this aint a very good picture… being taken from within a bus… but i hope one can at least understand what has happened to those rooms depicted in the picture… those are half-rooms… the ‘legal’ half… the rest, ‘illegal’ half, has been destroyed by delhi municipality bulldozers…

what does the powerless do?
recently read joe sacco’s palestine and watched ararat made by atom egoyan… palestine is a work of political journalism using the medium of graphic novel… genre-bending stuff… great work of art… very interesting compositions… what attracts me most probably is the highly self-reflexive manner of narrating… as joe moves through the locales tis always in his mind that he is gonna draw ths thing, so always thinking about how to get an interesting angle – in reporting as well as visually… tht makes him to stand in a certain place when a strife breaks out between israeli soldiers and palestinians… joe clearly suffers from what probably every conflict-zone journalist suffer from – the naturalisation of violence…
