How far should one go to tell stories? When you spend a decade using words to paint pictures, it's such a gift to have a camera in your hands to speak a thousand words with one click. There's no distance to far for an opportunity to watch India's best basketball players in action.

A few moments from my 3,500 km round-trip ride from Kolkata to Chennai for capturing the 71st National Basketball Championship.

Special thanks to the players and those working behind the scenes, Basketball Federation of India, TNBA Hub, Mr Aadhav Arjuna, Mr Azeez, Dharanivel Kandhasamy, M. Arivunithi and team, Straight Out of India, Madhav Gupta Singh Dogra, Prathiksha MK.

P.S. - if you're looking for a base layer shirt for motorcycle trips, look no further than Decathlon Sports India's Merino Wool- https://bit.ly/MerinoMT500. Breathable, soft, controls odour and manages moisture to keep the body dry.
