As a deep-rooted Kolkatan and student of architecture, my senses have always cherished the city. Here, architecture follows no specific pattern, epitomical of a mixed medium form. Once established as a British capital, and being an economic hub of commerce, Kolkata has a rich history of bringing together an eclectic mix of cultures. Every building has its own character. Subtle details depict an array of emotions: clamoring hope, drives of passion, even assemblages of agony. That’s what I try to capture within each frame as I feel them pulsing in my blood, the expansive history and heritage embedded within these marvelous buildings.
