I'm originally from Bangalore, India now moved and settled in the UK with family.
I worked part time jobs and studied at the same time so could save up to buy my own camera equipment for a trip I have always dreamed of doing, travelling the length and breadth of my country. I finished my masters late October in filmmaking and quit my jobs, took all the money I had saved up and I started a 6months journey across India. To film and document the different cultures, landscapes and people.
I covered over about 20,000kms starting from the south then headed west and last East. I began this journey thinking it will be one of solitude but it turned out to be the opposite. I met some amazing people. From finally meeting and falling in love with a childhood friend, to strangers in munnar who let me stay at their house to a train vendor giving me a free meal when I lost my wallet. It was a great experience. And I'm glad I documented it to show everyone that life is just not about living day to day and achieving your dreams. It's about the experiences you have along the way that matters more after all life is just full of good and bad moments we remember and share in the end.
Here is a video which i made of my trip and hope it inspires you to do the same. https://vimeo.com/129751927
