Spiritual Investigative Reporter
- Sirensongs: Indologist At Large
- Somewhere between Kangra, Kashmir and Kumbakonam, India
- Sirensongs moved to India in 2002 to complete her six years' study of the ancient temple dance, Bharatanatyam. Apprenticing with a revered master in Madras, she learned a great deal; however, most of it was not about dance. Disillusionment and childhood memories of "Tintin In Tibet" have led her to adventures as a spiritual investigative reporter throughout India, Nepal and Sri Lanka; as documented on this blogsite, her Flickr photo portfolio and various newsmedia (see sidebar). She holds a certificate in Spoken Sanskrit from Rashtriya Samskrta Samsthan (deemed university, New Delhi) and is a lifetime member of ABHAI (Assoc. of Bharatanatyam Artists of India). Sirensongs is inordinately proud of her ability to read street signs and argue (successfully) with taxi drivers in Malayalam, Hindi, French and Nepali languages. Her Tibetan, however, is still a total disgrace. She's working on it. Quote: "Why do people go to India to find themselves? India is where you go to LOSE yourself."

Fantastic pics. I visited your trekshare too.
You been there as recent as October?
anyway good pics. But some of them could use a little more exposure and in one fine pic, the passing electric wires ruined the whole drama of it.
Great pix. I felt so nostalgic specially re the peacock. So quintessentially Indian on this blustery snowy day in Toronto!
