An unforgettable true story.

'12 Years a Slave' is not fiction, not exaggeration—just one man’s fight for survival and freedom.

This special edition of Solomon Northup’s memoir honours both the original voice and the timeless revival brought to the world through Steve McQueen’s Academy Award–winning film 12 Years a Slave.

From a free-born man in New York, to twelve harrowing years of enslavement in Louisiana, and finally to the long-awaited day of freedom in 1853—Northup’s story continues to inspire, educate, and move generations across the globe.

A tale of resilience, injustice, and ultimate liberation that must never be forgotten.

✨🪔 Happy Janmashtami 🪔✨

On this sacred day, we celebrate not just the birth of Krishna, but the eternal wisdom he gave us in the Bhagavad Gita — a guide to duty, devotion, and harmony.

🌿 May Krishna’s song of truth guide us all.

“I orient my ears towards the rustle. In the distant foliage, I hear not a roar but a breath…”

That was Arjun Anand's first encounter with Hamir — the black and yellow prince of Ranthambore. A moment of dread, wonder, and surrender. What began as a chance meeting grew into an obsession: hours turned into weeks, weeks into years, as he followed him through the lens — watching him rise, fall, and rise again.

Today, on , we remember Hamir. Not just as a tiger, but as a force of nature — majestic, misunderstood, man-eater, ruler, and eventually, the fallen prince.

'Hamir – The Fallen Prince of Ranthambore' is the story of a beast, a forest, and a photographer — a journey that blurs the line between witness and participant in the raw, regal world of the wild.

Story First.

Pirates? A creative house set up by a couple of IITians and more with an eye for unique stories and ideas in all forms. Finally India is telling stories about India. In a language that Indians speak. Like every change, this one is charged with sullying tradition. Yet, slowly but inevitably we are evolving our own grammar. It is this grammar that we wish to capture, in words and images.
