a scene from where you live

a dancer visits the workshop of a silversmith to get a septum piercing, a dog and a parrot talk, seepage from a drain pipe grows wild flora on brick walls, two different jatis [species or caste] interact. 

only 50 years ago, such a scene took place on this exact place, but today, nobody knows. 

Culture has preserved the figure of the dancer and the ornaments made by the artisan, as categorically segregated musuem artefacts; but the scene which produces this culture is missing from archival memory, public or private, possibly because as an inter-caste-action, this must never be recognised.  

This is an unspoken law, from the streets to the museums.
