This year’s edition is bigger than ever with 200+ films being screened 400+ times. While regular competition sections are there, this time around, the highlight theme is Human Rights and Social Justice.

We walked close to ten kilometres today, through a variety of localities, from the crowded Chickpete to the well planned Basavanagudi. I realized how I missed those walks. I realized the need to get back to photography, to fill these blogs with frames that capture the essence of this city, it’s energy and colours.

So when it rained dinosaurs today, I was estimating the amount if water that I could have harvested in 4 hours.
The people that matter will continue to call Bhagwan Mahaveer Road as Infantry Road. Basaveshwara Circle is Chalukya Circle. And Sankey Road is well, Sankey Road!

For the first time, I’ve booked the whole week for the festival. 3-5 films a day. The festival always gives me chance to get lost in a world that isn’t fake but isn’t real either. All this, for just ₹600!!! No kidding!
A number of questions are being asked and statements are being made by different people as a post-mortem of the incident is being carried out. But, how valid are those questions? Are we being reasonable when we ask a few things..? Have we asked all the right questions? Where are we as a society?
For the people, by the people, of the people. That’s democracy by the textbook. Very little of that exists today. …
The city is tired of its inhabitants. It’s puking all over the place. People live here to earn a livelihood …
