I took to photography during my early childhood. I am 54 now. I work these days mostly with my Leica M7 and 90mm Summicron.

Photography did do a lot to me during my studies at Sainik School in Trivandrum, Regional College of Education in Mysore and Viswa-Bharati in Santiniketan.

Cartier-Bresson has been quite a big influence on me. "Always approach your subject on tiptoes — even if it is a still-life," he said. I try to adopt that tip-toe approach, and it shows in my photographs I guess.

Otherwise, these days I spend my time with the editing and publishing of THE KERALITE LADY.

THE KERALITE LADY is the only one English women's magazine from the highly-literate south Indian state of Kerala. Yes, God's Own Kerala.

THE KERALITE LADY is an attempt at separating sense from non-sense.
