What Interests You? I intend this to be the last lecture I am delivering on projects. But, I may be lying. Let’s see. You may refer to my previous posts here and here and here! And, here! This is a lot of here’s. Anyway, when I did my “Seven Cities” project with the Photography Society…
A Good Project Plan I wrote about how I am screwed, and I also wrote about projects and the importance of making a good project plan. A good project plan is a guide and helps you understand what steps you must take to achieve the result you want. It also helps you identify the steps…
Plan The Project! I am screwed. Yes. I am quite screwed. Several years back, I had done a project I called “The Seven Cities of Delhi”. Looking back, I remember I didn’t plan the project properly, so I was far over the time limit and the ultimate execution was sub-optimal. All this, I know, does…
Planning is Essential We are now into the first week of 2022, and the time is ripe for making new plans, never mind that Delta, Omicron and possibly, IHU are wrecking all attempts at planning. Planning is essential and can be fun occasionally. After all, it’s fun to look back and see how many of…
There is always hope The year is turning, and I believe there is always hope. There is always hope for a better future; for humanity; for the planet and, for our souls. Over the last year, we’ve lost loved ones and have gone through our own bit of turmoil. I cannot speak for countries outside…

It’s been a tough period and with the coming wave of Omicron, it may just become tougher….
Hustle.Bustle. Hustle.Bustle. These are two words that can describe the early morning activity in Bangkok. Before I get ahead of myself, I’d like to point out that I have never been one for video. I have always believed in a strict focus on straight photography. But then, what the hell, as they say. Also, I…
About Stories. A Moment of Cogitation. Photography, Life, Chai. Some of you may remember that I had started a series of posts under the heading–“My Camera & My Chai”. It never went away, but it has been hibernating for a while. The reason I have chosen this tagline is that I believe that photography is…
Your Purpose in Life Some time back, I sat down to work on a writing prompt, named, “Why Have You Forgotten Me?” Initially, I thought of doing something witty, clever, and charming. Then, I suddenly changed direction and addressed the piece to the corporate world. While writing, I realized it is critical that we possess…
Street Photography, Scenes. Mental Health Issues A week ago, I wrote a post on “The Painted Men”, and in that post, I wrote about inequality and how it is rising in the world. But street photography gives you opportunities to take images you can interpret and re-interpret over the years. I shot this Painted Man…
