After his father, Kali Prasad Sarma, suffered a stroke in February 2018, things were never the same for Mrinal Sarma. He suffered partial paralysis and loss of memory, making communication harder. Guwahati-born Mrinal was working in Delhi at the time. "After graduating in fashion design from the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Shillong, I got interested in photography. I've been into street and fashion photography since," shares Mrinal, 31.
