Raghu Rai is on the course
Malavika’s Mumbai
MidDay
THE good souls at the RWITC are ever active. After the visit of Dr Farooq Abdullah and Dr Rajendra Pachauri a few weeks ago to launch the RWITC’s Green Circle Foundation, the Club, lungs to a swathe of SoBo, we learn, had another interesting visitor over the weekend.
The celebrated lensman, Raghu Rai , whose pictures of deserts, disasters and despots has won him many admirers has been commissioned by the Club to shoot its heritage property.
Apparently, Vivek Jain, chairman, RWITC, took it upon himself to chronicle the 130th anniversary of the racecourse and engaged the lensman to capture images of the 220 acres in its entire splendour.
“The Club hopes to exhibit about 50 of these images shortlisted by Raghu on the 130th Anniversary Cup Day, which falls at the end of March, and then take steps to put together a coffee table book with pictures also from its archives, a first for the RWITC in its history,” said Jain.
Hope they’re lots of pictures of fancy Derby hats too!
