When headlines matter, everything else blurs.

Shot at a bustling Indian railway station, this black-&-white frame captures a striking contrast between chaos and stillness; a signature of a photojournalist @RaghuRai’s visual storytelling. He passed away today.

Many #tribal kids of #Abujhmarh are the first generation in family to ever attend a school as education steps in @NarayanpurDist There’s no way to describe the twinkle in their little eyes when they saw books, pencils & school bags for the first time.

Grief is not uniquely human.

#Elephant Mother not able to comprehend death of her calf.

She keeps dragging body for some time, at times for days. They are so like us. Mourning, remembering, refusing to let go.

This we documented in nov 2024.

Could you believe these moving radiums are giant #elephants?
Just elephants glowing in the dark!

Captured through #AI thermal #drones,
Deep inside #Chhattisgarh’s forests,
Where the wild moves silently,
Even when the world sleeps.
