dessalines
statue of jean-jacques dessalines over looking the tent cities which have sprung up post the earthquake
j-j d. was one of the leaders of the only slave rebellion in world history which successfully resulted in establishing an independent nation... which he named haiti. unfortunately, he then went on to massacre the whites on the island, declare himself emperor and enforce a harsh regimen of plantation labour so much so that many blacks felt they were enslaved again. haiti's sad history and its current state of affairs seem to be directly linked to these historical events which took place 200 years ago.

jawans posted at khardung la
at 18380 ft, khardung la is the highest motorable pass in the world. soldiers are posted there for 3 month stretches. boredom probably makes them invite the passing tourists into their sheds. they gave us tea, juice and lots of advice on how to survive at these heights. seen here are ranjit singh from mandsur, madhya pradesh and mukesh chandra from bageda, uttranchal. they said they had had their photographs taken by tourists many times with promises that they would be sent copies but hadn't recieved a single one yet. i have yet to send them these copies as well. day after tomorrow, i promise.
