Tucked away on the beautiful village road, right beside The Shaka Surf Club exists the worlds most charming post office. Its a small room staffed by a single employee with nothing but the ocean and some monsters to keep her company. These monsters come alive every year during the annual village festivities where I imagine they put on quite a show! But for the rest of the year, they chill peacefully, taking in the fresh sea air and keeping a stern eye on the daily proceedings of the post office :) Canon A1 //CineStill 50D

Lopsang's folks I.
A few weeks ago I had the privilege to travel to a beautiful semi-nomadic village a few hours away from Leh, to film with some of the most amazing human beings. We were doing a story on some shepherds and how climate change is affecting their way of life. Got a chance to interact with this one family in particular and they were unbelievably warm and welcoming. Here is Lopsang's mother, she always had the largest smile and the sweetest chai :)

Here is Lopsang's father, he is one of the most energetic souls, running up and down steep hills at that altitude. Here he was shy to smile because he said his teeth were broken :)

Dawn Prayers.
We got a chance to witness the early morning prayer at a small monastery near Leh. Just so happened that we also got to witness the early onset of bad weather that would be a big part of our shoot for the next few days. But these moments of peace and calm and silence were worth every minute of the storm.

A few months ago, I went film shopping with a friend and came home with something funky called 'Color Implosion' by Adox . Decided to pair that with my trusty underwater Minolta and take it to my favourite place in the world. Here's one from the roll of hero number vun Poorna paddling into some small swell on a beautiful day!
The Approach.
A few hours due south of Bombay harbour is this magical little island that is home to the Kanhoji Angre Lighthouse. Every year, the yacht club organises a weekend cruise where we get an incredible opportunity to sleep under the stars as this beautiful beam of light continuously makes its way across the ocean all around us. Sadly though, they have begun major construction of a jetty on the island which is slowly turning this beautiful rock into just another cluster fuck.

Throwback to a special weekend in Mandwa with the boys.
