In March 2019, I left my job at Tower Research Capital, to take a small break from work and live aimlessly for a while. My mental health had been declining steadily for the last few years, and going away for a while seemed like the only way out.

Backpacked throughout the country and more for a few months, while severely reducing camera time.

I was not planning to go to the Ziro Festival this year, but the dates coincided with a layover in Kolkata, and hence made the stop.
