These raw mangoes are almost in reach by stretching an arm out of the window – these are just about large enough but still completely raw to make a good jar of “aam panna“…..delicious!

A rusty chain threaded between the roots of a Banyan tree and a lock holding it all together – wonder what purpose this serves? Someone used to chain a bicycle or rickshaw to the tree for safekeeping?
Continual “hartals” in Dhaka, but the water lilies are pretty

3 Hartals last week and 2 already this week. Work is quite at a standstill.
* Hartal means a general strike.

Sensory overload!
Apr 13th, 2012 by Anil
Works by around 300 Bangladeshi artists in one place at one time…… it was just fantastic but a complete overload for the brain trying to absorb so much art at one time. Need to go back to spend time appreciating selected pieces
Artist Shahabuddin Ahmed talking and gesturing at the inaugural ceremony of the Dhaka Art Summit which opened on 12th April at the Shilpakala Academy at Dhaka ~ Artists Monirul Islam and Kalidas Karmakar at the show ~ “Reflection 5” acrylic on canvas, by friend Fareha Zeba.

Does it satisfy?
Mar 20th, 2012 by Anil
Using the camera [and related paraphernalia] and photography as a medium without thinking of the technical aspects, enjoying the entire process of making an image from the time of seeing and composing a picture in the viewfinder to the end-result on paper [or screen] : the satisfaction level? MASSIVE. Yes, a lot!

Panam Nagar – tribute exhibition
Feb 21st, 2012 by Anil
While driving down Gulshan road 56 and turning at 55, noticed this nice looking poster advertising a water-color painting exhibition “A Tribute to Panam Nagor” at Khazana restaurant organized by ‘Arts Council Dhaka’. A small poster stuck on the glass door of Khazana shows the full picture ….. OK, so a half-blue door is a half blue door but it so happens that this particular image appears to have been taken/lifted from a photo I took at Panam Nagar in Nov 2009.
