गूगल ने होमी व्यारावाला को उनकी 104वीं जयंती पर डूडल बनाकर श्रद्धांजलि दी है. आज पूरी दुनिया Google Doodle के जरिये उन्हें याद कर रही है. गूगल ने उन्हें ‘फर्स्ट लेडी ऑफ द लेंस’ के तौर पर सम्मानित किया है. भारत की यह पहली महिला फोटो जर्नलिस्ट हमेशा छद्म नाम से फोटोग्राफी करती रहीं. होमी व्यारावाला ‘Dalda 13’ के नाम से अपनी तस्वीरें छपवाती थीं, उनकी अधिकतर तस्वीरें इसी नाम से प्रकाशित हुई हैं. इसके पीछे बहुत ही दिलचस्प वजह है. उनका जन्म 1913 में हुआ था और वे अपने पति से 13 साल की उम्र में मिली थी. उनकी पहली कार का नंबर भी DLD 13 था. इसलिए उन्होंने फोटोग्राफी के लिए उन्होंने अपना ‘Dalda 13’ रख लिया. वे इस नाम से फेमस हो गईं.




Google on Saturday paid tribute to Homai Vyarawalla, India's first woman photojournalist, with a Doodle.

Vyarawalla was known for widely photographing India's transition from the British Raj to an independent country after its subsequent partition













Hailing from Navsari in Gujarat, Vyarawalla moved to Bombay to pursue a diploma at St Xavier's College before moving on for further studies at the JJ School of Arts. She was introduced to photography by her husband Manekcshaw Vyarawala, a photographer at the Times of India.

Vyarawala went on to work with the British Information Services and was a familiar sight in Delhi, sari-clad, travelling from one end of the city to the other on a cycle. She believed that the key to a good photograph is timing, composition and angle. "There are 15 people taking a photograph at the same time; each has his own style. But there's only one who gets the right moment and the right angle," she said in an interview to The Hindu



She learnt photography from Maneckshaw Vyarawalla, who she later married in 1941. The couple lived in Delhi. In 1969, Vyarawalla’s husband passed away, and a year later she quit photography. After her husband’s death, she moved to Vadodara in Gujarat, where she spent the rest of her life. Their only child, Farouq died of cancer in 1982.

Vyarawalla, who began her career in 1938, published her work under the pseudonym ‘Dalda 13’, which symbolised her birth year (1913), the registration number (DLD 13) of her first car, and the age at which she met her husband — 13.
Vyarawalla was awarded the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian award, in 2011. She was also conferred with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the I&B Ministry in 2010
