It’s easy to pin-point, criticize and laugh at contradictions in a culture one is only visiting. In my own culture, rather than amusing, I find our contradictions intractable, collectively suicidal, and worse, woven into my spiritual being.

Live from Hyderabad, Jeff Dorchen wanders the city, encountering ancient boulders, 10-year old Cool Hand Lukes, Ghandi’s promise, threats of mutilation, typos, schemes, deep history and a single, public toilet.
