"Mike Davis the 65 year old American Creative writer, social commentator and political activist has published an article on Toms Dispatch questioning if China now props up the world, the question is: For how much longer? Davis states, ”Officially, the People’s Republic of China is in the midst of an epochal transition from an export-based to a consumer-based economy. …Unfortunately for the Chinese, and possibly the world, that country’s planned consumer boom is quickly morphing into a dangerous real-estate bubble. ...now every city with more than one million inhabitants (at least 160 at last count) aspires to brand itself with a Rem Koolhaas skyscraper or a destination mega-mall. The result has been an orgy of over-construction. …In effect, a shadow banking system has arisen with big banks moving loans off their balance sheets into phony trust companies and thus evading official caps on total lending. …If China has a hard landing, it will also break the bones of leading suppliers like Brazil, Indonesia, and Australia. Japan, already mired in recession after triple mega-disasters, is acutely sensitive to further shocks from its principal markets. And the Arab Spring may turn to winter if new governments cannot grow employment or contain the inflation of food prices.”

Abderrahim El Ouali the Moroccan social writer on political and environmental issues has published an article on IPS News stating that Morocco is still divided over marriage of minors. In the article, El Ouali states “The widespread practice of marrying minors continues to be one of the most incendiary legal and political issues in Morocco today, causing open confrontations between hard-line Islamists and moderates throughout the country. …30,000 minor girls are married every year – roughly 10 percent of the 300,000 marriages recorded… A campaign to gather one million signatures to forbid the marriage of minors is already in progress, sparked by the death of Amina Filali, a 15-year-old girl who committed suicide after being forced to marry her rapist. …Sheik Mohamed El Maghrawi, a well-known Moroccan Muslim scholar, published a Fatwa reiterating families’ right to marry off their daughters over the age of nine. His position provoked a major scandal but the scholar suffered no consequences. …El Maghrawi even expressed his attachment to his position, "based on the Quran and the words of the Prophet " according to him. However, opposition to this particular reading of Sharia’a law has become widespread. "All the laws that go against the dignity of women must be amended or even abolished ", said the president of the Chamber of Councilors in Moroccan parliament.” Inspired by ips news ow.ly/bk67E image source Twitter ow.ly/bk67f

Susan Adele Greenfield the 61 year old UK Baroness and neuroscientist who specializes in the physiology of the brain pertaining to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, has expressed concerns that digital technology may be having negative impacts on early development of children’s brains. Greenfield suggests that social networking sites in particular may be having an impact that we will not become aware of for several decades, pointing to the fact the human brain can change and the environment is capable of doing so. Criticized in some academic circles for her lack of clinical research, Greenfield’s likens her critics to "like the people who denied that smoking caused cancer". Greenfield says she is not criticizing the technologies themselves, but rather how and the extent to which technologies are used.

I shot this wedding for a friend Avinandan and his bride-to-be Bhargavi, a couple months back. Didn't post any pics then because I needed to make sure they had the pictures first!
Here's one from after the dinner party; taken in the hotel lobby.

There are some men who write books, and there are some who spend their whole lives trying to become one. Ernest Hemingway belonged to the second camp. Before the first sentence was written, there was already a performance underway: ambulances in Italy, cafés in Paris, marlin in Cuban waters, lion country in East Africa. Every stop another verse in a song that sounded older than the man singing it.
Funny thing about boxing. It's the only conversation where silence lands harder than words. Two people agree to stand in a square and discover what remains after style runs out. Hemingway understood that. He boxed in Paris with friends and fellow writers, often in improvised gyms and smoky rooms where the canvas smelled of sweat and old ambition. He wasn't a professional, and no record books celebrate his jab, but he trained seriously enough to know that the first lesson isn't how to throw a punch—it's how to take one without surrendering your balance. That rhythm found its way into his prose: short combinations, no wasted movement, no flourish after the bell.
People say his writing is simple. That's like saying a stone is simple because it doesn't apologize for being heavy. Simplicity is expensive. It asks the artist to remove every decorative excuse until only structure remains. Whether that's honesty or branding depends on where you're standing.
Hemingway built a public image the way some sculptors build monuments: with repetition. The fisherman. The hunter. The war correspondent. The boxer. The man who could outdrink the night and still wake before dawn to write. It was a masterpiece of self-curation long before the word "branding" entered polite conversation. The myth became so polished that many readers stopped asking where the literature ended and the advertisement began.
Yet myths have curious habits. They begin as masks and eventually become mirrors. Behind the broad shoulders and broken noses of his heroes there is often someone measuring fear in teaspoons, wondering how dignity survives when strength no longer does. The loudest reputation concealed a remarkably quiet obsession: grace under pressure isn't about winning; it's about refusing to become smaller than the moment. Maybe that's why his boxing matters. Not because he was a great fighter, but because the ring became an editing room. Every unnecessary movement was punished. Every hesitation carried interest. Every clean punch resembled a clean sentence: economical, direct, impossible to misunderstand.
Late at night, if you imagine the old typewriter keeping time like a speed bag, you can almost hear it. Tap. Tap. Pause. Another round. Another page. Somewhere outside, the world keeps inventing noise. Inside, the iceberg theory keeps going, one man tries to answer it with fewer words than anyone thought possible.

Shot this while driving by Maharashtran countryside near Lonavala, on a documentary trip. You can see some amazingly warm tones in the dry natural landscape there this time of year.
And also, worth mentioning, the dots in the sky are paragliders.
