A palimpsest of my memory and experience in Calcutta.
I am a filmmaker, curator, distributor, exhibitor and trainer in the field of documentary practice.
I am a mother of eight, 1 human, 5 dogs and 2 cats.
I write a Substack column called Planet Kolkata which is a palimpsest of memory and the present.
A substack for personal essays, some longer than others, and the occasional short story.
We are the only species that communicate in such non-ritualistic ways as written language and through our creativity in engaging with the world around us. I attempt to engage. The form is essayist. I also wield an iPhone camera.
