  "Vivek, one of my favorite photographers here on flickr. I first found him when I searched for similar profiles who shot pics of Lepakshi and from then I just became a fan of his pics ... his pics represent the true India unseen and unknown to many ... his perspectives are unique !
  
  Keep coming .. Keep Clicking .. I wish him all the best !"

  "Vivek has a talent for showing us the different facets of each story, and very effectively highlighting the human aspect. Each series stimulates our thinking, and forces us to face the reality of existence for the invisible multitudes.
  
  It is very difficult to confront some of the images that he so powerfully presents. Much as it is to confront the demons within. But in forcing us, Vivek is striking at the heart of selective cognition of reality and the hypocrisy all around us, and helps us to keep true our moral compass.
  
  Thanks, and your efforts are much appreciated!"

  "This is something I've been wanting to do for ages. Not that I haven't gotten around to doing it, just that every time I sit to write, I don't know what to write.
  I barely know Vivek, from a few comments here and there, some descriptions, notes etc from stream of our mutual contacts I figured out this man is a doctor turned photographer.
  It was this decision of taking that plunge into something that he is so passionate about that really awestruck me. There are so many of us who like photography who love taking photos etc. how many of us actually ending doing something for the society like this?
  His images have made me think. They have made me rethink & they have made me remember.
  Although I have *never* spoken to Vivek (other than for a few emails we have exchanged & some comments on photos) I get this feeling that is really hard to explain. I respect this man for all the work he has been doing & will continue to do. His images/work speak volumes about his character.
  Doc, remember that at any point in time, if you think you could do with an extra hand (not only to release the shutter), there are a whole lot of here who are willing to help!"

  "Vivek was one of the few photographers I used to take inspiration from when I started Photography some 2 years back. I am very happy today having him a very good friend of mine.
  I don't want to tell much about his photography, his pictures are loud enough to show his talent. More than a Photographer, he is a great person. I can discuss photography with him for hours. It's always a learning and pleasure to go through his photo stream."

  "An extremely talented photographer, i have seen lately.. I wish I could have seen his work more earlier.. Beside a very good photographer Vivek is a very humble person.
  
  I liked his different way of approaching to the subject.. His point of view is different altogether.. what i liked most is the wide range of composition he does ...
  
  It is always a learning to see his works."

  "It seems Vivek was born a photographer, his works have inspired me to become the photographer and therefore the person that i am today (what else is there to say?) and they continue to inspire me everyday! His understanding of his subjects is else, he has a style that is his own - be it forests or people. He has a willingness to keep trying and attempting to improve his already excellent work!"
