I hear
INDIA singing! words BINDIYA FARSWANI
I hear India singing varied melodies,
64 COLOUR/CULTURE/CHAOS
The rickshaw-wala, singing his hymns as he sounds his horn and weaves his path through the traffic, The dibba-wala, humming while walking and holding various tiffin boxes that are filled with finger-licking Indian food, The chaat-wala singing his own tune while making yummy pungent Indian chaat, The lyrical singing of the Indian wife churning the Indian spices up on the terrace, The melodious lullabies from the mother putting her child to sleep beside her, as she collects money from the people that pass by on the streets, The priest singing his tune to please his lord, the peacocks dancing to the melody of the breeze and rain, and the cows rejoicing in the harmony of it all. I hear each one singing the songs of their lives. I hear India singing.
