IAHM Presents Cricket Mela, part of their “Beyond Bollywood” series.
I’ll be here on Sunday – will you?
Cricket Mela, is a program of the exhibition Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation on view in the Field Museum’s Marai Gallery. There is also a component about the local Indian American community.
I recently came across this sweet ad about a mother/son reuniting after years apart. It brings up feelings on the immigrant experience that I’ve heard echoed from my parents while I was growing up. The son describes his love for his native city of Mumbai or Bombay, which is also one of my favorite cities on earth. You can almost smell the delicious food the mother painstakingly makes for her son which she believes will be sent to him, courtesy of British Airways. I’m a sucker for emotional commercials featuring real people and this one even incorporates my other passion, the Indian diaspora! Enjoy.
