Way back in the seventies, my parents along with my brother (who was three at that time) moved to the UK. Their stint would last for about three years, before they would eventually return home, but stories of their life and travels across Europe, would dominate the rest of their life. As a child, I’d…

The ‘Third Eye’ is a good gift to have. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about it, “The third eye (also known as the inner eye) is a mystical and esoteric concept referring to a speculative invisible eye which provides perception beyond ordinary sight.” For most photographers, their camera, transforms into a third eye.

Do perfect trips exist in the real world? As a seasoned traveller, I’d have to say, there is no such thing as a perfect trip. Things are meant to go wrong. On the eve of your departure: you will forget your debit card at the ATM, a thunderstorm will ominously circle over clear blue skies,…

If we could see the future; we’d be tempted to change it — in our favour. Or, do something, to stop it. Probably, not get out of the house or cancel a dream trip. (Un)fortunately, we cannot predict the future. And, that’s why, we set on new paths and explore unknown places. Make no mistake, there…

“It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement — that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.” Sigmund Freud I don’t have any idols.

I admire photographers. They’re not very different from magicians, often conjuring illusions of imaginary worlds — blurring the fine lines of reality. And if the camera, was invented a few centuries earlier, it would be interesting to see how would they have fared against thinkers and painters of that time. “One person’s craziness is another…
