Time to shine

Hello here to all my beautiful readers
I've been meaning to write this for a long time, but getting the perfect photograph took a little while

So not everything in life is always as great as you imagined it or want it to be. But I guess everyone knows by now that happiness and confidence is the key to not just looking good but also leading a beautiful  life.
So generally we go into this darkness or dark zone around us when things aren't the way we want them to be. But the deal is that we never understand that fighting the darkness is not the ideal method to deal with it. Embracing it is. One needs to embrace the darkness around, accept it and find the sparkle in the darkness. There's a light that never goes out. Find that light and make it the guiding light. The faster you accept it the more beautiful your journey of making the darkness into light turns out to be.
Everyone finds their moments of little happiness in various things. Go find yours and make that the sparkle in the existing darkness. Burst the bubble of the darkness and allow the various colors of glitter to fall on you to realize how much it was worth waiting, and I promise you the happiness will be like no other.
Follow your dreams and allow your dreams to be filled with light and enough sparkle to brighten up your whole life. No other joy than living your dream and doing something you absolutely love. When you do something you love, you turn it into magic. Magic cannot be created without love and enough sparkle in yourself.
People who say magic isn't easy to create, don't really know where to find their sparkle :)

So take the opportunity of this festive season, to burst that bubble and see what beautiful colors the darkness has to give to you. Appreciate the tiny things in nature and see the immense happiness it can possibly give you.
Don't just brighten up your houses this Diwali, but also your lives and enjoy the magic that the world is ready to offer to you.


P.S. The sparkle and my journey towards magic in my life, is photography :)

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
