Bewitching Puthia – 普提亚

by

There is a scene in the 1968 movie adaptation of “Around the World in Eighty Days” that is seared in my childhood memory. It is the scene set in colonial India, where Phileas Fogg (David Niven) and their elephant-borne party help the young widow, Aouda (Shirley MacLaine) escape a ritual act of suttee. Terrified as I was in that movie-moment, contemplating the immolation of the widow on her husband’s funeral pyre, I also distinctively recall the intense…

by

Here, Hindu’s most sacred river has always been known as the Padma – Sanskrit for “lotus flower.” At the city of Rajshahi, the Padma also defines the north-west border of Bangladesh, and we were in town to visit friends.
I had this idea that I wanted to dip my feet in the Padma, but had imagined taking …
