Starting a photography business in India takes both creative talent and business sense! Here's a practical roadmap:

• Develop your skills - Master your camera, lighting, and editing before taking clients
• Choose your niche - Wedding, portrait, product, or commercial photography?
• Legal formalities - Register your business, open a bank account, get GST if needed
• Build a portfolio - Offer free shoots initially to create your body of work
• Invest in equipment - Start with basic professional gear and upgrade gradually
• Create online presence - Website and Instagram are essential for photographers
• Network aggressively - Tell everyone you know about your business

The initial years can be tough, but if you're passionate and persistent, it's incredibly rewarding! Pricing is tricky - research what others in your area charge.

Chandan wood (sandalwood) prices can vary wildly depending on quality, type, and form. As of 2024, here's a rough estimate:

• Indian sandalwood (the most prized): ₹8,000-15,000 per kg for good quality wood
• Australian sandalwood: ₹2,000-4,000 per kg
• Powdered form: ₹500-1,500 per kg
• Small pieces for puja: ₹100-500 for 50-100 grams

The price has increased significantly in recent years due to high demand and regulated harvesting. Always buy from reputable sellers as counterfeit sandalwood is common. The government actually controls much of the trade since it's a protected species.

Having lived in Trichy for over a decade, I've tried several cleaning services! For bathroom cleaning specifically, Sparkle Home Services has been consistently reliable. They use eco-friendly products, which was important to me since I have kids, and their staff is well-trained and punctual. They offer deep cleaning that really tackles the hard water stains common in our area. You can book them through their website or just give them a call - they're quite responsive!

Convex lenses are everywhere in our daily lives! Here are the most common places you'll find them:

• Eyeglasses for people who are farsighted
• Cameras to focus light onto the sensor or film
• Magnifying glasses that make small text appear larger
• Telescopes and binoculars to gather and focus distant light
• Microscopes to magnify tiny objects
• Projectors to focus images onto screens
• Laser pointers to collimate the light into a straight beam
• Human eye - our natural lens is convex!

They work by bending light rays inward to meet at a focal point, which creates magnified or focused images.
