Two more days to end the decade(almost) long partnership with Delhi. Saying goodbye to Delhi is not easy for me. It gave me a lot starting from job to pain. I started from Today (a daily tabloid) in 2005. Piyal Bhattacharjee who helped me to climb the first step in Delhi. I was sailing smooth through the sea of journalism in Delhi until MetroNow (another daily tabloid) closed down. That was a pathetic time, used to earn less than my monthly expenses. Those ten months took away my entire savings and confidence to work. I was left with nothing except my will power. Some good people helped me at that time, one of them is Neeraj Paul, who introduced me to Thiagarajan Narayan, the then national photo editor of Hindustan Times. He gave me a chance in HT. Had to start from the scratch. After almost four years I dare to move out and join DNA as chief photographer. I was getting married so needed a good package, except that I havent got anything from DNA. Was feeling suffocated, may be thats the reason why it was not a tough decision for me to accept the Mumbai HT offer. Delhi made me self sufficient, gave me some good friends and more importantly it gave me some good moments which I managed to capture in my camera.
