Surajkund Mela 2014 - Crafts & Colors


You can run, you can hide but you can’t escape the colors in Surajkund Mela. From grand decoration throughout the geography of the fair, to colorful dresses of the performers, to the handicraft stalls, to the pink color of cotton candy to tons of other things screaming color! If you love shopping, you will love coming to the fair again and again. An interesting fact that I came across during the fair is that many of the craftsmen who were invited over there were state-level and national award winners in their own fields.


The hustle bustle and variety of people coming from all age groups and all walks of life make a great hunting ground for shutterbugs. To experience the energy of the place you really have to be there. Here's a small tribute to the grand crafts mela called Surajkund.




























The Newspaper Project

For me, the Newspaper is the most accessible tool of Right to Information. People have their own reasons for reading it. Some like to be informed about the politics, some want to be up-to-date with the current affairs, some simply flip over to the sports section, some even don't care about the main newspaper, all they want to read is the lifestyle supplement.

Through this story, what I'm trying to portray is the urge to be informed which is there in most of us irrespective of the section of the society we belong to, time of the day or the place we choose to read it.
