Rocket

Meet Rocket.
His owner is a Ganesh Idol Maker.
Rocket lives with a hen and a goat called Reshma.
They Quarrel all day.
He woke up to get his picture clicked and then got hold of my camera strap so I bend to show him his handsome picture.

For some obscure reason, it is impossible for me to walk dowm a street and not have it break down into frames that dance around in my mind. I suffer from itchy feet which land me at different places with my camera leading to adventures and misadventures, ranging from stoned mystic Sadhus telling me to control my anger to being caught up in a cyclone.

I have an intense fascination with feet. I am in love with the Black and White medium and analog cameras. Any photographer would consider me mad but I am very fond of grainy/noisy black and white pictures.

It's simple - the moment I hold my camera and press the shutter release button, i get a high which cannot be substituted by any drug in the world and that is enough for me to realise my love for photography!
