Ok now Mr. Faizan Ahmed Khan is now roaming in Mumbai, it means me. Here I got to know the new aspect of the world like i was always thinking that Mumbai is only for riches and not for poors but here after coming my whole perception was changed, here I saw the big big skyscrapers of the city while poorest of the poor in Dharavi, I was shocked really guyzz, and for one whole day I was in Dharavi, thinking that I discovered a new miracle world where rich is very rich and poor is very poor, my eyes rolled down a thousand tears, i cannot tell you guyzz what i am feeling right now but you can also feel by seeing my scholarship competition photos naming "innocent life" , and this name also discovered in there only and after that I moved to the biggest washing place a.k.a Dhobi Ghat where clothes are not washed in washing machine but a special platfiorm with great architecture of sand and stone is built there and there they wash clothes......I am really feeling very bad who are poor, may be i dunno the reason for their condition but why our five fingers are not equal....i dont know

And guyzz there i saw an old woman with a beard, please see you have to belive this

me : I am a good writer and loves doing creative things like photography and filmmaking

my dad's friend to me : ok, but what will you do there ?!?!?!

I was like....what, I havnt uttered an answer and went off from there.

well when I first asked to my parents that I dont want to be an engineer, I want to go to creative field, they were shocked, as if an atom bomb was dropped in Hrishomia and Nagasaki, but because I was there chid and moreover "son" so they somewhat given me the permission.

Hii, guys my name is Faizan Ahmed and I am from lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India actuly it is 500kms far from Mumbai, so after that I packed my bag and baggage and came to Mumbai, but this city was as unknown to me as a new born child, here I have some friends who again are doing engennering here, so the told me all the good and ofcourse bad places to me where one can freak out, ok let it be.

Hi faculty members, I have tried my level best in taking the photos but then also I need a lot of caring and mentors in understanding the jargon of professional photography, moreover I have went through every possible place to show the story in photos but due to less knowledge of photography I think might be you'll not get what you want and thats what i want to learn, please give me this golden opportunity in learning with the great, talented, most - experienced photographer Jason.
And also I am from a small place in India, where these creative things are not respected and so if I get this chance, the people around me will at least understand that this field is as best as doctors, engineers etc. and what peoples' perspective is, will change, so please jury members help me in doing this, I will be highly grateful to you guys.
