Celebrity Life
Body Evolution & Consciousness
Many people wanted to know how I lost ten kilograms of body weight over the last six months. While I would like nothing more than to share how this happened to me, I am wary on two counts. One, what worked for me, might not work for anyone else. Two, weight loss is only the beginning. The tip of the ice berg. Keeping that weight off and leading a fitter, healthier lifestyle is my ultimate goal. I do not want to detract from that. "Lost Ten Kgs!" sounds like a gimmicky, "get rich quick" headline and I do not want that to be the selling point.
Street Style Photography in India & My Journey
Having spent the last couple of years lamenting about how there is no half-decent street photography project in India, I was too scared to try it myself. The visual of me, a girl, standing on the streets of Delhi / Noida / Gurgaon, with my camera used to shut down the plan as soon as it came up in my head. Where would I stand? What if someone came up to me and demanded to know just who the hell I thought I was, pointing my camera at whoever I please?
