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.

Some weddings are more exotic than the others but can anything beat a Muslim Wedding in Africa? Yes this was just what I was flying to Africa for in the winter of 2009. I was hired for a good one week too, the wedding promising to be an experience of a lifetime. But Africa has something that exceeds your expectations. And this marriage in Dar es Salaam, which was a strange confluence of Indian Muslim culture and Arabic religious attitudes, certainly did.

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
