What a pair and what a movie ‘Tere Tere Ghar ke Ghar Ke Saamne’ was! Watch it today and you wonder that Dev Anand was Saamne and pushing 40 and Nutan returned after the birth of Mohnish. Their chemis- you will love try, the easy role of the movie, the depth to the simple romantic script the Delhi of where the concepts of ‘old vs new’ and ‘young vs experienced’ are beautifully TGKS and it taken up and the super songs make TGKS a must watch even today. ‘IS’ a lovely The songs are so amazing that they stay with you forever… and ever… romantic Dekho rootha na karo… I love the comedy, expressions and the repartee in the song, this is one song where the man- exactly what is nerisms that Dev Anand immortal- ised are clearly seen, which were a needed for a little muted otherwise. Ek ghar ba- naunga tere ghar ke saamne, the title perfect family song became super famous due to ‘Nu- tan in a whisky glass’. The high end weekend! technology of today will do a much better job but I will stay with Nutan shivering when Dev Anand adds ice to his whisky! Dev searching for his lady love as he sings ‘Tu kahan yeh bata is nashili raat mein’ across Shimla in the foggy moonlight, is the sweet- est thing and that hearing him, Nutan comes out and they smile at each other before Dev Anand doffs his cap and walks away humming… he has seen her… the quest is over... for now! Sun le tu dil ke sada… A heartfelt song with deep lyrics – as a torn Nutan fi- nally succumbs to Dev Anand, bowled over. The songs will take you to the movie… watch it for pa- rental conflict vs bless- ings, love and desire, modernity vs tradi- tion and for Dev Anand and Nutan, it is one of Vijay Anand’s best in my opinion.

For me, photography is one of the visual mediums to com- municate a story, an idea or a thought. Without a story or a reason, any kind of photography is lifeless. So to make any photograph attractive, noticeable or sellable, you have to bring a reason to it. Personally, it is my hobby and profession both, so I enjoy doing it as it gives me creative satisfaction. We can undoubtedly say that we are the ones who made food photog- raphy a mainstream genre in Jaipur. Before us, food photogra- phy did exist but was never considered a very desirable genre among photographers. Through my workshops and internships, I have tried to train people to add stories or rather life in their photographs instead of clicking blind pictures. My interns are now successfully doing photography both professionally and on a personal level and seeing them satisfi ed makes me happy too. For me, every day is a photography festival. The moment I click a good picture, the moment I upload something on social media and the moment people start responding to my posts, it’s like a celebration.
