Cinematographer based out of Mumbai, India.
Looking for a space where I am seen.
Now when I discuss my bipolar diagnosis with people, they say, “oh yes I thought you had bipolar”
All I can think is, why didn’t you tell me!
I am sure if they had, I would have been very upset. Well…

Living with Bipolar - it’s been about 6-7 months. Still not sure who I am. Where do I go. What do I do.

I can’t be left alone with my thought. My solution- always listen to something.But I can’t do songs. So I listen to podcast.
True crime is too depressing, So is current news. My fav tech podcasts only does ~4 hours a week.
Any recommendations for background listening to keep my mind same?

Just watched Conclave. Superb movie. Great cinematography. So they shoot in natural light? It visuals are magnificent.
Don’t know if it will win an Oscar, but This one is going to stay with me for a while.

Been sitting in the heat since 3pm so that I have the ocean view for the sunset. Call me crazy, but I’ll tan for a good view

Living with bipolar 2 - still struggling with it and trying to figure out how to get out of a depressive state. Should I just wait 4 weeks?

Tomorrow I start work. It’s a 7 day project. It’s been months since I’ve worked, feeling a little weary and excited to see what comes. #newproject #shootdiaries #filmindustry #shoot

I shot this last year for saree brand - Itihaa
A great experience from which I learnt a lot about the kind of cinematographer I aspire to be.
