Whispers of the Forgotten: A Rusted Memory


In the silence of abandoned homes and peeling walls, an old bicycle leans quietly, as if waiting for a journey that never resumed. The cracked plaster and rusted spokes echo the passage of time, telling stories of a life once in motion—of daily rides, market visits, and sunlit afternoons. The texture of decay is beautiful here, not in ruin but in remembrance. This image isn't just about what’s visible—it's about what’s been left behind.

A tribute to forgotten tools and the people who once gave them purpose.

 Beneath the Banyan – A Portrait of Tradition In the heart of rural Tamil Nadu, tradition walks hand in hand with everyday life. Under the timeless shade of a sacred banyan tree, a farmer leads his bull – not just an animal, but a partner in labor, a part of the family. This frame captures more than just a moment; it’s a visual poem of devotion, resilience, and deeply rooted customs. The hanging offerings on the banyan tree speak of local beliefs and spiritual connection, while the farmer’s stance reminds us of dignity in simplicity. Shot in monochrome, this image pays tribute to the age-old bond between man, nature, and his land – untouched by the noise of modernity.

Rock Beach, Pondicherry            Early mornings at Rock Beach are filled with quiet light and timeless presence. This frame captures the Gandhi Statue standing tall and calm, framed by pillars of colonial memory and the first burst of sun over the Bay of Bengal.           I waited for this light — a clear sky, the sea shimmering behind, and no crowd. The sharp sun flare symbolizes the heat of resistance Gandhi carried, while the empty space reflects the silence of reflection that he always stood for.           Pondicherry is not just about streets and culture — it’s about stillness too. This monument speaks without words.           This is the kind of moment I try to capture in my photography: not just what we see, but what we feel when we pause to look again.

  Rooted in Time: A Moment Beneath the Banyan           Amid the tangled roots and ancient limbs of a giant banyan tree, a boy sits — shirtless, fearless, and part of nature’s sculpture. This photograph is more than a frame; it’s a story suspended in time. Captured in timeless black and white, the image strips away distraction and speaks directly to the soul.           The banyan, often symbolic of shelter, memory, and resilience, mirrors the spirit of rural life. The boy, effortlessly at ease in this jungle of branches, reminds us of childhoods spent in the wild — away from screens, held by roots.           This is not just street photography; it’s a portrait of connection — between man and tree, between the present and a deep cultural past. In moments like these, we see not only the subject but also ourselves.
