Why you need to catch 9 to 5

On its 30th anniversary, Mid-Day took the initiative to document the stories and faces ofu00a0 an urban India, that spends more time in office cubicles than at home. A wide-open brief was given to 10 photographers, each one being handed out a city. They were asked to shoot 10 images in their chosen city between 9 am and 5 pm. The GUIDE asked celebrities who dropped in why everyone should catch the exhibition before it folds up.Ravi Deshpande, admanI liked the idea of new photographers recording life in and around the cities they are part of. It was a good way of getting new talent to display how their mind works, through images. Simone Singh, actressI think it's great when you see a city through somebody else's point of view. I loved the photographs of Mumbai they made me see my city in a completely different light, through another person's intellect.James Ferreira, fashion designer It is a beautifully-curated and aesthetic exhibition. What drew me to the exhibition was that it centered around 9 to 5, and went so much further than that. It was not just about office life, as I had thought it would be.Divya Thakur, graphic designer It's the only visual representation of urban India the way the country is right now. If you want a compact yet sweeping view of contemporary India, with all its contradictions and chaos, then 9 to 5 is where it's at.India 9 to 5 is on till July 31, from 11 am to 7 pm at Piramal Gallery, NCPA, Nariman Point.
