  • At the crack of dawn, workers are seen plucking tea by hand. The plucking workers are mostly ladies, as they are known to be more accurate and precise when plucking high-grade tea. High-grade tea is plucked at a certain length with only two or three of the youngest leaves and it is kept undamaged.

  • After plucking, the leaves are withered in a hall in the orthodox way by exposing freshly plucked leaves to an air stream, which eliminates the excess moisture inherent in the leaf. Seventy percent of the moisture is removed here. After fourteen hours of withering, the fermented leaves are then fed into a rolling machine.
    SLee20090312-Darjeeling-Makaibari-05...JPG
  • Rolling imparts leaf style and catalyses fermentation. Great care is given in rolling the leaves so as to ensure high percentages of the leaf grade, and not to damage the delicate leaves. Whole leaf teas fetch the higher prices as opposed to broken leaf teas, which are normally used in tea bags.

  • From the drier, the tea is moved into a room where ladies, again selected for their meticulous nature, sit on the floor, sorting through the leaves by hand. They discard stray stems and twigs, and hand pick the undamaged leaves to be packed as the Muscatel Second Flush as the broken leaves are put aside for tea-bagging.

  • Rajah Swaraj Banerjee tastes each batch of tea produced in Makaibari. Tea tasting is strikingly similar to what one would imagine of a teetotaler's wine tasting. Rajah and his experts taste every batch of tea as a quality control measure. Just by tasting the finished tea, which must be correctly brewed, connoisseurs can tell exactly where the error occurred in the processing stages of a faulty tea.<br />
Flavors of different types of tea are influenced by time and style of picking as well as method of processing.

  • Hunting hobbyists are seen hunting wild boar with professional hunter Ah Kwi and his seven hunting dogs in Bukit Cerul, Kemaman, Terengganu, Malaysia. Boar hunting is encouraged by the authorities to keep the hyper-abundance of these native wild pigs in check..Wild boars are also hunted both for their meat and to mitigate any damage they may cause to crops and forests. A charging boar is considered exceptionally dangerous quarry, due to its thick hide and dense bones, making anything less than a kill shot a potentially deadly mistake.

  • Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), India, February 2009 : Mayawati, U.P.'s Chief Minister for the 4th time in a row, is an icon for millions of India's Dalits, or "Untouchables" who provide an important base for her after centuries of oppression by the Hindu upper castes. But more than that, she is known nation wide as an extremely corrupt, extortionist, untrustworthy, politician who governs with an iron fist and strikes fear in all under her rule. Seen here are massive construction works ordered by Mayawati, but what they are building are hundreds of statues of herself (some even with a clearly marked Versace handbag) and her mentor besides a few other Dalit leaders. There are hundreds of these structures under construction in U.P., which could end up costing $250 million dollars of public money.

  • Shuki (second from right) demonstrates the techniques for a 'flying elbow' to Eran (right) while Ilya (left) train with punching bags in Rompo Muay Thai Gym, Khlong Toei, Bangkok city, Thailand on 14th December 2009..Shuki Rosenzweig, aged 40, is a professional Muay Thai Boxing fighter (champion) and trainer who has lived for 9 years in Thailand. He is famous in Israel as the authority of this sport. Started at the age of 12 in boxing in Israel, Jerusalem. Used to work in the fish market. His father is a 'legend' in Jerusalem fish market. Shuki stopped working with his dad about 13 years ago. He has opened some muay thai gyms in Thailand in the past. He currently has about 5 Israeli fighters under his training in Bangkok, besides fighters of other nationalities. Shuki found religion in Bangkok with Chabad about 4 years ago. He never misses Shabbat and loves to sing the songs of prayer, priding himself with a good voice. "Chabad integrates all Jews. it keeps us together. When at Chabad, we are at home, united with people of the same culture, language and beliefs"..Eran Schwartz, aged 30, from Jerusalem, has been training for 8 years. He trains for endurance, fitness and fun, although he has fought in one competition in Bangkok the last time he was here. "Eran is very talented, technically adept, wise and has a 'good eye' for fights" says Shuki. This time Eran is staying 3 and a half months in Thailand to train, travel, and write scripts for a TV show and a cartoon series. He had studied economics and used to work in a bank in Israel before he came here. Eran's grandparents are religious but he grew up being secular. "Chabad never pushes you to be religious. It is a relaxed place, they accept you for what you are" says Eran. "It is important to go for Shabbat for all Jews on travel.".Ilya Bashes, aged 27, from Herzeliya, Israel, has been fighting seriously for 5 years. He met Shuki in a muay thai seminar in Israel and decided immediately that he would come to Thailand

  • Tiger attack survivor Tarubala Mandol, 30, stands for a portrait at her home on Gosaba island, Sundarban, West Bengal, India, on 18th January, 2012. 1.5 years ago, she was pounced on by a waiting tiger outside her home. She survived as the tiger was chased away and tranquilized when it hid in the forest goddess Bono Debi/Bono Bibi temple nearby. Tigers have been known to swim, sometimes underwater, to the village to hunt humans. A successful Royal Bengal tiger breeding program has increased their numbers but decreased the number of husbands. There are now an estimated 3,000 widows in the villages where their husbands, have been killed by tigers. Photo by Suzanne Lee for The National (online byline: Photo by Szu for The National)

After Cyclone Aila struck the Sundarbans in 2009, locals still struggle with logged salt water that renders fertile farming land almost unusable. Due to this loss of livelihood, many have had to turn to fishing or wild honey gathering in the forest reserve, exposing themselves to becoming prey for the sanctuary's booming tiger population.

  • Men gather to buy and sell cattle at the weekly cattle market that happens in Birohi, a town close to the India-Bangladesh Border, in Nadia district, West Bengal, India, on 19th January, 2012. The larger cows, priced at almost INR 10,000 (USD 190) each are often smuggled across the porous borders by wading across the rivers to be sold at a profit in Bangladesh. Recently, a torture video of a captured cattle smuggler surfaced on the internet, provoking outrage at the high-handedness of the Indian Border Security Force.
