Who on earth gets to watch the prestigious Mars Orbiter Spacecraft entering Mars orbit from its control centre at ISRO!? Can you imagine flying on a night mission over Afghanistan in a Black Hawk helicopter of the U.S. Armed Forces!!? Ever felt the recoil of the sophisticated M4 automatic rifle which can spit 700 rounds of ammunition in less than a minute. Mind you, that's faster than the 10 fps burst on a pro SLR camera :-O!!!
How about rubbing shoulders with world leaders, Presidents and Prime Ministers of Commonwealth countries all under one roof, in the Sri Lankan Presidential Palace!!!? Have you ever seen The Dalai Lama giving sermons from his home temple in Dharmsala? Not to mention the violent riots on the streets of Bangkok or the overwhelmingly disastrous trail left by the 2014 Tsunami.
Yes, all this and numerous other historic events is what I've witnessed, cherished, delved in and visually documented for posterity as a photojournalist in the last 18 years.
Now, let me know if there's a job profile that's more exciting than this!!
