Have been following your work on Instagram since years now and to read your blogs now on Substack just feels like a treat. Your documentation, writing, photo essays I am a fan of all of them. Aslam sir and your collab (Hallu Hallu) has done so much work for the people of Bombay. Thankyou for all that you do. Eager to follow your journey here on Substack now. I just joined.

Thank you, Rishab. Started writing here so that I could experiment with photio essays which I was not doing with instargam, etc. It was my new year resolution.
