“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.”
— Anita Desai
Wandering Minds is an initiative by Transcend Films, founded by filmmakers Sushil Ahire and Kinjal Damani-Ahire. It brings together a community of filmmakers who are, at heart, passionate travellers. We are driven by a shared curiosity for places, people, cultures, adventure sports, and visual storytelling.
What began as a personal urge to explore gradually evolved into a collective journey—one that connects like-minded individuals who seek meaning beyond destinations. Wandering Minds is about discovering new perspectives, nurturing creative expression, and building a community of curious, observant, and engaged travellers.
We believe that life is deeply enriched by exploration. As Agnes Repplier once wrote, “The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life.” Through this journey of wanderlust, we venture into breathtaking landscapes, lesser-known destinations, and familiar places seen through fresh eyes. Often, it’s not about where you go—but how deeply you experience it.
Our travels are guided by an intent to observe and understand. We aim to capture the spirit of each place through a lens shaped by curiosity and respect. In doing so, we hope to offer future travellers insights that go beyond itineraries—revealing the subtle details, stories, and emotions that make every place unique. As Miriam Beard said, “Travel is more than seeing the sights; it is a change that goes on deep and permanent in the ideas of living.”
Visual storytelling lies at the heart of what we do. Sometimes, a camera captures what the eye overlooks—a fleeting moment, a quiet detail, an untold story. Along the way, we also share practical insights on photography, videography, editing, and the tools that support the creative process, helping others refine their own visual language.
The world is vast, layered, and endlessly inviting. There is always something new to discover—new stories, new cultures, new ways of seeing. Wandering Minds is an invitation to explore without haste, to wander without losing direction, and to experience the world with openness and intent.
Join us as we continue this journey—seeking stories, celebrating curiosity, and discovering experiences that stay with us long after the journey ends.
