Paris Dehli photo ?


Yesterday (Saturday) I went to see the Paris Dehli Bombay(Mumbai) exhibit at the Beaubourg center. It was really amazing (see a little video here). Not that I "understood" everything (being non Indian, I don't have all the cultural codes to understand everything), but I enjoyed every single part of it. What I loved the most? The fact that you're miles away from the traditional Indian culture: no Taj Mahal nor Maharadja palace in the exhibit, but real modern stuff! All the time I thought of Rahul Chittella, a talented young Indian film maker whose work I got to discover thanks to PDP.

    This is a great photo and video. My daughter married a young man from India. Indian people are very gracious, and friendly. When they married she had two ceremonies...one American and one Indian. I must admit, the Indian ceremony was far more interesting than the American ceremony. Bright colors, henna, incense, gifts for the Gods and the food was delicious!

    Beautiful photo....Indian culture is facinating. The friends I have made from there are some of the most gracious and polite I have ever known...and yes, I like the food also! Thanks, Eric! ^_^

    I agree with Beau Gosse...the Indian people are so wonderful and kind despite so many hardships. Thank you for sharing the video. During all of my trips there I walk away always amazed at how difficult things seem, but how kind and smiling the people are. A lesson to be learned I'm sure.
