Of protests and prayers
My memories of Iran in the nineties tinkle with the sound of water. Of streams running down the slopes of the Alborz mountains above Tehran, fed by the snows of Mount Damavand. Of chinar leaves floating in the water channels that raced along Vali Asr, the long avenue that slopes through the city. Of sipping black tea from thin glasses under the Si-o-se Pol (the bridge of the 33 arches) in Isfahan as the Zayandeh Rud (literally, the life-giving river) flowed past.

Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline’ is an advertising tagline I have always admired. Wordplay aside, it beautifully captures the promise that Maybelline’s beautifying effect is so seamless that beholders are left wondering if your beauty is all-natural and genetically bestowed, or skilfully enhanced by human artifice.

When stars blinded the astrologer
Emperor Krishnadeva Raya once decided to invade Bijapur. The sultan of Bijapur, knowing he couldn't fight the Vijayanagara army, sent a smart and young astrologer to the Raya's court. The soothsayer impressed the king and courtiers with his glib talk, and drew the king into asking him how the planned war would fare. The fellow then pretended to read the royal horoscope, drew a grim face, and said the stars weren't favourable.

From Wheels to Well-being
The approach to a Transport Nagar is a distinctive one, with smell of diesel and dust engulfing it and long queues of parked trucks outside with faded and dented bodies narrating a story of their long arduous journeys. Our visit to Transport Nagar, Pahadi, Patna in Bihar was no different and matched the scene with familiar landscape. We walked the maze of noise and pollution, with the marks of tyre tracks crisscrossed the muck on an uneven ground, to find out about well-being of drivers. What initially seemed like a harsh journey surprisingly unfolded into a pleasant experience, buoyed by the positive feedback we received about the Healthcare Centre.

It all starts in the mind. As an adorable four-year-old, Nobuyuki Tsujii loved sounds. He sat with chubby legs splayed, a toy piano keyboard on his lap, banging and caressing the keys. The diversity of sounds delighted him. All senses on high alert, he says he could touch the sounds, see colours in the notes. Like Vincent van Gogh, Nobu celebrates the richness of life through art. No detail is too small or humble.
