We must turn corners in the city—often, on foot.
We must live in it, walk with it.
A city is not an animal to be muzzled, drawn, and quartered.

“The successful city is unfiltered. It embraces a breadth of imagination from the counter-cultural and the non-conformist,” writes Albert Read.
Indian cities were once just that. Alive with chances.
Now, we fight to render them lifeless.

Like Jane Jacobs, I see the city as a living organism.
Growing up, I lived in places where seasons changed:
where flute sellers’ music echoed through alleys, summers arrived with the falsay seller’s songs.
We shared lives in & with the city—instead of just taking up space.

Indian cities today want to become Le Corbusier’s fever dreams. Stacked cubes of glass and concrete. Tyrannies of straight lines.
Do we want to live in Instagram grids—uniform & joyless?
Here’s what we lose when we aspire to 🧵

What happens when the media turns a dog into a menace?
– NDTV & Republic made snarling dogs click-bait.

Photography isn’t art. It’s power.
