Castle of 007

One of the most visited castles in the Western Highlands of Scotland, Eilean Donnan Castle invokes stunning beauty and nostalgia for the James Bond aficionados. Surrounded by 3 lochs – Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh, the castle is a paradise for photographers like me. I could spend all day here and would be still gasping forContinue reading “Castle of 007”

JCP Attari – An Emotional Experience

This place will give you goosebumps. Not just the aura, but for the intense emotions that this place exudes along with the stigma of sadness and incomprehensible loss that we have witnessed over the years remains unparalleled, this stage will let you scream from the inside for the lives we have lost. For the firstContinue reading “JCP Attari – An Emotional Experience”

Spain’s Night Out

Spain were deserving winners last night. I was disappointed with England’s defensive approach and lacklustre football. In such high profile finals, we expect teams to take an all-out approach where you look to penetrate early, % of ball possession needs to be at the maximum and force the opponent to take risks and capitalise onContinue reading “Spain’s Night Out”

End of an Era

Watching today’s Wimbledon final felt like ‘passing over the mantle to the next generation’ kind of a feeling. Djokovic is a champion player and his stats speak for themselves – 24 Grand Slams, 7 Wimbledon titles and iconic rivalries with contemporary giants like Federer and Rafa. But everything doesn’t last forever. I still remember thoseContinue reading “End of an Era”

Marble Vibes

I visited Taj Mahal around 30 years ago. And then, came back to the white marbles in Dec 2023 with my family. And, what we saw was beyond what we felt. There is no doubt, and absolutely undisputed, this place has an ‘Aura’ which cannot be described in mortal words. And no, not because itContinue reading “Marble Vibes”

Silence

This picture was shot during the Pandemic (in Oct 2020). It was still so beautiful around but fear and death were doing the rounds then. The silence was so deafening that we all wanted this to end, desperately. Thankfully, here we are. Times change.

Downtown

Liverpool City Centre is a bustling part of the city filled with energy, positivity and charm. I used to commute everyday from St Domingo Vale to the City Centre (way back in 2014-15), it used to be roughly 20-25 minutes depending on traffic. Just to mention and this is specifically for my football aficionados –Continue reading “Downtown”

Changing Landscapes

I wasn’t raised in this part of Calcutta but many years later, I lived in Newtown for few years as it was very close to my workplace, commuting from South Calcutta would be a pain, especially during peak hours. But obviously, the quintessential ‘Calcutta’ vibe was missing. I realised how far the city has spreadContinue reading “Changing Landscapes”

Run for a Cause

Fitness is a journey, not a destination. Thank you, TCS! #FitForLife #FitnessGoals

City of Dreams

London is just like any other metropolis, I find it very similar to Mumbai or Calcutta or Chennai. Always buzzing with people, every corner of the city is awake 24/7, cultural diversity runs through the DNA of the city landscape and the city appears to be as much yours as anybody else’s. I have visitedContinue reading “City of Dreams”

Traditions of Life

A culture is a manifestation of self. I can vouch for this statement when I look around and see how festivities unfold. Brightness is a symbol of optimism and hope. It is a beginning of the trust we have in fate, destiny or whatever is already written but not visible to us. Thus begins theContinue reading “Traditions of Life”

Irrfan – Remembering the Performer..

Perhaps the most unique find in the field of Cinema in the last 25-30 years. Gifted and natural, Irrfan Khan was one of those actors who defied the qualities that goes in to the making of a superstar. Ordinary face (not conventional), bulging eyes, tall but not a domineering presence, no six packs nor doesContinue reading “Irrfan – Remembering the Performer..”
