Art, Beijing airport, China - Images by Sunil Deepak

Today air travel has become common. Often people have to spend hours in the airports. If airports are beautiful places, they are not just a way to reach the destination, but become part of the journey's enjoyment. Today's images have art exhibitions from three Asian airports - from Bangkok, Delhi and Beijing.

आजकल हवाई जहाज़ से यात्रा करना आम बात हो गयी है और अक्सर लोग हवाई अड्डों पर घँटों बिताते हैं. अगर हवाई अड्डा सुन्दर जगह हो तो वह यात्रा का माध्यम ही नहीं, यात्रा के आनन्द का हिस्सा बन जाता है. आज की तस्वीरों में एशिया के तीन देशों से हवाई अड्डों में प्रदर्शित कला - बैन्काक, दिल्ली तथा बेजिन्ग से.

Oggi giorno tutti viaggiano con l'aereo. Spesso le persone sono costrette a passare delle ore negli aeroporti. Se gli aeroporti sono dei luoghi belli e piacevoli, non sono soltanto dei mezzi per arrivare alla destinazione, ma diventano parte della gioia del viaggio. Le immagini di oggi hanno mostre d'arte da tre aeroporti asiatici - da Bangkok, Delhi e Beijing.

Milano, Italia: Il padiglione nazionale cinese al Expo 2015 è bello. Fuori ha un campo di fiori gialli. Dentro è stato addobbato con gli ombrelli tradizionali di legno. E poi ha un mare di luci LED, che se guardi da una certa distanza, presentano le scene della vita cinese. Le immagini di oggi hanno alcuni primi piani dei loro ombrelli e le luci.

Kunming, Yunnan, China: In the fair, I told my guide that all that red colour was giving me a headache. He answered, yes the red colour is for young people, old people don't like it.

कुन्मिंग, युन्नान, चीनः  मेले में मैंने गाइड से कहा कि हर ओर लाल रंग देख कर मेरा सिर दुखने लगा है. वह बोला, हाँ लाल रंग तो जवानो के लिए है, बूढ़ों को नहीं भाता!

Kunming, Yunnan, Cina: Alla fiera, ho detto alla mia guida che tutto quel rosso mi dava un mal di testa. Lui mi ha risposto che si, il rosso è solo per i giovani, non piace ai vecchi.

Kunming, Yunnan, China: Whenever I watch a programme of folkdances, I wonder if somewhere people do those dances in some villages or these are only for tourists?

कुन्मिंग, युनान, चीनः जब भी लोकनर्तकों का कार्यक्रम देखता हूँ तो सोचता हूँ क्या कहीं पर सचमुच के लोग गावों में नाचते होंगे या यह नृत्य केवल पर्यटकों के लिए किये जाते हैं?

Kunming, Yunnan, Cina: Quando assisto ai programmi di danze folkloristiche mi domando se da qualche parte le persone ballano queste danze in qualche villaggio o sono solo per i turisti?

Kunming, China: Only this part of the old city was left where you could see the old Kunming - the old street with its bird market behind the new city centre. They had said that it will also be demolished and made new.

कुन्मिंग, चीनः पुराने शहर का यही एक हिस्सा बचा था जहाँ पहले वाला कुन्मिंग दिखता था - नये शहर के केन्द्र के पीछे की पुरानी सड़क और वहाँ का चिड़िया बाज़ार. कहते थे कि इसे भी तोड़ कर वहाँ नये भवन बनाये जायेंगे.

Kunming, Cina: Soltanto questa parte della vecchia città era rimasta, dove potevi vedere come era Kunming una volta - la vecchia strada con il suo mercato degli uccelli, dietro il nuovo centro della città. Dicevano che anche questa sarà demolita e fatta nuova.

Deity's journey - Viaggio delle divinità - देवताओं की यात्रा

Chinese Buddhist deities, Bangkok, Thailand - images by Sunil Deepak, 2009

Chinese Buddhist deities, Bangkok, Thailand - images by Sunil Deepak, 2009

Bangkok, Thailand: When I saw these statues in a Buddhist temple, I thought about the journeys of cultures accross countries and the way they change. First Buddhism must have spread from north India and Nepal towards Thailand, China and countries of East Asia. Then with time, the Chinese Buddhist traditions influenced the countries of East Asia. Thus, Buddhism in each Asian country shows Indian, Chinese and local influences. Now in India, often you can buy Hindu deities made in China - perhaps with time, India's Hinduism will have Chinese influence?

बैंकाक, थाईलैंडः एक बुद्ध मन्दिर के बाहर इन मूर्तियों को देखा तो सोचा कि सभ्यताएँ कैसे विभिन्न देशों में फ़ैलती व बदलती हैं. पहले बुद्ध धर्म उत्तरी भारत व नेपाल से थाईलैंड, चीन तथा पूर्वी एशिया के देशों की ओर फ़ैला. फ़िर समय के साथ चीनी बुद्ध धर्म से जुड़ी प्रथाओं ने भी पूर्वी एशिया के देशों को प्रभावित किया. इस तरह एशिया के हर देश के बुद्ध धर्म में भारतीय, चीनी व स्थानीय प्रभाव दिखते हैं. आजकल अक्सर भारत में चीन में बनी हिन्दू देवी देवताओं की मूर्तियाँ मिलती हैं - शायद समय के साथ, भारत के हिन्दू धर्म में भी चीनी प्रभाव मिलेगा?

Bangkok, Thailandia: Quando ho visto queste statue in un tempio buddista, ho pensato ai viaggi delle culture attraverso i paesi e il modo in cui questi cambiano. Prima il buddismo si era esteso dal nord dell'India e dal Nepal verso la Thailandia, la Cina e gli altri paesi del est Asiatico. Poi con tempo, le abitudini buddiste cinesi avevano influenzato i paesi dell'est Asiatico. Così il buddismo nei paesi dell'est Asiatico mostra influenze indiane, cinesi e locali. Ora in India, spesso si trovano le divinità indù fatte in Cina - forse con tempo, l'induismo indiano avrà le influenze cinesi?

River bed - Letto del fiume - नदी का बिस्तर

A river between Ulaan Baator and beijing
A river between Ulaan Baator and beijing
A river between Ulaan Baator and beijing

While travelling from Ulaan Baator in Mongolia to Beijing in China, I saw some mountains and a river flowing next to them that gave an idea of the space needed by the river when its waters increase. A part of the river was flowing on the other side of the mountains. When I read about Uttarakhand, it seems that for promoting "progress", they have built along the river, closing it from the sides, so that the space for expansion is not enough.

मँगोलिया की राजधानी उलान बातोर से चीन में बेजिन्ग की हवाई यात्रा में कुछ पहाड़ और उनके पास बहती नदी दिखी जिससे अन्दाज़ा होता था कि जब नदी में पानी बढ़ता है तो फ़ैल कर कितना बढ़ जाता होगा. नदी की एक छोटी धारा, पहाड़ों की दूसरी ओर भी बह रही थी. उत्तराखँड के बारे में पढ़ो तो लगता है कि वहाँ "विकास" की सोच में नदी के इस बिस्तर को घरों और होटलों के घेरे में बाँध दिया गया है जिससे नदी के पास जगह कम हो गयी है.

Mentre viaggiavo da Ulaan baator in Mongolia a Beijing in Cina, ho visto alcune montagne e un fiume che scorreva vicino, e dava un'idea dell'enorme spazio necessario per il fiume quando le sue acque aumentano. Un ramo del fiume scorreva dall'altra parte della montagna. Quando leggo sulla situazione nello stato di Uttarakhand in India, sembra che per promuovere lo "sviluppo", hanno costruito lungo gli argini del fiume, lasciando poco spazio per l'espansione del fiume.

Mannequins from shops of Asian clothes from Thailand, China and USA. Do you think that mannequins are also sculptures and thus should be seen as art?

एशियाई वस्त्रों की दुकानों की पुतलियाँ थाईलैंड, चीन तथा अमरीका से. क्या आप के विचार में यह पुतलियाँ भी मूर्तियाँ यानि शिल्पकला होती हैं?

Manichini dai negozi di vestiti asiatici da Thailandia, Cina e Stati Uniti. Secondo voi, anche i manichini sono delle sculture e perciò, parte dell'arte?

China town, New York, USA -S. Deepak, 2012

New York, USA: When I had heard about China Town, I had thought of Hong Kong like narrow streets and crowded Chinese shops. But when I went there, I found that parts of it are like the new China, with wide streets and high rise buildings.

न्यूयोर्क, अमरीकाः जब चाइना टाउन के बारे में सुनता तो मन में हाँगकाँग जैसी छोटी गलियों में भीड़ भाड़ वाली चीनी दुकानों की छवि उभरती, पर जब वहाँ गया तो पाया कि उसका एक हिस्सा नये चीन की तरह खुली सड़कों और ऊँचे भवनो वाला है.

Nuova Rork, Stati Uniti: Quando sentivo parlare della China Town, pensavo alle strette viuzze e i mercati affollati di Hong Kong. Invece quando l'ho visitato, ho trovato che alcune parti erano come la nuova Cina, con strade larghe e i grattacieli.

Street shops, Dali, China - S. Deepak, 2007

Street shops, Dali, China - S. Deepak, 2007

Dali, Yunnan, China: During journeys, I like taking pictures of shops where I buy something. It makes me feel that along with the thing I have bought, I have also got a little bit of its history with me. Today's images have street sellers from south-western part of China. The bedcover the woman in the middle picture is showing, I had bought it and it is in our home.

दली, युन्नान, चीनः यात्रा के दौरान जहाँ से कोई चीज़ खरीदी हो, मुझे उस दुकान की तस्वीर लेने का शौक है, लगता है कि जो चीज़ खरीदी उसके साथ उसका छोटा सा इतिहास भी साथ ले आया. आज की तस्वीरों में चीन के दक्षिण पश्चिमी भाग की एक यात्रा से पटरी पर सामान बेचने वाले लोग. बीच वाली तस्वीर में युवती जो नीली चद्दर दिखा रही है, वही हमारे घर में बिछी है.

Dali, Yunnan, Cina: Durante i viaggi, mi piace fotografare i negozi dove compro qualcosa. Così mi sembra di aver preso anche una piccola parte della storia del oggetto comprato. Le immagini di oggi hanno venditori ambulanti da un viaggio nel sud ovest della Cina. Il copriletto che mostra la signora nell'immagine di mezzo, l'avevo comprato ed è nella nostra casa.
