India as it is presentation

INDIA AS IT ISThe impression of past has traded a long & dusky

way, leaving sights & experiences to experience, for time captured and missed in India are mystic

Varanasi – Gangarti – 2002

I have been there through my view finder, it was long & spiritual.

…multiplex – apartments – low floor buses – IT boom – urban infrastructure - - nothing can buy the heart of Bengal… dusty roads, boundless horizon, sun shine & dampness, and that strange smell, we have lost it long; to the metro ways… …

“There was neither goodNor bad there.There were just facts,It was life.”

- Of Human Bondage

Portraits, events, street life, object noticed or left alone, we have enjoyed the vagabond ways together. We were there to shoot – me and sir (Bhaskar Mukherjee)

Calcutta & her pale afternoons- 2002

Manikarnika Temple – Varanasi – 2003 . Under the moon light

Once he thought of paying off his mother’s debt

His ego erected this temple

For the impossible he said, the temple never stood straight

Night fly byCalcutta in Black & White Motion-blurIt’s the same old city seeking isolation after the day long work – let’s call it a night

Since the days of British India, and its capital, this city has had many heritages.We hope there will be restoration & development of these work-of-art, dynamic or static

Warm regardsKolikata Calcutta Kolkata

Once, in New Delhi, while

spending a lazy day in

the heights of Medieval

India, I found one stairway

to heaven.

At that time, I didn’t have a

wide angle lens. Hence, I couldn’t have the Colossal

holiness.St. Paul’s Cathedral

Church of North India

Political road show is the nerve of Kolkata. ‘nothing official about it’

Sun shine on the water makes me blind…

Divided we fall

Looking for insideout

Impossible separation

OrchhaThe Relaxing Isolation … … …

This country has many such towers, fascinating facts; arched under the volumes of her history. India is around us. Dig it or dump it, choice is ours.

Doors of perception, places we haven't been to; waiting to share their stories, only if we

explore the lights of the darkness, lend our ears to the whispering of their loneliness.

It is time; to recapitulate the lessons of antiquity in the confusing present of our being, for there was light & bold vision, of where we should be…

The pillars of our civilization are engraved with culture. If we want to look us good… embrace it…

Tell them that you came hereAnd I have looked into your eyes.Cold as a bold tycoonWith desperation of longing hours.Sparkling very controlledFor that dreams she adores.Matured, wisdom of its own.And, when that she was betrayed?By the kiss of freedom… madre!

History will you mention usIn your faded scroll?...For hardship & afflictionWe do not seek rewardsNor do we want our picturesIn the calendar of years…Just tell our story simplyTo those shall not see,Tell those who will replace us-We fought courageously.
