How damned is our thirst for immortality!

Our every action chronicles the indissoluble irony of trying to leave a mark with our existence so very tellingly. Even though we know neither we nor what we leave behind are permanent, but we instinctively raise our stakes in front of time to make a stronger case for memories.

We make memories, so that we are not forgotten.

'Not so easily', as our receding footsteps gnash on the moment, it's the words and photographs that provide us with a window to look back.

​

This started as Darkroom, My Photostories, an earnest attempt to narrate those stories that pulsate through my photographs. Though most of the photographs here are plain ordinary, because it carries those 'first 10000 photographs which are', as the sage observation of Henri Cartier-Bresson goes, 'my worst', they are those building blocks which taught me that 'the eye should learn to listen before it looks'. But let's get it straight, this is not a website for showcasing my shutter skills with average gears. Instead, it's all about good-old storytelling, where both facts and imagination are free to delightfully coexist without compromise. 

​

Eventually it has grown up, came out from the cocoon as OUT OF THE DEN. And became expressive and animated enough to turn into YouTube videos and Documentaries. Photostories stays like childhood. The teenager and toddler both complement each other and seamlessly merge as they progress in life.

​​

There's a significant amount of study and serious research work involved in the blog posts. I will cue in from widest possible range of sources along with my experience to keep the information authentic. If any occasional mistake sneaks in or you find any inaccurate information, it would be nice if you bring it to my attention.

My hope is to create a platform where all can learn and feel uniquely connected through the stories, and I believe you cannot read and leave my world without gaining a little more knowledge and developing curiosity about the world around you.

I narrate those stories through the articles/blogs published in the PHOTOSTORY section. However, ​I envision this space to shape in and hold much more than sharing my travel experiences. I will write about anything under the sun and beyond that touches and matters to me.

​

I customized the website for handheld devices, but for the complete viewing experience, bigger display and high-speed connection are desired.
