Poets - Ambika Bhatt

If there is one thing I could say about myself, it is that I believe in Life! I believe that life shows us ways when none seem to exist, bulldozes down walls, when we feel trapped, opens windows when we feel claustrophobic! A journey... thats what life is for me, not a means to an end. A post-grad in English Literature, a year spent studying for the Civil Services, then finally... as if a fitting culmination of all my wanderings... Photography! I am learning Photography at Girish Mistry's Shari Academy of Professional Photography in Mumbai. They say when you love the work you do you never have to work for even a day! I hope to never work for a day! Interspersed with the visual odyssey is that of words... so poetry and photography... for now, make up life for me! So does the Mumbai sea, the people of the streets, dirt roads and the graceful ballets of light and shade!
