Walking around India, I always seem to imagine her to be populated with characters R.K Narayan could have dreamed up, characters who could be fussy, tricky, harmlessly rebellious or philosophical — but who were always believable. Running the risk of sounding cliche she(India) teems with life, abounds with color. The joy of wandering any street, peer through windows or to push open a door is to encounter a character and through it India's character.

ReplyDeleteSpot on!
Just stumbled on your blog via a trawl for images of 1930s cinema. Such evocative photos of the Bangalore cinema! (June 2008)Reminded me of going to a cavernous cinema in Colombo, Sri Lanka, about 20 yr ago. 5 rupees to get in and 'icy chocs, 2rp.' painted on the ancient safety curtain. Outside, civil war and mass unemployment, but for 5 hr of some incomprehensible (to me)Tamil epic, sheer escapism.
