Trial trial trial!
Scream scream scream!
Justice is obviously a dream.
No matter how loud you scream.
The pawn always on the bright day scenes.
No no no, no question to be asked.
Yes yes yes, we have justice.
Yes, yes, yes, that’s fair enough.

Let’s be gone by gone
The linkage was utterly torn
Some, think would depends upon
Separation was once invisible
Obviously and clearly visible at dawn.
Crossroad Burning

Cooling minds
The city ’s on fire
Life on the thinnest wire
People have tried
With ambiguous smiles.

Palace Hotels of Rajasthan in Traversing the Orient Magazine
Nov 1st, 2009 by aroon
In 2007, my photo book, Palace Hotels of Rajasthan, was published by Reise Know How Verlag in Germany. Tom Vater wrote the text. The book covers a wide range of heritage hotels with royal connections around Rajasthan, from modest but attractive mansions to gigantic palaces, from pure, sumptuous Raj nostalgia to bottomless kitsch.
The book came about after two trips around Rajasthan, in 2005 and 2006, for a series of magazine stories on the hotel businesses of India’s splendidly eccentric maharajas.
This month’s Traversing the Orient Magazine looks back at some of the most interesting properties we stayed at.
I shot Paul Theroux
Oct 11th, 2009 by aroon
The Calcutta connection.
During a recent Q&A session at Kinokuniya, a Bangkok Bookshop, best selling travel writer Paul Theroux asked his audience, whether anyone had been to Calcutta. Only myself and my husband, Tom, raised their hands.
Mr. Theroux, clearly as enthralled by Calcutta as a writer as I am as a photographer, called the city “an antique” and a “living museum”.
Hence Mr. Theroux had no problem recognizing me when I lined up to have one of his books signed by him. He asked me whether I was a travel writer. I had to disappoint him and tell him I was in fact a travel photographer, but that my husband Tom here next to me was a fellow travel writer.
Mr. Theroux got up and greeted Tom and then graciously posed for a portrait.
