with Sri Ganesh

... J.P. has only come to offer flowers, as he has some other work. The fine fellow offers Rs. 10/-

Sweet Ganesha, Your slow dance is Like a honeycomb Of tender light, Yet each step is Filled with knowledge As you guard The bare approach To Her Abode =

There you dance And the universe watches, Whether you are alone Or Pilgrims are coming...

Aum

... After noon, a local man comes in to pray and offers Rs. 10/- and, just then, Senthil, the SBI man, arrives in chauffeur-driven car to hand me, from the management, a box of sweets as advance Deepawali wishes, and he himself offers Rs. 10/-...

... The weather is now crisp and cool and sunny, the air is quiet, the light is wonderful... But for the distant sounds of crackers, there is hardly any traffic today, as most everyone is celebrating Deepawali at home. Again, J.P. has only come to offer flowers... Kumar of Orchard comes in with a group of small kids; it is his little son’s birthday: they all come in to pray and offer a box of sweets and Rs. 20/-...

Sri Ganesh, You appear as Purified gold,
