1. Colors of happiness

    The photograph shows a contrast between the two opposite ways of     life – the pleasure derived from materialistic comforts pitched against the simple little joys of life.

2.      Resurfacing

     Showing the stem of a tree eaten by termite, the photograph goes on to symbolize the painful stimulation caused by an external stimulus which makes us exert ourselves and bring out the beauty at our core to the surface.

             3. Laheron Ke Rajhans

       Title taken from a play by the legendary author Mohan Rakesh. The photograph portrays the Phantasm of a dystopian man in which fair swans dance on water in trancelike movements in the depths of a passionate night.

4.      A human being creature

    In an excessively consumerist and luxurious world where some have automatic tooth brushes, there are some others who crawl on the roads having no dignity spared to their miserable life.

    5.  The ancient empty street is too dead  for   dreaming

    Title taken from a song lyrics by Bob Dylan, the photograph shows an urchin whose sunken eyes have not the capacity to hold big dreams. He roams on a road with big cars, with neither any hope for attaining such luxuries nor dismay at being unable to attain the unattainable.

 6. O religion! Leave the kids alone         

             Photograph from Ijtema at CST, Mumbai intending to teach Islamic women the right conduct and lifestyle as per the moral code mentioned in Quran. Little girls, who should be freely frescoing around, also got entrapped in the burqa.

  7. Poisonous vapors 

          Having inhaled a few pouches of whitener to fight hunger, sleep, or depression, the overdosed woman was sitting on the road clutching her head and scratching her feet, oblivious to the eye of the passersby. The empty pouches were lying nearby.

8. The three musketeers     

     Three young friends teamed up as a gang confidently flash their guns displaying a resolute surge for some puckish merriment undeterred by the mundanity and harshness of a practical world.

9. Reflections of a spider

        A venomous spider with its long legs stops by to reflect while looking at its reflection – what it was and what it has turned into. The short pause of a long journey to measure or remove the venom inside.

 10.  Brothers

     The photograph illustrates affection and care in its most innocent form and the maturity resulting from being an elder sibling. Although he is a little kid himself, yet with what tenderness he makes his younger brother wear his shoes.
