October 2008, Hyderabad.

Yesterday, I attended a play or rather a solo performance on the life of the great Hindi and Urdu writer, the Late Dr. Rahi Masoom Reza. To know more about him go here. The performance was very well written, acted and moving. It was especially relevant for contemporary Indian society where Hindus and Muslims increasingly view each other with suspicion and distrust.

I wish I could have avoided the lamp that seems to be coming out of the actor’s head but since I was limited to shooting from my seat I had to make do with this angle.
