darshan

"(...)I used to work for newspapers – ­until I realised that daily stories died a daily death. I felt an image must stay alive, live for itself, be ­timeless. Stuff in papers doesn't last. We have a ­beautiful word in Hindi, ­darshan, that sums this up. Literally, it means "seeing", but it's more ­seeing in totality, ­seeing the ­connections ­between things."
