Mumbai photowalk - 25th December, 2023 morning

 Got some friends walking to Mumbai posh areas with interesting turns. Baanganga - a pond with well made steps all around. Myth is the pond has Ganga river connected and it formed when Ram put his arrow (baan) in this place where Ganga flowed out. Banganga Khotachi wadi - amidst space crunched Mumbai posh area, there are lanes full with bunglows. Ancient, beautiful wood made bungalows of Portuguese style. Khotachiwadi remembering Soth

KGL-Kashmir Great Lakes Trek

 Whatever you say, Things to do before you die, Bucket list, must visit places on Earth...Kashmir remained in all those lists, for me. Then, I have a book, name Witness, a photo book of journalistic photo of Kashmir, images of Kashmir troubles. Interestingly, which the editor of the book also exclaimed, that there is no image of Kashmiri Hindus being fled or extracted from Kashmir. With this complex state of visions, news, anger, frustration, religious bias beneficiaries one thing remain same and true to my existance, that I have to see Kashmir. And I do not want to see tourist Kashmir, I want to see Kashmir as Kashmiris see.  Their, my first step or plan you can say is to have a trek to reach deep inside of Kashmir, where Kashmiris are with Kashmir and themselves. Hence Kashmir Great lakes happened.  Images, I want to speak for themselves, only when I want to say something more of my vision, I have added some notes on top of those images.
