SHADOW CITY: ALL ABOUT CHILDHOOD, ANCESTRAL ROOTS, HERITAGE, CULTURE AND FAMILIAL TIES
Namrata explores Kabul through Taran N Khan’s Shadow City which according to her isn’t just about a city . Stories in Kabul begin with the phrase ‘ Yeki bood, yeki na bood .’ There was one, there was no one. Taran N Khan (Shadow City) Taran N Khan’s first book, Shadow City takes us around Kabul highlighting the varied experiences the city and its people have been through over years. It is neither a memoir, nor a travelogue. Lying somewhere in between, Khan has found the perfect voice to depict a place which has been through so much and yet continues to thrive in various ways. Growing up in Aligarh, Khan grew up with a fascination for Afghanistan due to her Pashtun background. After completing her education in Delhi and London, she has now decided to call Mumbai her home for the time being. Her works have been widely published in India and internationally, including in Guernica, Al Jazeera, the Caravan and Himal Southasian . Her writing has also received support from the MacDowell
Nice tagline you've made for this picture! Looking so fresh! Nice click:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tarang :)
Deleteghanchakkar (http://ghanchakkar.wordpress.com/) has left a new comment on your post "Silent Saturday":
ReplyDeleteInteresting observation. and nice click :)
A small suggestions if you don't mind: first you need to be focus your lens slightly more on the object.
Second let your "silent saturday" completely silent. :)
I hope you will take small suggestions in positive spirit.Sorry if you feel offended with suggestions. :)
But as I remember I have been allocated this job by someone ;) :P
DeleteSilent Saturday was started to post my pictures with a tagline to them, hence they cannot be completely silent. Otherwise there will be no meaning to it as each reader might interpret it in their own way and I will never be able to say what I intend to through them.
You know what is surprising is your comment itself is contradictory. A nice click and then those suggestions don't go hand in hand!! Nevertheless I am just an amateur photographer who loves trying her hand at photography. Hence with each picture I constantly strive to improve.
Thanks for your feedback!
