I have two hobbies. Writing and photography. They are also my twin professions. But i was not a `born’ photographer. The type that falls in love with the camera in the cradle and grows up shooting amazing pictures that stuns every aunt, uncle and second cousin. I grew up surrounded by books. Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and (even Khushwant Singh) were my idols. Not Ansal Adams, Edward Weston or Henri Cartier-Bresson. I discovered photography as a journalist. While covering fascinating assignments that only journalism can provide, I found that no matter how succinctly I wrote, a picture was always worth more than a thousand words
