The photographs of the Chin people in this book fill the eye with these dilemmas. As ethnic minorities from Myanmar living in exile in the Indian capital, most of the men, women and children you see in these images have refugee status accorded to them by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and live in unspeakable hardship. But even without any knowledge of their precise circumstances, you can see them suffering from various maladies of the body and mind, perhaps from memories of the home they have been forced to leave behind. Captured in natural light, these images seem to exude a yellow gloom, conveying the jaundiced mood of the setting. There are pockets of darkness in these photographs, as though a metaphor for their lives. The handful of families represented in this project embody the traumas and tragedies that define the lives of a majority of the Chin community in India.

Prabha’s recipes in her new cookbook are simple, elegant and quick, making any meal complete and delicious. With her years of experience and observation, she found that there were no books easily available that suggested complete menus, and so decided to create a collation of her own to fill the culinary gap. She presents a set of meals that she has not only been making at home, but shared through her catering business and taught in her classes online and in person.
