Go to the outside world outside of your abode. You will see thousands of people around you. They may or may not know you. You can see that most of those people are on their way to work. Yeah, every day, almost everyone runs to fulfilling their daily routines. Public transport is one of the most widely used types of transportation. Yeah, it could be a bus or a train or an airplane.
In public transportation, we can see people with different thoughts and aspirations often. Some are looking outside with hopeless eyes. Some are looking at books, and some are using their mobiles. So, everybody is alone in their world. Among these, some people think differently in a fantastic way.

And according to that thought, I try to grasp the complexity of human relationships by capturing photographs. Through the photos I take every day, some unique strangers get lost in their world can capture something extraordinary.”
