90\u2019s Diary<\/strong> is a deeply personal visual memoir by documentary photographer Rajib De<\/strong>, reflecting on a decade that reshaped both his life and the world around him. Rooted in the transformative 1990s\u2014a period marked by globalization, the rise of the internet, and rapid urban change\u2014the book traces the evolution of people, cityscapes, and everyday life through an intimate documentary lens.<\/p>\n

For Rajib, the 1990s were formative years: a time when his parents were still with him, when he transitioned from being a cricketer to a photojournalist at a leading English newspaper, and when photography became his enduring language. It was also a decade of personal milestones\u2014meeting his wife Malabika, and becoming a father to his sons, Ujan and Ishan\u2014experiences that quietly shaped the way he began to see and record the world.<\/p>\n

Drawn from an archive of over 16,780 photographs<\/strong>, this book presents a carefully edited selection of 100 images<\/strong>, revisited and re-sequenced three decades after they were first made. The photographs move between public and private spaces, documenting a society in flux while remaining anchored in lived experience rather than spectacle.<\/p>\n

90\u2019s Diary<\/em> is not nostalgia in the conventional sense; it is a measured reflection on time, memory, and change. It stands as both a personal chronicle and a broader documentation of an era that continues to shape the present.<\/p>\n
