The Indian Experience

My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

A science lab technician, with an obvious addiction to the sound of shutter. A cash-strapped traveller, who aspires to travel more on a stringent budget. A hopeful pessimistic, with a streak of optimism.

I have always been enchanted with India. Her cultures, her traditions & her rich history fascinated me. When my moment came to visit this alluring land, I packed visions in my head beforehand on shots that I wanted. I envisioned Taj Mahal to be covered in a glorious blanket of a kaleidoscope of a sky, I fancied an attempt to capture Amber Fort in her majestic formidability, I felt a responsibility to harp around photos of monuments when I was back home.

Instead, I was hopelessly charmed by her people. These photos are a representation of my experience in amazing India.
