Prabuddha Dasgupta an Inspiration!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Prabhuddha Dasgupta and his images still keep flashing in mind and I still think about him. He shouldnt have gone so soon, it wasn't the time for him, But then Why...Life has its own ways ..</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Years back, in Vogue..the images that caught everybodys attention..that was the first time, even I knew about him.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although he preffered the monochrome images, the colours that came across in  his images were extraordinary. They reflected  the rich colours of India and always left me trying to learn a lot from his images. Seasons and its colours were best shown by him. There was always a sense of connection which we could establish in his images and he had the power of bringing extraordinary beauty in the ordinary. Intensity in all forms could be found in all his images ,it seems the images speak a thousand words.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As TOI reports "An intense man with so many Auras, India's Avedon Prabhuddha Dasgupta wanted to give us images that burnt in our memory long after they were seen no more''.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
