The Routine

How does your life look? no, I don't mean to the rest of the world, I mean to your own eye.
If the answer that went off in your head was boring, then get up, change it. Change the view and make it a little more interesting.

GET UP! make the difference. Just do it for yourself so you can breath ok. Stop worrying about what someone will say. If you need a break between work and you know it will make a difference, do it. Its for you. Make a choice, but smile.

The routine won't change unless you change it yourself.

YOU make your world what it is. Find your supports, find that one person you can call yours.
Learn to make time for yourself in all the chaos. learn to look up at the sky without fear and smile, because you can, not because you should. Embrace your scars, your scars make you who you are.
Don't be afraid to to try for the second time. Do something that makes you feel on top of the world. Feel free, its your life, make the routine beautiful :)

Make this about YOU! it's always about you :)



Its the end of yet another year. Make the new beginning already :)
You always deserve 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
