Delhi A-17

My friend Mohan Sikka, the gifted author of "Uncle Musto Takes a Mistress," asked me to make something inspired by his story for an event bringing writers and artists together organized by the publisher "One Story." I spent many vacations in New Delhi as a child and in these images I revisit Rajpath and the grand avenues and circles designed by Lutyens, picnics at Qutub Minar, and the sense of play possible in a house with a garden at A-17 West End, all unavailable in apartment living in Mumbai.
