In monasteries, as everywhere else in India, cricket rules. Here, one chilly winter morning at Bylakuppe near Coorg in Karnataka, young monks are at serious play…
Monks need some time off too. A couple of them here chewing thoughtfully on timepass moongphali, at Rumtek monastery in Sikkim…
Monks and mobile phones is a recurring theme in my monk-watching observations – at Namgyal monastery in Mcleodganj, this young monk was using his break time to – as I like to imagine – text his friends, or send in his vote for Indian Idol…
And finally, this photographer at Kala Ghoda, trying to take pictures of the vintage car rally – I stood watching him from a distance and was curious to see what he was clicking – but he suddenly turned and caught sight of me taking his photographs and walked away, with a slightly sheepish smile…
