ABOUT ME- ‘Travel and Photography’ these are the two words constantly driven me from place to place for the last 15 yrs . After completing my ‘Basic Mountaineering Course’ from ‘Western Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Manali’, I have been started my adventure activity. Then I used to trek in Himalaya. The breathtaking landscapes and the people of Himalaya prompted me to take up the camera to document those moments. And that is the moment my love with photography has been started. So it’s a ‘Himalayan Gift’ and now it’s been increasing day by day. If you ask me, why? Then I must say, ‘because of photography, I can able to rediscover the SPIRIT of my country. This is the way for which I can able to know the diversity and the rich cultural heritage of my country’. I am working in a children hospital. Photography has given me a new way to interpret life. Because of photography I can able to reach the common people, the downtrodden people of my country. Photography has driven me from Kumbh mela to high passes of Himalaya. Last year I was visited “Everest Base Camp – Chola region”. It’s almost 150km trek in the ups and downs of Sagarmatha National Park.
So, I think , I have enough emotion, love and obviously the confidence to prove myself a suitable candidate for this scholarship. I am fit enough to work hard in every situation . Thank you…….” I HOPE, I WILL BE THERE WITH YOU ,JASON”
