Bringing drinking water to home every morning is a practice all villagers do. There are no water pipelines in the villages and most villages are remotely located where modern infrastructure is not available. So, people go to the running water source to fill up their water containers but due to the low temperatures, the water freezes inside the container if not utilized quickly. The domestic water usage in these villages is very low. they do not even clean their utensils with water. Water is scarce and extreme temperatures and difficult terrain do not give you options to go for a refill anytime you want.

I am a self taught professional photographer based in Gurgaon, India. Though my educational background is in computer engineering I am fully involved in picture making. There is a saying that India resides in its villages. However, I am a city boy with no native village and somehow I yearn for village life. I think I am an old soul who wants to get free from the excess of globalisation and live a simple life. Due to my love for the environment, I shifted my focus from street photography to documenting climate and environmental issues. I constantly try to find a unique perspective to photograph a given scenario. In today’s world, most of us are racing for something and happy with mediocre results. I tend to not run that race.
