One of India's finest photojournalists, T.S. Satyan, has been showing some of his old and not-so-old pictures in Bangalore. His retrospective exhibition, which was inaugurated at the Tasveer gallery on December 18, his 85th birthday, will conclude in the city on the last day of 2008 and move to other cities -- Bombay, Delhi and Calcutta. I want to sign off for the year by referring to Satyan's exhibition because it has greatly inspired my New Year resolution, which is to renew with greater emphasis the pledge to work hard without allowing the taint of cynicism to touch you.
