Seeking Refuge: Nurgul and Baba. My plan was to cross into India at Wagah that unfortunate Punjabi village designated by the British in 1947 as the frontier between India and Pakistan. From there I intended to move steadily eastward to Bengal and Orissa. I had three weeks of holidays and was eager to get out of the Land of the Pure. A week before I left, my boss, a soft-spoken Swiss lawyer, instructed me to book a ticket to Karachi. He filled me in on the details. As for the Chinese, they were exceedingl...

A Friend is gone. R.I.P Teddy Arellano. A dear friend has suddenly passed away. Photo by Teddy Arellano. I woke this morning to read that Teddy Arellano had died. Disbelief rushed through me. How could this be? He was much younger than me. How could this be? Teddy’s death has hit me harder than the others because I knew him. Not just through records and films or. Top Posts and Pages.

Part 2: Development of a different kind. As an aid worker I spent much of the last 30 years thinking about and striving for a vague concept known as ‘community development’. Not my own community mind you, but the communities of Asians, Africans, Balkans, Pacific Islanders and Aboriginal people.

Would anyone miss them if they went the way of the T-Rex? This question has been ‘blowing in the wind’ for years but only recently has it become a topic for public polite conversation. A recent article in the Guardian. All good. But seriously, no industry is going to wind itself up in an act of industrial. Top Posts and Pages. On Three Mistak...
