“Self portraits” aka “The end of an era”

By Ananda Mahto | Published: March 29, 2008

It’s the end of an era, I guess. My trademark is no more. I’m serious. It’s gone. My built-in cat-toy… my man-leash…—whatever you want to call that strange braided patch of long hair that I have had for what? Fifteen years?—met its fate with a pair of scissors on Sunday, March 23, 2008. Seeing that [...]

Slow news month….

By Ananda Mahto | Published: September 28, 2006

Man, where has September gone? I don’t quite know what happened this month, but it certainly flew by. Well, a lot has actually happened. For starters, I turned 28 towards the beginning of the month—and Amy and I got to celebrate our four-year wedding-proposal anniversary. My website design for the Centre for Micro Finance where [...]

By Ananda Mahto | Published: August 30, 2006

Amy went to Madhya Pradesh and one of her co-workers took a video of an MFI group meeting. The video itself was pretty unusable because of an extremely unsteady hand. But, the song this group sings to start off their meeting was pretty cool, so I thought I’d use it in the background of a [...]

Art! Look at all the pretty colors….

By Ananda Mahto | Published: August 10, 2006

Madurai

By Ananda Mahto | Published: June 18, 2006

Just one of the many temple shots you can find in the Madurai photo gallery Last weekend, Amy and I accompanied the CMF interns to Madurai. We got a chance to visit a microfinance institution (MFI) and a non-gonvernmental organization (NGO) that works with self-help groups (SHG). How’s that for a slew of acronyms? Madurai [...]

Ooty…. Ooh! Tea!

By Ananda Mahto | Published: March 20, 2006

In February, a bunch of the research associates from the Centre for Micro Finance Research piled into trains to slowly make their way to Ooty to behold the scenic lands, get away from the hectic life of research, and generally have something to write about…. This video was made mostly using Picasa’s video option, though [...]

The P James Magic Show

By Ananda Mahto | Published: February 14, 2006

The P. James Magic Show. From the first day I arrived in Chennai, there were a few things which stood out to me. I’ve already mentioned several of them—like the traffic and smells and pollution and so on—but I haven’t mentioned the P. James Magic Show.
