Streets of Dhaka, revisited

A couple of images from Dhaka on July 18th.
A three-wheeler taxi driver who had stopped to get some «Jhaal Muri» [Jhaal = spicy/chili hot. Muri or Moori = puffed rice] which is a favorite local street-food/snack. JhaalMuri is a mouth watering combination of puffed rice chopped green chili onion coriander and a spicy mixture of condiments and a bit of mustard oil. All shaken up together and sold in little paper packets.
The Rickshaw drivers waiting on queue for passengers on the avenue.

M and the Tai Chi ladies

Mannat today and the Taichi ladies at Benjasiri Park in Bangkok where we go often in the evenings so Mannat can roller-blade and play. The park is full of kids and people working-out, jogging and then there are two groups of people who are there just around sun-set to Taichi. Their movements and grace are a pleasure to watch, every time.

Art & Buddhism

20080712 0327 150x15020080712 0315 150x150Did two visits to «Passion of Thai Modern Art» - an art exhibition at Siam Paragon with 81 art pieces from KASIKORNBANK's contemporary collection and another 127 sculptures and 93 paintings from the Bangkok Sculpture Center's collection displayed over 4 floors of space. The mix of Buddhism and Buddhist influences in the Modern Art of Thailand blended beautifully. The large «Dimensions of Life» by artist Panya Vijinthanasarn rises 1800 CM.

And so Mannat was straight into the pool this afternoon after school with a rubber ball that she would submerge and then let it «bounce» out of the water. This went on for an hour....and then she spotted a pair of Sunbirds in the shrubs, I got a few frames as they went into the tree and then they shot off as I approached closer....I particularly like the photo of the vertical dive and they took wing.

And a nice sunset... while I was writing this post....so a few quick ones from the window. The color of the light and the buildings made me think of music by Pink Floyd.
