Author Description

Most photos of Mumbai emphasize its overpopulated spaces and hectic life, its crowded festivals, its glittering showbiz, its public transport crammed full. 'Mumbai Monochrome' presents moments of small epiphanies that usually stream past in a blur, unnoticed by the public eye. These quieter moments are conserved in photos and embellished with haiku poems, comprising an invitation to slow down and contemplate the present moment. The book is an invitation to reclaim for memory the city we edit out of our consciousness.
