We are at the Kolkata Centre for Creativity where I am trying to sneak a picture of a block print of cultural icon Begum Akhtar on a blouse. Its wearer, Mamta Varma, runs Bhairavi’s Chikan in Lucknow, with 300 women who do fine chikankari embroidery. Noting my interest she reveals that the unusual blouse was made by Meeta Mastani, co-founder of Delhi-based printmakers Bindaas Unlimited, to commemorate the singer’s 100th birthday.

Coimbatore, Tamil NaduIt rained buckets one night and a vacant plot of land next to where we live in Coimbatore turned into a shallow lake. The nights thereafter were filled with an orchestra of frogs and insects and astonishing bird activity. I wish I knew their names, but to my untrained eyes they look excited, confused and so busy. “Water has the power to transform the environment,” said R Parameswaran, a birder of the city since 2012.
