This is from my project a 100 pieces of me. Check out the project on Wordpress. 


"I come across people from all walks of life. People who are different from me because of their upbringing, their social status, their religious identities and their sexual preferences.
In each person I encounter I find a piece of myself; a reflection of my inner self: sometimes pleasant, at times dark and unwanted; things I either embrace or reject.
I believe this to be true of most people - More often than not, what we like in another is either what we are or who we aspire to be. And what we detest in another, is also either what we are or what we fear!
This project is about such encounters. Some of these people are just like me. Therefore, a lot of them are young (or not so young) Urban Indian Women with varying religious identities and sexual preferences. The others are not: their lives are dramatically different from mine. But across the spectrum there has been something about each person's story that has intrigued me and moved me.
The purpose of the project is to build a scrapbook of inspiration: a journal that records this time in which these people live; a mapping of the journey of their lives, which has lead them to this moment. It's about the city in which I live and the people who live here. Their lives, their thoughts, their causes and everything in between. An archive for the future being created in the present moment."
