Homai Vyarawalla, Home Alone at 97
I'm a huge fan of Vyarawalla's. Her pictures have a joie de vivre and a puckish sense of humour. Nehru, it seems, was her muse - she's taken some amazing photos of him.
I love her work!
Nehru died in 1964. How can he be alive in 1969?
Excellent point. That photograph is in fact from 1962. Fixed it. Thanks.
R.I.P the first lady of Photography in India.
