Having seen the images on a projector, i think the place is surreal and it’s amazing that normal people who work day in and day out in a corporate scenario could pull it off.

I read the ebook & agree with Arun completely. The emotion that has stayed with me is ‘vicarious pleasure’. I can actually explore without moving out of my geography. Theres an ocean of difference between want and need, which gets … Continue reading

The images are expansive and yet the vastness of the landscapes are humbling. The text can surely be better. Your narration should as devoid of emotion and sentiment as possible or it should be singularly emotion account. But all in … Continue reading

The visuals are messmerising! They take our breath away. They really are a work of art. The font is a little small. It’s difficult to read really. But a marvellous piece of work. Nurture your talent further.
