Singing my days...: Sweets for the Sweet
http://singingmydays.blogspot.com/2007/07/sweets-for-sweet.html
One teacher's search for stories and how they hold us together. Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Sweets for the Sweet. I have had some memorable meals on the road; meals I will never forget. Ruby and I standing outside her house in Kolkata. She shared that when she had the chance to meet former French President Francois Mitterand she told him, all Kolkata can offer you is her soul, and, by the end of our visit, I felt she'd offered the same to us. I think it's because you two are in India but the only food I crav...

Singing my days...: The Connection

One teacher's search for stories and how they hold us together. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. A connection," he said again, as if it didn't need much explaining. I was too tired from our overnight train ride from Kolkata to ask to many questions, but now I've been wondering. Where is the connection? Suddenly my students in New York seem very far away. My life seems far away. I ask what the song means and Samar translates:. I can't wait to see the pictures of these fabulous people and places. The one on the lef...

One teacher's search for stories and how they hold us together. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Try This at Home. Tumeric," she says, holding the root for me to see. Mayna crushes another kind of leaf to make dark green paste, grinds up the flowers to make an unsatisfying blue, collects her pallet together and heads into the house to demonstrate how traditional patachitra scrolls are painted using natural paints and a basic pallet. Here is a translation of her song about the Tsunami:. On 26th December, 2004 Tsun...

Singing my days...: Hello. How are you?
http://singingmydays.blogspot.com/2007/07/teaser.html
One teacher's search for stories and how they hold us together. Thursday, July 26, 2007. Hello How are you? Here are some images from Orissa. I'm about five entries behind. I never was good on a deadline. Two Bonda women share the stories and traditions of their people.

http://singingmydays.blogspot.com/2007/08/monkey-mind.html
One teacher's search for stories and how they hold us together. Friday, August 10, 2007. Everybody in India, it seemed, had a story to tell. Even the temples, ornately carved with maidens dancing or washing their hair or waiting for their suitors, offered layers and layers of stories. One temple, in Bhubaneswar, even had the story of the monkey and the crocodile carved among its elephants and lions and maidens and monks. The Monkey and the Crocodile. As told by Samar. She smacked her lips. And I am your ...

http://krotza.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Krõtza Ji tegemised Indias ehk Things Take Time. Kolmapäev, jaanuar 24, 2007. Teisipäev, 23. jaanuar 2007. a. Uskumatu, aeg ikka jookseb kiirelt mööda.
