_Bijoya Pronam_

Uncle Ram,
 You were resting on your rickshaw this morning Looking tired, Even at
this age, Life makes you pull a rickshaw, There’s no break on Bijoya Dashami, I 
come near you to do pronam And you so lovingly put your sweet feet together And 
bless me with your hands on my head, Who can bless me as much! And so to you, My
first pronam of this special day.
