“ To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It is at that precise moment that mastering an event becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.”
– Henri Cartier Bresson.

There were also three online competitions which included Chal-Chitra- short film-making competition, Story-Hack and “Captured”- online photography contest. Notable photographs from these competitions were also included in the exhibition which were truly remarkable.
“Draw Your Imagination” was another engaging competition, where the participants were given a theme on the spot and they were asked to draw a scene using their imagination; drawing not being the benchmark for judgement but the depth of imagination and creativity.
