HAVELI. JALANDHAR, PUNJAB. 2019
At the Haveli, roughly six miles east of Jalandhar in Punjab. On this photo, I am seen engaging in conversation with an inspiring local while attempting, under her instructions, to break vermicelli - a key step in the making of the traditional seviyan porridge, which is a fixture in the Punjabi diet. This photo was taken by one of the partners on the expedition, which comes on the heels of my inauguration of a book club under the auspices of FICCI Ladies Organization, a division of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, in Ludhiana, Punjab.
