Varanasi

The most noticeable thing about entering India from Nepal was the space.  No longer hemmed in by mountains, it was refreshing to feel the vast plains of northern India stretch out for miles into the distance.  The journey from Sunauli, at the border, ... Read more >

chai with Agam-ji

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 | By solbeam | Views [1830]

divine chaos

Wed, 17 Oct 2007 | By solbeam | Views [3165]

Why India? I find the inquiry funny for the fact that the question is, for others, as obscurely obvious as the answer, for me. But I was asked this question three times this week and, only just, woke to the idea that perhaps it was not a rhetorical ... Read more >

Revolutionary Spirit:
On every street corner and building there is evidence of the 1959 Socialist Revolution. This graffiti of Che Guevara (Revolutionary Leader) is one of the most iconic images of the revolution and is found all over the city, this particular image was taken in the old city on the median of a busy city street. It's both evidence of the collective past that Cubans have shared but also signifies the small piece of revolutionary each Cuban carries around with them. I think that the truck in the image represents Cubans carrying on with their lives amongst the memory of their incredible history. : by jetsettingadventurer, Views[505]
