Weatherman.

About the Title:

Living in northern India, I often shuffle between two contrasting landscapes – one, Delhi, enveloped in layers of smog that poses a real threat to human health, and the other, further north, lower himalays where the air is crisp but climate change is silently wreaking havoc. whether it is smog or lack of timely rain and snow, all part of the same climate change book that we don't talk about enough.

The reality is right in front of us, but it remains invisible as our pocket-sized weatherman keeps us hooked up with the little radars and projected 14 day emoji forecasts. When it will get colder or when will it snow. Rarely do we question the fluctuations, consequences, and overall impact.

  "In Asian cultures, an emoji face in dark clouds would show that someone is sad and having a bad day. A face on a beach with the sun glaring means they are happy. In the United States, the emotion on the face tells the story, not the surroundings. Also, “stars for eyes could mean something completely different in Asia than using dots for eyes.”
