Profusion of plants in terracotta pots
India is hope and growth
India is expressive art
Daubed with chalk symbols of welcome
Filled with love, with family
Carrying cultures across a continent
Filled with the wisdom of generations.
A surging tide of dreams
An abiding thirst for learning
India is the resting of the soul in stillness
Bare concrete homes, whitewashed rooms, creaking shutters peeling paint,
India is man reduced to his simplest needs and desires
Myriad demands confined in proximity
The wafting of incense in the rythmic circle of prayer
India is doleful nature
