How to celebrate a birthday properly?? Climbing on each other...

Last Monday was celebrated Janmashtami, Krishna’s birthday – Krishna being an avatar of Vishnu. I had a glimpse of this God in Majuli (see http://www.indiandacoit.com/archive/2011/05/02/majuli-island-part-2.html ). I was told that in “Maharashtra, people enact the god’s childhood attempts to steal butter and curd from earthen pots beyond his reach. A similar pot is...

Uttarakhand, what else?? Garwahl

We left Kumaon from Kathgodam and embarked on a night train journey to Derhadun. (On a side note: the 4th passenger of our cabin came in at around 20:30 when we had already switched off the lights. He settled down, had his food and then lied down. Half an hour later, he received a phone call and talked for like 20 minutes, totally undisturbed (but damm disturbing),...

Uttarakhand, what else?? Kumaon

As soon as we left Kathgodam station – my parents slowly recovering of their first night train journey in India – and began our ascent (in the car) towards Ramgarh, I felt transported to the universe of Tarun Tejpal (see in my list of books The Alchemy of Desire ). And I was not mistaken! When I checked this morning, I found out that Ramgarh is just about fifty kilometers of...

It's all about details...

Daily scene: a beggar at the exit of the church. Till there, nothing really surprising. I first notice his plastic shelter – it is monsoon time – tied around his head… Ah! and then, hold on, he has a peg leg. It's rare a peg leg; I even grew accustomed to the stumps and they don’t frighten me any more. Roh but wait, it is a funny peg leg,...

The hair-dresser experience…

Like everything else (dentist, gynecologist), I was scared at first. But hair is ok, you can take the risk of a damage, it will grow back… So it all started in Pune, in a small salon recommended by a friend, Gazelle. It all went well, especially when the bill came and it was somewhere around 500 rs (about 10€ at the time)!! In Paris, they would charge me no less than 50€ and even more...

Indian comic strip

I am often looking for Indian comics. Apart from Savitha Bhabhi, the online erotic comic that was banned, I never find anything. And the other day, I discovered this excellent comic, on line as well: http://www.facebook.com/Oormila.Cartoons?sk=info Stories of a mother, her 2 kids, her PC-clinging husband, her pilot brother and the cocker spaniel. One story here :...

Shiva devotees

Wait for it ; wait for it. (This is video is not about the Delhi traffic!!) At this time of the year (Savan month), millions (about 3) of Shiva devotees will cross Delhi on their way back from Haridwar to their villages. They are carrying, bare-foot, on more than 400 kms sometimes, holy water from the Ganges to bring back to their temple.
