What do you do beside clicking awesome snaps that gets more than 50 comments in facebook .In simple word are you working somewhere?

Did you undergo any formal education for Photography? or in other wordsWho taught you to click these awesome snaps? .
I’d say it’s an instinct that i developed into a talent…i have not done any formal courses on photography..My inspirations come from my family, friends, music and more importantly this wonderful place called Keralam. It’s a learning process so it’s all trial and error and a lotta luck!

Your family and girlfriends ?(yes there are girls who are intrested to know this )
I live with my folks here in Cochin. Girlfriends? Far too many to mention man….

Your cam gear must have cost you a fortune…where does the funding comes from?

The projects that i’m involved in help me buy my gear. I also invest a considerable amount of my income updating my equipments.

Your upcoming projects?
Now i’m working with “Celebrate Keralam”, an international project involving a large range of artists from Kerala across all art forms.On similar lines i’m working for Jill and the Beanstalk a Mumbai based publishing company run by Mini Chandran Kurian, creating pictures for their coffee table books. The other one is with the band Avial.

What do you have to say about the upcoming photographers?
There is a huge pool of talented photographers budding everywhere and with advanced technology thats available it has become easier to create exactly what to want. We all should find the right mix to create memorable images. I’d also suggest all aspiring photographers to keep themselves updated through websites like flickr.com.

Where do you see yourself in the coming days?

Behind the camera.

Thanks a million man .Awesome chat.last question,Any chance of free Photo shoot for Kochigallan ?

The name itself gives you a hint that it is going to be full-on north Indian cuisine.As the logo reads ” Dal Roti-Desi Khana” this place is too good too miss if you happen to visit Fort Kochi. What makes this place so special? Obviously the Oh! so vibrant owner Mr.Ramesh.He treats the place like his own baby and you can never get enough of his “you know what I think you’ll like very much..” so deciding on what you want to eat will never be a problem is this place and its never an expensive item either. The setting is lovely especially at night when its all lit up beautifully and it gives you that eery spooky haunted house feel in a good way of course.The wooden chairs are a treat to sit on after the monotonous leather seating which all the restaurants have.The menu has a variety of food ranging spicy biriyani’s to simple kati’s rolls.One more soothing add to the menu is the variety of refreshing drinks like iced tea,lemonade etc.Recently the menu has been enriched with village type local food also.So, you can never have the same type of food how many ever times you visit the place.

Its a rarity to find such unique restaurants in fort kochi which makes this place a must visit.

Location:Lilly street,opposite parade ground.
