I clicked this picture back in March during the initial stages of the nationwide lockdown. A brother of mine was playing with a plane made out of paper. What you see here is the plane in question. This is a picture from the science museum in Bangalore. As you see, this is a model of a spacesuit. Every year a fair happens in Silchar. The fair is called Gandhi Mela. This is a picture that I clicked just after getting my first ever Digtal SLR. The reluctant expression on the child’s face is because he wanted to go on a different ride. This is a picture from Lal Bagh Botanical Garden in Bangalore. The kid was nice enough of to let me click his picture This picture is from last year Durga a puja. I liked the way the dhaki was playing his drum. The sound, as always, was full of energy. This picture is again from the Gandhi Mela. This is an accidentally shot. I am happy that it turned out this way. The picture that you see is one of my favourite shots. I clicked this on an old Sony Cybershot. One of my favourite cameras. I clicked this on my way to Bangalore. The train was over a bridge when I clicked this shot. I clicked this with my Redmi Note 5. I clicked this on my way back from a trip. I suppose this was in West Bengal. I don’t remember the station’s name. But I remember this guy. I was following him for quite a long time. In the end I was able to get a picture of him. But in exchange I had to buy a pack of Biriyani from him. I clicked this during Mahalaya 2019. It was on the Sadarghat Bridge. It was around 6 AM I suppose. I remember meeting my friend Anwesha on the bridge that day.
This is a picture that I quite like. This is also from Durga Puja 2019. I like how the subject is waving the ‘dhuna’. I clicked this in September 2019. This picture was from before the Puja. The artist was in the middle of modeling the idol when I clicked the picture. I remember the lady with the folded hands. She was quite energetic. She was also happy to let me click a picture of her. This picture is also from 2019. I clicked this on my phone when she was performing the ‘Dhuna’. Where would Durga Puja be without the presence of dhakis? This is a must during Durga Puja. The place you see is Sadarghat. People gather here every single Durga Puja to bid farewell to Maa Durga. But I suppose this won’t happen this year because of the pandemic and all. I clicked this picture just before people were preparing to submerge the idol. I almost lost my Cybershot back then. I was going to the College Road Bazar when I saw this boy. He was a cheerful guy. This picture is again from the College Road Bazar. This is the fish market. I clicked this on my on my way to Bangalore. I also purchased a newspaper from this guy. I still have it with me.
I remember clicking this picture in absolute solitude. I was staying at a lodge. But on that day I was alone in my room. I had nothing better to do. This image is from the circus that happened in this year’s mela. However, I was not able to get inside as I was short on cash. I clicked this photo during last year’s Kali Puja. The photo is from Silchar Shmashana. This is a picture of a shop just outside the Shmashana. I remember being shooed away by the owner. I suppose he did not like me clicking pictures. I like the subject here. He looks so bossy in the image. I love awkward shots like this. This was clicked on the fourth day of 2019 Durga Puja. My friend Anwesha is also in the frame.
