I am so excited about this! About a month ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to watch Aradhna Live in Concert here in Bangalore. I also documented the event photographically which was beyond cool because I love Aradhna and to be able to serve them in that way was an honour. And then, they asked if they could use my images on the cover of their Live Album! Of course I said yes! And get this, there’s a Vinyl LP of the album and this is what the cover looks like, with images taken by yours truly!

On 15th May, 2012, my friends, Sharan, Anu and I had a mid-week 36Pictures edition. We headed to a Dhobi Ghat around Frazer Town and docu

mented our journey along the way. I submitted some of my images from that day to a worldwide Photography project – Aday.orgPeople from about 160 different countries around the world participated, approximately a 100,000 images were uploaded on their site and out of those a 1000 were selected by a team of photo editors to be published into a book called ‘A Day In The World’.Today, my courtest copy of A Day In The World arrived in the post! Two of my images have been published in the book so of course I wanted desperately to have it in hand for that reason, but also it is simply a book you really want to own! One random day of the year, millions of people around the world taking pictures of daily life and using the power of the internet and technology and of course amazing project management to put it all together.I am super honoured to have been a part of such a documentation of our world on 15th May, 2012, but wow, wish I could have been a part of organising something like that. How exhilarating! p.s. these are the two images that were published in the book. You can see the rest of the set here.





As a person who always notices and analyses environmental issues in her head wherever she goes, I’m actually quite surprised that I didn’t come away from Varanasi with complete hopelessness. The river is dead. Completely. There is absolutely no life in the Ganga flowing through Varanasi. All that is in the river is dead. Dead flowers, fruits, vegetables, plastic… even bodies (yes, very disturbing, but unfortunately true and sometimes visible). Sure it can still look beautiful, but it’s a deceptive beauty.

And yet, something about the deadness of the river reinstated something that I strongly believe in. That even in the darkest places, from the absolute pits, redemption can happen. And though it makes me sad and even angry to see that we as humans have no respect for creation and conservation, Redemption will come. No matter how dark it gets, the Light is always brighter.

This is Benares, A Beautiful Mess.
