Here are a couple shots of things that are more interesting!
Delhi is full of wild street dogs, though they're usually pretty peaceful. Ocassionally you hear of someone being bit and having to go through rabies treatment, but usually they just hang around, often scrounging for bits of food. This one is taking it easy with a rare treat for a dog. Look carefully - it's actually drinking Coke from the Coke bottle!
Visitors have been quite frequent lately. We finally met up with this former student of mine in INSIGHT, and a "mentee" of Janis'. We've been trading places between the US and India the last couple of years. When we're in the US she's here in India. When we return to India, she has returned to the US. She's here now for an extended time in a study-abroad program. They're meeting in Reflection Art Gallery for this photo since both are artists.
After our last trip to the US, a couple young artists asked if they could visit us and intern the first several months of 2010. At the time, it sounded like a great idea. So plans were set. Unfortunately, early December we heard about the new visa regulations for India, which requires that we be out-of -country during the time the interns were scheduled to be in-country! Consequently, plans had to be adjusted. As it turns out, all this may be "a blessing in disguise." The interns will now serve at Reflection Gallery four days a week under the direction of the Gallery Founder and Director. They will be co-teaching the next session of Art Classes for "Made To Create" with the national artist who has been teaching with us. Now we will really see if what we have been piloting can be replicated!
Below, Janis and the interns meet one of the ladies of our neighborhood who has taken an interest in some of our creativity- and art-workshops.
