I collected all these memories of the colorful dolls, aroma of the south Indian cuisines and Kathakali dancers, the sufi melodies at the Nizamuddin's darga and Tagore, packed them in my luggage and boarded the Samjhota bus.

Villages of Hong Kong
Hong Kong has many villages. Some of them are walled, all of them are
very old and most have been partially or completely demolished. The villages we visited were Cha Kwo Ling ( one of the last squater villages in HK), Tai Wai Village and Nga Tsin Wai Tsuen. Out of this only Nga Tsin Wai Tsuen was walled.
