“Vaddi jhadiyan te safed daadiyan” is how Chandigarh is described, rather rudely I thought, by some locals. This evocative Punjabi phrase means, a place of, ‘large trees and white beards’.
My unfamiliarity with the place coupled with the rather uninspiring description of Chandigarh as a town of under-populated, tree-lined boulevards and aged retirees forced me to re-interpret the,‘young urban professional living in metropolitan India.’ I included people who may not be young in years but are modern in the approach, to their work and life.
The best part of modernisation is the availability of choices to people. This is reflected by the explosion of talent, the desire to improve and the wish to make a difference which, for me, defines urbanisation. The people I have featured in this photo essay, exemplify these traits. They are extremely fortunate, at the same time, to live in India’s best-planned and maintained city. |
