momentbeing a scientist how do your colleagues react to this hobby how do you balance the two worlds my friends and colleagues already were aware of my hobby since long time and they were always very supportive and encouraging being a scientist i stay busy most of the time in my research work but photography has become a lifestyle choice for me i always carry a camera at least a small one everyday and i take pictures whenever i see something interesting most of the major photography works are done during my travel and vacation time though while science keeps me motivated to work on challenging problems photography gives an way of expressing my creative outlook and gives me immense joy in free time i never experienced any problem balancing both worldshave you shown your video to any ace indian photographer whats been their reaction i did not go to anyone to show the video myself simply because i did not know anyone personally but many people including photographers videographers and musicians have got in touch with me expressing their admiration after i published my work i am really grateful to all of them for their support and i look forward to work with some of them in futureever thought of using your expertise to promote the concept of incredible india or offer your services to the west bengal government to promote the states tourism honestly i was not in a position to think of any such possibilities until now but now that people are familiar with my work i would be really happy to be part of such projects it would be ideal to be part of such government projects to carry out such works as that would give much more freedom and options
