Mysore

Mysore is one of my favorite cities in India. The reasons for this are not that obvious. There are no important sights to visit, no mind boggling temples or forts. It's also not a particularly beautiful place. But there is something about the people that I really liked. They are open and friendly. When I was walking through the streets of Mysore I was very often waved at, to come over and sit down and have a short chat… so often, that I had to decline many times, as I wanted to cover some ground and get some photos in the limited time I had in this friendly city.

Victory

"Manhattan celebrates the election of President Obama.

I've seen the Tompkins Square riots, way too many New Years Eves, and the 2003 blackout which were all pretty wild, but this was something else. For a couple of hours people in Manhattan were cheering, dancing, running...It was like years of contained anger busting out in exchange for hope and joy. Here is a video.
