Synopsis
“Did we take more than our due?” Weaving his tale around a Gond fable about water, artist Subash Vyam muses on the history of our relationship to this most primeval of elements. A migrant to the city, he recalls growing up in a village where water was always scarce and human ingenuity was welcomed. In contrast to the village, the needs of the city are monstrous and there is a great danger that we will run this resource completely dry. In the end, there is only one way forward: all communities need to make a pact with Nature in order to survive ― or in our mindless push to harness her powers, we might lose our own place in this universe.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
I live in a city now, but I come from a small village. I’m an artist, and like many people in my community, I had to move in search of work. My parents and sisters still live in the village, and I visit them often. Ever since I moved, I have been thinking about our life in the village and life here in the city... there is a lot to be said, and I am very troubled sometimes about many things, but I didn’t know where or how to begin. Then some time ago, there was a incident in our village which gave me an idea. So I decided to tell a story around it: it is about WATER.
