Yesterday has been a beautiful sunny Sunday. Delhi winter is round the corner, but during the day the air is still warm, and sometimes the haze clears, giving space to a sky so blue that it seem to swallow even the dust.
In the street downstairs, I found these two. I found them amazing.
I thought, sorry [...]

Here we are. I go to bed now in India, and in the US the electoral day is only half-way through. When I’ll wake up, in some states the vote counting will be over, and probably a few hours later America will have a new President.
But, as far as I am concerned, Obama already won. [...]
About the Beeline

Born in North Italy from a Southern mother, a significant cut of my summers has been spent in the part of Italy that pronounces tré, for three, not trè (as we do, North).
A thousand kilometers, not one more, from down-my-stairs to down-my-Grandma’s-stairs. Nonna Tetta, who still waits for my arrivals looking from behind the curtains [...]
Non sa/Non risponde ends here

I could open a brand new blog, sure.
Only, I felt I had to carry with me all my confused baggages, and I have no rational alibi for that. Just like when you open your closet and, well worn clean and ironed, hanging in the middle of the “blue clothes” sector, you se them: the Levi’s [...]

A few months ago, I went to Dharamsala.
Dharamsala is a town in Himachal Pradesh, North India. It is quite a spread town, and it looks more like a bunch of villages climbing over the mountains. One of them, is McLeod Ganj. McLeod Ganj is a place full of Western people dressed in funny ways, but [...]
I can always pretend it’s a journal

I am bad at keeping journals, but good at keeping things.
Lately I have been cleaning up my room from the stuff I’ve accumulated in the past six years. It was a lot of stuff. So much that trying to decide what to keep and what not wasn’t even hard: throwing away any object I had [...]

Earth Hour
Posted in memory sticks, what's up on March 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today, is the Earth Hour day. Which means that tonight from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm (whichever is your time zone) you turn off the lights and any other electric device you are using.
It’s just for an hour; just once a year.
Do it.
This reminded me of a quote I use to be fond of when [...]
Water Day

Today, I am reminded, is World Water Day.
This makes me think about two stories.
The first: last year I saw We Feed the World. The film ends with an interview with Peter Brabeck, chairman of Nestlé International. Brabeck speaks about the problem of water distribution in the world. He says there are two ways of looking [...]
When the World discovers Globalisation goes beyond Call Centers

A bit more than one year ago, in Paris, a photojournalist told me if I knew the NYC Sewer were made in India. He was just coming back from New York and he showed me this picture:
