SALAAM/THALAIVA


in India, you're taught 
that there are certain qualities 
that make you a divine human being

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind salaam/thalaiva


I lived up in the Punjab in 2008 for a few months
not sure why but I fell in love with India
from the onset
it wasn't the warm air, that masala hint
mass confusion - a magic

an innocence if you will
a rare transparency that is endearing
their 'business' is ruthless
but their humanity
is mint

I remember once having a few days off
going to a hole in the wall cinema
it was dirty and people dressed in rags
watching bollywood

90 min movie - 60 was dancing/singing
Ya, so SALAAM/THALAIVA 
it's a late Aug thing

This is what it feels like there, Mohali 
in late November - celebrating the Diwali

this is a preview of 
Diwali 22 (coming 10.22)
