Recycle & Bicycle



People figure out ways to reuse almost everything here. Old newspapers are turned into bags. The same bicycle is fixed and then fixed again- for generations. Disposable lighters are refilled. Plastic disposable dishware is almost non existent and if one does find it- the fork, spoon or plate is washed after, and reused. Shirts are stitched. Pants are patched. Shoes re-soled. Booties cleansed with H2O. Not TP. Dented cars are banged out. Buses are just old and get older with every kilometre.

Friends, we gotta start recycling. We gotta put down our car keys and get them legs a moving, give our thighs some excercise and pedal. Pedal our bicycles.

This image is old chips, biscuits and namkeen packaging cut, styled and hung by string- spaced with old plastic ink pen innards.

And... The Ram Lila Production from the view of the audience.

Tomorrow I am off to the high himalayas for six days. More to come at the end of the month.

Love to all.

It's great to read about what you're up to, Ben! It sounds incredible-- pared down and yet so rich.
When you come through NYC again please say hiiiii.
