After a while the total sensory overload that is India seems to short-circuit the photographic imagination. The visual intensity of the first couple of days has become stale and weary. I find myself taking the same pictures over and over again. Everything is becoming oppressively familiar, even dull. So I am reduced to merely making a record of what interests me - again in contradiction to my avowed aim of seeing things from a fresh perspective. For years I have wanted to see the Bharut stupa - or whats left of it in the Indian Museum in Kolkata. I was not disappointed. Likewise an afternoon spent in the (formerly Royal) Asiatic Society: to see where Sir William Jones worked, and the room in which Alexander Csoma de Körös sat on the floor poring over Tibetan texts - preserved today as he left it nearly two hundred years ago.
