At Rato Dratsang we build a new pavilion with a throne for His Holiness the Dalai Lama
and my fan is fixed... it is hot at Rato
Then back to Delhi where it's even hotter
So hot the tea walla has little work
And the photographer and his assistant have even less
And the florist covers his flowers
And the dogs enjoy their siesta
Though the milkman keeps on rolling
Then, up to Dharamsala
Where Rinpoche is well looked after by his nun doctor
He keeps track of world tragedies
To then pray for us all
I return to Delhi to see Professor Chander who advises us on water conservation
and enjoy the jolly mood of Bhogal market
Everyone is jolly!
Though some are hot and tired
Too hot to do their ironing
while the egg seller precooks his eggs
And I hang out with the gang
