Desmond Tutu - डेसमोंड टूटू
जेनेवा, स्विटज़रलैंडः दक्षिण अफ्रीका के नोबल शाँती पुरस्कार विजेता आरचबिशप डेसमोंड टूटू के लेख पढ़े थे, दो दिन पहले जेनेवा में विश्व स्वास्थ्य संघ की वार्षिक सभा में उन्हें सुनने का मौका मिला. हँसते हँसाते हुए कड़वे सच कहने का उनका तरीका बहुत सुंदर लगा. तस्वीरों में उनके अलावा जोरडन के राजा अबदुल्ला की माँ राजकुमारी मुना, गयाना के स्वास्थ्य मंत्री लेज़ली रामासामी और विश्व स्वास्थ्य संघ की डायरेक्टर डा. मारगेरट छान भी हैं.
Geneva, Switzerland: I had read the writings of archbishop Desmond Tutu of south Africa, winner of Nobel Peace prize. Two days ago I had the opportunity to listen to him at the annual assembly of World Health Organisation (WHO). He has a wonderful way of speaking about harsh realities of the times, making you laugh at the same time. In the pictures besides him ,there are princess Muna, mother of King Abdullah of Jordan, Dr Leslie Ramasammy health minister of Guyana and Dr Margaret Chan, DG WHO.
Ginevra, Svizzera: Avevo letto alcuni scritti di Desmond Tutu, arcivescovo emerito di Città del Capo (Sud Africa) e vincitore del premio nobel per la pace. Due gironi fa ho avuto l'opportunità di ascoltarlo all'assemblea annuale dell'organizzazione mondiale della salute (OMS). Ha un modo meraviglioso di parlare, che ti fa ridere mentre racconta i fatti più tremendi del nostro tempo. Nelle foto si possono vedere anche la principessa Muna, madre di re Abdullah della Giordania, dott. Leslie Ramasammy ministero della salute della Guyana e dott.sa Margaret Chan, direttore generale dell'OMS.

Capoeira from Brazil - Capoeira dal Brasile - ब्राजील का कापोऐरा
बाहिया, ब्राज़ीलः कापोऐरा ब्राज़ील के अफ्रीकी मूल के युवकों का पाराम्परिक युद्ध नृत्य है जिसे कहते हैं कि अफ्रीका से आये अफ्रीकी गुलामों ने अपनी रक्षा के लिए बनाया. एकतारा, डफली और ड्रम के संगीत के साथ जब सफेद पैंट और नंगे धड़ वाले युवक इस कला को दिखाते हैं तो डर से मेरा दिल दहल जाता है, लगता है कि थोड़ी से गलती से किसी की जान जा सकती है या फ़िर उम्र के लिए विकलांग हो सकता है. इसी नृ्त्य से प्रेरित लगता है अमरीकी ब्रेकडाँस. सड़क पर गरीब लड़कों को यह नृत्य करते देखने का आनंद कुछ और ही है.
Bahia, Brazil: Capoeira is the martial arts dance of the blacks and mixed groups in Brazil. It is said that it was invented by african slaves to defend themselves. Usually accompanied by a one string instrument and drum, watching bare torsoed young men do it is both exhilerating and fearsome. I always feel afraid that someone might hurt himself seriously. The American breakdance seems inspired from Capoeira and it is completely different watching a stage performance from the dance done on the streets in Brazil.

Bahia, Brazil: Capoeira è la danza marziale dei neri brasiliani. Si dice che fu inventato dagli schiavi portati dall'Africa per difendersi. La danza, normalmente accompagnato da uno strumento musicale con una corda sola e da tamburi, mi eccita e allo stesso momento, mi fa paura che qualcuno si farà del male sul serio. La "breakdance" americana sembra ispirata da Capoeira. Vedere questa danza su un palcoscenico è molto diverso da vederlo sulla strada in Brasile.

Brazilian Orisha - Oriscia dal Brasile - ब्राज़ील के ओरिशा
बाहिया, ब्राज़ीलः अठारहवीं शताब्दी में, अमरीका महाद्वीप में मध्य अफ्रीका से लाये गये योरूबा जनजाति के गुलाम अपने साथ अपने देवी देवता और अपनी धार्मिक मान्यताएँ भी साथ ले कर आये. यह धार्मिक मान्यताएँ आज भी ब्राज़ील, क्यूबा, हाईती जैसे देशों में कन्दोम्बले, सानतेरिया, वूदुन जैसे नामों से जीवित हैं. ब्राज़ील में इन देवी देवताओं को ओरिशा कहते हैं. आज की तस्वीरों में ब्राज़ील से एक ओरिशा नृत्य.
Bahia, Brazil: In the eighteenth century Yoruban slaves from central Africa brought to the Americas, came with their gods and goddesses. These religions and their gods are still alive in countries like Brazil, Cuba and Haiti under different names such as Candomble, Santeria and Voodun. In Brazil, this is specially visible in Bahia, where these Yoruba gods are called Orisha. An Orisha dance from Brazil in today's pictures.

Queste religioni ed i loro dei sono ancora vivi in diversi paesi delle americhe come Brasile, Cuba e Haiti e sono conosciuti con diversi nomi, tra i quali, Candomble, Santeria e Voodun. In Brasile, i dei Yoruba si chiamano Orisciaa. Le foto di oggi presentano una danza Oriscia dal Brasile.
