So here, I start with the first person.
Of all professions in the world, Rakesh chooses to sell bhelpuri amidst the white snow of Rohtang Pass at the windy heights of 4000+ m above sea level.
A native of Kalyanpur in Delhi, he has been living in Manali for the past 12 years, making the daily trip up to the popular mountain pass to attract tourists with spicy chaat and hot chole kulche.
But winter is coming and soon he will return home to Delhi and make rewaris for the upcoming Lohri celebrations.

We speak of the spiritual core of classical Indian dance but it is rare for artists to reach beyond stories with the aspiration of tapping into the cosmic. Kashmir Shaivism expresses a profound non-dualistic understanding of the universe — viewing life as filled with rasa/enjoyment. This philosophy of inclusiveness is the need of the day and its interpretation through Bharatanatyam and Kathak in a production by Anugraham — Classical Art Community called Rango’ntaratma on April 1 at 6:45 pm at Kamani Auditorium was an eye-opener for most.
Rango’ntaratma is the central sutra of the Shiva Sutras which define the inner consciousness of the individual as the performance arena where life is played out. Every individual is an actor who assumes multiple roles in his/her life. Manifesting this in performance has been the driving inspiration behind Kamalini Nagarajan Dutt’s year long creative efforts envisioning the theme and working with four superb dancers to bring to life the concepts of this wonderful sutra — Naada, Bindu, Kalaa and Rasa.
The production reveals the hidden concepts of some of these mythological symbols. The journey begins from the formless and unfolds in various forms accessible to sensory perceptions.
Full disclosure: Kamalini Nagarajan Dutt is my kalyanamitra and I have watched with awe as she has immersed herself into the process of developing the concepts and directing the dancers over many months.

Scenes from the 4-day sessions of Second Annual Meeting of the Africa Rice Breeding Task Force held at AfricaRice, Cotonou, Benin, 24-27 April 2012.
Breeders from national agricultural research systems of 22 African countries, AfricaRice and the International Rice Research Institute met at the 2nd Annual Meeting of the Africa Rice Breeding Task Force, Cotonou, Benin.
The objective of this Task Force is to accelerate the development and release of new rice varieties through multi-environment and multi- year trials of many promising breeding lines.
The Breeding Task Force has also been actively engaged in capacity development programs on breeding, experimental design, and germplasm database management for national researchers.
At this meeting, four days of intensive discussions led to identification of promising rice lines to advance in the screening process. The rice breeders are confident that in 2013 the first lines that have gone through this continent-wide screening process will be ready for release.

I have no idea what sort of a dragon fly this is, it was really big, was hovering way high and had a really bad temper.
The Rakesh are a vicious Lizard Race using primitive stone and bone weaponry. I regret giving this chap that pose with his arm but I need to show the claws.
