले को रोता हुआ देखता है, "चूड़ियाँ, क्रिस्टल की चूड़ियाँ!" उसे लगता है कि फेरीवाले का काम मजाकिया है और वह ऐसा कर सकता है। 

जब वह एक माली देखता है तो वह उस काम को करना चाहता है ताकि खुदाई करते समय धूल या गीला होने पर कोई उसे डांटे नहीं।

अपने कमरे के बाहर उसने एक चौकीदार को अपनी लालटेन झूलते हुए देखा, फिर उसने वह काम करने की इच्छा की ताकि कोई भी उसे समय पर बिस्तर पर जाने के लिए डांटे नहीं।
