About this ebook
“………This is some sort of a photo-feature, Subhash presents
before us in a strikingly different poetic genre…
…..He comes forth with this excellent breed where the pictures
combine with the words in all elegance; very often the pictures
holding an unmistakable edge over words……..
……. Photos are actually captured moments from the unending
flux of life; and as such they have a link with slowness……
Only very few modern writers like Milan Kundera extol slowness
and its nuances…” Excerpts from the preface of “ LIKE A MOVIE SUBTITLE” by Critic Asha Menon.
