Bandage

Hello there everyone,
So last time I spoke about finding your sparkle. This is similar, but the other side that one generally forgets to keep in mind

Sometimes things just don't work out because it's not destined to be. In the process of trying to make it work,don't lose yourself and stop being who you really are. Accept the phase and accept the real you and make the most of it. Now its time to find that light that never goes out. Find passion and happiness in other things to do. Find new dreams and wake up and chase them. Just because you lose one doesn't mean that's the end of it. When one door closes, two others open up. Go in search of the open doors and make the most of it

For all you know there might be another hidden passion inside of you that never came as prominently as the other is only because you didn't realize it was there.

Be open to things and interests and for all you know you could be doing two things rather than just one. that way it would always be food for the table and food for the soul. Satisfaction, happiness and a good night's sleep is all you need.

P.S. My passions, photography and writing
One's that I discovered recently, interior decoration and flowers at home (always liked it but now I love it)

Love in a South Indian household.

Image
Mind you, I missed out the word 'middle class’ in the title.  It has taken me a few years, a lot of weddings I shoot, and a very good dinner date with this amazing lady who I won’t name, to realise that we as South Indian kids have got the whole concept of love wrong.  Well, not wrong entirely, but let’s just say that the kind of normal punjabi house hold love, was only Karan Johar movies for us. I didn’t realise that was normal for them, until one day a punjabi friend told me I do not know how to love someone.  I found that very odd and strange to believe, because I for a fact was sure that I love a lot of my friends, I love my family, I love coffee too (ok it’s not a human being, but it could be!!) . So what did she really mean by it? OK yes it took me very long to hug someone and not be awkward, I have never kissed my friends on their cheeks, like all those typical Instagram photos of girlfriends. I never hugged my mom every morning for 20 years of my life.

I don't want to move to America, so what?

Image
I apologise for the silence from my end. I know it's been a while. But it's given me some times to think, and now I wonder. Does everybody judge everyone else's choices around them? I have been asked this question a billion times so far, 'Are you not going to shift to America like your brother and find a well paying job?'   NO      What is wrong with what I do now? So last evening I bumped into an old aunty who used to live in the adjoining building to us. She had only two question to ask me beyond the courteous how are you, 'What do you do apart from photography for work' I very hesitantly responded, 'That is what I do for a living, and I love my job', to which she checked me out head to toe like oh dear god, give this poor child some sense. Her second question to me was 'Your brother is of marriageable age, so when will he get married?' To which I smiled and replied, 'Why does everyone get married?' She instantly cross

Going back home to yourself

Image
 When we are young, we are always taught to share, respect each other, help the other, take care of  people around you etc, which are all excellent virtues to have, I accept that.  Although somewhere down the line, we forget to take care of ourselves, to put our happiness at a position it deserves to be. We do grow up to get caught in chasing our dreams, trying to strike the right balance with our work and our life, buying a house, catching flights, that somehow, we don't see ourselves anymore. We end up seeing  the professionals we are, and forget the people we are.  Here's how I see it. Isn't the only constant in your life, you? and isn't it safe to call ourselves, our body, home? Why have we somehow never taken this seriously?  Well it's safe to say this pandemic has taught everyone to slow down and somehow self-care has become a new thing to do.  Did we need a pandemic to remind us how to take care? I wish we didn't but it's true. We finally know the imp
