STAND WITH TIBET NOW!

The protests continue all over the world. This time it was a Tibetian Women's Organisation in Bangalore. Ladies break down as the protests get more vociferous. China has cut off all communication lines and many don't know if their families are safe. Can you imagine being in such a situation? Is it fair to stand by and watch while others do? Well, stop being so cynical and sign the petition. Every vote counts... Call me naive but that's what I believe. Lets send these people all the good vibes we can.








1,336,350 have signed already. Please go an sign the petition at Avaaz.

Wondering what the Dalai Lama thinks about all this? Check out his recent interview with the BBC>>>>

Adivare - home and village

Photos from my brief (way too brief) trip to my village, Adivare. Yes, that's where my surname comes from. Adivarekar = Of Adivare. Now that we're done with the QED stuff, here are some photos. I shall return to the land of my roots at leisure one day and do real justice to its remote environs with more words and pictures.

It's a poster for the chaos theory. That many people in quick-step, doing a strange a-mathamatical waltz, tiny ants weaving their way to their movable mound. It's a wonder how this post-colonial left over can stand so opulently, gazing down at Mumbai's millions, while smilingly ushering them into her cavernous interiors. Till now, I was one of those little ants, zooming to my destination, auto-pilot deployed. At least until, I stopped and looked and clicked.

Surveyor's Span

Sigh...

arty farty and all, men...

Due to constant encouragement (read: friendly threats) from chamki and shilo, I sometimes succumb and draw something.



And, no, I won't take offense at a quiet snigger on your part. :D
