few more favourite moments with women from Halakki Vokkaliga. Each gesture and interaction, was filled with such warmth that spoke volumes about their collective way of life. So much of learning on resilience, beauty, identity, and belonging. Photography for JourneyofObjects.

Photography for JourneyOfObjects. Documented the beautiful women of Halakki Vokkaliga tribe in Karnataka. I was in awe of their beautiful sari drapes, jewellery, sense of community, folk songs. It was an enriching and learning experience to witness a living archive of heritage and culture. Excited to be sharing more from this interaction and experience.

Not a reboot. Not a rebrand. A beginning. Object Speak marks the next chapter in our journalism—where fashion, craft, and crime converge. Here, the storytellers are the contributors themselves: the reporter, the designer, the editor, the stylist, and beyond. Our pursuit remains the same: a Journalism of Touch. But on 26.7.25, we shift our senses to sound. Guiding the conversation are @parth.mn1991 @suketdhir @misspriyansha @bhanujkappal @navelichoyal and Nikita Saxena, with @abhi_meer bringing music to the people of Bombay. We meet at the apartment 6 PM onwards. Link in bio. Join us.
