Mohalla in Hindi and Urdu means neighbourhood. Sarai’s Cybermohalla project takes on the meaning of the word mohalla, its sense of alleys and corners, its sense of relatedness and concreteness, as a means for talking about one’s ‘place’ in the city, and in cyberspace. Cybermohalla (May 2001-) is a collaborative project with Ankur: Society for Alternatives in Education.
* of note… cybermohalla’s game of No-Logs:
When we speak, how do we make sense of the listener? The game of no-log is played when the listener keeps saying “I didn’t understand”. Without losing patience, a practitioner of no-logs keeps developing the argument or the story that s/he started to share. The practitioner has to go on and discover feelings, impressions, imageries, stories, anecdotes, examples, to make it increasingly difficult for the listener to say “I didn’t…”.
