Chain Ki Neend

Was browsing through the fashion/ lifestyle mag 'M', when I cane across this photograph. It's from the book - King, Commoner, Citizen - a selection of photographs by Prashant Panjiar..

"It's a collection that blends the somewhat incongruous contemporary lives of erstwhile Indian princes with the incredibly diverse, layered, euphoric, despairing and paradoxical existence of the common Indian"

A welcome relief from the sanitised picturescape of the glossies and large sections of the dailies and the 'advertised India'!
