The Reenactment – II

Left:1988. My mother does tamul satun tcharun- cleaning rice.
The image is one of the last photographs of the house.
Right: 2010. She has a habit of eating rice while she does it, two sweeps of hand over the heap and in the next move she pops two grains into her mouth, and she does it with the deftness of a bird. For that she got the name Munne’Haer – Munna the Myna.

  1. Rohit,
    Thanks for the comment. It was taken by an uncle of mine using a 35 mm Hanimex. There was a time when I wanted to grow up fast so that I could own that sweet piece of equipment. With the photofilms being a costly thing, no one would let a kid take photographs, digital cameras changed all that.
    But now, i do have that camera with me.
