Moving!

Hey everyone,

I'm moving my blogging to www.tinanandi.blogspot.com

The reason being that I simply can't maintain two blogs. I want to write and keep it as a part of Tina Nandi Photography but this space is a little too private to share with the masses so I will not be blogging here much (if at all) anymore.

Come follow me there!

Also, check out my new portfolio site www.tinanandi.com

There are still some changes being added but they will have to wait till I get back from Benaras! Be sure to add the other blog on your RSS feeds so you can read more about Benaras when I get back...

In the meantime, you can read my little "Guide to Mangalore" from my experience this weekend!

Aradhna

I learnt of this band about 6 years ago. Through random clicks on the internet, I landed up on their website. I clicked on the song 'Gaao Re' and tears streamed down my cheeks. The profound lyrics, the fusion of instruments and cultures... It was beautiful and to this day, they still have the ability to move me to tears. Watching them perform Live was literally a dream come true for me. It is really hard to put into words the kind of deep resounding joy that washed over me as I watched them perform on Saturday 17th November, 2012.

A day that will remain forever impressed upon my memory.

Miss these people.

And our looooooong, deep conversations!

What's wrong with the world? I am.

For four months now, no wet waste has left our house. It's all been going into the 'Mota Lota'. A handy little product for home-composting.

I've had people tell me I'm crazy and wasting my time for doing it but I tell you, it's greatly satisfying. Sure, it takes work and some getting used to but what good thing on the planet doesn't?

I admit, there are days that I wish I didn't have to do it. But there are also days that I wish I didn't have to brush my teeth or shower or eat or wake up... On those days, it takes some self-coaxing and extra willpower but that's life; everyday we are fighting against some 'natural' instinct. Everyday we are making choices.

When I drive into town for some errand or a meeting or to meet a friend, seeing garbage lying at the corner of every street has now become normal. Bangalore has gone from 'Garden City' to 'Garbage City'. No joke. The people are blaming the BBMP. The BBMP is blaming the people. And the garbage is going nowhere. Literally. And it won't until we stop looking at what the other person is doing and admit that the responsibility and 'fault' lies squarely on our own shoulders.

To quote G.K. Chesterton:

"Dear Sir:

Regarding your article 'What's Wrong with the World?'

I am.

Yours truly,

G.K. Chesterton"
