Following Fish

by SAMANTH SUBRAMANIAN

In his journey around the Indian coast, Samanth Subramanian looks at the lives of fishing communities and the leaping wealth of the tide that breathes life into local sea cuisine. If you're interested in lores of the sea, this book will not leave you disappointed. Additionally, Subramanian's prose is littered with amusing characters encountered while traversing the Indian peninsula. From West Bengal's hilsa to the world's fastest fish near Goa, the travelogue brings considerable insights into what makes Indian seafood. The author also raises critical ecological questions around overfishing and degradation of water brought on by conglomerates.

THE SOLE MEMORY

I WAS LOOKING FOR A SHOE shop to get my favourite pair repaired. The August Texan heat had loosened the sole on one of them. In other times, I would have thrown the pair away rather than go through the trouble of finding a repair shop. But I loved these shoes and searched for someone to bring them back to life.

THE BORDERLESS GURU

THE AIR IS THIN, TINGED with the scent of juniper. A swift wind whips through faded prayer flags, while glaciers carve valleys and jagged peaks pierce a sky the colour of lapis lazuli. Standing here, the idea of political borders feels almost absurd. Maps may mark out India, Nepal, Bhutan, or Tibet, but the landscape itself refuses to be partitioned. These mountains carry a shared heritage, embodied by a single figure who transcends frontiers: Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born. Known as Guru Rinpoche, the Precious Master, Padmasambhava brought Buddhism to Tibet in the eighth century. His image gazes out from gompas across the Himalayas-wrathful yet compassionate, eyes filled with the wisdom of lifetimes. To see him only as a missionary is to miss the larger truth.
