What do you do with at a place that has only one season? Cherrapunji the land of perpetual monsoons has the same scenery of mist , clouds, fog and the rain-washed hills no matter what time of the year you arrive here. It has already begun to rain in Shillong when I take the undulating road to Cherrapunji approx. 60 kilometers away. Thankfully by the time I reach Cherrapunji the rain has spent itself and is reduced to occasional busts of drizzle.

On 8th April, the fourth day of the fast the crowds swelled so much at Jantar Mantar that I got only a small glimpse of Anna Hazare between the ears of those before me. Using one of the heads for tripod, I took some shots of the man, being hailed as the latter-day `Gandhi’, fighting for us another `Freedom’.

People where playing cricket everywhere. I found young boys play at the spacious backyard of St Peter’s Church in Kanyakumari as I saw them play in a small glade in Kinnaur. I saw fishermen’s children play on the sands of the Coromandal Coast as I saw scull-capped boys bat it out at a madrasa in Bhopal
