Your children might be tired of hearing that they wouldn’t know the importance of a clicked picture because of unending digital storage. It will never register with them, unless you tell them a story to be inspired by. Get them along for a session by city-based award-winning author Nandita da Cunha, whose recent release, Who clicked that pic? is inspired by the life of India’s first woman photojournalist Homai Vyarawalla. The author travels back to the Mumbai of the 1930s, as she reads from her book, and shows how a girl named Pari goes about her day, using her photo roll sparingly and comes up with brilliantly clicked pictures!
