Giampaolo Tomassetti spent 12 years inside the Mahabharata and painted it like he lived it. The book is called Mahabharata: Indian Art Series.
I keep it on my coffee table. Every time I flip through it, I’m reminded what happens when someone gives a decade of their life to a single idea.
I will be presenting my Ph.D. research at the "Contested Bodies and Emerging Selves: Rethinking Anthropology in an Age of Identity Revolutions" DIALOGO conference on the 23rd of May at 20:15 UTC.

i turned 25 in the Himālayas, on the resplendent Khaliya trek, and camped in a remote meadow that can only be described as the land of the apasāras. hiking, i reflected on 24, which was the year of fierce grace. motto for 25: whatever it takes❤️🔥
