Two Portraits

Two contrasting portraits, a fisherman and a dancer, both from Kerala are seen here, the first from Kannur and the second from Ernakulum.

One open faced and down to earth, the other, sensual and mysterious.

 

The Day of the Strike

A strange silence descended on the normally crowded streets of Ernakulum when a general strike was called and with no transport we were able to walk the empty streets unhindered. Kerala has a Communist government and the unions are a force to be reckoned with.
