Jam Today Photo Magazine Issue 2

A place of beaches, islands, coconut trees and graffitis; Goa! It is a magical breather place that everyone from India wants to visit but fails to break the wall to get past it. The place recites a story for both nature and party lovers; it offers music from the music system and songs from nature; you can have your choice and choose the one you want. What makes the experience of Goa all the more astounding are the people there, be it the tourists, the locals or the recent movers. All have such a distinctive character, with various stories to share, and this is the journey that this issue of Jam Today will take you through. The journey through places, the journey to people we meet and the journey through…

How long has life existed in the universe, and how many of us have observed all the little detail? Maybe none of us, right?! After all, it is impossible to notice every detail of the place, but it is possible to observe the place for more than what it is known for. Today in the race of social media and trends, we even tend to travel, observe and see the place for what it is and focus on the mainstream and monotonous stuff. The places created by the universe deserve to be known, understood and viewed. This issue is committed to the unobserved details of nature and the world.…

THE SENSE OF SELF EVOKES US TO BECOME THE ONE WITH NATURE Water, makes and breaks things. All the life on this planet fades away eventually; the one that stays till eternity is water. However, it has created a language of its own that will last even long after we die. Its language is not just about communicating with nature but with us humans. It speaks to us like any other art form. Water’s beauty and depth are not just about how it looks; it is not about the waves it creates with the force of gravity or the reflections it shows, but also about how it feels on us. It quickens the emotions; its silent touch caresses the weakest points of our body, and it impacts all the human…

We are constantly told why lights are essential to our physical body and the vitamins and benefits it infuses when we get exposed to them. Not just the physical benefits, but it can also improve our vision with the help of eyeglasses by bending the rays when it passes the glass lens. But, what we are not told is that lights are not just crucial for our body but also our creative mind. Like how Jazz helps us imagine and hallucinate our thoughts based on just the sound of music and no words, the colour of lights does the same; instead of our ears, it’s our eyes that help us dream of the wonder or the Neverland. So imagine, if these lights come together with the water bodies, how beautiful…

“WHY NOT LOOK FOR THESE BROKEN PATTERNS ON THE WALLS” Art breaks the pattern of boring and monotonous life. It leaves the room for withered to bloom and shower colours of imagination in our daily life. So, when there’s art present on the walls of the streets, it creates a contrast between the neutral and painted shades of walls. Graffiti break the pattern in an ordered world; it reflects and puts light on the strange visions and thoughts. It illustrates that the world we have lived in for centuries should not always work and be displayed in order. It should have its share of misfits and non-monotonous rhythm, as that is how we focus on our thoughts and let ourselves free from the hierarchy, pattern, and routine. SERAPHINO ANTAO PAINTED…

JT: How did you come up with this colour palette? SP: In a market full of boring neutral choices of colours, we surely knew ‘Our Slug Life’ would stand for bright hues of life, happiness and young spirit! The personalities of both of our co-founders are such that playfulness, depth, variety, and cheerfulness define us, and these colours precisely reflect that on our range. Also, did I tell you we offer our cyclists to pick their choice of colour in all custom made gear? JT: What brought this idea of creating bags for bicycle riders? SP: To answer this question, I’ll have to begin with the origin of Our Slug Life. Our Slug Life was initially co-founded in 2016 by my partner Sudhanshu and me as a platform to share…
