Retrospect is a photographic record of the author's pursuits of wildlife across India in the year 2013. Written in a humorous and self-deprecatory style in language varying between wry and eloquent, and punctuated with stunning photographs, some of which have made it to the final round of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, this book is also the result of an inexorable urge to create something aesthetic and authentic, to make a beautiful thing with beautiful things.
