Kusoor – The Mistake – Play by Amol Palekar
We watched a play titled 'Kusoor'-The Mistake, directed by Actor/Director Amol Palekar.

I have been visiting the Synagogue at Cochin (Kochi now) since childhood. Located on the island of Kochi it has an intriguing old world charm.

Shutterbugs, the Student Photography Club at Ahmedabad University organized a visit and discussion on the Jewish presence in Gujarat where we enjoyed a guided tour and a fascinating conversation on the topic.
