Hansa Piparsania
Biographical Info:
An MBA from IMI, Delhi and a Masters of Mass Comunication from Sophia's, Mumbai, I was born in the historic city of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Having lived in India, Oman, Thailand and the Philippines for the last 15 years, my passion for almost everything Asian has drawn me to further explore places like China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Cambodia.
I grew up with creativity around me, having an artist mother and a sister who is a designer. On my 18th birthday, my father gifted me a Nikon SLR camera and ever since- I have looked at the world from a whole new perspective ! With a never ending passion for photography I am a traveler at heart and deeply interested in history, art, culture and design. I have dabbled in advertising, print, radio and marketing, and worked with the National Museums of Bangkok and Manila, JWT, Mumbai and the Madras Craft Foundation at Chennai.
Moving to the vibrant city of Bangkok led me on a journey to discover Buddhism and my effort culminated in a book ‘Thailand Through Our Eyes' published by the National Museum. As an active member of the National Museum in Manila, I shared my experiences on growing up with the Taj during the series of lectures on the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Currently I have returned to Delhi after 13 years and am rediscovering its fabulous history and heritage. I am also mom to two teenage daughters, always encouraging them to travel, explore, experience and of course capture!

The Seven Cities of Delhi - Of People and Places
Hansa Piparsania - vpiparsa [1,259]
Delhi - The melting pot of cultures for over a 1000 years, is in fact a city of contrasts- palaces on the left and slums on the right; chaotic crowds that overwhelming you one minute and a warm endearing smile greeting you the next.
