From a young age, I was captivated by movies and books, their stories fueling my imagination and shaping my creative aspirations. In moments of reflection, I would gaze out the window, drawn to the vibrant beauty of the world around me. The diversity of cultures, people, festivals, landscapes, and rituals deeply fascinated me. From reader I turned into a storyteller! At the age of 35, my journey into photography began with the gift of a small camera from my sister-in-law in Florida. Despite starting relatively late, photography quickly became my passion and purpose. Now, at 50, I have spent over 14 years as a visual storyteller, continually learning and evolving. Under the guidance of the acclaimed GMB Akash, I immersed myself in photography, developing a deep passion for capturing human life, festivals, cultures, travel, and street life. I find immense joy in uncovering beauty in the smallest details and celebrating life's stories through my lens. Among all genres, travel and documentary photography hold a special place in my heart. Behind the camera, I feel free, immersed in a world of creativity and discovery.

The Story of Manipuri Dance From the very beginning, I’ve been drawn to stories that speak to me alone—tales that stir something deep within, not those shaped by stereotypes or curated to win applause through the portrayal of clichéd poverty. Awards were never my destination; authenticity was. I have always chosen to frame the quiet dignity of preservation, the layered textures of culture, the sacred rhythm of religion, and the soulful journey of people and travel. Photography, for me, is the mystic reflection of life—a mirror veiled in shadows and light, whispering stories only the soul can hear.
