My friend Mohan Sikka, a gifted writer whose short story "Uncle Musto Takes a Mistress," was published by One Story asked me to make something inspired by his story for an event bringing writers and artists together. I spent many vacations in New Delhi as a child and in these images I revisit Rajpath and the grand avenues and circles designed by Lutyens, picnics at Qutub Minar, and the sense of play possible in a house with a garden (A-17), unavailable in apartment living in Mumbai.
