Belguam Photos Posted
Back in September when I learned that I was going to go to some place in India called Dharwad, it was rare to find anyone who had heard of the place, much have been there. Finally, at my last nineteen day feast in Ottawa a friend’s parents not only knew the place but had visited many times.
They were studying in a city called Belguam just next to Dharwad in the early eighties, all illustrated on the map of India the parent immediatly drew for me on a napkin, complete with a little hole ripped out of it for Sri Lanka.
I visited the Baha’i community of Belguam using that Ottawa family’s good name and it eventually became a second home and a place to charge my Bahá’ítteries. I have just posted a set of photos from the green city of Belguam including some from last weekend’s Holi revelry.

So remember how I said you could be my producer for all future radio doc projects? If I stick to print and go traveling the world writing long features, I want you to be my photographer, too. Cool? Cool.
