Truth pursued in the debating court
and in the classroom
we must know how to write
modern techniques creep in
Our friends come to see what we're up to
Our neighbors are less impressed
they forge on valiantly
I visit Jodhpur
to see my multitasking father
who delights in marriage to Sandra
People in Jodhpur are modest
they live in modest homes
enjoying modest lives
laid back
and happy
They mind their own business
They’re cool
real cool
they share their tea
and beedis
the love-bugs enjoy
the younger ones work
and play
while elders relax
Paparazzi are shooed away
Then Delhi for a moment with father and god father
and then to Dharamsala
but soon on the road again… to Zurich and then porsched to Bern
and on to Basel...
a whiff of Paris
and to the Tuscan hills
where fellow monks plan a monastery
then Florence
to see old friends
and on to Rome for communion at Giolitti's
and a blessing from San Antonio
Then on to Delhi book fair
and Dharamsala where the pursuit of truth goes on
