• About the Photo: Well, title gives it away...these snake charmers were in Delhi lobbying protesting against the government's decision to ban taming snakes for their profession i.e., snake charming. When we were at the conference in Delhi, they came to the conference centre every evening to perform (as well as protest I guess), as they were there playing their instruments, not to the snakes but to us - the conference delegates! Anyway, they were a great bunch... altogether 100 of them and they had a young guy as a leader as well, who was like a conductor in an orchestra, instructing them what to play and when to play. And even though they weren't rehearsing or anything, after a few minutes of playing, all 100 of them would play in unison as if they have been performing together for ages...that sounded fantastic. Charmed most of the conference delegates, I'm sure!!
