A Kashmiri family on their way to Kanyakumari.

Nearly a decade ago I took one of the longest train journeys for a photo
assignment.

Travelling from Jammu to Kanyakumari via Himsagar Express.

This image was taken in Day 1

It took nearly four days of continuous journey and more than 3700 kilometers.

Great memories.

Chambal during monsoons.

A few years back I visited this region of Rajasthan along with my good friend Manoj ji. To be honest it is one of the most beautiful part of the state. And also underrated. I was researching for my book and wrote to @hemendrasingh1972 ji who owns the incredible Bhainsrorgarh Fort. Overlooking the Chambal, it's a site to behold. This short video was taken from the rooftop of the fort when the monsoon was in full flow and so was Chambal. Such deep blues. Imagine what it must be like ages ago.

It was an incredible trip and I think Bhainsorgarh and the area itself which is a pleasant drive from Jaipur is a must visit.

I was reminded of my time in Jodhpur and around while looking at work of @franckvogel on Bishnoi Community. We requested Franck to do an article for @everyday.rajasthan talk about his work and time with Bishnois. It's an incredible region with an incredible community living in harmony with wildlife and environment. .

Spent the last few days looking at work of Joan Mi

Spent the last few days looking at work of Joan Miro. Perhaps he ‘s my favourite painter. His work is so striking and you could immediately see it's a Miro(especially the later half). And the colours and form is incredibly rich. There’s a heightened state of awareness (I wonder when that will happen to me) when he works. His love of sky can be seen in pictorial representation of birds.

As a photographer, I want to learn more around symbolism. Most of the street photography these days is gimmicky. There’s less depth and more opportunism. While on the other hand when I look at the work of old photography masters their street photograph it’s deeper. It tells you about the culture, life and is a summary of the times. This understanding of culture is so important and is linked to symbolism. Go deeper and it will only help you make your craft better. .

What an inspiring moment of the master Satyajit Ra

What an inspiring moment of the master Satyajit Ray. The image on the scene was taken by ace photographer Nemai Ghosh during filming of Aranya in 1975.

Kolkata is such a fascinating city. This is like a dream come true. It just needed a Satyajit Ray to showcase its tapestry of life.
Bought this postcard a decade back from Delhi Art Gallery. Wish I was at the sets !! .
