This is not a temporary phase. This is the new operating environment.In the Indian Navy, we have a name for such an environment. We simply ...

While looking through old photos of a trip, I noticed a woman in the background of one of the pictures and started constructing her whole life—her name, her routine, her story. That minute moment made me realize something bigger: every person we casually capture in our pictures has a real, complex backstory.
