ahmedabad/pudding bowl/yarn

many years ago in the city of junagadh, I joined a shia festival.
standing on the sidelines and watching the procession,
I ate the most delicious pudding while they administered lashes on themselves.
the scenery included a locally famous mosque or shrine
with supposedly shaking minarets, strangely deserted
and straight out of an episode of the addams family.
this bowl was purchased by a social worker and philantropist.
she is currently building a community center in a village near
ahmedabad and I promised to teach a pottery class there
once it is in operation
