This photo story is something on the lines of loneliness and the pain of getting old. Joydeep Mukherjee is a very passionate photographer who loves to capture the untold tales of human emotions. This photostory is such a tribute to his wonderful style of photography.
I am old and grey. I am alone inside these four walls and I can only talk to my loneliness. My loneliness is killing me inside.
I am almost imperceptible to those people, who are happy in their busy own world. Sometimes, I feel like a critter, for whom these humans had a stiff-arm.
I wasn’t born to be an undeserving creature like I am now. But over the years I have realized that I was just not acceptable to fit in here.
Now I am completely disconnected…mentally, physically and emotionally from the entire human race. I don’t even feel like being alive anymore. I am almost sacrosanct, detached and redundant. I don’t wish to have any company. I don’t want to see anyone. I want to lie down in my bed, darkness all around with the curtains drawn. My life is full of emptiness. I feel like a sluggish wave to come and wash me over.
My solitude and its pain!! I wish no one can ever experience them.

About Photographer
I am a photographer who believes that an artist’s work must be good consistently to be considered as an art. One must have ‘eyes like a shutter and mind like a lens’!!…. I always ‘work for a cause, not applause…I live life to express, not impress’!!
From my early days, I have been interested in various kinds of sports, trekking and travelling but it was only in 2003 that I stepped into the world of photography. During a trek to the Annapurna Base Camp – Nepal I got interested in photography. From this time forth this passion became an integral part of my life.
According to me a photographer must be technically competent to use the various techniques to change a photograph from a mere snap to a “snapshot of someone’s life”. Photographs can be used to narrate a story, and thus should not cater to the aesthetic aspect only. Despite my hectic working hours at a reputed Kolkata-based MNC, the passion for photography remains undiminished.
Photography…Let our words be few…exposures many!!

Hey buddy, this is amazing work and really touching the story is told via pictures… Keep it up! 🙂
Absolutely brilliant series dada. You are a true inspiration!
Really a commendable attempt to unveil the pathos and struggles of a lonely lady apathetic to life and disgusted with the society. Every click is synonymous with the pains, neglience and rejection which surround many in the old age.
This is marvelous! Each photograph has beautifully captured the loneliness and the lost love of “Baro Maa” in these photos I found hope, I found trust and most of all I found the goodness of her soul! You are an amazing inspiration Sir 🙂
Indeed the photographer has got ‘eyes like a shutter and mind like a lens’!!
He has really Expressed and Impressed as well.
May god Bless All..!!
i would say a great photography and a great message. But one question goes to you, did you do anything to change or anything to make her condition better. I would be much happier if you do something for that lady moreover for ur photography:) do it for a cause
