It is easy to forget that those we witnessed as wise old men were also young. For this writer, Adil Jussawalla remains a name often found in textbooks of English Literature pored over during early years of graduation.

Yet, there was a time when a young Jussawalla, armed with his camera, was a creator and a participant in some interesting intersections. These find expression in the ongoing exhibition, Enlightenment from an Unlikely Envelope, at The Guild. Curated by professor Deeptha Achar and Chithra KS, the exhibition has now been extended till July 15.
