DAILY PHOTO: Reflections on Dal Lake
Poem: APC
Armored Personnel Carrier
10 tons of angry seaweed green, a weighty sight when
viewed from Dal Lake in a languidly rocking shikara
the APC’s slits, the narrowed eyes of a suspicious lover
the shikara’s school bus yellow contrasts with the drab compound
that the APC guards
an abandoned hotel, confiscated and re-purposed
makeshift sheet metal walls topped with coils of concertina wire
Beirut, bullets swapped for rocks
a ramshackle guard tower of framing timbers and plywood
is painted green and draped with a camo netting
that serves only to create shadows
&
remind the guards they are still in the Army
camouflage that doesn’t blend with a decrepit block hotel
transformed into a hive of paramilitary activity

DAILY PHOTO: Hindu Temple in Panaji’s Old Quarter
Taken in October of 2016 in Panjim (Panaji)
Hindu temples are ubiquitous throughout India, but in Goa they tend to be overshadowed by massive Christian churches and cathedrals. (Despite the fact that Christians only make up about a quarter of the Goan population while Hindus make up about 2/3rds.) This was one of the more prominent Hindu temples we saw. It’s located in Old Quarter.
