Drawing patterns while the power is on, dancing when it isn't.

I live with my aunt and two younger cousins in a rented house near the polo ground; my freelance design income helps pay for our groceries and my sister's tuition. Sometimes I worry the power cuts will make me miss a client deadline, but I love the evenings when my aunt teaches me traditional embroidery and we can hear the distant drums from the rehearsal halls.

Théâtre de l’image, est-ce que la nouvelle séance du mercredi sur le polo ground m’a fait penser — dans notre petit salon à Manipur, quand le courant coupe, on écoute les dialogues des vieux films hindi sur la radio de l’oncle, et le grain de la voix devient plus net que l’écran. Le film que vous avez projeté sur la ville qui danse me rappelle ces soirs-là, où même une coupure d’électricité ne gâche pas le rythme. Peut-être que le cinéma d’art et d’essai que vous cherchez est plus proche de ce bruit de tambour lointain que des salles climatisées.

Same here with the smart board—our school got one but the voltage stabiliser cost more than the board, so it sits wrapped in plastic. The subsidy queue is always longer for those who can't afford to bribe the clerk.
