After growing up Bombay, India and spending several years studying and working in the United States, Vinay Jawahar returned to India with his camera to find something.<\/p>\n

\u201cI toyed with the idea of \u2018Invisible India\u2019 or, less dramatically, \u2018The India You Missed While You Were at The Mall\u2019,\u201d he tells The Boston Coffee House<\/em><\/a>. \u201cSomething really didactic and embarrassingly unsubtle about the India eclipsed by gated communities, swanky (and less than swanky) malls, and gleaming office towers. A second (and secondary) instinct was to tease out a technical or, if I were feeling truly bold, an artistic narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n
