semi abstract favorites





















A huge sundial/planetary sculpture used for astrology॥all stone is hand cut and marked to the millimeter or so, for accurate planetary measurements (Delhi)।



















Orange palm fruit which grows in Kausik's yard, called betelnut, drying for use in ceremonies and with leaf are held in mouth ॥ (I don't quite know what I'm talking about here), but they're on the roof, where K's room is and looked nice against the blue house. (in Kolkata--I'd write Calcutta, but that's not the name of the city.)




































The X-shaped images are jute stems, standing like corn shocks after the outer layers are removed to make rope (near Kolkata)। The stems will be fuel
