India has two aspects --
in one she is the householder, in the other a wandering ascetic.
The former refuses to budge from the cosy nook,
the latter has no home at all.
I find both of these within me.
I want to roam about and see all the wide world,
yet I also yearn for a little sheltered nook,
like a bird with its tiny nest for dwelling
and the vast sky for flight.
