For a long time now, I have seen photographic representations of Calcutta and have been deeply distressed at how it has been reduced to a set of visual archetypes...frankly, I was aching to break free of that mould...not to consciously do something "radically new", but to show to others the so many other faces of this city, that grows inch by inch...grows on you...
Acknowledgment: I thank Sovik Jana from the bottom of my heart. The camera belongs to him, and he has let me keep it, never wanting it back. Thanks.

s simply awesome, what you have done here..often we tend to disregard the means already available to us and pine for better means...and such has been the case with me always...but as always, you have showed me its not the means, but the end result that matters....and its beautiful.
I'm proud of you!
the beautiful thing about them is this common theme of looking through, each of them hinting at something beyond, some promise, some aspiration, some dream, some gamble, of making it big, of serving many, of being noticed, of being appreciated, of reaching a broader road and so on. time to get yourself a camera.
