How has your journey been so far?
I picked up my first camera, a Canon 20D, around 15 years ago, and since then, I have never looked back. Everything that I know, I have learned on the go, upgrading and buying new cameras, and experimenting with them. On the first day, I didn’t even know how to use the camera. I had bought the 20D from my vendor, and was at the airport, trying to click a photo of a flight that had taken off, using the telelens. After a while, I found that I simply could not figure it out! In fact, soon enough, I realized that I had physically damaged the camera on the very first day itself. I was never really formally trained in photography, you see. I faltered several times, made mistakes, but I learned from each of them, and kept at it, practicing and experimenting with the camera. Over the years, I got better and my skill set enhanced. Looking back, it’s been quite an exciting journey, one which is still teaching me new things every day.

Dried and Dusted
The West Bengal state of India has always been known for its rich culture and diversity. This innate taste and style is reflected in their dishes too. Their cuisine is essentially. A lot of its flavours and masala mixes have been handed down from over a thousand years and Bengalis to this day retain those recipes which make them truly “shonar Bangla” dishes.
