Miami to Mysore

A (Canadian) Miamian's sojourn to Mysore, India

Devaraja Market Square

Devaraja Market Square

Taken by Global Health Scholar Post- Doc Sharali Pandya, this is a panoramic photo of Devaraja Market Square. It is the famous market of Mysore where you can get everything- incense, fruits, jewelry, spices, fabrics. It looks deceivingly quiet and calm in the photo. It is the one area of the city I found the most chaotic- but in a fun way! Traffic whizzing by, crowds, whistles, non- stop honking. This was the India you see in the movies.

This is South Beach, looking north from about 8th street along the ocean. My condo is about 7 blocks away- missing it already!

India's Abused Goddess Campaign

India's Abused Goddess Campaign

Through the use of classic Hindu art and models, this ad campaign tackles the problem of domestic violence and sex trafficking to benefit Save Our Sisters, an initiative of Save the Children India which seeks to prevent sexual exploitation. It caught my attention and spurred me to think about the ways in which my work on culture and sexuality is connected to larger global health issues. Funny- no one I have met in Mysore had seen the campaign before!
