Here is my attempt at encapsulating the essence of India

1. India is an ancient country

2. Steeped in Tradition

3. And Prayer

4. With many cultures

5. And festivals...a festival for color,Holi

6. As well as a festival of lights or Diwali

7. Road side businesses

8. And businesses within glass walls

9. Sprawling cities

10. And decrepit slums

11. With images that make sense

12. And those that don’t

13. A land of contrasts

14. With humbling poverty in one strata

15. And growing affluence in another

16. A land embracing change
