live set


I would wonder why 6 out of 10 Bollywood movies use NYC as a back drop.Every morning when I walk to work I see people of all kinds dressed in clothes from the 60's to the trendiest.I see men with Macintoshs and pipes...women in fur boots and fur jackets.... boring black, yet prim and proper investment bankers......Hippies with funky outfits.You could pull off the craziest styles in the big apple. For a movie maker this is a live set.

In the name of love

Spaces that I love and cherish!










Cultural pluralism


Cultural pluralism is a term used when smaller groups within a larger society maintain their unique cultural identities, and their values and practices are accepted by the wider culture.
I think the synergy among diverse cultures has a powerful effect on the society.Each culture has something unique and valuable to offer.
I visited the Amish county this weekend.They believe that self-sufficiency and self-reliance is more important than convenience. They are a simple bunch of people who have managed to hold on to their culture ,unadulterated.I wonder if they are a curious bunch of people.Are the young adults ever tempted to cross over to the so called normal convenient lifestyle?
