It was also the moment I met Rajib Kutum. He was standing still in a field of green to my left while driving along a dirt road on the last day of two months traveling across north India. In his stillness was a gusher of water that looked so peculiar it seemed entirely reasonable. Asking if I could take his portrait, he said, “please do,” and briefly told me he was removing water from his fish pond before monsoon season arrived. For what seemed eternity lost as a child in the pure beauty Rajib wasn’t aware he was creating, it became the closing chapter to all the pieces of a story on water, an island affected by climate change and development abuse of rivers, like the Brahmaputra encircling this world’s largest river island that would cover much of Majuli a few weeks after I had gone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ India’s Daunting Challenge: There’s Water Everywhere, And Nowhere - Chapter 8 of the @outofedenwalk, my latest story in the August 2020 issue of @natgeo magazine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #india #assam #brahmaputra #water #bicycle #video @natgeo @outofedenwalk #walkingindia #edenwalk」8月21日 12時07分
