Street photography is all about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, one candid moment at a time
IT was almost two decades ago when I first stepped into the world of photojournalism. Back then, I was working for a national daily, and the term street photography wasn’t used as commonly as it is now.
In those days, between assignments, we were often asked to keep an eye out for interesting visuals. These weren’t meant to make headlines—they were fillers, offbeat images to print when an advertisement or a story fell through. Sometimes, it was about matching the mood of a weather report—a foggy morning, a sudden downpour or a biting cold snap. Other times, it was about showing life in areas under curfew, where human resilience carried on quietly behind the headlines.

The discrimination persists from Kashmir to Kerala. From delayed degrees and stalled promotions to verbal abuse, professional isolation, and sometimes death, these case studies underscore not isolated instances but a pattern

Writing is Acting by Another Name
My wife spots him first while my attention is focused on the bucket of theatre popcorn (medium, salt and caramel mix). I look up and there he is. Pico Iyer, great travel writer, essayist, novelist, columnist, humanist, and in recent years, friend and correspondent. While the rest gasp when Timothee Chalamet appears in Marty Supreme, we gasp when Pico does.
