I'm Ghana go to Accra: On the Road Again

http://ghanago.blogspot.com/2007/02/akosombo-mosquito-massacre-2.html

I'm Ghana go to Accra. Saturday, February 17, 2007. On the Road Again. One month straight in Accra and the walls are beginning to close in. The traffic, the heat, the teeming masses yearning to call me Obruni all began to take its toll on me. I needed to get out of town, if even for a night so jay (my new roommate http:/ jaydavidson.blogspot.com. Rob, and I head to Akosambo, the sight of the Akosambo dam which consistently provides the entire country with six glorious days a week of electricity. So a gro...

Traveling India: December 2012

http://harshsatya.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 14, 2012. Dharampal and beyond: Sadharanikaran, Samaaj and Itihasa.(incomplete). And feel apprehensive to step out. I beleive for my uncles it must have been a sigh of releif to not see their sons stepping out. The group from Raipur was to have a two day interaction with Pawan ji, followed by a few days in the field. This was the first time for me to have listened to Pawan ji at length. And it's here that I first heard of Dharampal ji. At that level it appears 'natural' to beleive in our...

Traveling India: The cruelty in Jungles and Television studios: our response to the Maoist attack

http://harshsatya.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-cruelty-in-jungles-and-television.html

Wednesday, May 29, 2013. The cruelty in Jungles and Television studios: our response to the Maoist attack. Why can’t there be an uninterrupted television debate, where the speakers are allowed to complete their point? I am sure, a debate of such kind will not lead to bankruptcy of the channel. I am sure the channels have enough scope to allow for uninterrupted debates occasionally. Or why can’t I be critical of Maoist violence, yet endorse their cause? Forest officer, the sarkari. To term innocent deaths...

Traveling India: April 2010

http://harshsatya.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 24, 2010. Tryst with different kinds of Beggars. During my stay in SIDH, near Mussoorie i realized that the beggars here are seasonal beggars. They come to Mussoorie during the summer months just like the tourists. And once the tourist season is over, they return to where ever they come from. For them its not only a means to escape the heat waves of the plains but also to earn some money. They move in families. The lost lady in Agra:. Another lost lady in Delhi:. Links to this post.

Traveling India: July 2009

http://harshsatya.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 11, 2009. Trip to Pingoli with Kanwarjeet. All this raised a fundamental question in my head. When I travel and talk to people like Parshruram ji, I get a different picture of the society (a rich, dynamic, healthy society). While when others travel and interact with the same people, they get a completely different picture (of exploitation, rape, untouchability, starvation etc). How is this possible? Do we talk to different people? Or do we talk about different times? Links to this post.
