Highlights of the May 2025 Edition
CARVAN-E-SATTAL – The Birding Trip (Cover Story)
Step into the tranquil world of Sattal, a birding paradise nestled in Uttarakhand’s lush valleys. Carvan-e-Sattal is more than a travel piece—it’s an immersive experience through the lens. With every page, you’ll find yourself among flocks of colorful birds in flight, perched gracefully, or caught in quiet moments. The imagery is rich in texture and color, capturing everything from the vibrant plumage of Himalayan avians to the serenity of the Sattal waters. It’s a visual journal of nature’s poetry in motion, making it the perfect story to grace our cover.
MOM-ENT MAKERS – Celebrating Mums Behind the Lens
In celebration of Mother’s Day, we present Mom-ent Makers, a deeply emotional tribute to the mothers who live behind the camera—those capturing milestones, preserving memories, and telling stories through their unique perspectives. These women don’t just photograph moments; they create them. Balancing diapers and DSLRs, their stories are raw, inspiring, and sometimes humorous. We’ve gathered heartfelt narratives and portraits from mothers who have turned their love for family into creative expression. This feature is both a nod to their dedication and a reminder of the warmth only a mother’s lens can capture.
