Feb 14th

The day began with watching a 'travel and living' episode taking me to damascus....what I found unfortunate is that while the program highlighted the dying traditions. The artists were not credited in the rolls or no contact information was given.Many documentaries do great dis service by not fixing the meta data of the art forms they championing for.

was wondering if we can get in touch with these artists and encourage an exchange of thought and learning. rather than only being exposed to bollywood versions of this delight.
