Postcards from Karbi Anglong: 38th Karbi Youth Festival
This is a special post on the forthcoming 38th Karbi Youth Festival. NONE of these photographs are mine. I’m doing this post as a show of support & goodwill.

Bangalore Noir: Incorrigibly Branded
So, eventually I decided to capture Bangalore as it is, the branded city complete with the lonely Ronald McDonald, the Oreo diving into milk and a shapely derriere personifying capitalist lust.
Tungabhadra: Bridge over the Styx and fountains of everlasting youth
As a side dish to my Hampi trip, I visited the Tungabhadra reservoir and a park build within the complex that are fitted colorful fountains. It was already dark when I reached and I was greeted with a very eerie sight. It felt like the Styx with a bridge build over it instead of Charon's...
