Walking in the narrow lanes where smiles and sadness stand side by side, where navigation of the body and soul is a difficult task, where emotions needed to be reined, I wonder how people can help others so effortlessly and lovingly. After a shoot I was restless, agitated and irritable. I was not the same.As photographers we are told not to get involved, just observe, shoot and leave. I did all three, a little more, and I cried.

I have a habit of putting myself in other people’s shoes, so I wonder… what do the children think, feel and how do they look at the world.
Being a parent, I know we want the world for our children and also somewhere in the process take unnecessary burdens and blames. I walked into homes, heard the stories and felt the unsaid pain.

Prabhat is walking into lives that are less fortunate and brings welfare, trust and hope into the ignored lives of our city.
