I stay at Cooch Behar , West Bengal , India. Photography is my passion. I take photographs with love, I play on happily in the layers of humanity. I like to intimate with the subject matter and work out of compassion, respect and understanding for the people and issues. For me Photography is a means of union among men, joining them together in the same feelings, it is a voiceless weapon which can demolish the barrier of Time and bring forward the identities of the unidentified.
