Pari has 10 photos left in her roll ... and the countdown begins. Read this fun filled romp, for a peek of what it must have been like, back in the 1930s, to be a young woman, confident, cycling the streets of pre-independent Bombay (with a 9 kilo Rolleiflex camera strapped on your back)... Nandita da Cunha's story celebrates the life of India's most famous photographer, Homai Vyarawalla. Homai's courage and craftspersonship comes out beautifully in the book. Priya Kuriyan's illustrations maintain Homai's style of work so accurately that sometimes it seems as if Homai herself has illustrated the book. The continuous shift between craft and life reminds the readers of the liveliness of theatre. The book is available in both Hindi and English languages
