Sometime ago, I gave myself 10 days to put right the mess in my life. Mess? Well, a little bit of this and that which makes me cringe inside and makes me want to scream. I’m an idealist and a yearning perfectionist. I love the rose tinted things in life. I believe everything is nice, everyone... Continue Reading →
Mazgoan. Mumbai.
There's a charm to it. A craziness that I hope is not found elsewhere in the world. A momentum that is independent of external forces.  A sense of direction. A purpose. With various facets of life co-existing side by side. An air that lends itself a lingering a mark of all that has been. And pictures that narrate... Continue Reading →
