WINDOW-SIDE   LIFE
=================
On  the  last  lap  of  my  life  
with   window -side  living
in  Indian  Suburban  style .

On  my right  the  Grand Trunk  Road
Millennium  and  plus-years  old
now    more  crowded  by  burdened  life
day  and night  long .

Busy  road
and  none  of  those Invaders'  horses
More  on  foot , some  on  rickshaws
cycled  by  laboring  man
or  the  Auto-  Rickshaws  with  passengers
overloaded.
Busy  life
Even  on this   lane -like  Grand Trunk  Road
Cars , Tracks   move ;  rush  with  rage
with  competitive  honks ,  challenging  difficult -time.

On my  left  --the  river   Ganges
older  than  civilization itself .
Flowing  high  or  low   by  celestial  rule .
Fishing  boats  ,small  rowing  and  struggling
 matching   given life  itself .
Dark  and  heavy  monsoon cloud
now  ruling  the  life  from  Sky, with  rain !

And  I , --the  resting  recluse
sitting   quiet  and   praying   for  better  time  for  all
Praying and  waiting  ; waiting and  witnessing
the  Play  of  this  Living  Struggling -World
of  Monsoon -time
From  my  present  River-bank  flat
in India .
