    Gods on Wheels

    In the aftermath of the harvest, every village in the region nominates vehicles, decorations and of course the Gods in full dress suit. And their belching tractors join a line of other belching tractors with their own Gods and depictions of adventures from Hindu scriptures.

    The Singers of Waee

    Mitha Khan Jat and Sumar Khan from the village of Bagadia in the Banni region of Kutch are the last two Waee folk singers left in the country. They sat bewildered in a tiny segment of the sprawling Sophia auditorium stage.

    Halloween 2008, NYC

    Ghosts and ghouls were scrapping for the few subway seats with hobgoblins and vampires. A Viking kindly got up to offer his seat to an elderly Wonder Woman. Obama and McCain masks in the scores reminded us of the impending Election Day just 4 days later.

     
  • Gorkhaland Protests, Darjeeling, North East India

    Gorkhaland Protests, Darjeeling, North East India

    I lay languishing in the sweet pre-monsoon of Darjeeling, the chants rent the air, already thick with fog. The looping lilting musical Nepali and English cries of thousands of Gorkhas demanding their identity.

    Nagaur Sufi Festival

    The crescent moon, beamed down like a lopsided smiley face on the tastefully lit Nagaur Fort. It was apt that this perennial symbol of Islam should hold court for the resurrection of an ancient tradition – the sufi durbar.

     
  • Indira Gandhi International Academy

    Indira Gandhi International Academy

    On the outskirts of Bangalore is a campus misleadingly titled, “The Indira Gandhi International School.” All the kids here are orphans or abandoned, mostly comprising Sri Lankan refugees rendered homeless by the tsunami or constant fighting between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan army.
