I just happened to be at the right place at the right time with the right kind of friends who were willing to encourage and support me and my work. However, I wish to share with you a bit of background and my involvement in the process. I've never had an occupation even though I did a stint of journalism, advertising and print production work. Mostly, I've done whatever was available and whatever interested me or fired my imagination or passion. I don't have one.
Life is a preoccupation.
Incidentally, the project is now part of Jharkhand , the newly formed tribal state and is no longer part of Bihar. It didn't take me long to realize my own stupidity and arrogance . I had a lot to learn about the tribal way of life, which is in harmony with nature. Above all, I learnt the humbling lesson that change comes from the community and not from any one individual or a group. It comes at its own pace.
