Commonly regarded as one of the beacons of modern India, Bangalore or Bengaluru has made a name for its IT firms and international business relations. Yet somewhere in this cosmopolitan hustle-bustle is an eclectic traditional charm that sweeps the city into a mind-boggling mix. 

The images on exhibition are for sale. The photographers will donate 20 percent of the proceeds to SoCare Ind, a foster home for 104 children whose parents are convicts facing life or long-term imprisonment in Karnataka state’s jail system. The home provides free boarding, healthcare and education for the children and depends on donations and volunteers to function.

Mr Phua has motor neutron disease. The illness has left him immobile as he is slowly losing the use of his muscles. Mrs Phua is showing him pictures that I took. He is confined to his room except for the rare excursion to the hairdresser. I take comfort that my pictures are his windows to what’s happening on the outside…..just a thought….
